Matt and I had a fun-filled Labor Day Weekend. We kicked off Saturday with Sam's 3rd Birthday (this wil get its own post!) and after racing cars (theme was Cars 2) we hopped in our own car and drove to Houston. This was Mark's first "holiday weekend" to host and he did a fabulous job! I am so proud of him and all that he has accomplished as he enters the real world. It is so fun to know he is only a quick 3.5 hours away and we can make weekend trips to see each other!

| We got to Houston just in time for kickoff of the LSU game. Appropriately enough Mark made homemade Jambalaya, homemade black bean salsa and Shelby made icecream cookie sandwiches! Food is never less that amazing when Mark is cooking! |
Sunday morning Shelby made Matt's day by cooking cheese grits! After a hearty breakfast we geared up and headed to Mark's country club to play 18. His course is really challenging - skinny fairways and way too many obstacles (ha!) - but still fun.

| Mark's Country Club - gorgeous! |
 |
| Hard to tell - but my ball is in front of Marks....meaning I outdrove him! |
 |
| And again! |
 |
| One of many sandtraps that I played in! |
After golf and cleanup we headed over to Brian's for "our usual meal" and the SMU game. Someone forgot to tell SMU that we were playing as we were completely destroyed by Baylor - but fun to see our team on TV non-the-less.
 |
| Steaks, grilled veggies, lobster tail, potatoes and asparagus |
 |
| Monday morning before we hit the road to come home Mark had a bakery he wanted to test out! Great pastries! |
We got home with enough time to sit for about 30 minutes and then head over to Chuck and Traceys for a Monday evening BBQ. The only picture I snapped was of this little adorable pickpocketer!!!! We ended dinner with game night and called it a weekend!

| Max helping me organize my wallet! |
So now summer is over and the stores have Fall clothes out - even though it is still 100+ degrees!
