Halloween 2010

This Halloween was very busy but so much fun! We had 7 house guest in 4 days! Charlie's God father Bain came to stay with us Wednesday night to go to a concert with Mark. We were so glad to see him and hope he comes back soon! Thursday night Grammy and Papaw came to visit and were nice enough to babysit Charlie while Mark and I had a much needed date night. We went to Uchi which is an amazing sushi restaurant... Mark hates sushi but wanted to surprise me since its my favorite! I am a lucky girl!! Grammy and Papaw left Saturday morning and by that afternoon we had Scott, Kim, Will and Luke Odom arrive ready to party. We all went to a family Halloween party and then Kim was nice enough to stay home while we went out for a more adult friendly party. Mark and I had sooo much fun at Duncan and Laine's karaoke party!! I have us both on film singing but we were both pretty bad so I will NOT be sharing those videos. It took a lot of liquid courage to get up there and sing so there is some slurring... not good!

God father Bain!

Though he may not be happy, look how cute his jack o lantern PJ's are!

Grammy and Papaw came to visit for two days!

October 2010

This month has been our busiest yet!! Charlie and I spent most of our time in Houston, Galveston and the lake!! We had so many parties and special occasions all over Texas...not to mention Kinkaid football!! Mark was an amazing sport about letting us leave during the week and always came to meet us on the weekends!! I have promised him that we won't leave again until Thanksgiving!!

The bride and groom!! We hosted an engagement party in Galveston for this amazing couple and ended up staying out until 2am. The drive home the next day was awful!!
