they got offered final four/national championship tickets at a steal of a price so it gave them even more reason to come visit us! also, we had not seen them since january so it has been a long overdue but wonderful weekend with them. they started the weekend with their first experience at pappa's seafood house...yum! saturday, we went to humble city cafe for breakfast...delicious breakfast buffet by the way. we had no idea that a little arts & crafts festival was also taking place in downtown humble so my mom and i ventured through the booths after our late breakfast. then, lee took us all out to his school so my parents could see where he works now.
afterward, we had to head back to the house for the guys to grab their tickets and head to the final four! they had a great time...even if their seats were literally on the highest row possible. my dad even survived a stumble down a couple of rows on the way out...thankfully, he just walked away with nothing more than a little soreness, both to his muscles and his ego ;).
meanwhile, my mom and i made our first trip to babies r us for brendan. we scoped out a few strollers and of course picked him up a few outfits in the process. we drove over to target to compare stroller prices and went to my school to see of my sweet current and former students in their dance show. my mom had only ever seen the outside of my school so she was quite taken aback when she saw just how massive it is from the inside.sunday, lee made his awesome pancakes for breakfast and then he and my dad headed out to the shell houston open. did i mention this was going to be a sports-packed weekend?! they were two happy, tired, and sports-filled guys by the end of the weekend. anyway, they were thrilled to watch phil mickelson pull out the win and get up close and personal to quite a few big-named players. others, like tiger woods and ian poulter (one of lee's faves) were not present because they use the week before the masters to get prepared in augusta instead of at another tournament, but both of them said it was still a cool experience.
my mom and i continued our shopping by heading to the old navy in the woodlands since they have their maternity section in the store instead of just online like most. brendan may or may not have also wound up with a couple more outfits from this trip as well :). we ended our sunday early with dinner at pappasito's after the guys finished at the tournament. by the way, check out all the loot that brendan wound up with from gran and papa this weekend (these names may or may not be final...):
sadly, lee had to go to work on monday because of TAKS testing but i was able to take today off. i introduced my parents to smashburger, tutti frutti, and homegoods (new fave store). we enjoyed the day together...a rarity that has not happened in many years but was very much treasured. as i type, my parents are currently at the national championship game! they head back to alabama in the morning, but we could not have asked for a better weekend with them. we love you both!
