A surprise trip to Houston

On June 10th Zach and I celebrated our three year anniversary! Time has FLOWN, at the same time it seems like we have always been married! Unfortunately Zach had to be in Tampa for work that day and then flew out the next morning to Houston. So, super last minute, I decided to see if I could get a flight to Houston Thursday night to surprise him. And I did! I went over to our friends' apartment (Adam and Mel Tripp) where I knew he would be going to after work. As he was walking up the stairs I jumped out from behind a wall and yelled "SURPRISE!". Um, he was so in shock he didn't even say anything at first and just stared at me. It was pretty funny. Even though he had to work the rest of the week, it was still so fun to be together at night after work and some of the mornings. I got to have fun with my friends Mel and McKell while he was working which was so fun! I think I love Houston!

I threw these pics in from our wedding.

On Sunday we went to my BFF's house from college...McKell. On the way there we stopped by a big fish tank she had told us about to show Andrew. I'd like to think he wanted to give me a really big hug in this picture but I'm pretty sure he is just looking at the fish:)

Oh how Andrew LOVES his Dada. Whenever I pull up our blog at home he plops on my lap, points at Zach and says "dada!" as he leans in to kiss the screen. He was so happy to see him.

After dinner at McKell's house Zach disappeared in the bedrooms with the kids for a minute. I walked back there to see what he was doing and this is how I found him. I was cracking up laughing thinking....does he really think that is what a boppy is for? But apparently the kids were all handing him toys and telling him what to do with them. Funny!

Andrew and his "truck" for the week. It was the coveted toy as you can see. Ha...j/k.

I can't wait to see what sport Andrew ends up playing because he is pretty much obsessed with it all right now!

Our husbands finally become friends. Yay!!

Look at Andrew's face...he is LOVING this!

I wish this picture was better but this was so funny. Andrew had scraped his knee earlier and kept pointing to it on the way home saying "Owa" which I think means owee. So I blew a kiss and put it on his knee (because anytime something hurts he wants me to kiss it). So after I did that he decided he should kiss his knee too, but he couldn't reach it, and he kept trying and was getting super frustrated. It was so funny!

I am a LAME-O and didn't get any pictures with Mel! But here is one of her putting her headband on Andrew. We were torturing him basically. HA.

One day we went with McKell and her kids to a neighborhood splash park nearby. It is the best thing ever....I need to find one of these in Utah! I didn't have to worry about anyone drowning! Andrew LOVED it as usual.

Another day McKell and I went and did some fun stuff in Houston. First stop: Thai food for lunch. My absolute favorite...except WHAT THE HECK IS THIS??? This was what they put in front of me when I ordered Mangoes and Sticky Rice for dessert. I tried so hard not to laugh and said, "um, what is the brown stuff?" The waiter told me it was pumpkin. Very interesting. Purple wild rice, with pumpkin over it. Well, it actually wasn't too bad, but I definitely prefer the good old normal stuff!

McKell introduced me to this lovely place. Crave Cupcakes. I love how I took a picture of the box, but probably got too excited once I opened the box and didn't take a picture of the actual cupcakes. Oops. They were so yummy!

Andrew and Livy had some bathtime together:)
