Baseball, Bistro, and UFOs

It's been a crazy week and I've been meaning to update ya'll on the happenings of life!  Wednesday of this week Jordan and I went to a Rough Rider's game with our good friends, Nathan and Mallory.  They are awesome friends and it's a BLAST to hang out with them!  We all had such a fun time at the game and, of course, we won!


Here is an impromptu picture of the 4 of us.  Crazy kids.

We had pretty great seats!  Then again, there aren't many bad seats in that stadium!  This picture is with no zoom folks!

Nathan, Mallory, Me, and Jordan

As in previous post, I told you all about our new (new to us at least) fire pit.  I thought I would share this picture since we finally had a chance to use it. We figured out why it was free.  It left UFO traces in our backyard!  It must have heated up a little too hot and scorched the grass.  Never the less, we really love it and are happy to have it!  For any of you who might be on the fence about getting a fire pit, I strongly suggest it!

Thursday we had a light chore to do, but we were excited to do my parents a small favor.  (Jordan protests the use of the word "light" chore.  It was actually pretty heavy.)  This is an iron bistro bar that we picked up for my Mom.  She is brilliant when it comes to Craigslist purchases.  (Does anyone else think of Harry Potter when they use the word "brilliant"? Accio Bistro Bar!)  Again, back on track - She never fails to find the best deals and fixes up each item so that it looks brand new!  I'll give you guys an update when she gets it fixed up and finds it a home.  The plan is to paint it black.  

That's all I've got for you guys today!  Have a good one!

Cheese it Up

Sometimes I feel like Jordan and I live for the weekends.  We are very blessed to have each other, jobs that we both enjoy, an adorable pup, and a pretty house, so we definitely  enjoy the week days.  It's just that the weekends are when the action happens!  I don't know if we rest more during the week or the weekends! Last weekend was no exception.  We managed to strike the right balance of being productive while still having some leisure time.  Those are my favorite kind of weekends because that's a really tough balance to get! We recently planted some new flowers around our house which was a big chore.  I always get the spring bug this time of year (not the sickness).  I can't help it!  I don't have any sort of green thumb so I suppose this spring tradition will continue for years to come.  In the short time that we've had these pretty flowers, we've spent a lot more time outside.  The nice weather helps too!   Here's the run down of our new pl

July 4th with Family

Happy July 4th...or 14th.  It's taken me a while to get around to sharing pictures from our Independence Day celebration but I've got 30+ pictures of family food and fun to share! There is no other holiday quite like the 4th of July in America!  Everyone takes off work to enjoy delicious food (and cold drinks), BBQ, and the faint smell of explosives in the air --- those bombs bursting in air! This year was even sweeter than previous years because my brother, Andy, and his family flew to Texas for a long visit!  I was so thrilled to see them all! Top Left: I do love a little flare!  I got a pedicure before the holiday and decided to go with a patriotic theme.  The design looks almost like a Wonder Woman theme which is equally awesome. Top Right: My brother, Scott, with his pup Lucy.  She is laser focused on the lake smells in this picture. Bottom Left: Me, my niece, Kenley, and Lucy!  Lucy sure has grown so much from when she was a puppy (see her Chri

Doodles and Drawings

I've continued to have fun with my Tombow calligraphy markers that I talked about on my Tombow Watercolor post.  Pinterest is rich with unique and interesting art!  I've found that it's extremely relaxing to sit down and doodle with my markers while sipping quality wine and listening to some music.  It makes for a messy kitchen table but I feel very chill and in my own element! The only new piece of art I have to share is this "hustle" poster I made for a friend.  I began by playing with the texture of watercolor paper (verses usually using "media" paper).  The water and markers react completely different depending on the surface and paper.  I ended up with this woodland-ish doodle. Leaves are probably not the most interesting focus, but I had fun playing with the different shades of greens and browns along with the various textures of leaves.  I have so many shades of markers so it was a great opportunity to use them all!  For fun, I even
