My Big Fat Greek Restaurant

YUM!

If you ever get the chance to go, get LOTS of pita bread... and Saganaki (flaming cheese).  The presentation is almost as amazing as it tastes. 

Katlin, Lizzy and me.

Jake, Anthony ( Lizzy's fiance) and Ricky (Katlin's husband).  They both work with Jake.

Jake got SO much food that not only did he enjoy it for dinner that night but he brought the leftovers to work for lunch the next 2 days. 

Eda's New Pals

Sometimes when I make friends... Eda gets friends too!
Here she is with her buddy Landon.  He stopped by last night after he made a trip to the PetSmart by my house. (One of his fish ate the other one.  A sad story, but quite hilarious when he tells it).

Today Eda got really spoiled with a puppy play date.  Meet Bristol (the shepherd) and Barney (the husky in the middle). 

We're a little corny...

My parents with my nephews, Dexter and Dashiell.  It was sure windy in South Dakota this weekend!

+ my sis, Diane

Sista, sista

Coming soon to a theater near you: "Mother of the Corn!"

Laura's Wedding

This weekend I made a quick a trip to South Dakota for my cousin's country wedding.  She was stunning, the ceremony was beautiful, the reception was full of adorable details and fun.

Apples and Oranges...err... Peaches

Our peaches and apples were ready and needed to be picked before the creatures got to them.  We got TONS, and there are still a lot left on our trees!  We don't have a lot of freezer space so we bought a dehydrator and have been busy making dried fruit.  It is so easy and delicious!

Anyone want to stop by for some peach cobbler or apple pie? 

Labor Day Weekend

We had such a wonderful 4 day weekend together!  We saw friends, cooked, did some housework and yardwork, but mostly, we enjoyed just hanging out with each other.

We met some friends at the dog park and came armed with peaches.  We have an abundance to share!

Eda is so tired and soggy after a good trip to the dog park.  I think we went there 3 times this weekend.  Lucky pup!

Love

I love this man more than he loves cheese.

That's a lot, folks.

Brent+Aimee

My brother is getting married in December and last week my mom threw an engagement party for him and his fiance!  We had such a great time celebrating their love and visiting with family from near and far. We had sloppy sandwiches, desserts galore, and one of Brent's favorites, root beer floats!

Brent and Aimee.  Soon to be wed!

Me and my sis.  My mom had adorable aprons for us to wear!

Thai Eats

Jordan is a sweet friend that I met in Georgia. Her and her husband moved to Colorado this week!  I met up with her at Thai Eats because it had rave reviews on Urban Spoon.

There was only one lady working.  She was the owner, waitress, cashier, and AMAZING cook.  She teaches cooking classes, so taking one of her sessions is now on my to-do list.

2012 Summer Olympics

The Olympics have come and GONE already!  How did they fly by so quickly?! We were so into them this year that we didn't rent one Red-box movie during the games. Now that is saying a lot.  One of our favorite things to come out of the Olympics this year was this hilarious "Call Me Maybe" parody. We just might have it memorized and still laugh at the "where you think you're swimmin' Mikey" line.  Yeah we're nerds.

Can't wait to see the winter Olympic Games in a couple years.  Figure Skating anyone?!
