Birthday and Prom

Katelyn and I headed to Austin for my birthday!  We enjoyed the view of the bluebonnets on the drive up, but were very happy to be there.  We did not have many plans which was a nice change.  Thursday even, we just hung out and relaxed.  Friday we decided to head out and run some errands.  Its amazing how much we can accomplish in a short amount of time.  After a long errand day, mom and I enjoyed watching The Help while Katelyn napped.  I love movie time, but rarely get to watch them since Chris is not a movie fan.  Needless to say, its a welcomed treat for me.  On Saturday (Happy Birthday to me), we headed over to the park for some playtime.  The weather was perfect, so it was packed, but we had a great time on the playground and walking along the lake.  Later that day, we headed over to Aunt Judy's.  As luck would have it, Steph and Maddie's prom was also on my birthday...yahoo!  We got there just in time to get some pictures of the girls in the bluebonnets in their backyard.  They are so pretty and the girls all dressed up...what a sight!!  While they went to drop off cars and get in the limo, we headed to the neighbors house for some more bluebonnet pics of Katelyn and then down to the river for a few fun water pictures.  Before we knew it, it was time to go meet up with the girls to finish up the prom pictures.  Prom is so different from when I was in high school.  They wear a lot more short dresses and hair down.  The girls were beautiful and so excited.  It was fun to be part of their special day.  On the way home, we stopped by HEB to pick up food for a yummy surf and turf birthday dinner compliments of Mark.  It was tasty!  We also picked up a small swimming pool for Katelyn to enjoy the rest of the evening and Sunday.  Its amazing what a $10 pool can do for a kid.  All, in all, it was a fun birthday weekend.
