dream cookies.

Husband, yesterday I finally got around to making your cloud cookies. And they were pretty stinkin' good. Even better using this precious, handmade cookie cutter and this recipe. You are working so hard on your thesis and I figured you needed a little boost. How about you come home on the early side so we can go to SanFran?

Pup pup will be packing his bags and heading to "Grandmommy Camp" this weekend. I can tell he is pumped. This morning he has already rolled in the dirt, tracked it in the {clean} house, and gotten out every.single.toy. he owns and put them by my suitcase. I have no doubt he will come back 4 Sonic corndogs heavier, exhausted, and whining when we pick him up to take him come. He is so spoiled over there.

Happy San Francisco Weekend! {finally}

Imogen Heap - Propeller Seeds from Imogen Heap on Vimeo.

Pretty stinkin' sure this is going to be my wake up song from now on. The colors, ideas, creativity, and videography are hands down amazing.

{propeller seeds are seeds that look like they have "propellers" which causes them to spin as they fall during wind dispersal. because of this design, they can be carried far away from the parent plant. thanks horticulture class.}

chalk love.

Because sometimes things are just better said when they are written with colorful chalk on the sidewalk.

Thankful for you, husband.

ketchup.

This post is entitled ketchup because growing up, it was one of those words I just mistook for other words. I would say "ketchup" instead of "catch up" or " Water Burger" instead of "What-a-burger". I had quite a few of those. Well we are playing "ketchup" through pictures today. While listening to Colbie Caillat's new CD. It's all about getting inspired.

Let's be honest, my in-loves have great legs. All of them. Fingers crossed our kiddos get their legs and my teeth ((except I found out I have my first CAVITY today. Tragic)) Anyways, I have been attempting to get back in shape. Best advice I have about getting back in shape...DON'T get out of if. Holy moly, Texas heat is not kind to the out-of-shapers. Oh, and the fact that my husband is a super-athlete and has signed up for the NYC IRONMAN next summer does not help.

I believe the conversation we had before I got this GASH on my leg went something like this.

Me: (I am on the couch reading The Help {BUY THIS!}
Colin: (walks past in his biking onesie) Well, I'm going on a bike ride, dear (cue the long pause and the feeling of eyes burning into me).
Me: Is this an invitation?
Colin: Uhhh, YEAH.
ME: SUPER DUPER.

Hence the biking injury. I havent quite mastered the pedals just yet. And yes, blood was flowing and I was not allowed to go back and lick my wounds. I think he forgets I am a girl sometimes. But I love it.

Speaking of in-loves, we had breakfast at Revival Market in Houston with them. Check it out if you are in the area. Good coffee and fresh, local food.

We have also enjoyed being a part of some very special days of some very special friends getting married! We are big fans of marriage if you don't already know, so weddings are especially exciting for us. Cannot believe it has been over a YEAR! Time flies when you are having F-U-N!

Colin even matched Meredith's sweet momma with their stylish glasses.

And another on their actual day. We love you Mike and Meredith DeFrees!

So thankful to see this friend at another wedding. Can you believe that we have known each other for half of our lives?! I LOVE THIS!

Have fun playing "ketchup" with whatever you need to!

sans microwaves.

Husband, thank you for being silly and violently shaking the "popcorn pan" for me. You make me smile. Stove Pop Popcorn, thanks for being an option since we have not had popcorn in over a year due to our lack of a microwave. Fried hair and steam burn, you were just causalities for the fun-ness of our popcorn making. I'll remember not to lean over the stove or place my hand right over the hole to make sure its warming up. Genius.

proof.

Couldn't wait to share. Proof that my wonderful husband is an engineer.
