Buddie Club Party, Fake Birthday, Motorcycle Club, & The First Day of School

So much to update. I took off Thursday & Friday. Ahh I love breaks. Thursday Jacob & I slept in...wow that felt great! We had breakfast, watched cartoons, and then got ready to head out to the Astros Buddies Club party. We got to Minute Maid around 12:15 p.m. and waited in line. Thankfully we were under a tree so we had shade...thank you God! They let us in the doors at 1:00 p.m. and they gave us an agenda of the party. I think I was one of the only people to read the agenda because if you would have read it you would have known that different players were at different sections and not all the players in one section. Tons of people were standing in one line but we went to the farthest section and only had about 3 people in front of us. We stood in line for a few minutes and got Brian Moehler and Jose Valverde's autographs. Jacob was so excited...& so was I!. After we got the autographs we played a few games and played on some moonwalks. We saw Junction Jack and Jacob stabbed him with his balloon sword...probably not the best idea.

We then went and got to go into the Astros dugout. It was awesome! We got to go onto the field and actually sit where the Astros do during the game. As dumb as it may sound...to me it was a dream come true...I love the Astros and it was just an awesome experience. After the dugout we went and played in the Squeeze Play. We had a great time. After that we headed home and got a much needed nap. That night we went out to eat for Ruben's parent's birthdays.

On Friday, Jacob's school was closed for teacher in-service so I had both Jacob & Madelyn. We played all day and then that afternoon Jacob had a play date with his friends, Katie & Race. That night we went to my parents for my "birthday" dinner. (When I was younger my mom lied about my birthday so I could go to private school for Kindergarten so my family thinks it's funny growing up I didn't know when my real birthday was Fake birthday: August 21 or real birthday: September 21...so every year on my "fake birthday" they give me a cake and dinner...weird I know.) So we ordered Big Humphrey's and had some birthday cake.

On Saturday Primrose had an open house. We headed over there around 11:00 a.m. and met with Jacob's teachers and played on the moonwalks. After that we headed over to Pasadena Honda so Ruben could get oil to change his motorcycle's oil. Some guys at his work started a motorcycles club and they were having their 1st meeting that night. In a few weeks they will be escorting a solider coming home from Iraq. I think Ruben is very proud to be apart of something like that & I am very proud of him.

Today was Jacob's first official day of Pre-K. He wore his uniform today...which he picked out himself. I cried passing an elementary school...seeing those kids walking in made me realize Jacob will start there next year. Then I cried when we got to his school. I am such a baby! Today Ruben also starts his night classes. He will be going Monday, Wednesday and Thursday...back to our normal routine.
