Sunburn, Soar and So not ready to go back to work!

I had a fun and hot but relaxing weekend at the lake with friends and yes we did something wild and crazy and camped in Tents in the last week in July in Oklahoma. Your only in your 20's once, right?

I hadn't water skied in about 11 years! but got up on the first try, yay!

The wonderful guys that cooked our meals and set up and broke down camp for us. This the way to do camping girls!


The girls soaking up the sun! What this weekend was all about: Sun, Fun and Friends

Lost and Found

Well this was some of my excitment last week when Ryan was out of town. Rory and I went for a jog one night and ran across this cute little guy. We made posters and put them up that night in our neighborhood, he stayed the night with us and by the next night we found his home, good thing, too because he was way cute!! Thing was his owner was going to be gone till late at night. So he asked me to "drop" him over the fence into his backyard well this took a little creative thinking and inventing on my part as he has a 10 foot privacy fence so I brought a bucket with me and stood on it while I made this other contraption attached to bungee cords that I lowered the little guy over in. I am sure is quite a sight to see, but now he is safe at home where he belongs.

Forgot to bring my Camera along...

I forgot to take pictures of my weekend but anyway here's the run down. I just love weekends, I know everyone does but no matter how stressful the week I love re-charging over the weekend with food, friends and relaxing fun!

Friday: Our friends Matt and Daicia were in town from Houston, enjoyed dinner with them at hideway pizza then the girls came to my house and we rented The Other Bohlen Girl and the boys went and saw the new Batman movie.

Saturday: My mom came to town and Jen and I took her out to eat at inspirations tea room for lunch to celebrate her birthday. Saturday night Ryan cooked me a wonderful dinner of grilled shrimp, okra and mushrooms. It was yummy!!

Sunday: Went to lunch at Fazoli's with Daicia and Matt and Friends. Enjoyed a long afternoon of a combination of napping and being productive. Sunday Evening went to dinner at Chilli's with friends again and then went to Braums to continue the visiting and the fun.

Happy Birthday at the Ranch

Ryan's family was in town this weekend to celebrate his birthday, we celebrated Ryan-style at this upscale steakhouse. It was sooo good!!

Sweet Suprise

Ryan sent me these beautiful summer flowers to me at work for no real reason this week. It was a sweet suprise!!

Book Club!

We kicked off our book club last week with our first meeting that took place at the melting pot (This was my first fondue restaurant experience, It was everything I hoped it would be!) Not everyone is featured in this picture who is in our book club but this was the planning meeting of sorts. Our first book is "The time travelers wife" which came highly recommended by several friends who read lots. I have now till August 5th to read all 500 pages. I am so excited about this! It will be another great thing to do to relax and excersise my mind while not thinking about work or other stresses. I will try to bring you some book reviews on here as we go through this, we read one book a month and then meet to discuss it.

July 4th 4-day weekend celebartion!

I am still enjoying my 4 day weekend. Here's a rundown of the fun so far. We did our best to celebrate in proper American style by eating excessive amounts of food, sleeping in every day, and helping the economy by buying tons of gas to drive all over the city.

Thursday, White Water with our Nieces and Jen:
Oklahoma City, Ok

Friday day: Pool party and cookout with Friends
Norman, Ok

Friday Night: Fireworks, Music and Fun with Friends
Yukon, OK

Ryan sharing his turkey leg with the dogs.

We sat a little too close this year and experienced the most terrifically terrifying firework display ever! We got rained on by firework debre and at any moment had the real possibility of catching fire but no worries we were right by a pond and could quickly put ourselves out if needed. It was like combining two holidays in one: the traditional 4th of July celebartory colorful treat for your eyes and patriotic music for your ears with the suspence and terror of Holloween!

some of the tons of stuff that was raining on us during the show:

Saturday: Take our nieces to see Wall-E
Edmond, OK

Chloe says to me today "Auntie Heather when are you going to have a baby so we can have some real cousins?" (Aparently Rory isn't cutting it anymore)

We do just love these girls!

Last weekend I made an easy and yummy snack you can google and find a million recipes, seems everyone has a different name for it, it was so good and so easy to make. I enjoyed every last bit of it and loved sharing it with others!
