Weddings and Showers and Birthdays...oh my!

We have been celebrating every weekend in 2011 with weddings, showers, and birthdays. No complaints here. We love celebrating milestones with our friends. Its an unbelievable year for babies too. Five of my friends are all due this spring within a month of each other! Unfortunately I did not get any pictures of those showers, but here are a few of our favorite moments of 2011 so far...

Mark's Wedding in Indiana

Cold, but beautiful. I only wish I got a picture of the snow! We had so much fun catching up, dancing and hanging with all Chris' buddies from A&M. Some of whom we hadn't seen in years!

Rebekah's 30th Surprise Party

Elizabeth planned a fabulous girl's only surprise party at a private wine cellar room at Ousies Table, a restaurant in Houston. So much fun...good food, good wine, good stories, good times!

Garland's Wedding

Small, quaint and truly special. The wedding was held on the banks of the Riverwalk in back of a bed and breakfast. Then we had a fabulous dinner at Pasanos....a San Antonio favorite for Italian.

A very happy married couple!

Jude's Birthday Party

Jude turned 2...unreal! We had a "monsters and milkshakes" theme party. Since Jude is our little monster who loves milkshakes more than anything in the world.


Ana made cupcakes again this year. Our most favorite and delicious birthday gift tradition!

Check out these adorable little monsters!

Check this out....the pinata has just been busted, kids go running to the candy, except of course for Jude who has just realized that Thomas the Train has been smashed (he is in the back with the blue shirt looking at a broken and beaten Thomas)....scroll down

This is Jude now realizing and crying for Thomas! I don't blame him....crazy Mexican traditions!

Things are much better now with his monster cupcake.

Jude was taking a sneak peak at his gifts.

Gabe's 3rd Birthday

The week after Jude's birthday is our Godson's birthday. They are just a year and ten days a part so it's always so fun to see where Jude will be in exactly one year. This was the first birthday we had been able to come to because The Mays are now just down the road in Austin. Unfortunately that road had some major traffic and we were more than just a little late, but still got to munch, talk, and play. Here they are ready to race...Molly, Jude, and Gabe!
