Our busy weekend in Dallas

Syd and I went to Dallas for a few days last week and through the weekend. The main reason we went up was my best friend, Jenn, had her son's 1st birthday party. So we stayed at her house for a couple nights. Here is Syd and her daughter, Brinley.

Here are the birthday boys.

We had a great time at her house. We did some shopping and just caught up.

Then, we went to my brother's house for a couple nights. Here is Sydney and Karalyn holding hands! So cute. You'll never guess where we were going....

Ha, you guessed it!

I just had to go. They only serve chai cupcakes with chai frosting on Fridays! And we all know I love chai! Also, in the box is pumpkin (yummy!) and red velvet (also yummy!).

The girls did a lot of swimming. I can't stress enough how much Sydney loves to be outside and loves the water.

Now a funny story - Sydney received a bunch of balloons as part of the party favors from Austin & Logan's party. I was playing with Karalyn and I decided to weigh the balloons down so they would hover around Karalyn's head. Well, I underestimated the weight of the toy I tied to it and let go. Up and up it went, then around and around it went in the ceiling fan! Thankfully, it just took a few minutes to unravel. I thought it was going to be at least a good half hour before the fan was working again. Ah well, the moral to the story - don't let me play with balloons around ceiling fans that are turned on!

I also want to thank Natalie, a high school friend, for meeting me for lunch. It was really great to see her and meet her daughter! And apology to everyone I wasn't able to see. It's so hard getting to be with everyone with a limited amount of time. I know we'll be in Dallas again soon!
