Weekend Update + A Giveaway

Friday night Darren & I packed our bags & waited for his brother to get off work & pick us up for our mini roadtrip. He picked us up around 11 & we made it to San Marcos around 2. I was out the whole way there & went straight to bed once we got there! ha



Saturday we woke up around 10:30 & got all suited up for the river. Let me just say, I had taken a million pictures before/on the river with our waterproof digital camera but Darren lost it. Along with his sunglasses. Let's just say he had a little way too much to drink. We got to the tube rental place at 1 & didn't get on the river til 4! Needless to say, we will not be going back to that place EVER again. We didn't get off the river til almost 9. But even though we had to wait forever, we had a really good time.



Sunday we woke up late & went to lunch with Darren's brothers at Pluckers. It was our first time there & we loved it! SO yummy. Then we headed over to a bar close by to play ping pong & I sipped mimosas while the boys had their beers. 


We headed back to Houston around 5 & we were SO happy to be back with our baby boy. We seriously can't be away from him for more than a few days. #crazyfurparents



So, Ashley over at Ashley Brooke Designs does a giveaway of her favorite things for every season & I think it's SUCH a cute idea & luckily for y'all I decided to steal it. (Allison also did a cute Summer giveaway last week & I loved it!) Starting with Summer, I'll be doing a giveaway of my favorite things every season! 




1. Cute paper straws 
2. Essie - Watermelon 
3. $5 Sonic giftcard 
4. COSMO magazine 
5. A monogrammed koozie from DesignsbyRJH 
6. Banana boat tanning oil 
7. EOS lip balm in sweet mint (thanks Tori for the suggestion, I swear by that stuff now!) 
8. Crystal Light liquid - flavor of your choice 
9. Bath & Body Works "Aloha Orchid" hand soap 

The entries are pretty easy. I don't want to deal with rafflecopter this time so I'm just going to use random.org to generate a winner. You have until Thursday at midnight to enter, winner will be announced on Friday morning!

I really want a waterproof digital camera but I lose them, break them, and you get the picture. Wrinkles looks as cute as ever!! Did you get your card yet? ACK!

  28. I have yet to go to Pluckers and I've lived in Texas all my life. And the river - yeah, photos never seem to be taken when I go, too. We're usually all too busy enjoying the river. :) Which reminds me - i need to go again. Last time I went it was Memorial Day & rained on us.
