When Tim's away...

I eat sushi!

I'm not sure why it always turns out that way. It's not like that's the only time I can have it, Tim enjoys sushi too. But for some reason whenever he is away on business, I always order sushi take-out from Nobu. This time I got a little crazy and let the chef decide my order for me. I figure, I have enjoyed just about every piece of sushi I have ever tried so I thought I would let the chef surprise me with some delicious fish. I was not disappointed. The roll was their house special California Roll and the nigiri was tuna, salmon, I believe octopus, masago (I think this was my favorite) and I'm not sure about the other white fish, maybe a yellowfin. All of that plus a side of edamame... it was delish!

I'm a big sap and I miss my Tim when he is away. I always have trouble sleeping and this time I even caught a nasty cold while he was away. It sucks being sick without him around to baby me. HA :)

I suppose sushi is just my comfort food and there is just something about eating it in my pj's with the dog laying next to me. I love it!

Happy Mother's Day

Tim and I have the BEST mother's on the planet. Thanks Mom's for all you do and have done!

To celebrate Mother's Day we had the whole family over for a cook out. The weather was absolutely perfect. We ate, visited, played a little croquet and visited some more. Turned out to be a super fun day. I love our yard but we haven't really used it for much entertaining. It was fun to be able to set up tables and yard games. I can't wait for the next yard party.

Here are the homemade mini cupcakes I made. They were a bit dense but must not have tasted too bad, there were only a couple left at the end of the day.

The dad's, sitting on the side lines watching the riveting croquet match.

So...Angela and I apparently have no idea how to play croquet. We set up the course like miniature golf and never heard the end of it. Everyone had their own rules so we just made it up as we went. The best part was Barley stealing our balls. Maybe we should have played horse shoes or bocce ball instead. :) There's always next time.


Here's my momma! What a wonderful woman. Love you momma! :)
Barley pretty much sums up the weekend here. We were pooped. After working in the yard for nearly 6 hrs Saturday to hosting Sunday, we were ready to kick our feet up and take it easy. But no mater how tired and sore we are, we had a GREAT weekend. Can't wait to do it all over again.
