and then we golfed

My cousin Brian got married to the most fun beautiful woman this past weekend. Everything was gorgeous and perfect for their day. Fortunately for us, they had it at La Caille so we had the opportunity to golf, chase peacocks, and dance. For more details you can visit my mothers blog here.

May is a busy month!! I have my dads, sarahs, and seths birthday. Mothers day. Weddings. And overall springtime madness. Staying busy is good though when you're a basket case like me.

If you were wondering my cat Coop, who was recently very sick, is doing much better now. He is eating on his own, drinking on his own, slowly gaining weight, and is no longer yellow.

Here he is, putting out the vibe.

Sarah is finally here for the summer. My sister Camille has been visiting for the past few weeks and I never want her to go home. Katie was here too for the weddings and I just wish they could stay forever. I miss having my sweet siblings here to party with me. I'll take what I can get and live it up every single day.

Also I've been baking and getting crafty lately. I have a food blog and i'm going to incorporate my crafts into it... we'll see how that goes.

x's and o's.

never slow down

(most attractive photo ever)

Happy Birthday Daddy! I love you. You are the biggest source of laughter and joy in my life.

word to the wise

Once upon a time we were trying to take a cute family photo while dining at Chili's and Olivia wouldn't look at the camera so I said, "Look Olivia! Its a sparkly pink Unicorn!" and she got really excited and then very quickly disappointed.

Word to the wise. Don't promise sparkly pink mythical creatures to little girls if you can't deliver.

happy birthday KC

I miss you.

new fav

My new favorite thing to eat is mashed sweet potatoes. I'd rather have them than russet or baby red or yukon gold.

Last night I sauteed garlic, spinach, and crimini mushrooms and mashed them into my taters.

Divine. Try it.

peeing fire

The other day I stayed home sick from work.
Some of you might think I lead a pretty exciting life but i'm here to show you that I do not.
Instead of relaxing and napping, I got bored. Real bored.



So I took all the books off all the bookshelves and organized them by category and returned them to the shelf in a way that pleases me. No one else will ever notice that I did this but I delight in it.




I also found the patchouli incense i've been tearing the apartment apart for. Why do I hide things in books?




And then I loved my children.

HAMMERPANTS

After days and days of extreme stress and worry and 25 packages of wet food and wasted cans of tuna and kitty antibiotics that smell like bubble gum and forcing water down Coops throat and giving him fresh Tilapia and Alaskan Salmon and holding him and letting him scratch anything he wants....

... He ate the dry food on his own today. He feels heavier. Acts feisty and lively.


LONG LIVE HAMMER PANTS
