Jennifer's Shower and American Idol Finale at Skimo's

So I'm a week late with this post, but last Sunday Jessica, Katie, Jennifer, Amy, Andrea and I celebrated Emma coming in July..we all can't wait to meet her. Jennifer had a Sip and See The Nursery and we had a fun time..the nursery is adorable! 

Wednesday night, Shannon, Andrea and I went to watch the American Idol finale at Skimo's on Houston Levee. It s a great place and they agreed to show American Idol on one of their flat screens AND turn the volume up. I think most people wanted to watch it anyway. Tony would have loved it because where we sat, we could see the NBA game AND American Idol(see the photo below). Too bad he was outta town. Andrea and Shannon were good sports and came out even though they had not really been watching this season. And yes, I was shocked that Kris won, but it's all good, Adam will still get to do his thing somewhere. Both finalists are very talented! And if you havent been to Skimo's and you don't live in Cordova, it is worth the drive! 

Shower for Grady

Saturday night we went to a shower for Grady, Brenda and Jared's little boy who will be here in early May. We played one game and Tony won part of it! He guessed Jared's tummy measurements correctly! Good Job Tony..such a great game player :) And in case you were wondering Jared won the bigger belly contest with Brenda and was 2 whole sheets bigger! ;) Way to go Jared! 

No More Caspian for now..

Had a fun weekend!! Friday night Tony and I had the Oprah/Trump (Mar-a-Lago) burger over at Randy and Diane's. They were yummy, couldnt stay up too late, bc Andrea, Kelly, Belinda and I ran a 5k to benefit Friends for Life early the next morning. I had done a Hula for their Volunteer night and they seemed to be a great organization. It was a fun 5k, sorry no pictures, it poured rain right as we crossed the finish line and caught our breath. I did have one of my best times in the 31:5oish range. Andrea still beat me, but atleast I have someone to chase! We are doing one, maybe two this weekend and I'll try to take pics then. Saturday night we went to a fun shower for Katie and Michael. They have a lot of fun people in their wedding party that threw them a super-fun shower! I will add pictures later, because I do have some funny ones from that night.  Sunday we finally went and saw Batman. It was good, but not worth all the hype in my opinion. Maybe that's just not my genre of movie or something. Heath Ledger was AMAZING as the Joker and does deserve some sort of award, not sure an Oscar, but maybe a nomination, its still early...  Later that night we ate at Osaka, my favorite sushi spot in Memphis, with Julie and Greg.  Julie is starting a cake making company called Cake Couture, be on the lookout for that, when I get more info, I"ll blog about it. Today, Winter and I had lunch at Caspian Restaurant for the last time. They are closing down in hopes of reopening as a hookah lounge in the next month or so, keep your fingers crossed bc I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't eat koobideh or boneless chicken anymore in Memphis!!!!! We were the last ones in there...ever..well until they open back up as a Hookah Bar...
