Weekend with the Saathoffs

March 26th was Julianne's (our niece) 8th birthday. We usually can't make it down because we have to make the trek to C.C. shortly after for Easter. Luckily my parents decided to spend Easter in Dallas, so Chris, his sister, Misty, Shamrock and I decided to head to Portland to spend the weekend with the Saathoff gang.

Saturday started with a trip to the softball field to watch Tyler and McKenzie show us their terrific T-ball skills:

McKenzie about to make her way to home plate!

Tyler rounding 3rd to score a run, too!

After the game, we were off to the house to get ready for Julianne's birthday party. We went to see "How to Train Your Dragon" with some of Julianne's closest friends. After the movie, we ate cookie cake and watched Jules open all of her gifts:

The birthday girl!

Chris with our silly nephew, Tyler.

Later that night, we joined my parents at a local restaurant where my Uncle Horacio and Aunt Mary Alice offer karaoke. After a night of singing the night away, it was back to Chris' sister's home.

We had a great time with Jamie, Matt and the kids (and Misty, too!)! We don't get to spend as much time with them as we would like, but when we do, we always have a ball.

Sunday we were back on the road to Dallas. We made a quick stop in Austin to meet Ryan at Hula Hut for dinner. A great way to end an action-packed weekend full of family, friends and fun! :)
