Memorial Day Weekend.

I finally got to enjoy a holiday weekend! Working in the hospitality and event industry, that doesn't happen often. But making the schedule for all of the employees does have its perks. 

Here's how it was enjoyed..

On Saturday, we had a couple of friends over to Cameron's parents' pool. 

Thank you, Kathryn, for the picture. :)

Lane's first time in the pool!

After the pool, I went and helped set up for a Sip n See that I co-hosted for Kate and Grant's brand new baby, Taylor! It was so fun celebrating her, especially since she is the only girl in our group of friends' babies! 

The boy mom's. 

Before I knew it, I (voluntarily) had a baby strapped to me! 

Lane hung out like this for about 30 minutes before he fell asleep.

Spent Sunday out at Morris Island

Monday, it was back to work. 

Weekend: Supper Club, Cousin's 21st Bday, + Lots of Pool Time!

I'm so glad I have the day off of work today although I did do a lot of relaxing by the pool this weekend. Being in the sun all day is tiring!

Friday night we hosted supper club at our house. The menu consisted of things that could be made ahead of time (Cameron's smart thinking, I always try to do things that are too complicated) - pork tenderloin, California cole slaw, Cameron's mom's brown rice recipe and my sister's chocolate chip cheesecake recipe. Oh, and beergarita's for everyone!

After dinner and a few rounds of Catchphrase, we got a wild hair and wanted to go bowling. Got to the bowling alley, the bar was already closed and the lanes closed in 30 minutes. Bummer! We didn't want to go home yet, so we decided to go out in the Avondale area for a bit. First stop was The Roost but it was pretty low key and we were all about to fall asleep. So we decided to walk across the street to Voodoo, where they always have good music playing. Let's just say good times were had by all. :)

Tip: (clean) socks can be used in the absence of koozies. :)

First thing Saturday, I met my sister, mom, Cameron's SIL and his nieces at the bridal shop so that my sister could get measured for her bridesmaid dress and Kaylin (junior bridesmand) could find a dress! More on that later! After lunch with the SIL and nieces, we headed to the pool with Christina & Justin and some...others. That night Cameron and I went to Summerville to celebrate my cousin's 21st birthday! It consisted of hijacking my aunt's FB statuses, lots of laughs, and a poll to determine if the dog's feet smelled like Dorito's or a vacuum cleaner. And if any of you are friends with me on FB and saw a disturbing post from me - sorry, that was my aunt trying to get back at me. :)

Birthday girl!

funny story behind this pic, but we'll have to save that for another day

On Sunday, we went back out to the pool with Emily, David, Caroline & Andy. Followed by the usual Sunday summer dinner at Maria's. :)

After Caroline and I spent the morning looking for the perfect bachelorette shoes and lunch at Olympik, I am finally home and relaxing on the couch..in between loads of laundry. We're also eating dinner at Leaf tonight for a friend's birthday and I am super pumped! I've heard it's really good!
