Weekend Happenings

I feel like it has been so long since Kyle has been able to enjoy a weekend! We wanted to make the most of it and we definitely did.

Friday night we headed out to an early dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant, it was nice to just relax and enjoy each others company.

Saturday morning was spent baking and cooking for Kyle's work BBQ. I have to say it is a pretty funny concept getting military intelligence soldiers together, it is such an interesting group of nerds haha. I always look forward to an opportunity to contribute something and this was mine:

Strawberry lemonade cupcakes, s'mores cupcakes, and hot artichoke and spinach dip. Everyone seemed to enjoy them and we came home with no leftovers, thank goodness!


The rest of the night was spent relaxing and watching WSU beat UCLA. Woo!

Sunday we headed up to Alexandria for a morning of errand running. We stopped at Cracker Barrel for breakfast, then it was off to Target, Old Navy, and finally Sam's Club. I was able to pick up some new running items at Old Navy, thanks to a pretty rad sale. 

Afterwards we decided to take Emmy to her very first pumpkin patch. We have a really cute one about 10 minutes from our house and it was perfect. We did the hayride so we could pick our own pumpkins from the patch. We even saw the race horses that the farm breeds and also where they harvest crawfish. E slept during the whole hayride but was wide-eyed the rest of the time. 




We had the best time and it was so fun to make these memories for her since she won't remember them. 

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

  4. Always a good sign when there are no leftovers. I love spinach artichoke dip. That sounds really good right now! Pumpkin patch memories are fun! We never missed a year in CA. I love looking at the pictures from each year now that they are older.

  6. Your little pumpkin looks so adorable amongst all the other pumpkins! It's a huge plus if you can manage not to come home with any leftovers! That must mean that everything you made was a huge hit!

  7. That spinach artichoke dip looks delish! I didn't realize that Kyle was MI. I don't know what I thought he was, but I feel like I'm meeting more and more people these days who are. Stephen and I have discussed him changing his MOS (who knows what will happen) but MI is one that always gets kicked around. Sounds like you had a great weekend!

  9. Your Emersyn girl is adorable. She may not remember the pumpkin patch trip but you will and she'll enjoy the photos later on! Glad you had a good weekend together and the smores cupcakes sound delicious. Maybe I should make those soon! I love smores but rarely get to eat them now. Happy week!
