4th of July Weekend

We had a great 4th of July weekend filled with family, fun and lots of sun!

We spent the weekend with Mr. B's parents at their lakehouse and we spent the actual 4th with my family. 

We started off Saturday morning modeling our newly made festive bandana/collar....

And a little play/action session....

Took a break, had breakfast and got ready for a day on the boat
The door on the boat broke and Roxie that it was custom made just for her
Mr. B went jet skiing
Then took Roxie for a "swim" in her new life jacket

{this is Roxie begging him to pick her up and Mr. B's face of pain as her nails kept scratching his chest}
She calmed down a little bit....
Right before a full force doggie paddle

We let her relax a little bit and then took her out on another adventure
A kayak ride!
I think she enjoyed it, she seemed to pretty content just floating around.
They looked so cute and peaceful until prego momma decided to join in on the fun...
It didn't quite look the same.

Here I am yelling at Mr. B that we are sinking, that Roxie and I are sitting in the water. 
He didn't believe me and I am partially thankful to have pictures to prove it, but also umm..
slightly embarrassed.

We were able to get a cute family shot after I realized this whole kayaking experiencing was nothing like what I had pictured in my head.

After a long day, filled with many new adventures Roxie cuddled up with Mr. B and his battle wounds.

{And next year I won't have to have a 4th of July post about my dog because we will have a little girl!! :) } 

Monday was really relaxing, we lounged around in the pool for most of the day, Mr. B read his book on the hammock 

And the girls wanted to have a little photo shoot..


{Olivia didn't know what to do with her hand, ha!}



Had to get a picture of the 3 amigos in their matching bandanas

And us girlies in with our matching headbands

Then we headed off to the fireworks




And Roxie wasn't phased one bit.

We love long weekends and time with family :)


And I think that's enough pictures to last me until next week...maybe next year.

Weekend Wedding

This weekend Mr. B and I took a little {felt like forever} road trip to Maryland for my old roomie's wedding. 

I was so excited to be reunited with my friends, last time we were all together was about 2 years ago for our wedding! It's so awesome when you can not be together for so long, but then when you get together it's like it's been no time at all.  Love that!

This post will be lots of pictures {I hope, if blogger let's me this time!}.

The road trip started off with 
a.  An 18 week growth spurt {just in time to fit into my already tight non-maternity dress} 

&

b. The new traveling essentials. I was nervous for this drive since I usually feel sick, and sometimes get sick by just a 25 minute drive to church on Sundays- but I was prepared just in case!

When we hit NY, we were caught in a giant rain storm. It was raining so hard that pretty much everyone was just stopped on the highway because you couldn't see a thing. When it finally cleared up a little bit, we looked out the window and realized we were apparently in the middle of a flash flood.
This is on the highway!!
So needless to say, that slowed us down for a while and it was lots of stop and go, stop and go.
And....during this crazy adventure I needed to use the previously pictured yellow bowl.  Thankfully it was just fruit snacks, ha TMI- sorry.

A little over 8 hours later we finally arrived, got ready, went out for dinner and met up with the girls at the rehearsal. 

And they were quick to love on our little girl :)

The next day was the big wedding day! The location of the ceremony was at a beautiful bed & breakfast overlooking the water and the weather was perfect. A little hot, but no rain and that's what we prayed for!

We killed some time and took some pictures before the ceremony began.
Yes, I am that short and they are that tall. 

Like I wasn't feeling short and extra round before, put me in pictures next to my tall gorgeous friends! I wanted so badly to be pregnant, so of course this is all so so worth it. It just took some extra strength to stay positive :)

I requested a picture of them at my level so I wouldn't look so short. Apparently that was a lot harder than I thought it would be. 

It was finally wedding time, Jules looked amazing!
The newlyweds!!!


Almost two years ago that was us and now we are expecting and it's quite possible we are even more excited than we were on our wedding day! It's a close call ;)



Having fun at the reception!

It's a tradition to get a picture like this with my gorgeous "giant" friends...
Sad and hilarious all at the same time, I know!

Mr. B even danced with me! This was a successful night! He was thrilled because I am usually out on the dance floor all night, but with the super tight dress, uncomfortable shoes and the new inability to "get low", I spent a lot of time sitting at the table with him watching people dance! 
It was a great trip! Weddings are so beautiful and such a joyful time of celebration! 
I was very relieved to get out of that dress and back into some sweats
and get the 8 hour car ride over with though!

Congrats Jules & Ted!!! We are so happy for you guys and were blessed to be a part of your special day!

Living For the Weekends.

This summer is different than all our others.
This summer we are living for the weekends.

We are grown ups now.
And when I say grown ups I mean Mr. B works full time and
Roxie and I lounge around the apartment {and I am part part time nanny} and we wait for
Mr. B to get home.
Roxie enjoys her favorite sun spot in the morning and I catch up on some shows.

The days pass by and we look forward to the weekends.
The taste of summer we once experienced every day is now just two days a week
and we try to enjoy every moment of it...

The great helpers when we visit my parents' house.
the extra love and attention {as if she could possibly get any more!}
the acres of open grass to run around in,
the chickens to chase {and their poop to always find and eat!}
the many cute photo opps,

A taste of the sweet stuff {which we seem to be getting every weekend}
30 365 day-eat-junk-and-hopefully-work-out-one-day shred is in action bytheway.

Car rides up north to Mr.B's parents' lake house,
Where someone tries really hard to get comfy...

At least her legs are crossed and she is sleeping like a lady..

the sunny days on the boat

She stays like this when the boat is in motion.
She is not a big fan of the wind...yet.
Note: Roxie and Mr. B -apparently this was an eyes closed photo.

The newest photo of The Smelly Family :)
Yes, her eyes are still closed...she fell asleep like that.
The boat wipes her out.

She chooses to sleep like this.
We enjoy life at the lake.
And time with family.

And we love our weekends.

And we can't wait for this upcoming long weekend!
