Birthday Weekend in Memphis

This weekend I went up to Southaven to stay with Jennifer and Wes for my birthday weekend. (It's a birthday that ends in a zero - yikes!) Since Grady is usually gone storm chasing on my birthday, he always fixes me up with something really sweet. This year he got me a spa day at Gould's Day Spa at the Peabody Hotel. Wooo wee! The husbands worked together and Jennifer got a spa day for Mother's Day, so we went together on Monday. Grady's mom also came up to Southaven and helped keep the babies.


In case you haven't noticed, we've got some happy babies on our hands.

Precious!

Then there's drunk baby and monster baby...
we laughed at this picture until we cried!

Saturday night we got a visit from Jenn's friend Megan and her twin girls!

"Look at these great toys!"

"Let's get those babies!"

"Help us Grandma! Here come the twins!"

"They're headed for my swing!"

We went to a really nice outdoor shopping mall on Sunday and the babies were soooo good.
Here we are eating lunch outside at CrepeMakers, which was dee-lish.

Grandma stealing sugar outside CrepeMakers.

We got our makeup done at the Bare Escentuals store,

and Delia and Wesley slept the whole time.

Shopping all day is hard work!

We found a precious christening gown at Dillard's for Delia's baptism in a few weeks. Then Delia had a giant blowout in the Dillard's Ladies Lounge (not very ladylike) and we had to throw away some of her clothes.

Luckily Wesley let Delia borrow his bath raft that night.

Then he and Grandma Amanda helped her fall asleep.


p.s. It is after midnight, I just finished unpacking and posting pictures, and the dogs are barking like crazy in the back yard. I rescued a big chewed-on turtle around 9pm, so I'm thinking it's another one. I walk out there in my flip flops with a flashlight, hear Buddy yelping, and IT'S A SNAKE! Grady, come home! What kind of snake is solid brown? I threw the dogs in the laundry room for the night. Maybe the snake is not poisonous and the pups will still be alive in the morning.

Absolutely precious pictures. And I KNEW I was forgetting something and it was your BIRTHDAY!! Happy 30!!
And I hope the snake was called home to hell where all snakes belong. Yours is the second snake story I have heard in as many days. I hate 'em!
But the babies are adorable and your comments are just hilarious!!
Happy Birthday! Don't you wish you could have a spa day everyday????
