Weekend Update in iPhone Pics {10.13.12}

This weekend update is sponsored by the iPhone selfie - helping people take their own picture since 2012. Seriously, this post has a ton of these type of photos....on to the weekend.....Thursday morning kicked off our weekend since Ryan took the day off for HIS 27th BIRTHDAY!!!! We started the day with orange danish rolls and presents. I made him a Dr. Pepper cake similar to a diaper cake where I stacked cans of Dr. Pepper, wrapped it in ribbon, and attached other fun gifts (mostly small giftcards, candy, and $10 bills) all around it. After breakfast with went to Southlake to do a little birthday shopping.

Thursday evening we kicked off our new small group!!! Our previous group was getting large and we had new friends looking to join, so we split. I will miss our old gang, but I am totally excited for our new group too! We did birthday cake for Ryan and I got one last picture with my pregnant friend, Rachel. I was predicting that she would have her baby the next day. I was wrong but....he may make an appearance later in this post.....

Friday morning we went to Grapevine Mills mall to do a bit more shopping. Ryan likes to scope out all his options before making any purchase :) Eva got to ride the the carousel and the rocket ship at the mall, and she loved both!  She was a great little shopper so we wanted to let her have some fun too. She also got 2 new pairs of fleece footie pjs. Lately she has decided that it's funny to take off her pj pants AND her diaper several times during the night so we decided to switch her back to footie pjs to try to keep her dressed throughout the night.  Also please disregard that pacifier in the above photo. I know she is getting way too big for her beloved binkie and plan to tackle that transition soon.

Friday evening we headed out to the Byron Nelson HS football game to cheer for our Bobcats! They had their "pink-out" night in support of breast cancer so we wore our pink too. The band had pink feathers and the Dazzlers, Eva's favorite part of the game, had pink poms for their routine. 

Saturday morning Ryan and I went to see Captain Phillips at the movie theater. I would definitely recommend this movie - so much suspense! I would rent it and watch it again when it comes out on DVD.There were also some really great previews for all the Thanksgiving and Christmas premiers, which means that come April we will have some great choices at Red Box :) 

Saturday evening we went out to Celebrate Roanoke. Think of this as a small town festival that resembles the Fair except that it's 99% smaller. Fried food. Games. Kid's activities. Live Music. We rode the children's train twice because that was Eva's favorite. We listened to Brave Combo, the famous Denton based band that played at my parent's wedding. Eva got a free snake balloon animal, which promptly popped when it fell in the grass.

Sunday morning we had our youth serve at church with set up and tear down and then had a pizza party back at our house. I got to hang out with some of my favorite middle school girls - including Nicole, who always helps with Eva. After nap time we played out on the back porch and then.....we got to go meet baby Grayson! He arrived Saturday afternoon (a day after my prediction). He was born in the same hospital as Eva so I took a picture by my favorite hospital portrait holding a cup of wonderful hospital crushed ice (so many memories). I absolutely LOVED holding this little man. He is so tiny and yummy.

Whew! What a weekend. Today is actually a holiday for lots of people, but we are going back to normal. Have a great week!
