Lots to talk about

Here we go... Steven and I left last Tuesday to go down to San Antonio to go see some friends from high school. Steven and I stayed in a hotel right on the river walk. It was so nice. It was called Hotel Contessa...a little pricey but very nice. They have a pool on the top floor of the hotel, which Steven and i tried out Thursday afternoon. But on wed we met up at a Mexican restaurant on the river walk with my friend Matt and his wife Mary (by the way love those two to pieces) and Steven's friend Chuck and his girlfriend Daisy( met Daisy for the first time and she is super sweet and fun, but then again you have to be to keep up with chuck). Chuck and Steven graduated together and Matt and i graduated together but were all very close in high school. So after eating we went to a place called Howl at the Moon. Its a piano bar, much like Pete's. We had the best time catching up and have drinks and laughs. Here are a few pictures.

On Thursday we walked around the river walk, the mall, the Alamo and the went to the pool. Ate some really good food and just relaxed. Friday morning we got up and left to go San Marcos to have lunch with my grandmother. Since we were passing though i thought it would be great to eat lunch with her since I'm not down here much. So we stopped at a burger place and ate a good lunch. Then we drove to Lacey and Jared house because on Sat was Caine's first birthday!!! When we got there on Friday we hung out with them and Steven's parents and then Lacey and i decided to lay out by the pool for a while. Steven's mom cooked dinner that night and then we all played a dice game called greedy dice....fun game. Saturday was the big birthday party!!! We let caine open up his presents before he took his nap and then afterwards we would have cake and ice cream. While caine took his nap we all deiced to go play pool volleyball. Me, Steven, Lacey, Jared, Emilee and Adam. Fun games boys beat us but we also said they cheated. ha ha well during the last game of volleyball, i did something to my back and it started to hurt. Didn't think much of it, just probably sore from playing....wrong pulled muscle as we found out later. get to that later. Had cake and ice cream and watched caine be the center of everything, its so much fun when you have a little one around to entertain you. here are some pics of him over the weekend. can't believe is already one. Lacey and Jared... you have one cute kid and yall have done one heck of a job!!!

Eating his birthday cake!

We got Caine a Texas shirt like ours, it was so cute. Even thought Steven's not smiling, i think Lacey got one of him smiling.

Love this Kid!!!!

Oh yeah about my back, Steven made me go see a Dr. when we got back into town yesterday and the Dr said a either really strained in it or pulled it. But she gave me a huge shot in my butt and then gave to different things to take for it. It hurts so bad...and laying in bed and on the couch doesn't really help it. Oh and to top that off when were gone this week, someone stole my potted plants off my front porch.....who does that...oh it made me so mad. They were nice pots too.
