Growth spurt

All of a sudden my belly bump has become quite obvious! I love it now that strangers are able to recognize me as a "with child"! :)

Ariel

My sister, Kristi just got the cutest puppy ever!! Ariel is a 10-week old miniature dachshund and has the best and feistiest personality ever. She is so tiny and wrinkly and at first was terrified (and rightfully so) of Scout. Now she is nearly leaping from my arms to play with him, although if he comes too close she runs for cover under Kristi's legs.

It was neat to see how Scout reacted to such a small thing...oh but he has no idea what he's in for in a couple of months.

John and Allison's wedding

The weekend after spring break, Clay, Scout, and I went back to Ft. Worth for a fun fun wedding. John is one of Clay's good good friends from high school. I love seeing Clay's friends get married, especially when they are blessed enough to find amazing wives like Allison.

Well, John and Alli ended up getting married at the same church as my good friend Allison Gilmore...it was neat to be back there and relive their moment too! We were just out of college and it was only my second time to be a bridesmaid. It is amazing how differently I view wedding ceremonies now that I'm married! The words and prayers mean so so much more. I also loved watching my handsome husband from the pews as he has done many times for me.

The reception was at a neat restaurant called Lonesome Dove in the stockyards. We had a blast and danced the night away, but my favorite part was the firepit complete with blankets and smores! Yumm (way to win a pregnant ladies heart!)

Spring Break

Whoa, it has been a long time since I blogged! Lots has happened over the last few weeks and I will be slowly updating and catching up.

Starting with my spring break, it was soooo nice to have an entire week off from work! Scout and I made the short road trip up to Ft. Worth to spend some time relaxing with my parents. I love where they live, it is always so relaxing!

While in Ft. Worth, I was able to meet up with some great friends, Allison and Paige! They are both such amazing moms and I hope I handle motherhood as gracefully and wonderfully as those two have. They both have precious daughters so it was really fun for me to see them in action.

Me at 22 weeks with Paige 31 weeks!

Allison and Me

The rest of my time was spent by my parents pool, it wasn't warm enough to layout but I had fun just being in the sun and constantly throwing Scout the ball. Here he is begging for the ball to be thrown (see how polite and patient he is being!!)

That doesn't last long, he wanted his ball badly, about an hour and a half of ball time and I was soaked with cold, cold pool water.
