Happy Friday!!!

I hope Mable likes the lake as much as we do!

Esperanza Bonanza

Last night was interesting. I was having a bad day and wasn’t feeling like cooking so Jared and I set out to find something “new” to eat for dinner. I don’t know about ya’ll but whenever Jared and I are driving we always think of new places to eat and make a mental note of it however when the time comes to actually try out the new places we can never remember the restaturants. So we set out on Poplar heading east and ended up at “Humdingers”. Let me just say it was AMAZING. We got the Piri Piri shrimp as an appetizer and it was YUMMY. Jared got the 3 Taco Combo and I got the Greek salad. Everything was great. Humdingers is definitely going to be added to my list of Favorites!

While we’re eating Jimmy’s boss calls and invites him to a BBQ Fest in West Memphis. So we decided what the heck let’s go. We ran home let Mable out, changed and were on our way. Little did we know this “BBQ Fest” was the Esperanza Bonanza! It was like a mini Mid South Fair with a BBQ competition on the side. The only thing I will say is that there was lots of good people watching. Mullets everywhere! I now know that the teenage population of Marion Arkansas keeps Holister in business and I did spot the most interesting Kate Goselin Mullet! I didn’t get my camera out quick enough but let’s just say there were blond spikes and a little mullet ponytail. I just wonder what her hairdresser was thinking when she did that to that poor woman! I felt very classy last night! Ha!

The people we were going to see were a client of Jared’s. They were so nice. They had a blue grass band playing and dirty underwear hanging from the ceiling! (It was staged…I hope!) We ate crawfish and the boys drank some keg beer. All in all it was a fun night! Went to bed a little late and am guzzling coffee as I type! Now I can mark attending the Marion Arkansas Esperanza Bonanza off my bucket list!

Here are a few pics from the night:


The crawfish pile. Not sure if I'll eat them again. It was alot of work!


Jimmy, Jared's Boss and the Crawfish.


The AWESOME Blue Grass Band

It wouldn't be a blog post without some pictures of Sweet Mable. She's 15 weeks old today and weighs a little over 30 lbs. She started puppy school last week and is definitely the teacher's pet. She is very "advanced"! Jared and I are so proud.


This Mable and Mommy snoozing on the living room floor. When she is really tired she snuggles so good!


HELLO EVERYONE!!

Random...

Mable had a date with Daddy today. They went to Chick-Fil-A, visited Mommy at Work, went to the park and played in the clovers. Now she is on her way to get her 12 week shots. I'm really bummed I can't be there but I know she's in good hands.

This is her drinking her "water" after they left the park. I love that Jared and I have iPhones! I get little happies like this all the time and it makes the work day go by quicker! Isn't she the cutest thing!



Happy Friday Everyone!


P.s. I can't believe she is already 12 weeks old and weighed 21.5lbs this past Monday!

Tuesday's Thoughts

* I'm a huge blog slacker. I guess I was just that upset about our loss to Ole Miss in the NIT... Just Kidding, maybe not. We have just been super busy!

*Mable has been sick with "tummy" issues so that's why I'm home now and blogging. Let's just say she has the BEST DAD in the world because I know I would have thrown up if I had to clean up what he cleaned up

* The Vet says she's okay but she can't eat until tonight..Poor Pitiful Mable (She's passed out on the couch next to me now. Oh the life of a Spoiled Rotten Puppy!)

* Needless to say I am sore from all the cleaning and disinfecting I did last night!

* Shark Steam Mops ROCK!!!

*I'm meeting up with all the bridesmaids in McKenleigh's wedding tonight to discuss shower stuff. So excited for her! They also have a contract on their first house in St. Louis! So happy for her and Michael.

* I'm running the Nashville Half-Marathon in 11 days and I have really slacked on Training. Right now my goal is to finish and not pass out! Keep your fingers crossed!

* I made the best breakfast ever this morning! Eggo Whole Grain Waffles, Vanilla Oikos Greek Yogurt, Cinnamon Apples and a sprinkle of Granola...YUMMY! What should I eat for Lunch?

* I think I'm going to start a "Wedding Wednesday" post. I never really blogged about my wedding, rehearsal dinner or showers so I guess I'll start tomorrow!

Later!

On My Way to See the Tigers Play!

That’s right, at 3 p.m. I’m headed to Oxford to watch the Tigers take on Ole Miss! The game is officially SOLD OUT! I cannot wait. Hopefully we’ll pull out a win! Mable is having a babysitter while we are gone. Jared’s Cousin Melissa is coming over after school and watching her. Mable is so excited!

Last night we took Mable to Harbor Town. We had some things to pick up from the old apartment. While Jared took down the drapes I headed out for a 3 mile jog. The weather yesterday was AWESOME! There were so many people at the park. After we loaded up the car we took Mable out to play. We ran into two guys. One had a South African Mastiff and the other had an English Mastiff. The S.A. Mastiff weighed 80lbs and was only 6 months old! The other guy wasn’t sure of his dog’s weight but he said that he was averaging 3-5lb weight gain a WEEK! Holy Moly! Mable just sat in my arms and stared at the two dogs playing. I can’t believe my little Mable will be that big someday! This is her playing on our old coffee table. She loves to get underneath stuff. She better enjoy it no because she won't be able to fit under there forever!



All that playing wore her out!





She ran and played and wore herself out! After the park we headed to Miss Cordelia’s. We wanted to introduce Mable to our favorite “restaurant” on the Island. She loved it! She drew a lot of attention from people walking by. This is completely understandable since she is SOOOO CUTE! Well I better get back to work since I’m leaving early.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!

How Bout Them Tigers!

Last Night's game was nothing short of amazing! I think it might have been one of my favorite Tiger games of ALL time! I know we didn't make it to the NCAA tournament but last night I couldn't have been more proud of my boys in BLUE!

The game was close the entire time. You could feel the excitement in the Forum! Everyone was on their feet and cheering the whole game! Wesley Witherspoon is the real hero of the game. He is the reason Jared and I are headed to Oxford tomorrow to watch them take on Ole Miss! His last minute shot to win the game was clutch! I've never seen so many Tiger Fans jumping, screaming and cheering! It rocked my face off! Here are some pictures from the game last night. I did get a pic of the scoreboard but I haven't downloaded it yet.





On another wonderful note. Mable slept in her kennel from midnight til 6:30 a.m. when we had to drag her butt out of bed. I love it! Hopefully she got her sleeping genes from her Momma! Jared thinks I'm narcoleptic but I beg to differ. I just really enjoy my sleep!

Happy Wednesday!

Happy St. Patty’s Day Everyone. This is going to be short and sweet! Last night Jared’s parents had us over for dinner and also to introduce Mable to Pacey, their dog. We had homemade burgers and white beans. Not a huge dam of white beans but the burger was AWESOME! Mable loved Pacey but Pacey was a little unsure of her new relative.

I’m so excited because we have tickets for tonight’s Tiger Game. I’ll be sporting my green Tiger shirt! Mable also got a Tiger shirt! You can see it in the picture above. Here are some more pics of my beautiful baby Girl!!!

Aren't her rolls adorable?

This was taken when she got home from her Grandparent's House last night. She was wore out!


GO TIGERS GO!
