Real Quick Like.

Ok so, somehow, a few weeks blew by, but don't worry. Here's a recap.

I went Orlando for one of my college roommate's wedding. I was able to stay with a friend which is always loads of fun. Friday, we hit up happy hour at this awesome wine bar called TAPS after getting our nails done. From there, we went to Shipyard Brew Pub where I had a lobster flat bread. Saturday, we did some mall shopping and more eating. Matt & Lacy took me to this local place they love called Yellow Dog Eats where I had the Classic Mexican Mutt, though the Memphian in me was oh so tempted to try some of their BBQ. I really should have taken some pictures of all the yummy food. Then we went to Ann's wedding which was set outside on a lake. Her theme for the wedding was Charleston (I believe that's where they got engaged) and I think this venue was spot on. The sunset was gorgeous and so was the open bar. Lacy and I may have gotten in a little trouble with Matt later on but all-in-all it was a good time.

Then I came home and this happened...

...lots of snuggles. I feels good to be missed. She loves my arm pit. It smells like roses.

Then there was Cinco de Mayo, the Grizzlies, and MIM. I have no picture evidence, but drinking, friends, and good times were involved. I promise.

We got cable. Then, the world stopped for a second. I haven't had cable for a little over three years, until last Friday. I could explain but I don't want to ruin a good thing. Any who, cable has reintroduced the Food Network into our lives and on one particular show they made french fries. Yummy, garlic butter french fries. Well, we don't have any potatoes in the house, but we did have some on-the-verge of dying zucchinis, so from this stemmed a brilliant idea. Zucchini Fries. I know I'm not the first to think of this, thank goodness, because I'm a recipe kinda gal, so I took this recipe and used my vintage french fry cutter and made the above. Now, those are not my fries, but mine looked identical. Add a little dipping ranch, and we have a new husband approved, healthy side. Amen.

Tomato Babies.

These little babies are the newest members of the Wells clan. We have three tomato plants, one of which is already producing 'maters. These tomatoes have already sufficiently survived our roller coaster spring weather.

It's festival time my friends, so here's to sunshine and good times, whether it be crawfish, music, beer, or BBQ.

Racing Experience.

Last year for Christmas, Jason and I gifted Dad and Chris a racing experience, so last Saturday we woke up EARLY and headed to Millington to the Memphis Motorsports Park. Jason had drill so he missed out on all the fun. Dad actually drove a race car, while Chris did a ride along with Jeffrey Earnhardt who is Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s cousin, so cool. The girls, plus Jake got to sit on the pit lane wall and watch all the race cars go around. We even got to stand on the outside wall as we were leaving, which may have been the coolest part. It was so loud, you could feel it. The kids loved it so much, that now Chris and Susan are considering going to a real race. I think Jason and I would definitely need to accompany them.

Easter 2012.

Here are few pictures from the Saturday before Easter. I ventured out with my sister's family to our church's first annual Community Easter Egg Hunt. They're not sure exactly how many people came out, but it's estimated that it was around +2000. After the egg hunt, we went to a playground to burn off some of the kiddo's sugar intake. You can't tell in these pictures but poor Jake got a terrible sun burn on his face. Poor little guy.
