This past weekend Tyler’s family came into town to drop off his stepbrother for college. We  had a wonderful time hiking to the Timpanogas caves and going out to eat with them. Jack ate his first J-Dawgs and loved it! Yesterday we went to dinner and a baseball game in honor of my 23rd birthday. I think I’ve been to three baseball games on my birthday in the past seven years. Maybe it’s because my birthday falls around Father’s Day and baseball season?

Tyler got me a wonderful set of pots & pans for my birthday! I love, love, love them and even though we are moving next friday (!!) I already busted them out to use.

He also got me the Typestaches poster I wanted so badly! (Does he have good taste or what?) It looks even better in person and I am so so excited to hang it in our new apartment.

My sister Courtney knows how much I love to cook and got me the Our Best Bites cookbook. I’m excited to use it. The best part about the organization of the cookbook is all the beautiful pictures and the “rollover ingredients” list. When you buy cilantro, for instance, it lists it as a rollover and you can look up other recipes that use that same ingredient so you don’t waste that week. Genius.

Here are some scenes from the weekend:
