On Friday night, we went to dinner at El Mercado and then to the IMAX theater to see "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian". While the Mexican food was just "okay", the movie was awesome! Ben and I both agreed that it was even better than the first one. We absolutely loved it.
Sometime between Friday evening and Saturday afternoon, the three eggs that were in the nest in our front yard hatched. Three beautiful (and extremely hungry) baby Mockingbirds were born, and we named them Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Actually, I named them. Ben's response was, "Sounds good." :)
All day Saturday and Sunday, Ben and I worked on our front flower bed. Ben has been in the process of building a rock/brick planter in the front yard for the past few weeks, and it is now officially finished. Yay! We thinned out the bushes that the builder had planted (there were originally 14 total -- yikes!) and planted some pink Vincas and yellow Lantana.
Sunday evening both of our families came over to help us celebrate Amos' first birthday. Ben grilled fajitas, and Amos and Annie shared a yummy dog cake that I baked from scratch (what a good mom....). Amos even received quite a few presents. I can't even imagine how spoiled the real grandbabies will be. Needless to say, it was quite the party, and both pups passed out just minutes after everyone left.
And last, but not least, I finished reading "Twilight". I'll admit that I was a little skeptical before I started it, but I loved it. I'm looking forward to watching the movie (and seeing if the actors/actresses look like I imagined them) and can't wait to read the second book....and the third and the fourth.
Well, that about sums it up. Until next time.....
