Best Birthday Ever

WOW what a weekend! Friday morning my sister's best friend Page calls me and asks if Courtney is in labor. In a panic I call my Mom, and YES she went into the hospital at 2am that morning. After talking to Courtney, she said that it was going to be awhile so there was no rush to get up to San Marcus. Around 2pm Dustin and I left Houston to head to San Marcus, to welcome Ryder into this world. At 8:22pm he was here, only 3 1/2 hours before my birthday. He weighed 8.86 lbs and was 21 inches long! Courtney was starving so Dustin and I went and got her Whataburger, and rushed back to see our new born nephew. He was beautiful! Perfect in every possible way a new baby can be. Around 11pm we left the hospital to head back to Courtney and Charlie's house to tend to their crazy min pin.



The next morning we got up and headed back to the hospital to see the adorable baby boy. He was still as precious as can be, and Courtney looking a lot better after a couple hours of sleep. We held, and kissed all over him for about 3 hours. Dustin then told me it was time to head back to Houston for my birthday festivities. I was sad to leave my new nephew, but excited to start the party. When we got back to Houston we went over to our friends Nathan and Lyndsay's house for BBQ and Aggie football. After watching the Aggies BTHO New Mexico we decided to go bowling. It was a great birthday weekend, and I don't think it could ever be topped!
