the weekend

hope you had a wonderful, relaxing weekend!
we sure did :)

it started off thursday night with a little happy hour birthday celebration for casey at melrose pub.
i surprised casey by having some friends meet us for drinks, apps and cupcakes at one of his fav hangouts.
i couldn't believe i actually kept it a secret!
i've been known to slip up in the past ... whoopsie!
he had so much fun and he's been talking about it ever since.
i think it was just what he needed after some rough months at work, adjustment to being a family man
... and everything else in life!

thanks to my sweet brother who got to melrose early to hold a table, we got the best seats in the house.
right next to super shot!
it totally made the celebration a fun affair ... for the guys that is!
who knew a jar of quarters and an old school basketball game could be such a hit!

i didn't get tons a pics, but here's a few ...

celebrating casey with a little o'douls :)

the casemeister in action!
(that's what i used to call him ... it's kinda unfortunate!)

reg shootin' like david robinson!
(that's who he used to wanna be when he was little)

then casey and i went to dinner at the city house for dinner.
YUM-my!
we LOVED the atmostphere!
it reminded us of a place we went to in portland and buenos aires.
he had catfish and grits and i got the margherita pizza.
mine tasted like a little bit of italia ... so fresh!

i would have shared a pic of casey opening webb's gift but we've gotten in the habit of doing it first thing in the morning when everyone's in their pj's and piled in our bed.
i think i've shared enough of those in the past!! :)
but i'll tell you what webb got his daddy.
a juicer!
... i know, a gift only fitting for my husband!

friday we went to chattanooga for our annual "staycation".
ever since the economy tanked we started this fun tradition in our family.
though sadly, reg and al couldn't make it.
reg ... we were really sad you missed out on the cake dad and mitsy got us.
a birthday/anniversary cake from the one and only jackson bakery!
it's the best white on white cake chattanooga has to offer and has been around for forever.
thanks dad and mitsy!

saturday morning we went to the pool which was such a treat.
of course webb was in heaven and kept wanting to go in the "big pool, big pool!"

he kept wanting to jump off casey's chest and was putting his hand up in the air.
it was hysterical!
we didn't even tell him to do it.

so into it and such perfect form!

learning to jump from the side.

kicking his "toes" as he would say!

then saturday night we went on a little date for our 5 year anniversary and saw the help!
such a great movie.
our big anniversary celebration comes this weekend when we head to south beach!
i'm so excited i can hardly stand it!
