Ode to Ootie!

June 2010-- 5 Girls....

Look how quickly things change! If you look closely, Laura just threw G up in the air with his water wings on. Natalie is letting N bob in the water and Ootie kept baby B in his Bjorn wrap! You may have to click to see clearly! ha!

Jun 2011 5 girls plus 3 baby boys!
Ootie will be a momma to baby Brody this summer!

Wedding Recap!

A few weeks ago I went to Ali's bachelorette night! Ali and I became friends via her fiance who I'd met in college. You can find her blog here.

Now, sister Sarah got to meet Ali too so they came in town for the wedding weekend. Here we are in Leiper's Fork dining and going through the old shops. Can't go to a wedding without your toes done! Yep, the boys got pedicures too!
Our infamous JC pose outside of the church!
beautiful cake, beautiful bride!

I ate Shrimp and Grits--a first for me and I LOVED it!
Then the 4 of us came home and crashed on the couch and watched a scary movie. Some watched, some snored.

On Sunday we slept in and went to Chuy's! Ole'! They had amazing raspberry margarita's. Yum! Then we hit an afternoon movie- Hall Pass!
It's funny, but no where near the reviews of Hangover or Wedding Crashers.

These 2 lovebirds are currently still in Costa Rica! I can't wait to see pictures when they return. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and Love Ali and MJ! (if not, happy birthday-hehe)

Saturday Quote

Happy Saturday! Enjoy the weekend!

We can dream, right?

the underwater suite (it's kinda ugly, huh?)

THIS is what you do when you have an excessive amount of moolah! You ride a private elevator 40 feet under the sea to your Poseidon suite made of 4 inch acrylic glass in Fiji. You can scuba in the lagoon, pilot your own Triton submarine, or just enjoy the mile long resort. For $30,000 you can stay two nights under water and 4 nights at the resort. They'll even give you a complimentary PROFESSIONAL photo album documenting your experience. Too bad so sad, alcohol is not provided and neither are spa treatments but they will arrange your pick up from the airport. I'm thinking girls' weekend, maybe? Ha!

A Whole Lotta Random....

Elvis-King of something or other....OMG one of the best desserts EVER! A bunch of us gals got together for Cindo De Marcho (made up of course, but it's smack in the middle of 2 special birthdays so we celebrated). We went downtown Nashville and dined at Bound'ry which was delish! The peanut butter/banana/chococlate/crunchy goodness was devine! ....next we did the Hustle and found this book. The book is technically postcards with major news or questions using cute animals to throw you off guard! Some were super horrible, but again, who can resist baby rabbit, kittens, puppies, monkeys, etc.

The basement is slowly coming along....

Remember this old door I painted a few weeks ago?
It's now a headboard one of the guest rooms!
...no, it's not done in any of these pictures but you get the idea. I got some quatrefoil/pattern bedding too!
The room colors are white, gray and light yellow. The room is done and ready for Sarah and Joe to sleep in on Friday! I'm just too lazy to take final pictures. L -A-Z-Y....
My sister sent me a super cute bird necklace in the mail today! Love it, love birds, nuff said!
Speaking of birds ( I found another bird plate for my kitchen last week) I love all the colors!

Also, the not so smart Bed Bath and Beyond employee might have accidentally clicked Happy Birthday for the card inside a mailed wedding gift instead of Wishing you a Lifetime of Happiness and Love. So....Ali, get ready for a little funny. I'm really excited to see if the guy was that "click happy" he messed up. Uh oh!
