The belly is a growin'

This is me at 23 weeks. I definitely don't feel as huge with Baby B (that is what I call her) as I did with Addy. Then I look at this picture and I guess that belly is growing well.

I like being pregnant.

Plans for the weekend

I love weekends! Who doesn't right? Lately it seems like I don't do much on my weekends but for some reason they still fly by. Shane and I just don't have the funds to do all the fun crazy adventures that some people enjoy during these summer months...but that is okay...you make due with what you got right. As long as I get to get out in the fresh air, maybe enjoy a picnic, and most definitely enjoy the summer nights...I am a happy girl. I have learned to enjoy the little things lately.

With that said I do have two things that I am dying to do this weekend.....

Make these!!



Don't these slushies look like the most perfect summer treat??

Another thing that I am dying to do is make these friendship braclets.



Oh yes! I would love to make a bunch. Maybe I will even make one for Shane and make him wear it (yeah right).

One more thing I am going to do with my BFF this weekend is go see Harry Potter! Oh yes we are Harry Potter nerds and I am so excited!

Now please just let this work day end and let tomorrow fly by! Yay for the weekend!

Oh boy camping fun

Here are some pictures from our family camping trip last weekend. We had sooooo much fun! I loved camping with the kids they were both awesome. Addy slept in the tent great.....we all did including the two dogs!! We ended up taking our old dog Izzy with us. She is super old and probably shouldn't go camping anymore but she had a lot of fun I think....the first thing she did was go swimming. Sally our new dog was awesome! Love her! For those of you that don't know we recently had to put our other dog to sleep so it was really hard not having him there camping with us. Dignon was the best camper dog ever! We miss him too much! Anywhos we had a lot of fun and would love to go camping again soon.

Picture overload! Enjoy :)

Summer is not over

this photo has nothing to do with summer. it is just boogie kitty looking out the window.

On Saturday my mom said to me "After the 24th summer is over." And you know what I said to her "SHUT UP mom!" She laughed. I don't think so. We still have August and August is still freaking hot. Summer still. Still plenty of time for camping, hiking and picnics.

Speaking of picnics. Shane and I had a date night on Friday and I packed us a picnic and we headed up Little Cottonwood Canyon and went on hike and enjoyed a wonderful view of the water. I will post some pictures later.

Last night Addy was running around with one flip flop on....because that is what she does. And she fell and hit her little nose on the sidewalk. She got a bloody nose and a scrape. Seriously that little girl gets hurt once a day. My mom is a spaz...I'm a spaz...I fear Addy got the spaz gene. Sad.

Well we are enjoying summer. And no it is NOT over! not matter what my ma says.

How do you like your hot dog??

I have only just recently discovered that I like my hot dogs like the one pictured above. They have to have it all....onions, pickle relish, mustard but no ketchup, I also really like cheese on them. I would way rather have them grilled than boiled. Since I have discovered that I love hot dogs this way I now love hot dogs! So I am curious do you like hot dogs and if so how do you like em? It seems everyone is a little different.

I know I am weird posting about hot dogs but I'm weird so whatever.

Things I can't wait for.....

-Spring!! Oh wait it is spring.....March 20th!

-Summer!!! I want to swim, ride bikes, pretty much never wear shoes, and go CAMPING

-Yard work and gardening. I worked in the yard this weekend and it was so wonderful. I have plans on planting an actual garden this year and I am pretty excited about it.

-Getting a new tattoo. I don't have an appointment scheduled but I am itching for a new one.

-playing outside with my little lady. She already loves it and I want to do it more (um I think that we will not be spending much time in the house this summer....can you tell)

-hopefully going to Las Vegas or somewhere this summer or fall.

That is what I can't wait for.....what about you???

Mini road trip

Yesterday....July 11th.....Shane, Addy, and I took a mini roadtrip to Sunnyside, UT. Where is Sunnyside, UT you ask? Well it is Southeast of Salt Lake. It is about 20 miles past Price. And why did we go to Sunnyside? which is a very small and run down town by the way. Well we went there to see a car show. And I will tell you it was worth the drive. Shane and I both love hot and rat rods and that is all that was there. It was killer!

Here is my list of requirments to have an excellent roadtrip.

-You must eat so much junk food you want to puke when you finally make it to your destination. On my mini trip yesterday I ate peanuts, lemonheads, fruitcrisp bar, banana, and a wendys cheeseburger and fries. On the way back home I ate more lemonheads, gradettos, m&m's, beef jerky (I only allow myself beef jerky on roadtrips so had to have it) and so much ice tea it is ridiculous. I swear I did not want anymore food the rest of the day. Blah!

-You must have fun! No whining about how long it is taking to get there.

-You must enjoy the weird people that live in the smalls towns you stop in. Shane and I get all sorts of weird looks when we go into these small towns. We both have tattoos so they automatically think we are bad news. It is fun!

Since this is about as close as I am getting to a vacation you get a long post. Sorry.

Couple of pictures of the trip......

The 4th!

On the 3rd of July we went and saw fireworks at Granite. It was a lot of fun and Addy did really well. I thought she would be scared but she wasn't at all just amazed by the giant light flashing above her. On the actual 4th we really didn't do anything, we just hung out an BBQed.

A couple of pictures of the kids watching the fireworks!

August already!

I can't believe that it is already August I am in total shock! It is almost Lucas' 7th birthday another thing I can't believe. Shane and I have been together since Lucas was 2 and now he is going to be 7! Crazy! Before you know it is going to be January and I am going to be having a baby. Where does the time go? I just wish that time would slow down a little! Although I have never been more excited for the month of January in my life. I can't wait to see our wonderful new addition to our cute little family. But once that baby is born time better slow down or else.
