May and June are filled with celebrations, and it is so fun!! May is Mother's Day and several family birthdays, including my stepmom and I. June is Father's Day as well as Jason and my dad's birthday. We always do a girls' birthday dinner in May, and a boy's birthday dinner in June. First up is girls' birthday dinner, Buca di Beppo. A family style Italian restaurant that is just AMAZING. Check out our dessert sampler :) Daddy's birthday weekend We toured the Cowboys new stadium- that is an impressive place We had dinner at home, then went out for dessert! BJ's pazookies- YUM They are cookies baked in a small skillet, and they come out all soft and chewy. Then, they top it with ice cream and hot fudge or caramel- Oh YEAH!!! You can see our empty plate of 3 mini pazookies. Among others, we had a peanut butter cookie with chocolate ice cream on top that was TO DIE FOR. So cute, but SO crazy Father's Day Toy Story 3!!! Father's Day meal: Twisted Root...

I tried to get this post out before we left for vacation, but it didn't happen. But, I don't want the fathers and grandfathers to get overlooked, so here it is! Again, we are incredibly blessed to have our family live close, and to be able to see our fathers on their day. We had Jason's family over Saturday night for Mexican food, per Papa's request. Papa and his boy, givin taters Stickin close to Aunt D Playing with Uncle Jeff Sunday morning, the kids and I made a crumb cake for Jason for breakfast and gave him his annual photo calendar. The kids made their cards for Jason this year. I asked them questions about their awesome daddy and they told me what they thought. Here is a sample: Why is Daddy a good Daddy? (Lucy) He loves me so much. What is Daddy's favorite thing to do? (Lucy) Getting home and eat and talk. What is your favorite place to go with Daddy? (Walker) The zoo. Why is your Daddy a good Daddy? (Walker) He's not a bad daddy. I like it when he wres...
