On Golden Pond at the IRT!

We went to see "On Golden Pond" at the Indiana Repertory Theater!
This is of course one of our favorite spots!

First we stopped off at Buca di Beppo for some dinner!
Our server, Bryan, was the best we have had, making great recommendations and graciously serving lemonade in a wine glass!



We had never heard of the play before, but anything at the IRT is sure to be great!




After picking up some drinks, we headed to our mezzanine seats!
We agreed that perhaps the upper seating is better in this theater!


The description of the show promises a heartwarming experience, and it delivered!
As Ethel and Norman return to the familiar summer ritual of their tranquil vacation home on the water, they get a surprise guest in the form of their daughter’s young stepson-to-be. This tender tale paints an honest look at the labors and liveliness of a couple in the midst of their twilight years. This beloved Tony Award winning play reminds us that each moment we receive is a gift we share with those we love.


The rustic cabin set was a perfect setting for a relaxing evening!
We had a great time!

Classic twin night!

Emily's Baby Shower!

  This week we had a great time celebrating the upcoming birth of Emily & Greg's first baby!
Baby Schwindler will be here before we know it!


Emily's baby shower was completely Peter Pan theme and hosted at Ashley's house!
We welcomed everyone to Neverland for an adventure of pixie proportions!
The house was completely transformed and each room was a different Neverland destination.
Peter Pan's world was brought to life for the guests!




Each guest had a formal London tea service setting complete with a
custom favor of tea and cookies to take home!


Before the guests could fly off, they each had to get a sprinkle of pixie dust!
Here we gooooo!


Everyone from young to old was excited to travel along for this celebration!

Mom came all the way from Florida only to turn around and fly all the way to Neverland with us!
She's a soon to be grandma again!!!


And Natalie pulled long hours to make sure every detail was perfect for Emily's special day!
So excited to be an aunt!!!

Even down to the specialty cupcakes and baby banner which were absolutely delicious and beautiful!



And no one will ever forget the amazing diaper "cake" ship complete with Peter Pan cutouts!!!
- Custom by Gilbert designs!


There were guests and gift galore, so much love for this growing child!
Everyone looked on as Emily opened so many wonderful new baby things!




Emily was absolutely glowing!


 Having family all around us has made us so grateful and excited to add one more member!
We cannot wait to meet the newest addition next month!

What a GREAT twin day!

Rachel's Bridal Shower!

We were so happy to celebrate with Rachel at her bridal shower!
Her mother decided to use the theme of R+J carved on a tree to accentuate John Mark's proposal!


Rachel's mother ordered the strawberry cake from the same bakery that will make their wedding cake!
It was so delicious and perfectly decorated with her theme and wedding colors!


The church hall was decorated with burlap and lace!
So country classic!


The Gerber daisy centerpieces accentuated the mason jars!
And of course there were peacock feathers and purple/blue candies!


The gift table featured a burlap "Best Wishes" banner and chalkboard!
The country theme was also brought in with the table cloth!


The afternoon food spread was appetizers and drinks!
It was a perfect set-up for this group!


The guests were asked to submit a date night idea for the couple!
This got a little risque as the older crowd found out these dates would take place after the nuptials!  LOL!


Rachel was so excited to see all the work that her mother put into the shower!
She was awestruck by the cake!


Each place setting featured perfectly coordinated burlap and lace with country mason jars for drinking!
There were also tiny accent beech branch J+R hearts!
Ashley is so excited to be a bridesmaid for Rachel!
She was ecstatic to help with the games and anything else for the bride!
Rachel looked absolutely stunning!
Ashley came up with a he said/ she said game for the shower using lips and mustaches!
Ashley would read a statement made by either Rachel or John Mark, 
and guests would guess which one made the statement using their lips or mustache!

It was pretty comical to see the guessing!
Even the tiniest revelers got into the action!
Then it was time for heartfelt gifts and to hear from Rachel!
We got the happy couple a Keurig to always keep their relationship caffeinated!
She said her thank-yous to everyone and asked for continued prayers and support!
There wasn't a dry eye in the house!
It was so great to be together and watch Rachel's happiness bloom!

Afterwards, we headed to their new home for a tour!
It was great to see how much hard work and thought they are putting into building a home together!
We are so happy for this perfect couple and cannot wait for the wedding!
Great twin night!

Race for the Cure 2015!

We walked in the Race for the Cure 2015 on team Pink, Pray, Cure!
The 24th Annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure started on New York Street on the IUPUI Campus!

After a GREAT breakfast of pumpkin loaf and vanilla lattes (provided by Ashley!), we headed to meet up with the rest of the team!


Millitary Park is always filled with booths, swag, and the Wall of Hope!
It is so inspirational to see the messages from survivors and well wishers!


We had absolutely perfect weather and the race was packed with 18,000 + participants!
It was much more organized this year and felt more relaxed!


We stopped for a couple of selfies at the finish line!
We may have taken a little bit of a short cut this year, but with one of us in the third trimester and the other having been up all night at work, we did really great!


Great pink twin day!

Breakfast at Tiffany's

For a new twin night, we decided to go old school glam!
It was such a stormy day, but that couldn't dampen our good time!

We had shrimp quesadillas at El Meson to start the evening.
The cheery surroundings made us almost forget the hailing weather outside.
We talked of baby Schwindler and getting into the IUPUI Master's program over chips and salsa.


Then it was off to the Studio Movie Grill.
This revamped theatre is really swanky!
The comfy leather seats and call button make service at your seat an added bonus!
Plus they service all types of food and wine!



The seats inside the theaters are comfortable, are accommodating, and are equipped with a personal tray table and a red call button.

We settled in for "Girls Night" and quickly were mesmerized by Audrey Hepburn's charm!
Breakfast at Tiffany's was just the type of movie all girls should see!
And with a price tag of $3/ticket, it was a really cheap date!
Not much changes when it comes to finding yourself and learning to live in a crazy world!


We had a great time and would definitely go back to Studio Movie Grill!
Great twin night!
