There has been so much going on in October...I was hoping for a slow and easy month, and of course, that isn't the way it has gone! I have been meaning to sit down and blog for a while (which is getting to be a frequent occurence lately) and my camera was left at a friends, and I just thought you guys really appreciate pictures more than anything! We've had LOTS to celebrate lately....October in my family is the month of birthdays...my grandfather turned 91 this month, and I have tons of friends with birthdays and then it is MY BIRTHDAY!!! Whoop!
And then we also got to celebrate Baby K....A group of girls held a shower for J&P and Baby K and it was so much fun getting to hang out and catch up and of course eat. Here are the cupcakes that I made...aren't they stinking cute?!? I found this "kit" at Sur La Table that had the muffin holders and these toppers....so cute.
Here are some of the KPMG girls that came -- LW, KL and AF. It was so fun to get to chat with them and catch up -- we don't get together as much as we would like! We should have also celebrated LW's last few weeks at KPMG -- she is joining the ranks of KPMG alumni and I am SO excited for her!
One of my favorite picts -- we got Baby K one of the car seats....and JK just jumped right into it. SO CUTE!
And did I mention we ate?!? you already saw the cupcakes, but then we had these whoopie pies, which were pretty good, some amazing hummus and LL made these spectacular mini pies....I wanted to eat like 50 of the small pumpkin ones!!!
And here are all the hostesses at the shower with JK and Baby K! It was so much fun to get to celebrate the K's! We can't wait to get to meet Baby K!
And then all the birthday celebrations started. I've learned I really like a few small birthday parties instead of the large ones....I love getting to catch up with all of my friends in the process! The dinner party girls went out to Celebrate both PR's birthday and mine - we found this FANTASTIC italian restaurant off Westheimer that has the same owners as Da Marco and man, it was really good! Here are the birthday girls.
The other girls in the dinner party crew -- LG and KC. (and of course, Baby C was there to celebrate with us too! SO MANY BABIES....and auntie K loves them all and can't wait for them all to get here!)
And here I am in a M sandwich! Love these M sisters....
And then on my actual birthday we went to Front Porch for some pizza and beer...and to get to hang out. We got to enjoy the FABULOUS weather too....I LOVE October just for the weather! Here is CC and I....
And here is CT and I...we tried taking a picture with her hubby too - but it was like 3 in a row and all of them turned out badly....but we laughed every time we tried to take another because someone kept closing their eyes!
And then the last birthday party....my staff wanted to take me to dinner...so I convinced them to do that and then we could go to hear MCHU play -- where the lead singer is one guy from my start class at KPMG. So off we went....below, some of my favorite KPMG girls. It was so much fun to get to catch up with them and jump around a bit!
The crew....they are some of my favorite friends from work....CB, CB and AP....I shall call the trouble form here on out. Fun, but trouble.
I laughed at these pictures -- the girls wanted a picture in the car....and it turned out really cute..
Then CB wanted to be a part - so it was more like "this is what happens when you drink and drive". They just make me laugh!
And here is why they are trouble...let's just say that wasn't the first of the night and wasn't the last....and reason #12 why I was, um, not feeling so hot this morning....or all day, but whatever.
And here is SJ....I love this girl. I should have put up the picture of her with her sticking out her tongue...that is her normal pict....somehow we got this cute one too!!!
And other things to celebrate.....we found out that my dad needed to have surgery to figure out what is going on with his heart. They thought he might have had a heart attack and probably needed a defibrillator installed. But they wanted to go in and do an angiogram and try to figure it out. Needless to say the last time we did this we ended up with a triple bypass and it was a long week in the hospital. We were all a little worried. But they went in and came out saying everything was okay -- and where there was blockage, they think they can control it by medicine. Which is absolutely FANTASTIC NEWS! It was the best birthday present ever!!!
