Mimi & Papa visit (June 21-23, 2009)

For my mom's birthday which is on June 22nd and for my birthday which is June 23rd my parents decided to come visit us. We had so much fun and Andrew just couldn't wait for Papa & Mimi to get here on Sunday. When Mimi & Papa got here we had homemade lasagna that I made for Jon for Father's Day with salad, garlic bread and cheesecake for dessert. My dad really liked the dinner which was good to hear because I was kind of nervous cooking for my parents. Then we cleaned up dinner and went to visit the Watsons (my cousin) that live here in Cedar Park too. Then Mimi & Papa went to their hotel and told me they would call us in the morning when they had gotten up because they were going to sleep in.

The next morning when Mimi & Papa got here we didn't really know what we wanted to go do so we headed down to the capitol which was fun for the first 10 minutes and then Andrew just go too restless so him and Papa went off to explore and Mom and I just sat and talked. I sure do love my mom. She is amazing. When the boys came back we went outside and played on the capitol grounds for a little while.

Then it was getting too hot and it was lunch time so we headed back to Cedar Park and went and got lunch at Texadelphia. YUMMY!!! Then we drove to the office so mom could get her surprise massage I had set up for her birthday present. While mom was getting her massage Papa & Andrew played with cars and Papa tried to take a nap but Andrew wouldn't let him.

After mom's massage which she really enjoyed we had to get some things at HEB. While we were in the store Andrew asked if we could get a toy and of course I said not today to which mom said Mimi & Papa are here so yes Andrew pick out a toy. Can you say SPOILED! So Andrew picked out a Spiderman toy which was funny b/c I didn't think Andrew even knew who Spiderman was but that is what he wanted so that is what he got. Then dad started trying to teach Andrew the Spiderman theme song but didn't really know the words so they just had fun making up their own song.

Then I canceled my Piano lessons for that Monday night and we went and saw the bats fly out of the Congress Bridge at sundown. It was the coolest thing to see and I will for sure go again. Dad said the info. he read said there were about 1.5 million bats that fly out every night. WOW that is just amazing.

Then on Tuesday we went to Zilker Park. Papa & Mimi bought us slushy and we ate those while we rode the train around the park. Andrew loved his slushy so much he could have cared less about riding the train. Oh well, we had fun.

After the train we let Andrew play on the playground for a little while but then we headed home b/c it was just too hot outside.

Andrew watched movies and I just cleaned up the house and got some work done.

Then when Jon got home from work we went out to Texas Roadhouse for my birthday dinner. I just LOVE their rolls and cinnamon honey butter. While we were there they had me sit on a saddle and sang happy birthday to me. I was just loving it and even swung around a napkin above my head like a rope or something. TOO FUN!!!!

Right before we left for Texas Roadhouse dad had taken Andrew to HEB with him and had bought him some Batman and Spiderman movies. So after dinner we came back and started to watch the movies but we turned them off really fast because they were teenage theme cartoon movies with cussing and just bad stuff. Andrew was so sad when we turned the movie off but was even sadder when Mimi & Papa left. He just cried and cried but after we called and talked to Mimi & Papa he was ok.

THANKS Mimi & Papa that was so much fun to have you come visit. LOVE YA!!!
