• Gma’s 75th birthday

  This weekend was excellent. I had Friday morning off to pack and finish cleaning my home before we headed down to the valley for my Grandma’s 75th birthday surprise. We vanpooled with my brother/his gf and her son. 6 people in a van for 5 hours. Lucky for me, I scored the lone seat in the back, so I got to lounge about, read, listen to music and relax. Loverly.

  

  Is my brother’s gf’s son so cute? Such a charmer!

  We arrived just in time to finish decorating the party palace. It looked like Prom Night ’97. Gold/silver streamers/hanging things, Christmas lights. I loved it. She even had a throne like chair with lights for pictures. Ah, tan cute!

   

  My brother looks enthused, right?

  Before the party on Saturday, we were all supposed to just sit pretty and not get caught. So, me, Cowboy, brother’s gf and son went to South Padre Island for the day. I love the beach. I love being near water and I love sun tanning/relaxing. This was the perfect way to spend my day. When we arrived, I noticed school buses. This can only mean one thing, beach clean up day. The beach was spotless and not overrun by kids. YAY! I scored some sun time and some swim time. The waters weren’t too rough and the perfect almost warm temperature. When we left the beach we stopped at a seafood restaurant to have lunch before heading back. So yummy. I made sure to thank Cowboy for all the driving and the beach time. Beach time feeds my soul.

  Then it was time to hurry back and get ready for the party.

   

  At the party on the left, taking a bathroom break. My first outfit choice was that beloved pink dress, but my tan lines were embarassing. I love my lips in this pic though.

   

  I opted for this dress. Yes, my bra is peeking out. Bonus points! For the first time ever, my make-up looks too light for my face. Win!

   

  On the left is a random shot from my car. I was making a dad face. LOL! On the right is me/Cowboy at the party. It was so hot in there and my face was shiny.

  

  Save a horse for my brother’s gf. She’s wearing my gypsy earrings.

  All my aunts and uncles came down and it was glorious. Funtastic times. My gma was super surprised. They had a photographer but I haven’t rec’d the pics yet. Soon, lovelies.
