Juicy Lucy Night!!

Yesterday was so beautiful, and we FINALLY got to hang out in Mom's new backyard. Last fall she spent a lot of time working on it and having a big fireplace and pergola installed. We've just been waiting for the perfect day to grill some good food!

How do you make Juicy Lucy's you ask? Well....you make two thin hamburger patties, and put some cheese (any kind) in between them. Smash the two patties together to make one kinda larger hamburger, and season how you want.

Have a professional chef, or 3, grill them just perfect!

When they are finished, cheese should ooze out a little at a time while you eat and it's the most AMAZING burger you will ever have!

Thanks!

Lately...

Well, I have majorly slacked in updating my life on here! I could blame it on being busy, but that would be a lie, for the most part! I have just been enjoying watching other people update their lives on here instead.

I do have some great news to share.................................

Eric got a new job! He started last week at a company called Baker Group, and things are great so far! He's still trading, like he was before, but the company he's with now has a lot more to offer him. The opportunities to trade new things, move up, and use better technology, are all reasons that he is glad he made the move! I am very happy for him!

Other than that, we have been taking it pretty easy. One other thing to note: Im going to make my blog private again, so if you want to continue reading, you'll need to comment on here, so I invite you when I make it private. :) And then once it's private, it never shows that you update, even when you do. That's annoying, but I decided that I would rather not have my pictures and info out there for the world to see...just my friends and family! I'll be glad to add anyone who wants to follow!

Have a great Monday!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Celebrating Dad's Birthday at Charlestons

Such a great picture

Reagan was an absolute angel...never made a peep

Hailey's photo Shoot!

She wouldn't pose for anyone, but as soon Kimmy asked, she did whatever I said! She loves me...

She proceeded to tell me she needs money, so I gave her my CC. LOL!

Kisses for Daddy

The best part of the night was when we surprised my Dad with a birthday cake, that the server brought out. He had ordered brownie sundaes, and they brought forks out. And he said "We can't eat brownies and ice cream with forks!" So they brought spoons so as not to spoil the surprise! But when they came around the corner with the cake, he said "I guess we're not having brownies!" He was very surprised and the cake was deeee-licious!

New York, I Love You

Okay, so I heard "New York, I love you" was a horrible movie, but that's the feeling I got when I first got back into the city this past weekend. I went to NYC to see Jess, my future Sis-in-Law, and do a lil shopping! I got in on Thursday, and one of the first things I passed was our old home. The pictures below are of our apartment building on Roosevelt Island. I miss that place...not just b/c it was a really nice building and apartment, but b/c it was the first home that I ever lived in with Eric. It signifies our first home, and our first year of being married. That year was so important to us b/c the only people we had to count on was each other. No family (besides his amazing brother, of course) to make plans with. It was a great and very challenging year! We had a lot of laughs and a ton of memories in our first apartment...

If I could truly point out our actual apt, I would, but it's a little hard. We're basically on the very far right inner corner, on the 3rd floor...APT 323!

The first night I was in town, Jess and I met her best friend Kristin, at "Cello" which is a little wine bar.

We had some wine and great appetizers, but by the end of the night, Jess decided that she could do a better job than the chef! She went into the kitchen to whip us up something special.

The next day, I got to spend the day with one of my very dear friends, Laura, and her beautiful baby girl, Charlotte! I had never met Charlotte, and she was an absolute doll! We ate at "Blockheads," which has amazing burritos, and then went shopping around 86th, for a little bit.

The rest of the afternoon, I spent walking around, shopping a little, but had a great time. When Jess got home from work, we went to dinner, and I tried Turkish food for the first time. The next day, we went shopping at Saks, and pretty much everywhere else in SoHo, Union Square, and all the way up to Bryant Park! It was a great time, and I am so glad I made the trip to spend the quality time with fav Sis-In-Law! It was a blast!

Congrats Mr and Mrs Baker!!

This weekend was all about Jared and Tina! Friday night, we went to their rehearsal at Thunderbird Chapel. The chapel was so pretty! After the rehearsal, we headed to Interurban, where we had the rehearsal dinner. It was really good, and a lot of fun hanging out with all their family and friends!

Before we left for dinner, Eric and Jared got put in charge of some girly items!

The morning of the wedding, all the girls went to get pedicures!

Sela (Tina's Mom), Aubrey (bridesmaid), and Micah (J's sister)

My honey, giving his awesome speech!

We had such a great time with everyone, and are so happy that some of our best friends are happily married!

This week, Eric and I head to different edges of the east coast! I'll be in New York City, and he'll be in Puerto Rico! Wish us safe travels and tons of fun!

Paaaaaartaaaaaay!

My favorite little sister....Ok my ONLY little sister has been teaching Zumba, a workout class, for the past few months. I have to say that she has really come out of her shell and shown a totally new side of her! I always knew she was confident and beautiful, but I never knew she had it in her to shake her booty while teaching the class AND be so AWESOME at it!! I have to say that Im a proud sister when I go to her classes. Here's a picture of her teaching "Zumbatomic" which is Zumba for kids. Our gym put on a charity event called a Zumbathon, and raised money for the American Heart Association. Cindy taught 2 songs, plus this demo of Zumbatomic. All the little kids tried so hard to do EXACTLY what she was doing, and she was such a good leader!

In Cindy's words "Ditch the workout...Join the Party!" haha

This past weekend, we also had a wedding shower for Sommer, as well as a going-away party for Liz and Mitch. It was funny how both nights we saw most of the same friends, but it was perfect b/c we don't get to hang out with these friends that much! We had a blast at the shower, then afterwards, headed out to Louie's for EVEN MORE fun!

Lyndsie, Sommer, and Kim

Muah!
