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!

Back to School Party #2

The dental school parties continue! Back-to-school time is worthy of a series of celebrations, apparently. Last night we attended party #2 in downtown Memphis.

There was a pool. One might say this was a 'pool party.' But, I opted out of swimwear and stuck to the plan of pool-side socializing!

There was the (always fun) corn hole set up.

These boys can play for hours!

A view of the party from up above. We were right off Beale, and on the other side we could see the lovely Mississippi River.

As a form of hazing, I suppose, they asked all the D1s (freshmen) to line up. They asked a series of dental-related questions and they were to step forward for True, stay back for False.

Poor guys, they've only been in school like 2 weeks!!

This is my beautiful, gorgeous, supermodel cousin, Brooke. She just moved to Memphis with her sweet guy, Josh (who is a D1), and I'm so excited!! We are the same age and I just am thrilled to have her close by. We're looking forward to seeing each other a lot more!

And my Ashley. I introduced you to her in my last party post. We were lucky to see each other 5 times a year, and now that she's in Memphis, I've seen her 5 times in 2 weeks, yay!

Cool/crazy thing is Ashley and Brooke live across the street from each other on Mud Island. And now they're buds. I'm a friend match-maker, or at least like to think I am!

Dr. Daniel Holsinger with Keith. He loves being featured on the blog! It's all for you, Daniel. It's all for you.

Heaven help me, but there's another party tomorrow night. This time, it's a cocktail thing. Back-to-school has never been so good!
