Cinco de Mayo ~ Talk Derby to Me!!

For my older brother, Michael's, birthday we decided to celebrate in CS with the group. There was a party planned for Lake Bryan's Icehouse restaurant for the daytime then on to other places as the night went on.

We had these cute green cups made for the festivities! We (Daniel actually got to go with us this time) got in on Friday just in time to meet at the Hilton to see Nat, Toodge and Sus! There is never a dull moment with that group! ;)

Saturday I tood the girls to a few neighborhood garage sales and we scored these 'L' sweat bands!! Then we played with the kids until it was time for the party. Mom dropped us off at the Lake and we started the party!

We got cups made, drank margaritas and Dos Equis, enjoyed the beautiful afternoon on the lake and then headed to Northgate. Eventually we ended up at Rockies, a country dance bar, owned by some old highschool friends. College Station is such a small town! On Sunday, my parents took the girls to Flint, TX where we would be vacationing the next week and me and Hayes drove Daniel to the airport

Me and the boys hit up Willy's on the way to meet Uncle Carlo at the St. Rose Spring Festival. He was working at the beer and margarita booth! That cracked me up!

One of the first things we did at the Church Festival was ride the barrel train. They both loved it though I think that Daniel was a little dizzy!

Me and Daniel love a silent auction and they had a huge one going. I loved so many of their baskets they put together. We ended up winning the bids on a Bug package full of toys, games, puzzles, gadgets, etc. relating to bugs. It is really cute! We also got a water basket with fun things for our pool including a basketball goal, tube, slip n slide & waterguns! How fun is that!!?!

Hayes got to have 2 snowcones at the festival and loved it all..He was so cute and such a good boy even skipping his nap!

That evening, I met Aunt Drene (my college friend Marigene) at a BBQ where Hayes had the most fun being the only child..He got to run wild and learn how to do the 'pound and then blow it up' hand shake.

We spent the night at her new apartment, stayed up way too late chatting but it was so great to see her..it's been way too long!!
