Random Thoughts & Fishing.

Today is rainy and the house is quiet [I'm sure not for long though].

.. that is how I felt at the end of the week..

 [sorry babe- it's not you, it's me]

Today is a great day though. This weekend my 'BFFE' growing up [and current] is in town from Las Vegas with her baby girl. Maddie just loves baby Lily. We miss them so much, I think all of our friends are going to try to go out for a drink tonight.I think the last 5 times we have seen each other either her or I was pregnant, we need to have a little fun.

I have been checking emails and browsing the blogosphere..
 
First I got sucked into this adorable backyard wedding..

..then into these birthday party theme ideas.

I HAVE to share this recipe from Darby, I made it last night- [yes that is where I got the easy asain recipe] ... I followed the soup recipe exactly and I even made the homemade tortillas & chips with it. Super easy.

The girls and I had a playdate yesterday with a couple of girls I went to high school with & their kids. It was a lot of fun, not akward ;]
Morgan [who is also a photographer] had her camera out and got some cute pictures of Maddie & Josie.

{Thanks Morgan- I already printed them out and framed them haha}

I can't believe how much Maddie looks like my husband in these pictures.

The little girl's playroom is coming together great! I can't wait to share it,

 just a couple more things to finish up in there.

Well Josie is up from her nap, I knew the silence wouldn't last that long.

Well I'm back, yes I'm adding this a few hours later, but I have some time to sit and relax before I go out and nothing good is on tv. We ended up going to my husband's friend's house for his birthday. We ate, had a couple drinks and did some fishing. They have a beautiful house with a little fishing pond & horses. We went last year too, it was really nice. The rain held off for most of the afternoon.

This cupcake was definetly Madeleine's favorite part.

The fishing was definetly my husband's favorite part.

[Bry caught 6 fish and I caught 1!]

Watching this sisterly love was definetly my favorite part..

Maddie was teasing and running circles around Josie who was strapped in, but she thought it was hilarious.

We did get rained out though..

I had a couple cute pictures of Maddie from the playdate the other day too.

xo.
