October Birthdays

Happy Birthday to some of our friends and fam that celebrate(d) their birthday's in October!









My Uncle Richard turned 35 October 8. Doesn't he look great for his age? We all went out to eat at San Lorenzo, a Mexican restaurant down in the Kemah area the Saturday before his birthday. It was a surprise dinner and Lisa brought him to the restaurant and he had no idea - when he walked out on the patio SURPRISE! He said in all 35 years of his life he's never had a surprise birthday party. :)



We got the waiters at the restaurant to sing to him - so here's a pic of them smearing his face with whip cream! I guess it's tradition when you go there for your birthday. I know where I'm never going for my birthday!


Hannah Helfert turned 8 this month! What a smarty pants! Shannon sent us pictures from her birthday party and it looked like Hannah and her friends had a great time at a pumpkin patch near their home.


Shannon (Blake's sister), her hubby Joe, and their three kiddos Hannah, Britton and Charlie all live far far away in Baltimore. Here are the three of them playing in the waves on a recent fam trip to Bethany Beach.


We don't see them nearly enough and Blake and I keep saying we need to make a trip out there. We'll get around to it one of these days!





Chris (Blake's bro) turns 41 this month. Here's a pic from his 40th Birthday/Halloween Bash from last year. FUN. L to R Carol as the Queen of Mean, Linda as Border Patrol, Chris as GI Joe (?) Blake and I as Dog and Beth the Bounty Hunters (yes those are real) and Gia as a princess. You're going to have a hard time topping that this year!






Cheryl Brashear (Blake's aunt) celebrated her bday on Oct 11. Here she is leading us in prayer at our wedding. She always has the right words to say - never a dry eye. Cheryl sent us the cutest fall-themed 'Welcome' sign and pumpkin scented candle for our new home. Always so thoughtful!





Erin Hurrle, now Balmert, celebrates Oct 19! Erin and I became BFFs during nursing school and now she lives 'far far away' in Seattle! (Jealous.) She works as a labor and delivery nurse and delivers little babes into this world. Here's a pic of how gorgeous she was at her wedding - and this pic showcases her true personality. :) Miss you Erin!


Travis Stickle (Katie Tacl's boyfriend) is another year older this month also. 'Trav' - his nickname given to him by Mary Foley - Katie, and Maddie all just moved into a new home they built in San Antonio and they're having a great time painting and wall mounting flat screens. The pic above is Katie and Trav aka Summer and Billy Bob at a white trash party we had one night in Lubbock.


Jill Westmoreland, one of Blake's close friends from high school, is a new mom to her baby girl Elizabeth Jean and they call her Ellie (isn't that sweet?) and her birthday is coming up on October 25. Jill and her husband Bradley live in the cutest house near Chris and Linda outside of Austin. I'm sure little Ellie is keeping her busy these days!


Is that a hula hoop?!? Here's Katherine Tomasi celebrating her birthday this past Saturday - she flew in from New York City (she's real big shot now) to party down with all her Houstonian friends. They're was a cute one of Tomasi by herself but I had to use this one so Lauren wouldn't feel left out. haha Love you girls!!

OMG I almost forgot! The mom of one of sweetest little ladies I know. HA! Christy's Mom BETH turned 35 also this past Saturday! She and Richard are the same age! Seriously BETH is a hoot to hang out with and her FWD: FWD: Fwd: fwd: emails always crack me up. :) Love you BETH!

Beth: I promise that I will only call you Liz maybe 2 more times. I looked back on this post and called you Beth and Liz in the same paragraph! Ahhh...

And me! HAHAHA! You didn't think I'd leave myself out did you!?! Happy birthday to me!! What a classy bride with my beer!!!!!
