My mom in Texas!

After we came back from Austin, my mom had flown into town!

We were able to have her over to our home for the first time!

We had dinner and a great time!

My mom spent 4 days babysitting Hudson while Nate & Brooke

were out of town! Here's us toasting to a great night!

Mmmmm....Yogurt!

These are my new Oakleys I got from Ben for my birthday!

Now I can ride my bike in style....and protect my eyes too!

Biking, Biking, and more Biking!

Despite the fact that it rained 1 1/2 of our 4 days away...

we still managed to ride on 4 trails!

Overall, I believe we conquered 25 miles!

It was a great time! By the last day our legs were Jello!

We stopped in Gruene, TX on our way home and had lunch at a

great restaurant...The Gristmill

Delicious!

Our Weekend in Austin!

Last week Friday we left with another couple to head to Austin, TX!

We planned on doing some mountain biking and taking some time to relax!

Unfortunatly our first day and a half it rained....

but we preoccupied ourselves with some shopping, food, and bike shops!

Happy Birthday to Me!!

This past Sunday I celebrated my 28th birthday!!

I had a great day! I was able to sleep in....which I love!

Ben took me shopping, and then suprised me by taking me out

to dinner, only to have some very special people meet us there!
