My Birthday Cake! It was so yummy! And just for me! =)

My delicious cookie cake!  It was so good!  Our new friends Blair and Heidi made it for me.  And how can you have a birthday without a Sonic drink (Lemon Berry slush).  See my happy hour Sonic cup in the background!  Thanks for making my birthday fun and for the cake.  I have a new weakness now.  THOSE COOKIES!!!

More pictures of our evening!

Hey that handsome guy stole my ice cream!
US!

Me in front of the Alamo.

Anniversary out on the town!

We went out and had a nice dinner down at the Riverwalk.  And then we took a carriage around downtown.

11th Anniversary !

It has been 11 incredible years.  I can't believe time goes so quickly.  

11 reasons why I love Ralph soooo. . . MUCH!  These are in no particular order.  And there are many many more reasons!!!

11.  Ralph is so good to me!  He treats me like the PRINCESS I am!

10. He has a GREAT smile!  It lights up his whole face and (it's the next one)  

9.  EYES!  He has beautiful blue eyes.  I could stare in them forever.  He also has eyes only for me.  That make me melt.  

8.  He wears my favorite shade of blue because it makes his eyes even more amazing.

7.  He makes me laugh and probably always will!  

6.  He's GOOFY!  Kind of goes with the laughing one but he really is and can almost always change my mood =)

5.  He takes care of me when I don't feel well.  And will do whatever he can to make me feel better.  

4.  He plans things out and remembers anniversaries and birthdays.  He always tries to make them special.  Even from Iraq!  (the last two) 

3.  He is a good and kind man!  He will do just about anything for someone in need.

2.  He is smart and works very hard for us and our future.  He takes good care of me and herd of dogs!

1.  He's my best friend!  I love just talking to him and hanging out!  It really doesn't matter what we do as long as we are together!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY SWEETHEART!!!

Lucas loves bath time!

Mom is GREAT! Give me some of that chocolate cake!

Lucas knows what is good to eat!  This looks way better than those veggies his mom is always feeding him.

Alamo and Riverwalk!

Ralph's dad came down for a visit so we took him to the Alamo and the Riverwalk.  His dad enjoys history and westerns.  So we thought it would be the perfect place to take him.
