Weekend Recap

We had a great weekend starting on Thursday when my mom and sister Monya flew into Houston. When my mom visits we have to go to Lupe's Tortillas so we headed there for dinner. Friday we did some shopping. We eventually found some cute shirts for Monya after she tried on one that had my mom and I almost peeing our pants as she looked like Dollly Parton's daughter! We also found a few more things for Asher of course too. We also enjoyed having dinner with Ryan's parents, Bethany, Mabel and Annie. Saturday two of my friends in the ward, Benjeline and Kristin, had a wonderful shower for Asher and myself. They put together such a great shower! Asher got so many cute things and some things we still really needed.

Thanks to all our family and friends who came to the shower!! We really appreciate it! (For my sisters that couldn't come - this is the most that you need to see of my huge belly!)

My mom also brought the completed blanket and valance for Asher's room. It really made the room great! Now we just have to get some pictures of Ryan surfing over the dresser.




Ryan smoked a brisket on Friday night and it turned out fabulously! It was one of his best yet. I know all of us really enjoyed it. Thanks for staying up all night Ryan!
