The Suze's Pretties

This weekend I took the boys to Dallas for quick trip to surprise The Suze for her birthday! I was able to snap a few pics for y'all in between eating Bubba's fried chicken and mashed potatoes (I seriously are it 4 times and was only there two days). <div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg02MsCS1sDdZ65wbny6HVozrN8-E_Dyy_FdEJZIWgaWfbNndPwP0KFKZGecKmPfWgng9c55GfAqWVlD7UcbN0T0Nu6jRVt820AyEazJljou9VLoINPKABR1W3A6n1Su_wcjiW0U2g0Y6o/s640/blogger-image-970783979.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg02MsCS1sDdZ65wbny6HVozrN8-E_Dyy_FdEJZIWgaWfbNndPwP0KFKZGecKmPfWgng9c55GfAqWVlD7UcbN0T0Nu6jRVt820AyEazJljou9VLoINPKABR1W3A6n1Su_wcjiW0U2g0Y6o/s640/blogger-image-970783979.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>She had her sofas recovered and had them redo the arms to make them more tuxedo-like rather than the over-sized arms that were so popular when she bought them in the 90s.

HBD to The Suze & A Pretty Dallas House

I picked up our favorite peachy pink roses because I knew she would want me to get myself flowers for her birthday (Of course, she has some flowers and sussies coming her way, I just stumbled on these at the grocery store). That's the kind of wonderful mom she is, one who genuinely delights in her children indulging in her favorite flower. <div><br></div><div>If I were in Dallas to celebrate with her I would probably make her walk down to <a href="http://www.ebby.com/property/32496803/3416-Drexel-Drive-Highland-Park-TX-75205">this house, which is for sale nearby</a>. <br><br>Checking out local real estate is one of our favorite things to do together.  This house pretty much looks like it's made for me (or The Suze). I love Kansas City, but it would be amazing to live down the street from my family (free babysitting and steak!). <br><br>So Mama, for your birthday we'll take a virtual tour through this house together and I won't tell anybody that you insisted on driving. <br><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
