Long overdue Father's Day Weekend post (recipe included)!

I realize this post (like the last post) is about something that happened approximately a month ago - but this weekend deserves it's own post, and who needs a topical blog anyway?  Details, people, details... 

On Saturday, we went over to Bubba and Deborah's house and put Bailey in the pool for the FIRST time - she loved it.  Our apartment cardboard box is actually right next to the complex pool, but we wanted to save Bailey's first pool trip for Bubba and Deborah's!  We planned it at the last minute, so unfortunately Deborah couldn't join us, but I'm sure we'll do it again soon with everyone there....


Look at that face!  I think she's excited...


Sweet little waterbug.


Hanging with Bubba!

Then, on Sunday, Bailey and I got up early and let Scott sleep in.  B was sweet enough to play and entertain herself while I made Scott his first Father's day breakfast!


Nothing says summer like fresh fruit salad!  


We also had this egg, sausage, hashbrown, and cheese casserole.  Sorry about the picture - it wasn't that pretty to start with, but I forgot to take one until it was almost halfway gone. 

Anyway, this is a great recipe that you can make the night before and throw in the oven in the morning.  Very minimal work involved here, and that's what I'm all about.  Here's the recipe (from my friend and sweet new mama Suzanne Tuck!):

1 can cresent rolls
1 cup frozen hash browns
1 cup cooked sausage
1 cup shredded cheese
5 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Press cresent rolls onto ungreased 10 inch pan. Place hash browns, sausage and cheese on top. Mix eggs, milk, salt, pepper. Pour over casserole. Bake at 350 for 30 mins.

(Like Suzanne, I don't necessarily get very specific on the 1 cup stuff - I just throw in what looks good and it turns out well every time!) 

After breakfast, we went and walked on the Greenline, ate lunch at Cheffie's, stopped in to see Bubba again, and then went to get a good sushi dinner (Bailey stuck to yogurt and cheese): 


How cute is this picture? It may be another of my all-time favorites.  I love the coordinating outfits!

There is, however, an off-topic and kind of creepy story that goes along with this dinner that I have to share.  We ate at Sekisui midtown, and sat at one of the small tables set up on a bench that runs across the back of the restaurant.  Well, these tables are pretty close together, and when we sat down, the guy at the next table made some small talk about Bailey.  Asked how old she was, said she was cute, normal stuff, nothing obviously creepy.  During dinner, Bailey was being her normal, charming self - babbling, smiling, and clapping, etc. - when, without warning and definitely without asking permission, the guy who had made the small talk took out his iPhone and starts taking a bunch of pictures of her. 

It was very obvious what he was doing - he was sitting approximately one foot away from me, both Scott and I could hear the "shutter" sound iPhones make when they take pictures, and he was aiming his phone straight at her.  No one at his table (he was eating with 2 girls) mentioned it, and Scott and I just gave each other "whaaaaa?" faces and sat there, obviously a little confused and uncomfortable.  After about 30-45 seconds, he finally put his phone away. 

After some covert texting about the situation and weirdness that had just occurred, Scott and I decided to ignore it and move on, but then about 10 minutes later the creeper guy started doing it AGAIN!  By this point, Bailey had begun to get a little antsy in her high chair, so she and Scott were playing with a cloth napkin, and Scott kind of tried to use it as a shield to block the guy's pictures.  The guy was unfazed by the obvious awkwardness, and still attempted to take several more pictures before putting his phone away. 

I mean, I know I think Bailey is one of the cutest babies on the entire planet and everyone else agrees (at least to my face) but was this at all normal?  Has anyone else had anything like this happen?  We ignored it - but we were definitely uncomfortable and took some pictures of HIM just in case.  But, like the semi normal people we are, we took pictures of him in the stealth manner you would EXPECT someone to use when taking pictures of a stranger.  It was so weird - even typing this up has made me feel kind of weird about it all over again.

Anyway, then we came back home, and Reilly and Bailey helped Scott play with his new iPad, which was his 3rd anniversary/first Father's Day present (you can't see it, but the engraving says "happy first father's day, love, bailey"):



Then, we had fudge pie - I definitely will post the recipe for this pie, but it is so freaking good that it deserves its own post - yummmmmmm!: 


Next few planned posts include Bailey's 9 (and 8 - oops, bad mommy!) month post, as well as our 4th of July weekend pictures - I'll try to get to that soon! 

Happy Monday!
