Fantastic Birthday Weekend!

You can read about it here, here, here, and here.

All the friends that could make it, converging in New York = more fun than can be explained.

Some Karaoke ridiculousness...





Eating yummy food!









And I'll post some forbidden video....hahaha







I have the best friends and family in the world!!!! Thanks for coming!!!

Mid-summer catch-up

(This times 100 = the number of peaches that were canned)

Where does the time go? Although this summer hasn't been much of a summer weather-wise, it's still flown by nonetheless. And I've managed to fill it with fun times, great people, and of course awesome food. Well here are a few photos to hold you over (in no particular order because I'm sick and don't feel like messing with blogger.)

This was the day of Roxy's graduation in May. I was so happy to be able to spend the day celebrating her! (and we got to dress up AND eat at Alice's Tea Cup).

I also got to attend Emily and Dave's wedding. It was a super dreamy event.Me and Wendy at the wedding.

Spending time with family! It was so great having the girl's come with Lexi and Tariq. The city was amazing to them and it was great to see it through their eyes.

Celebrating Regine's birthday at Dinosaur Barbeque!

More family time with Lexi and her friend Sandra.

My garden...still growing out of control!

Making strawberry jam from the strawberries that we picked...Too good.

Celebrating Loide's birthday in DC! Sooo much fun.

Spending time with Keysia, Danette, and Gloria in DC the same weekend. This is also the weekend Gloria decides to fill us in on her news of being pregnant with twins! I guess she decided she couldn't hide it anymore...:)

4th of July BBQ at Sonya's. It was perfect.

Celebrating my dear husband's birthday!

Well, those are all the photos I had, but it doesn't include: riding my bike around Brooklyn, working at the CSA and figuring out how to cook Kohlrabi and other strange veggies we get from our farmer, peach picking and then canning the peaches.
Oh wait, just found the peach pictures, so I'll post them below. It was ridiculously hot, but so satisfying and worth it. (I think.)

I might be obsessed

I think if my voice were tolerable, I might have pursued a singing career...ok, probably not, I should just be grateful that my friends like me for who I am and they aren't offended by me singing off key...I guess I'll never be the karaoke superstar that I am in my dreams.

Completely feeling the groove.

The entire Karaoke gang. How classic that Clark and Atticus were such good sports. By the end we had to fight them for the mics! They were pros.

At one point both Atticus and Clark started crying...was our singing that bad?

Just jammin to a little Kanye or was it Eminem?

Oh, the laughs we had! Amberli come back so we can sing, just one more hour.

KARAOKE!!

No, seriously probably one of my top ten nights of all time. Why is karaoke always hilarious?

Michelle and Kijuana

My solo debut...

Sara and Kijuana
Food, friends, fun, and karoke!

I know Michelle and Kijuana are going to kill me for posting these, but at least I will have died laughing....so funny....

Harvey Faircloth

So, I'm a little late in blogging about this, but better late than never, eh?

Two lovely ladies that I know (and their very talented friend) have created this wonderful new clothing line called Harvey Faircloth.

I know you will find them as beautiful as I do! Please see all these links below...

Talk about talent. They were also featured in WWD, which is like the coolest for all things retail/fashion related. I'm so impressed and excited for them!! And here they are in their line.

Aren't they great!?!

Soon to be available in: Milkmade in Venice, Calif.; Elsa Arms in Providence, R.I., and Cabana in Dallas.

So it turns out, I'm not such a good blogger after all. I'm kind of bored of it. Does anyone else feel the same? I'm sorta considering ending this blog and starting a new one, but don't worry, I'll keep you posted.
Otherwise life has been busy, but good. My darling Cathy came to visit. We of course, had an awesome time!
We went out on the town on Saturday night...tons of fun!
The best part about this picture is that she was genuinely so excited about her hot chocolate and then I ended up drinking it...go figure?

Colorado

Colorado was so much fun. This picture basically sums up what we did all day...
Read here and here if you want to read about it. All I can really say is that Kelly and Dave were the best hosts ever - wasn't I supposed to come to help THEM?!

Here are a few additional pictures. I miss you guys already!
Fun seeing the twins and Chad!We circled New York before landing, I was a bit bored - so here's Long Island for you.
