Just Catchin' Up

Life's been a bit foggy lately.
So any attempt at blogging has fallen on the back burner...
But, even in a fog there are bright spots
and I wanted to give those bright spots their earned place
in my blogging timeline!!

Here's a hint for my 1st (and littlest) bright spot:
her name starts with an R and she weighs about 11 pounds...
No, it's not your imagination...
she IS the cutest baby you've ever seen

Playing dress up at Rachael & Matt's
birthday barbeque (8/25/12)

Babysitting in September

Hangin' with the girls at Panera..
I'm gonna have to give myself a shout-out for making
her that freaking adorable headband she's rocking!!

Another visit to Rachael & Ro-bee

I mean...stop it kid. 
You're killing me.
Good luck ever telling her 'no' Rachael....


Going swimming for the last time this summer...
(8/28/12)

Too cool

Double bright spots!!
I think she's gonna fit in just right....


And the cherry on top....
I happened to catch this sweet girls
first laughs on video!!
Melt my heart!!

Bright spot #2:
Family time at my mom & dad's
Kelly wrestling petting the dogs

mamacita...aka...the animal hoarder



Decided to try our luck at fishing



Of course lil country bumpkin caught one...
here's what I caught:
thought I had a big one on the line...
just a bunch of lake moss...sigh





And then we found a stray dog...
 and being the offspring of an animal hoarder we obviously
threw it in our car.....


Bright spot #3:
Beth & Alicia's 'Taste of Kansas City'
A two woman food tour.
Some, but not all of our stops are occurring
before our shifts on nights that we work.
It's as delicious as it sounds...
The Art of Pizza in the KC crossroads
(9/17/12)

The pizza was delish but the garlic knots we had as 
an appetizer nearly did me in...
I was burping garlic for like 24 hours...TMI I know...
we've decided we'll go back but skip the garlic knots.



We made a fun afternoon out of ordering
Leo's St. Louis style pizza and making an
obscene amount of girly foo-foo drinks...
this 'Taste' was extra special cause one of my 
other bright spots joined us!!

(9/21/12)

Once the pizza had settled, we hopped in the 
car and headed to The Landing in Liberty to
have some of their fried pickles
(you should probably know that we're fried pickle connoisseurs)

I've been sucking at taking pictures so here's 
a comprehensive list of our conquered restaurants;
-The Peanut (cheese fries)
-Rico's Tacos (ah-mazing 1.00 tacos)
-The Art of Pizza
-Leo's Pizza
-The Landing (fried pickles)


Bright spot #4:
Plaza Art fair with my best friend.
I love going to the plaza art fair.
It's just one of those things that I have to do 
in order for it to feel like fall has arrived.
I only took one picture, but the evening
was perfect and we followed it up with 
some yummy Thai food at Lulu's.
sweet little Ro had fallen asleep by the time
we thought to take a picture. 
Still can't believe we took your BABY with us to the plaza
art fair this year, Rach!! So surreal!

Bright spot #5:
Little sis moves into her own house!!


Last weekend Kelly was finally able to move into her
new home!
After a few set backs and having her closing date 
postponed twice, she was beyond ready to get those keys.
I'm super excited for her. 
I know how great it feels to buy your first home.
Selfish big sister is trying to get over the fact that she
moved father away from  me (30 minutes versus 10),
but I suppose I should just be grateful that we live in the
same state and that I don't have to book a flight to go see her.
I'm sure we'll still have our fair share of
ridiculous times together...
did I mention that we're conjoined?
...hence the reason I'm having separation anxiety!!

oh, and then there was the time that we couldn't 
finish all our sushi rolls at the all you can eat sushi bar...

(all you can eat = no doggy bags)
So we just had to make due...
the sushi was just too good to leave behind...
BAHAHA...I die.


I love you all, little bright spots!!
Thank you for filling my days with big laughs,
good food, long talks and great memories.
