Last week we had 2 play dates with two of Noah's friends, Makinsey and Will. Will is Noah's bestest buddy, he will tell you so. I've made the mistake several times of calling Noah my buddy and he's quick to correct me. "I'm not your buddy, I'm Will's buddy" is the response I get every time.

Friday we went to Jump-n-Jive with our good friends, the Sparkmans. We took our lunch and had a semi-picnic. It's hard to get little ones to pay attention to food when they are surrounded by 50 foot inflatables. Noah and his daddy ha
d the best time! They conquered every slide and bouncer in the place. I even went on a few slides until I killed my wrist. It's a work out climbing the steep stairs to the top of the way-too-fast-for-a-2-year-old slide. I now have a bulging knot sticking out of my wrist. I think I'm getting old.
Saturday we helped my mom pack. She is moving and will be a little over 2 hours away. I'm really excited for her and her new phase of life, but I am also really sad for her to leave. I love having my mom around. We have so much fun t
ogether and my kids are crazy about her! Two hours isn't far, but it is definitely further than 3 minutes.
Saturday evening Brad and I attended a fund raiser shindig for Child Protective Services. This is the second year for Havana Nights, and it is such a fun event. The entire night is based around the Cuban cigar smoking, mojito drinking idea. The food was great and I tried my luck at the Roulette table.
I've come to one conclusion about gambling...I am terrible. No kidding. The odds are extreemly high that if you choose the opposite of whatever I chose, you will win. It is okay with me; I'm not much of a gambler. I prefer Go Fish. Actually, I prefer Facebook.
It was a great night with a lot of fun people. I am al
ready looking forward to Havana Nights III!
Today we did the church, lunch, nap, clean, grocery store thing. Only we did it all in the rain. It has been raining here for the past 3 days. I have loved the cool, drizzly days and nights. It is a nice end to a stretch of blistering hot days. I am hoping it will perk all of my plants back up.
And tonight we went to see my sister-in-law and nephew who flew in for the week from Austin. We are all really excited they are here. We love us some Ty-Ty!
This is the start to Brad's birthday week! His birthday is Wednesday so this is the day that I finally am able to start celebrating. I drive him crazy with all of my birthday hooplah, but I just cannot help it. It is the one day of the year that I get to do all of the fun things for someone that I wish I were able to the other 364 days. I promised him that I wouldn't throw a party this year. Every year he asks me not to, but I just cannot help myself. Something instinctively causes me to pick up the phone, call friends, order a cake and announce how important I think my husbands is. It makes Brad really uncomfortable. So this year I promised, NO party. Part of me worries though that he may actually be disappointed if I don't do something relatively big. I am just taking his word for it that he really doesn't want an earth-shattering blowout.
This would have been a much more interesting post if I could have shown action shots of all the fun. Maybe this week I'll pull out the camera ;)

I think you need to throw him a huge blowout when he's 30. That will be here before you know it!
I want to hear about all the things you do for your hubby during his birthday week. I need some ideas... Britt's turning 31 soon!
I did a party for him for his 30th and thought it was incredible... he liked it too, had fun, but he would've been just as happy had we had a romantic evening together. I'm like you, Ashley. I like to party!!!
Can i mention again how funny I think your Noah and Barnes and Noble story is? odd. hilarious.
Ah...hem...I think you left out a very important detail about your Friday night!!!! And I'm not talking about your "smile, your on candid camera" moment.
