Catch up...

So, it has been a week since I last checked in but we have been busy...kinda?!?

Last week was a yucky week...weather and all! It got called again and I was busy preparing for a bachelorette party I helped host on Saturday. On Wednesday, we both took Chi Chi to the ophthalmologist. Yep, they really have eye doctors for dogs and cats. Basically, the doc had to scrap :( Cha Chi's eye so that it will heal correctly. Little guy is still hurting but we are hopeful!

Friday, our friend Bucky was in town for business and we went to dinner at Houston's (one of my fav chain restaurants). I had my favorite, crab cakes and RB had a fish covered in a lemon butter crab sauce...his was the best! We also discovered a new wine we like (Mom & Dad...) Tiefenbrunner Pinot Grigio. YUM! After dinner we went to a sports bar by our place called Fankie's to watch some of the basketball games. We headed home early b/c I had a ton to do on Saturday to prep for the party.

Saturday, Bucky came over and the guys watched basketball all day. They both were a huge help in helping me set up for the party that was going to be held in our buildings club house. some of the other bridesmaid showed up early to picth in and we had the party catered so that made things a breeze.

The bride-to-be is one of my best friends from high school. It was fun to see all the girls from back then. We first ate dinner here, had some wine and opened gifts. We rented a party bus for the night and went to a handful of bars: Fearing's Rattlesnake Bar, The Quarter Bar, Plush (for dancing) and ended the night at Dragonfly. Here are some pictures from the night:

After the bars closed four us headed back to my place to eat some of the left overs. RB and Bucky stayed in for the night being typical ...drinking beer and watching and beating on the games. We let them have the place and we went and stayed at the W Hotel (which is walking distance from our place). We had a BLAST laughing all night. We laughed so much our abs hurt the next morning. Here is a silly picture of us being cheesey

Sunday, cleaned up and relaxed.

NOW, THIS WEEK...

Tomorrow night Brooke and I are headed to...drum roll please...

Yes, we are going to the Britney Spears concert and are so excited! We are going to a friends who lives right next door to where the concert will be. We will sit on her patio and drink some wine and watch everyone go in. It is going to be one long night and I plan to take a ton of pictures!

Will update soon!!!!

Weekend Recap

We had a fun and busy weekend!

Friday, we watched the game....SFA lost but it was neat to see them on TV and have the announcer talk about SFA and Nacogdoches! That night we had a date night and went to a restaurant RB had been wanting to try, Cuba Libre. It was aw-ight ;) The fish was good and the mojitos were tasty too but not so sure we will be running back anytime soon.

Saturday, we woke up full of energy and took Cha Chi on a nice long walk. We walked down to the Starbucks and around the neighborhood. Cha Chi was so tired he just passed out when we got back. RB still had a bunch of energy and missed working in the yard when we owned the house so he called our friends Alex and Morgan and asked if he could come over and help Alex. We spent the morning over there. I got to play with our Goddaughter and Morgan and I went to a couple garage sales.

RB hard at "work" with Mallory

We stopped for a hamburger at the one and only Keller's. It is so fun to park there and people watch and of course the burgers can not be beat!

That night we had four different things going on but had to pick just one so we choose to go to a friend's house for a crawfish broil. Everyone there went to SFA so it was fun to watch the Texas basketball game there but then just to catch up with everyone. We also played Flip Cup and I must brag that I did awesome! It was a blast and I may have to introduce it at the next family get together! RB was our referee and was too darn funny. For those who do not know what Flip Cup is...



The people in the video (FYI...don't know any of these people just found video on youtube) had way to much beer in their cups and yes, Mom, we drank responsibly and RB did not play since he was the DD.

We left that party and went and meet some of my H.S. friends at a pub for a going away party. Didn't last long there b/c it was super crowded and we were ready to go home. We were craving tacos so we went to Fuel City. When ever any of the family comes to visit this is one of the places we will take ya. Here is a (cheesy) video but you have to see it...


Sunday, we got up a little late (for us) and I had to get ready for a bridal shower that I had to attend. I am a bridesmaid in the wedding and it is in less then a month in Mexico! This weekend I will be hosting a lingerie shower here at our place...more to come on that later!

After the shower I came home and RB and I decided to go out and enjoy the amazing weather. We got on the trolly that runs in front of our place and took it up to West Village. I know I am playing a lot of cheesy videos but didn't take many pictures this weekend so...here ya go again


We will be making the trolly ride to all the Uptown (which is where we live) restaurants and bars a every weekend tradition. Here in Dallas, brunch and patios are a HUGE deal. We decided we need to see what all the fuss was about and let me tell you...we are hooked. We first started at Manny's Uptown and enjoyed the signature margarita and split a large botana platter on their patio. Both were really good and we will be back there often. Then we walked to Mi Cocina and got a great table on their patio and had a margarita and beer and just enjoyed watching the LARGE crowd enjoying all the patios around West Village. It was so much fun!!!

Well, kids, that was one long weekend and this week we have a lot to do. I will update when I can!

Mom & Dad, even though we had a fun weekend here we are sad we didn't get to spend the weekend with y'all in SA like we used too! Glad, y'all two wild kids had a blast ;)
