Weekend Wrap Up

It's Tuesday and I'm just now getting to this post!
We had a great weekend! My godmother, Donna came to town and met Camp for the very first time! We had so much fun visiting with her. And can you believe that I did not take ONE picture???? I had all intentions of getting a picture of the three of us and I don't know what I was thinking!!
On Saturday we went to Thomasville and ate a very tasty lunch at Jonah's Fish and Grits. I highly recommend it. My mom and Donna got Shrimp and Grits and I got a tasty chicken sandwich with a fried green tomato on top. We even got dessert....a pumpkin cheesecake topped with cinnamon pecans! Perfection!!
On Sunday we hit up an Open House, just for fun and then shopped around town.
Donna hears me talk about Cake Shop cupcakes all of the time so she told my mom that she wanted to try some for herself! I stopped by the Cake Shop on Friday and got a medley of cupcakes.....for some reason I was able to take a picture of that!!


Saturday morning, I went to Adam's cousin Ginny's baby shower. Her sweet baby boy, Nate, is due in December.












Ginny with Nate's grandmothers!

And because I just realized that this post contains more pictures of cupcakes than my own child.....here are a few cute pictures of the sweetest boy of all!

Happy Tuesday!
We had plans to head to the pumpkin patch today and come home to watch It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, but there's a 100% chance of rain today. Lets hope it clears up enough for a quick trip and a few pictures!

Cool Dude

As I was rinsing the black eyed peas out of Camp's hair, I decided to give him a new 'do.






"I'm bad to the bone!"

With a Dream and My Cardigan....

I just got back from the best girls weekend with these two girls. It was good for my soul. I laughed until I cried, ate tons of wonderful food, and learned the correct lyrics to all the hit songs on the radio. We went to Seacrest Beach.....in between Rosemary & Seaside.

We stayed in this precious house.


We arrived in Seacrest on Friday afternoon and the weather was absolutely gorgeous! We spent the afternoon enjoying the beautiful house and eachothers company. (and having a little too much fun with my camera and the automatic timer....I'll spare you most of those pictures!)
We made our way to Seaside and ate dinner at The Great Southern Cafe. It was extremely tasty. After dinner, we walked around Seaside and about froze to death. It was so breezy and cold! We stopped off at a cupcake joint for dessert and then headed home.



On Saturday we spent most of the day in Rosemary Beach....walking around picking out our favorite houses. We ate lunch at Wild Olives and it was fabulouso!

Beth's dream house.....APPROVED!


Mary's dream house.
I just realized that I never picked my dream house out! I guess I'll just stay in Mary's or Beth's guest house.

After Rosemary we headed back to Seaside to do a little shopping and sightseeing. We stopped off at Bud & Alley's Pizza Bar to watch the UF/Arkansas game. I made it clear that I could care less about watching the stinky Gator game and it was no secret that I was excited that the Gators were actually losing!!


But the Gator Girls got their way and we watched the rest of the game....


The Gators pulled off another win.....barely....but I told the girls to watch out come Thanksgiving weekend.




We worked up quite an appetite and decided to eat dinner at Bud & Alley's.
"A lovely cheese pizza just for me....."



After a long day, we headed back to the beach house and had a mini spa session with Beth's new sugar scrub from Pish Posh Patchouli's.

What a WONDERFUL weekend with two WONDERFUL girls. It was the epitome of a girls weekend and it was much needed. Thank you Meyer family for loaning us your gorgeous home for the weekend!

Who's Growing Bigger?

Camp is!!


His first tooth has finally popped up! We were all anxiously awaiting the first tooth, but also enjoying the precious toothless grin while it lasted.
I'm glad that I can blame his crabbiness on teething. He was a little testy the past two weeks and once the tooth popped through, he was back to his sweet self. You still can't really see the tooth, but you can definitely feel it.
Wow, what a week of exciting milestones!!

We Have a Walker!

Camp is officially walking! He's been letting go of furniture and taking a few steps these past few days, but today he's been walking over the entire house all by himself! It's so crazy to see the little buddy toddling around.

Wonderful Weekend

We've had such a great weekend!
Friday night we headed on over to Lollie and Popsie's house for a fall cookout. The weather wasn't very fallish, but we sure had a fun time!




Camp spent the night with Lollie and Popsie on Friday night so I could have a girls morning out on Saturday.
Mary and I hit up Holly Days, Miss Mandy's, and a tasty lunch....just the two of us. It was quite lovely. I enjoyed browsing and eating my lunch at my own pace. :)
I think Lollie and Popsie had as much fun as I did. They said Camp was such a good boy!


Saturday evening, Adam and I put Camp to bed and we sat down to watch the FSU/Georgia Tech game. We had steaks, baked potatoes, and a salad planned for dinner, but ate too much of our new favorite fun food, Buffalo Chicken Dip, to even think about making a huge dinner.
We were up late watching the Noles BARELY lose the game. It was an exciting game and we still love our Seminoles! We should have planned for Camp to spend the night with Lollie and Popsie again last night.....7:45 came way too early this morning! :)

Today we hung around the house and then went up to Cairo to eat a yummy lunch at Seminole Wind. We plan on grilling the steaks tonight and watching our two favorite shows on TV....Desperate Housewives and Mad Men.

I love weekends!!

Hope your weekend was WONDERFUL too!!!

Swings & A Fun Recipe

Camp and I headed out to the park today. I've been so looking forward to making this an every day occurance, but with 1000% humidity and record breaking heat for this time of year, I just can't get excited about it. Call me crazy.


Camp being silly...
We had fun though and Camp sure loves to swing!

Sweet boy!!




At Camp's birthday party EVERY SINGLE PERSON commented on how tasty the sausage stars were and most asked for the recipe! They were mighty tasty.
They are the perfect "fun food" if you ask me!
My mom brought them and shared the recipe with me.....Enjoy!


Sausage Stars
2 c. (1 lb.) cooked crumbled sausage
1 1/2 c. grated sharp Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 c. grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 c. prepared ranch dressing
1 (2.25 oz.) can sliced ripe black olives
1/2 c. chopped red pepper (roasted red peppers in the jar are ok too)
1 pkg. fresh or frozen won ton wrappers (or egg rolls wrappers cut in 4ths)

Blot sausage dry with paper towels and combine with Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, salad dressing, olives and red pepper.
Heat oven to 350*
Lightly grease a mini muffin tin and press 1 wrapper in each cup.
Bake 5 minutes until golden.
Remove from tins, place on baking sheet and fill with sausage mixture.
Bake 5-7 minutes at or until bubbly.
Makes 4 to 5 dozen.

On the Go

I was reprimanded today by Mama Byrd.....she told me that I need to update the blog ASAP. I told her that I have an extremely adventurous little boy on my hands these days and when he's awake, I can't do anything but keep my eyes on him!


On Sunday we headed to the baseball fields to watch TCC play a scrimmage game. This was Camp's first sporting event. He had a blast and was very entertained. There weren't many people in the stands and I was worried he would start making a lot of noise, but he was such a good boy!
Camp's doing a great job learning to walk. Every night Adam and I will sit at opposite ends of Camp's room and have him walk back and forth between us. He loooooves it because we always give him a big cheer!
Adam and I are grilling chicken wings tonight and I've made chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting (from the new Junior League of Tallahassee cookbook A Thyme to Celebrate) for dessert!
If you'd like to have the recipe for the peanut butter frosting, you can order a cookbook from me! :)

Be back soon with some tasty "fun food" recipes....not from the JLT cookbook!
HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

'Round Here

We've been busy living life in the Gunter household. Camp woke up on Tuesday with a low grade fever, we're thinking it was from his shots. He's also been a bit stuffy, but of course it hasn't slowed him down any!
I packed up all of Camp's bottles yesterday....snif, snif! He's drinking a sippy cup of milk in the morning now. I do have to admit that it was pretty sad, but it made for a lot more room in our cabinets! :)






Camp's great Aunt Melody got these shoes for him. They squeak when he walks and Camp loves them!






One of Camp's favorite fruits is blueberries. I usually buy frozen blueberries and defrost them just a bit in the microwave. They make a HUGE mess....he gets blueberry juice under his finger nails, in his hair, and all over his clothes! Today we had blueberries splattered on the dining room walls!


Our weekend plans include a cookout for Matt McGill's birthday and hopefully watching FSU BEAT Boston College.
Have a great weekend!
