Hello! Welcome to Keeping Up with the Joneses. Thanks for stopping by! We're a young couple living in the East Arkansas/Memphis area otherwise known as The Delta, with a love for family, friends, faith and food.

We believe that some of the best memories are created at home around the dinner table, and when entertaining those you love. This little blog is where I share recipes, wine, our home and our life. Enjoy! -Kendall

What You'll Find:

I love to try new recipes. In fact, I rarely make the same thing twice. I'm a bona-fide cookbook collector, Pinterest addict and magazine aficionado. On the blog, you'll see what I've got cooking.

I love wine, y'all, so from time to time I feature bottles I've loved. Crafts and decorating our little house are passions of mine, so you may see some of that. Thanks for stopping by!

Live at the Garden & The Oxford Square

On Friday night, we went to Live at the Garden in Memphis. We were lucky enough to be able to sit at the cs2 table, because our agency is a sponsor. So, it was 5 young couples from work and we had the best time! I had never been before, but it's a really neat summer concert series. We got to see Sister Hazel and Train and they were both very good!!
The section in front of the stage is full of at least 100 tables; everyone brings their own decorations, snacks and coolers. The section behind is the grassy lawn and there were tons of people back there with blankets and chairs. The weather was great so it made for a perfect night!

At the last minute, we all rounded up a few things for our table. I brought the flowers and some snacks, Anne brought candles and napkins, Lisa and Kristen brought wine....so it turned out pretty cute. But, there were some other really impressive tables, too! These folks go all out!

Throwin' our 'M's up with some of my fave ladies from work! We have all become really close friends and have formed the "Friday Lunch Bunch" and lots of girls from work always go (in fact it's an open invitation if you're female). It's a blast! But, somehow it was coined "The Mean Girls Lunch" by Eric. We think he's just jealous 'cuz it's for girls only...

I was not looking at the right camera. I was lookin' at my Keith!

Saturday, we headed down to Oxford, Mississippi to the campus of Ole Miss for the wedding of our friends, Lauren Tucker and Chip Trammell. Chip is in Keith's dental school class and Lauren is in the class above - they're both gonna be dentists! How cute! Anyway, they're Ole Miss grads so it was a very cool wedding right on the square downtown.




The Groom's cake was set up like a tent from The Grove- so neat!




The handsome groom and his lovely bride!

We love weddings!

Kayla and I are happy to have Lauren officially in the wives club!

Our feet were worn out. No more dancing. And, please no more walking :)





Sunday, we drove around Oxford. I had never been to the Rebel's campus, but I was very impressed!! Now, nothing can compare to my love for Fayetteville and the Arkansas Razorbacks. But it is fun to see another SEC campus!



I HAD to take a picture of the Tridelt house, of course. And Lauren was a delta, too!

...and the Kappa Sig house...

The stadium where the Rebs play. Ain't got nuttin' on Razorback stadium!

The Grove. Now this IS very cool!

I think this is Ole Miss' version of Old Main at Arkansas.

All in all, a lovely wedding at a lovely town!

Congrats to Lauren and Chip and thanks for allowing us to be a part of your special day! Can't wait for you to get back into town so we can all grill out :)
