I had a awesome birthday weekend! Clayton had a TASP conference in Austin Friday and Saturday so we both took Friday off from work and went to Austin Thursday night. Friday morning Delana, Lisa and I took all 5 of our kids to a pumpkin patch for pictures! We ALL fit in Delana's Sequoia. It took us atleast 30 minutes to load up the first time and to figure out which 3 carseats would fit together in the back seat. I'm sure people were laughing when we had to pull out an upright carseat everytime we had to get kids in or out. Lisa got some great pictures! Check out her website: Now and Then Photography
Saturday Delana invited us to the Hairy Man Festival. I kind of thought it was a joke at first. But, it really does exist and they actually have a contest (we didn't take part in that though). The kids enjoyed a pony ride, train ride and petting some llamas.
Clayton has a hard time keeping secrets, so I knew something sneaky was going on behind my back. He had planned a surprise birthday party in downtown Austin at Spaghetti Warehouse Saturday night. All his family was there and one of my sweet friends, Annalee and her husband, Evan. It was a pretty crazy dinner with 5 kids all at the table. I hope we didn't terrify Evan and Annalee! I hate that we didn't get any pictures of this! I was trying to dig for my camera as Camille was trying to wiggle out of my arms an hour past her bedtime. It just wasn't happening! It was a fun birthday dinner!
Camille really enjoyed playing with her cousins and actually being able to attempt to keep up with them. She had plenty of room at Bubbie and Pa's house to practice those walking skills. She is going all over the place! Being in Austin with all the kids makes me jealous we aren't closer to them.

Then, Monday was actually my birthday! Monday night I always go to a girl's bible study. Well, when I arrived last night, there wasn't a bible study, but another surprise! Heather had invited lots of friends over, planned games, had a cookie cake and even bought presents! She's the best hostess! It was so fun to get together with all those girls and wrap up like mummies! I will post pictures when Heather emails them to me.
Even though I'm creeping up on 30, it was a pretty fabulous birthday! Thanks to all my friends!
