Ryan's b-day and Random Fun

We have had a busy and fun past two weekends, but I didn't take many pictures! I don't know what I was thinking. Ryan turned the big 3-0 this past week, so I surprised him last weekend with an overnight trip to Austin. We haven't done that since Cooper was born, so we had lots of fun! Unfortunately I am very pregnant by now and don't love being outside in the heat, so I'm not sure I was tons of fun to be with :) We did get to shop some, go out to eat at Ryan's fav restaurant down there, and go get some yummy ice cream as well. Not to mention sleeping in! We stayed at a bed and breakfast, and I have never done that before. It was actually pretty fun. We didn't get any pics of the room but here's the outside of the bed and breakfast. Can't see it very well with the trees.


On Ryan's actual b-day his parents were in town, so we celebrated with cake and ice cream. Please don't judge the cake, I got lazy and decided not to decorate it. Ryan said he didn't mind :) Cooper LOVED blowing out the candles.


I think I put something in his hair, I can't remember though. I just thought he looked sweet in this picture.

Before Ben and Eliz left on their vacation to the cabin (Wish we were there!!) we had them over for the day and made some art. The pictures are kind of blurry b/c I had it on a weird setting and of course didn't know how to fix it. Had to have Laura help me. I don't know what I'd do without her knowledge of cameras! Here they are showing their coloring. We used washable markers and then...

Sprayed it with water. I saw it on a blog and the pics turned out so cute. I think we sprayed too much water on it because basically all of the color came off the pics. Oh well, it was fun.

Oh too fun! Happy Birthday Ryan! You have a birthday coming up too don't you? I love the art project pictures, looks like fun. Anytime kids get to go outside half naked has to be fun!

Happy 30th to Ryan! What a great wife you are to surprise him with that trip!

Glad the B&B worked out. Was it one of the ones I mentioned? I am noticing a trend - every time Eliz is at your house she has to disrobe... ;)

What a nice getaway for the 2 of you! Happy Birthday, Ryan! I love B&B's - aren't they fun? (Probably not Craig's favorite because they usually don't have TV's;)

Yay! Happy 30th Ryan! Jessica, get ready to join the 30's club. I hope you had fun on your surprise weekend trip. I can't remember what it feels like to sleep in! haha
