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!

Dental Prom, Round 2

Last night, we partied at the annual GV Black Formal for UT Dental School. That may be the official name of the event, but everybody calls it DENTAL PROM! Woohoo!! Yep, prom doesn't die after you're 17 :)

We had a lot of fun at last year's prom, so I was excited about round 2, and the excuse to get dressed up!

Here are the pics:

We asked Keith's Mom to snap these pictures of us before heading out.
My dress was a great repeat from Lauren's wedding. Thanks for picking out such awesome bridesmaid dresses for us!

I really wanted to wear my hair up and out of the way, so I tried it about 20 times but never could get it to hold firm, so Keith's Mom had to help me with the 'architecture' - thanks, Ms Penny!!!

Oh, and Keith, you look pretty adorable yourself ;)

Taylor is a D1, and he was a dancing machine! And hilarious.

He also inspired my husband to show more chest.

It was hot in there, granted.
