Mother's Day Weekend

 Our boys did a great job of making the baby-mamas have an amazing weekend.  

First, it was delicious dinner at Tony Russo's, and I LOVED everything on the menu: some of the best calamari I've ever tasted, amazing fresh pastas, unique combos on pizza toppings.  I loved it all!  

Then, the concert, which did not disappoint. 

Saturday had been a suprprse until that night.  Timee, Me, and Rebecca were schedule to head for a spa and a LONG massage!  However, about an hours out, the spa called with bad news:  Two of their people called in sick, and there was no way they could accommodate all three of us mothers.  They told us to take care of it ourselves.  Both Rebecca and Timee could make it up another time, but the closest of these for me is too far for a day spa.  Rebecca and I made it to the car.  However, she started the engine, we looked at each other and said, "this doesn't feel right." 

We headed back up to grab Timee from the hotel room and made alternative plans.  I have never seen such a smile come to her face, and I am so grateful we made the loving choice to include all in the plan.  This made our snacks and a movie that much more enjoyable!  Next, we did some shopping and a snack, to not get too full before dinner at Pappadeaux! 

BB fell asleep, and we were even more grateful to get the private room for our group.  (Evan is just pretending!)

We traveled home the next day, and Stephen did above and beyond.  He recruited the boys to help him make ORANGE WAFFLES!!!!!

Love, delicious food, and time spent with music and family.  I'm such a lucky mom!!!!!

Coldplay at the Cottonbowl

We had tickets to see Coldplay in Dallas before we knew we would be moving to Hobbs.  We made it work as the first event of Mother's Day weekend.  

The first gift was avoiding the gargantuan lines for t-shirts by taking Rebecca's advice to keep walking.  As we stopped by the restrooms, we noticed a secret stand behind the trees, just beyond the restrooms. Just by walking past the huge crowds, we were the only people in line.  I was able to get an awesome t-shirt.  

We were joined by Jordan, Julia, Chris, Rebecca, Steve, and Timee.  Splitting into 2 groups, the others were across the stadium from us, but Stephen Eagle-Eye was able to locate them.  

The was my first time to the Cottonbowl.  What a great reason to be here!

As in other Coldplay shows, we were all given a light-up wristbnnd, one that would be part of the show.  They each make up the lights that are set up to work with the music.  

Once again, Coldplay puts on a great show.  Worth the wait!
