Tonight we celebrated my 23rd birthday with dinner @ Olive Garden. My birthday isn't until the 24th but, with my busy midterm week @ school it was the only time we could go out. I think the older you get, the less your birthday is a big deal. It's all down hill after 21.. ha! It was a nice dinner, the second Sunday in a row for birthdays. I really didn't know where I wanted to eat until right before (I never know what I'm craving). Always happy to celebrate with Sarah & Chad!! Here's to another year!!!
P.S. In these pics.. I am 26 weeks & 4 days; Sarah is 25 weeks & 4 days.!! I'm due May 27, & she's due June 3 (exactly a week apart.. how cool is that??)!

It is that time of year.. MARDi GRAS!! The best thing about Mardi Gras is the King Cakes!! Here in Texas, they have no idea what a king cake is, let alone know how to produce them. There are so many to choose from.. You can get cream cheese/strawberry, cream cheese/blueberry, peach, apple, cinnamon, lemon, raspberry, berry delux, almondy joy, chocolate bavarian, pecan praline, hawiian delight, and more!! They are one of the most wonderful tasting things (I bet they'd be even better while I'm pregnant!!!). Mardi Gras is the week of my birthday, Feb. 24. I am going home for a wedding the weekend of the 27th, so hopefully I can indulge in a great king cake!! B/c right now, I'd give away Fiona for one!! :)
Patrick & his boss, Matt, went fishing on the Blue River in Oklahoma. Matt's family owns property & a cabin on the river. They spent 2 days fishing. Patrick caught 11 bass, 1 small mouth bass, & a trout. The trout was 22 inches long, & enough braggin' rights to have it mounted. He's very proud of it, so I thought I'd post some pics from his adventure.
Sunday was Sarah & Chad's Baby Shower! I've been so excited to buy/give them gifts. What better to be excited about than buying your friends a baby gift?? We got a little camo onesie for Logan with his name embroidered in hunter orange on the front (along with a few other outfits). Also, a diaper genie for the diaper changing contest that Chad & Patrick are going to have (haha), bath items, and some other necessities. It was a great shower, and she received quite a bit of gifts (yay for gifts). I can't wait to go to their house and see the progression of Logan's room with all the things he has now!! Setting up the room makes it oh so real!! I get tickled to death!! I am so glad we have friends like this to experience parenthood with!!
