Anyway, I will start with the time I spent with Karen, Joey, and the BOYS. After we picked up Nichols, we went back to the house for a quick breakfast of homemade banana nut bread and fresh strawberries. Then we went shopping for the baby shower that was quickly approaching. I did find several thing that stated what an AWESOME AUNT Jax would have. (For those of you who do not read Carla's blog, which I highly recommend...."Jax"en will be my nephew's name when he arrives). After shopping (which I have learned is my sister's favorite past time), Nicholas picked out where we would have lunch.
Nicholas picked out a place called Genghis's Grill. I had never been there before but both of the kids love it. It is a buffet of raw meat, veggies, spice, and sauces. You can make your own recipe or follow thier suggested recipe cards. Then they put your food on this huge grill slab thing and cook it. Then they bring it to you. It was actually SO GOOD. Nicholas really enjoyed teaching me to eat with chopsticks. Here are some pictures:
After lunch we took the boys and Joey back to the house for naps. I shoulda stayed and took one as well, but I didn't. I needed some one on one quality time with Karen. So, we went to the spas. After pedicures, we went shopping. I actually ended up with a good bargain. A really cute shirt for $10. I then got to take Karen to her first Starbucks. Can you believe she has one less than 2 blocks from her house and has never been!!!!!! Anyway, we got afternoon treats and went home. I really think that venti java chip frappechino helped me get through the rest of the afternoon.
I got to spend time with the boys....Nicholas and I attempted to learn a magic trick. I actually got pretty good at one. Too bad Joshua was the only one that was impressed. Ha ha. Joshua and I painted his piggy bank. Joshua designed it and picked the colors. I just help even them out. He did awesome. I had a great afternoon. I think Karen was going to cook but somehow we ended up at Joshua's favorite place to eat. Rosa's Tortilla Factory. It was really pretty good. I know good mexican food is hard to come by in Texas but this place was really good. Joshua showed me where they made tortillas. It was cool. After dinner we went shopping again. Ha ha ha. I never shop so much as when I am with my best friend. Don't get me wrong. I am surely not complaining. I found some really great deals. A pair of shoes for $16 and another shirt for $6. But then it was definately time to go home. With a glass of wine we went over our new treasures and then prepared for the next day.
I love them so much!!!!!!!!!! I always enjoy my time with them. In an earlier post I talked about spending Good Friday with them in Carlsbad. Here are a few pictures from that:
