S&E Couples Shower!

It's officially Fall!  Our schedule always sneaks up on me this time of year when Fall activities begin to fill up our calendar.  I want to share one exciting event from two weekends ago.  We went to the lake to take part in a couples shower for Scott and Elizabeth!  Everything turned out great and we had a fantastic visit with S&E, Mom and Dad, E's parents, and other friends and family.  Leading up to the shower I was freakin' excited to give them our gift (we'll get to that in a moment)!

Top Left: S&E Love birds!
Top Right: Ribs, brisket and SO MUCH delicious food!
Bottom: Scott and Dad

Then it was present time!


Top Left: Jordan and I had custom t-shirts made for them!  I think E mentioned this idea several months back and I couldn't resist!  We got Scott a scarlet red shirt (for TTU) with "Mr." on the front and Elizabeth a purple shirt (for TCU) with "Mrs." on the front!  Both shirts have their (almost) last name and the number 16 for the year of their wedding!  TTU plays TCU on 10/29 so brace yourself!
Bottom Left and Right: We also bought each of them a Wasing Air Lounger which was super cool!  Scott aired his up right away and got comfortable!  You can find them on Amazon HERE!


We had fun playing a few games to celebrate S&E!  They've been trying to narrow down the wine selection so we did a double blind taste test!  They covered the labels of each bottle and E had an adorable score card for everyone to rank the wines!  If I'm remembering correctly, I think Rex-Goliath won!
Bottom Left:  Tony played the role of game show host extremely well and gave us all a good laugh as we played the newly wed game!  

We had some fun with the dogs the following morning.  Sophie (Mom's dog) is usually the aggressive pup but for some reason Abby was extremely feisty around Sadie!  Sadie was a sweet Golden Doodle and reminded me so much of Abby, just larger!

I couldn't resist buying a pumpkin!  I know, it's pretty early, but cool weather has arrived and 'tis the season!

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

Image
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
