Fantastic Weekend.

Well, it's already Sunday evening...which means that once again, our weekend is about over...and that makes me sad. But, we had a fantastic weekend. Due to the stormy weather yesterday, we slept in, stayed in our pajamas most of the day, deep cleaned our house, and eventually followed through with our usual Saturday night fun and made it to our favorite restaurant...Ted's (although I only eat the chips, salsa, homemade flour tortillas, and one cheese enchilada on a flour tortilla, no onions, with cheese sauce on top, please!...best mexican food hands down). Then we were surprised by some of my family members who were driving through OK on their way back to Kansas. This morning we, again, were able to sleep in until 8:15am (thanks, Rylie). We visited a new church (trying to find the church that we feel best in), shopped at Wal-Mart, and then made our way back home to get ready for some dear friends of ours to stop by with their little one, Bailey! During our trip to Wal-Mart, I realized two new things: 1) why does Jell-O make so many different choices of pudding??? This drives me crazy. I get very apprehensive when it comes time to selecting "the right" pudding...instant, cook and serve, fat free, sugar free, reduced calorie...why??? People like me need ONE choice! Because...after getting a new recipe from my aunt and having an intense craving for butterfinger pie (I'm guessing that's the name?), I was excited to make my new dessert for our visitors. I didn't realize just how much went into making this pie...or it's possible that I would have made something different...like my tasty peanut butter pie. Anyway...I noticed that the mixture was a little watery and quickly called my aunt to see how long it was supposed to take to "set-up." After she told me it only took 30 minutes, I knew that I must have done something wrong. And after inspecting the box of pudding I bought, I realized that I had purchased "cook and serve" instead of "instant." And NO, I didn't cook the pudding first. So...needless to say, my craving for butterfinger pie was not satisfied. Maybe next weekend?! 2) There is a sound effect to EVERYTHING I do now...in hopes of keeping my precious baby entertained. I find myself "whooping", "chirping", "babbling", "ticking"...it doesn't matter where I'm at or who I'm in front of. Nothing else matters but seeing a bright smile on Rylie's face!!! Well, I better get going. Brothers and Sisters is on in an hour. I'll leave you with a picture of me and Rylie with our friends, April (mommy) and Bailey (baby):
