Weekend {Fun}


Friday night Z and I headed over to his friends house to watch the Texas Ranger's play!

On the way there I started the last Shades of Grey book....seriously, tear...

I made this yummy cream cheese dip for our watching party.

If you have never heard of Tastefully Simple check them out. This English Toffee Spread is amazing especially with strawberries and little graham crackers!


Finished product! Yum!


Saturday my Mom hosted a Stella and Dot Trunk show!!


She had that adorable white antique vanity so I got to use it with my display!! So much fun!

Saturday night I cooked Baked Enchilada Dip, the Blue Eyed Brides Bow Tie Fiesta Pasta, and Sopapilla Cheese cake in celebration of Mother's Day!



Me and my sweet Mommy on my wedding day!


Sunday we went to watch the Texas Rangers play at the Ballpark!!

It is "officially" baseball season since I had my first Ballpark hot dog of the season!


Seriously I could eat 10 of these!!!


This is my man Ian Kinsler batting!! He is such a hottie!

Hope you all had a great weekend and enjoyed mother's day!! I got told happy mother's day twice because I was taking a 4 year old to get ice cream! lol I just smiled and said thank you!

{Weekend} Updated With New {Recipes}


Friday Z and I actually did nothing! We had no plans, just us and our dogs! I love those weekends!

I cooked Lemon Butter Shrimp with Italian Seasoning from Pearls, Handcufss and Happy Hour blog!  If you do not follow this blog, do yourself a favor and follow her! Best Recipes ever!

I borrowed this picture from Pearls, Handcuffs and Happy Hour blog since her dinner turned out a lot prettier than mine!


I also finished the 1st Shades of Grey book - y'all even if you are not a reader YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK! I will do a blog post about this but seriously..read.it.


Z and I also started the Mad Men season 1 - okay so maybe we did do a lot Friday night!

Saturday we had a breakfast "date" to Montgomery Street Cafe in Fort Worth.


If you are in Fort Worth and want a good breakfast, you have to eat here! I am such a breakfast person and I have not had a good breakfast out in a while. Its also super duper cheap - Z and I both got huge plates and with tip it was only $16 for the both of us!

Saturday night we celebrated my Mommies birthday!


Suprisingly I did not take one picture all night - I mean who am I!?!?! This was a skater dude who skates around west 7th.

Sunday other than being lazy and cleaning our house, I started book number two of Shades of Grey


Y'all I can not put these books down! Z gets so mad because all I want to do is read and not do anything else!

Sunday I did break away from reading to make my man dinner!

I made Crock Pot Pot Roast Sliders With Creamy Chipotle Sauce from Pearls, Handcuffs, and Happy Hour.

Again I stole her picture because she is a lot better at presentation than I am!

If you are looking for two super easy recipes this week, these two are perfect and both are really yummy! Z and kid approved!

I know I could probably get a really good pair for over $100, however I would like to not spend over $100 on a pair of pants that I will not be wearing all summer long since the temps in Tejas get super duper hot!!


Suggestions needed!!!!!
