This post is a little over due, but Nick's birthday was last Sunday and he turned 29! We celebrated in Houston with Nick's parents and brother's family. We had a great time relaxing and hanging out with G-Ma (which now sounds more like Jam-Maw) and Paw Paw. Luke spent most of the weekend going pee-pee outside in the grass, a new little trick he learned on the road trip down, but I am happy to report we are back to going pee-pee in the big potty and have only had a couple of toddler fits to go back outside and "put out the fire".

When we got back in town, we celebrated again with Uncle Kent at Macaroni Grill and then Sheridan's for ice cream afterward. And then on Wednesday we celebrated yet again as a family and I made a yummy Orange and Nut Coffee Cake (thanks Paula Dean) and gave Daddy his gift from the kids. I am taking him out on a date next Friday night and my mom is watching the kids. I am gearing up to pump enough bottles so that we can enjoy a LONG evening out on the town.

So, happy birthday, Sweetie! I love you!

Here is a shot of that awesome coffee cake. I'm no cook, but I have to admit this was pretty darn good. It's filled with cream cheese and topped with pecans and melted butter!



And here is Nick with the kids.



And another shot with a little more attitude from Luke.
