32 Months.....

32 months of wedded bliss in this household-ha!! :) Fun! :) We celebrated our monthly anniversary date for Jan 5th, and I can tell that having a baby has zapped us of any energy to plan those creative dates (that we used to go on for the first two years or so)!! :) I am sure that the creativity will return at some point in the future but we are taking a few months off. :) Still celebrating but just a little more low key. Just going on a date these days is wonderful....why worry about being creative! :)

As you can tell from many of the blog posts, Chris and I really love entertainment!! HA!! As part of that entertainment category, we really love trying new restaurants and seeing movies. :) So we decided to keep up that tradition for this anniversary date too. We went and checked out Kenobi Sushi and then went and saw "Up In The Air". It was a great movie!!! I can see why it was nominated for so many Golden Globes. :)

Looking forward to the Month 33 date!!! :) WHOOP!

Just a short post to say that if you have not tried this INSANELY good pancake mix from Williams Sonoma then you need to!! :) Literally fantastic if you like sweets on any level! HA!! It makes cinammon pecan waffles with icing and all!! The Bomb!!! :)

Makes Me Smile Every Year...

Well I am sad b.c it is time to take the Christmas cards down, and I just don't want to!! HA!! One of my favorite things at Christmas is the cards. I just love looking at them and seeing everyone's super cute families and kiddos!! So fun!! :)

But I guess it is time to take them down and start looking forward to the 2010 cards. All good things have to come to an end, right? :)

Thank you all for the wonderful cards this year...so fun! :)

Happy Birthday Chris!!

My hubby has the distinct pleasure of having his birthday on New Years Day. I think that is pretty fun...and since we already celebrate for weeks and weeks before for the holidays, let's keep on celebrating the day he was born too! YAY!! I love it! :) So at our house we take down all of the Christmas decorations early and get things ready for his big day!! :) My mom was here to join in the fun this year too!!

Chris had a lot to celebrate this year, and I think having a new son was the best present he could have asked for. :) Chris and Braden are like two peas in a pod...and are so cute together. :) Braden wanted to be sure his daddy had the best 34th birthday EVER!! :)

We love you Chris!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! :)
I made Chris a big birthday breakfast of eggs, bacon, and cinnamon french toast. Of course we had to start the day with a birthday candle too. :)
After a fabulous lunch a little later, it was cake time!! Chris LOVES the bundt cakes from "Nothing Bundt Cakes", so of course he had to have one. :) It looked kind of plain and boring to me when I picked it up so I had to decorate it! HA! We always get the chocolate chocolate chip one, and it is sooooo good!

Later that day we headed down to Barton Creek Mall and to have some dinner down south. We had to be sure Chris had a prime opportunity to spend any gift cards or money that he had gotten on fun treats for himself! :) Here is Braden just hanging out at the mall...
One of the things that Chris got for his bday was a awesome overhead storage contraption installed for the garage that he LOVES!!! He has wanted something like this for awhile, and he is stoked that it holds 600 lbs and 24 of those storage bins! Time to clean out the closets! :)I think we are going to celebrate Chris all month b.c it is so fun!! He is going to use another one of his birthday presents on his next day off.....when he heads out for some spa treatments that I bought him. :) Pure relaxation!! :)

Hope you had a wonderful birthday Chris!! :)

2010 Has Arrived!

Braden just wanted to tell everyone Happy New Year!! :) Hope you have a FABULOUS 2010, and that all of your wishes come true!!! :)

New Years Eve....Let The Good Times Roll!!

Yay for New Years Eve!! :) We had a lot of fun this year as we headed out to celebrate NYE and Chris's birthday in combination this year. His birthday is New Years Day but we thought we would celebrate him this year on his birthday eve. :)

I made reservations at Green Pastures for dinner...but just did not let him in on where we were headed. :) It was SOOOO good and they set us up in a romantic little table in the back of the old Victorian house. It was a wonderful dinner and we absolutely loved the food. So much that we had to take some pics of the amazing filets and desserts that we had! HA! :)

They had a ton of reservations for New Years Eve, and I totally know why now. Simply amazing. :) Loved our NYE and the start to Chris's birthday celebration. WHOOP! :)

Christmas Dinner = Good Times....But Then....

Chris and I usually celebrate Christmas with a nice dinner out a few days before the "big day". :) We pick a place that we have not been to before (b.c those who know me know that I LOVE to try new places). This year that was a little harder b.c now that we have a baby, it is obviously a little more difficult to get out to a nice place with him. :)

My mom is in town this week helping out with Braden, so she kept him while Chris and I headed out on our date on Tuesday night. We were thinking back on our dinners over the past few years. We started this little tradition after we got engaged in 2006. We thought back to our dinner in 2006 at Reed's Jazz and Supper Club, and then our dinner in 2007 at The Mansion at Judge's Hill, and finally in 2008 we headed to Joe DiMaggio’s. So this year we needed a little something different but equally as good. :) We decided to have a special night at Fabi & Rosi. It is kind of like an European bistro with lots of fun options. I had some great steak and frites and Chris ate the schnitzel and spatzle. We both loved our meals and were completely stuffed afterward. But oh so yummy. :)

After dinner we headed to Mozart's on Lake Austin to just chill out and have some more downtime together. It was freezing and rainy outside so we had to indulge in their scrumptous hot chocolate. Mmmmmmmmmm.....come to mama!!! :)

The only problem with this fun annual Christmas event was that my sweet hubby somehow got food poisoning and woke up at 7 am on Wed morning..in a very bad place!!! Boo!! :( Poor thing was SUPER sick and in bed all day on Wednesday. Not so nice things were happening to him and he was just wiped by the end of the day. We are not sure exactly what made him sick...but now he has a really bad taste in his mouth over a restaurant that really liked before! :(

Outside of that adventure on Wednesday, I'd give the actual date a thumbs up for sure!! :)
