dinner, dinos & downpours

the last few days have been pretty awesome.

pardon me while i brag for a bit.

on friday, my parents came to h-town for the day!

since my dad was busy with work stuff, my mom and i got to hang out and shop and do girly things.

and we even took a little trip to the chocolate bar.

yummmmm!

friday night, my mom offered to make dinner instead of going out, but since we don't have a kitchen table yet(teeny-tiny apartment problems), i was a little nervous to have them over. 

never argue with a mama.

we took a trip to central market and gathered everything we needed for mama to teach me how to make a fabulous dinner. 

i'm so glad we stayed in and had a homemade dinner via floor picnic. 

and now, i have another genuinely fantastic meal in my arsenal.

a non-hungry bub-hub is a happy bub-hub.

i have a fabulous set of parents.

they're pretty much the bomb[dot]com.

on saturday, my parents headed over to waco to cheer on the bears with my baby brother, and bryce and i headed to museum district day!

the city of houston hosted free admission to 18 museums in museum district. holla!

(hunger games style...)

bub-hub and i picked out two:

the museum of natural science (dinos for the win!)

and the weather museum.

after spending 2 lovely hours fighting the crowds and browsing the MNS, we were ready to mosey on down the road to the weather museum. just as we were walking out the doors, a little major downpour decided to stop us in our tracks. 

houston sure knows how to rain.

we opted to head back to the apartment for pizza and movie night.

yayyyy!

there may have been a little puddle jumping splashing along the way.

i dare you to walk through a major downpour and not jump in a puddle.

sometimes, i get a little bummed that bub-hub and i are away from our families, but i know the Lord has us here for a reason, and we're having fun on our adventure.

but it sure does a heart good to have the family come and visit. 

nothing beats hugs from mama and daddio.

how was your weekend??
