I know what you're thinking...Ok I don't know what you're thinking, because quite honestly I don't know what I was thinking going to this thing...
But surprisingly...it was pretty fun!!
Mike and I
We've figured out that Cody is the long lost Jonas Brother
This place had the BEST homemade lemonade...Seriously, it was delicious and there was only one guy in the booth; cutting lemons by hand, squeezing them by hand and then shaking it all up! It was impressive...and we can't forget this hottie mchotterson...
We turned around and angels started singing...well, Cody and Mike heard angels...all I saw was this sign...
As you can see, Mike was slightly excited...and Cody had to show off his delish lemonade...
And seriously, who gives away free Copenhagen??? Apparently, the people at the Clute Mosquito Festival...Yep! Look at how escatic I look!! I mean really! It's a damn shame, I don't dip...or chew...or whatever the hell this stuff is...
But THIS stuff...if you ever get the chance to have any of this stuff...GO FOR IT!!!
I know, I know...you're skeptical...but really...Look at how yummy it looks!
I mean, powdered sugar on fried yummines?? Can't be bad!!
And Cody is showing off his awesome straw trick...
ok the REAL reason we attended the Festival...Kevin Fowler
When Mike and I first started dating, he sent me this song,so it has a special place in my heart...(altogether now...Awwwwww)I managed to finagle my way up to the front in time to capture this and I'm glad I did!
And some awesome pictures of Kevin singing...
All in all, I had a SUPER good time and not even one little bug bite!!! (Considering I singlehandley keep OFF in business)
For my first redneck event, I have to say it was a success!! :) Can't wait for next year!!!
Yes folks...I've been formally intorduced to those little buggers(altho I would like to use a much fouler name for these things, I'll refrain...little eyes might be reading??? bah...who am I kidding, only my dad reads the blog..even at that, it's only when I tell him to!!!) called "fire ants"..Yep, fire ants...Now, most of you know that I'm from Vegas...
Being a Vegas girl, I only THOUGHT I had fire ants...My fire ants were big and red and only when you seriously pissed them off, would they come after you...
Well, today after getting some much desired chow mein, I was getting the food out of the car and apparently had stepped RIGHT into a fire ant bed...Apparently,they didn't appreciate that?? (Who knew stepping onto a fire ant was a bad idea??) So imagine this scene: Mike is leaving a voicemail, I have my hands full with Chinese takeout and my right foot is on FIRE (hey, maybe THAT'S why they're called fire ants???) and I start hopping on one foot, crying (yes, I admit, I cried...I'm a girl, I'm allowed!!) STILL holding onto the food. Mike FINALLY realizes why I'm crying and hopping around like a crazy woman and he gets them off.
Ever the photographer, I had to document this first in Texas...my first fire ant bites...
I have a sexy foot...I know...and I need a pedicure...I know that too...
I am currently drowning my foot in Benadryl spray and gel and it looks better...but it's not 100%.
So there you have it folks...my first ant bites...speaking of firsts...I've got first hurricane pics as well..but will save that for another post...
Leave some sympathy for me in the form of blog comments, it'll be mucho appreciated...(since I'm a baby and had to blog about my awesome fireant bites...)
TWO posts BACK to BACK!!! Shocking! I know!! :) But I'm pretty proud of myself...
(Mom and Dad...BRACE yourselves!!) I MADE DINNER!!! I KNOW, right???
I can follow basic recipes, but I HATE (and I repeat HATE cleaning up) but I sucked it up and COOKED!!!
I marinated chicken breasts in a mixture of yogurt, lime and honey. Coated them with crushed Ritz crackers and baked...Some brown rice with some peas mixed in and I've got myself DINNER!! :) No one is dead (yet...) and Mike even said it was pretty good! (I'm pretty sure he wasn't lying...well, hopefully not! :) )
Food photographer I am not - but here is my delicious meal!!
If anyone wants the recipe, holla at me and I'll post it. I pretty much winged it and made it up, so I'm all kindsa excited that I actually wrote down what I did!! :)
Mom and Dad, you can pick your jaw up off the floor!! :)
Next on the agenda, some sort of tequila lime cream sauce for chicken...(thanks Jordan!! BOO!) We'll see what I come up with!!
Blogging before a month is up!! :) You should be oh-so-proud...Anyhow, I just returned from the Northwest Wedding Extravaganza with my super good friend and bicoastoal heterosexual life companion KacyJo...Altho, now that I've moved to Te-jas...we need to figure out what the "Bi-coastal" should be changed to...Any suggestions??
Anyhow, the "extravaganza" was no joke...4 weddings in 10 days with HEINOUS flights in and out of Oregon and ridiculous experiences with TSA both in Houston and Portland...If you really want to know, ask...it's slightly ridiculous...
So I'm blogging one of the weddings...don't ask why I am blogging this one first...just happened that way I guess...
Anyhow, without further ado...Paul and Laura...
You guys are SUPER fun and I know Kacy and I had a blast at your wedding!! (WARNING: PICTURE overload...I guess I'm making up for lost time...but there are a LOT of images...so if you're on dial-up, I apologize!!)
Couple images...love love love how Paul and Laura interacted in front of the camera without any prompting from us!!
Laura and her father walking down to the ceremony...
Some fun images! Paul with the bridesmaids! Big pimpin!! :)
One of the guests REALLLY liked the ribs...
Speaking of ribs...they were DELECTABLE...seriously some of the best ribs i've ever had...
Some details
They met at Applebee's...get it...Apple+Bee...Adorable isn't it??
The rings...They love pool, I figured it would work for em! :) Oh and can you figure out why I chose a 7 and a 1???? :)
First dance!
And of course...the infamous KacyJo herself enjoying the scrumpdiddlyumpcious chocolate cupcake...
ok that's all for now! More blogging to come...Seirously...I'm forreals this time!! :)
