I took a trip to LA to visit Bush and surprise him for his birthday.
It was definitely fun to hang out on the westcoast for a few days and see Bush. We also got to go see Manny being Manny when he came back from trying to get pregnant at Dodgers Stadium.
Erica took a trip down to Houston for her dad's retirement party.
There have been tons of babies born in Houston in the family so it was good for her to go see all the babies that she hasn't seen in awhile. It was also good to see everyone at the retirement party and spend some time with the fam.
As most of you know, my bro also had his first kid, Mr. Jordan Butler. He's ridiculously cute and hopefully we can see him in person sooner than not.
In the past few months there have also been a lot of chick fil a openings so we have been camping out a lot in different chick fil a parking lots getting tons of chick fil a coupons. It is definitely fun to see the same people every time and it's hilarious that we are like the veterans and regulars after doing them for so long.
One of the biggest things that has happened this summer is that Erica has started up her own business. She is now in the business in making gourmet cupcakes and gifts. She is still at Fluor but this is a side business that we wanted to get started. We had a open house where we had over 300 cupcakes made. Erica's mom even came into town to help bake and decorate. I tried to decorate myself but after they saw that I have no artistic talent, the icing pipe was taken away from me. At the open house we had about 50 people and it was a huge success.
For the past week I have been working exclusively on finishing Erica's website for her business. Be sure to check it out at www.createdby-e.com There you can see all the pictures of all the cupcakes and some of the pictures from the open house.
Hopefully everyone had a great summer and we look forward to talking/seeing everyone soon.
