Cooking and the Cutest Little Dinner Guests

If you know me, you know I will never be a cook. I learned this while in college and it has been reaffirmed quite often since. Not only do my meals turn out wrong 50 percent of the time, my signature clumsiness carries over into any of my attempts at food preparation. Case in point, we have lived in our new townhouse for 6 months now, and you wouldn't believe the amount of food/things that have spilled all over our hardwood floors. This week I decided to be brave and attempt two dinners for our friends. Spills included sour cream, broccoli, tea, flour and butter. J.R. doesn't know about all of these so if you are reading this babe, you caught me:). Despite my inadequacies as a chef, I have to admit both dinners turned out really well after the fact.

Tuesday we cooked steaks, asparagus and J.R.'s mom's recipes for monkey bread and "yummy potatoes." Jesse and Holly joined us with their adorable son, Lucas, who's pictures have graced this blog many times. It doesn't take long to fall in love with this little man's smile!

Thursday night was baby central at the Dokos house. Holly brought Lucas again, and Triena joined us with Mason. Both ladies' husbands were working out in the field (J.R. and their husbands all work for EXCO), so we had them over for some pork tenderloin, corn on the cob, baked beans and salad. It was neat seeing the two babies together. Both are such easy kids, and it's hard not to smile when these cuties yawn or even smile back at you! No, I don't have baby fever.....yet!:)
