Charity, Relaxing and Soft Food

This weekend was filled with a charity event, relaxing and plenty of soft food.

Saturday
Our friend Kristin (Tom and Karen's daughter) is involved with the Scottsdale 20/30 Club.  This club puts on charity events throughout the year and on Saturday night they held their annual Viva Las Vegas event in downtown Scottsdale.  Andy went to this event last year while I was in WI for my bridal shower, but we both got to go this year.  We purchased our tickets last week and went with Tom, Karen, Mike and AJ.  They had a silent auction, live band, food tastings and of course an open bar.  All proceeds from the evening went to a charity.

Sunday
This was a great day of getting things done and just relaxing. One thing I was unable to do was get up early and run the mountain due to the open bar from the night before.  Oh well, I still go a workout in, but instead I had to do a boring DVD.  I also got in the pool for the first time this year.  It was a tad on the cold side, but once I got in it wasn't so bad.  After lounging around and working out I walked into Andy taking a nap as well.  It wasn't just Andy though as he was joined by Izzy and Captain.  I couldn't resist taking a picture and including it in the blog.  I know I am going to pay for this.

Super Cute!  Izzy, Andy and Captain taking a nap on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

I also continued on the soft food diet as I ended the weekend with chicken and dumplings.  I did make this one other time about 6 years ago, but was not a huge fan of it because it reminded me of soup...everything put together in a pot.  As you readers know I am not a fan of soup; however, I may be slowly converting...maybe!  This time around I found it to be very tasty!  The bonus is that I finally got to use the dutch oven we received from our wedding.
