Happy Birthday To Me

Sunday was my birthday. I turned 25 years old. I'm not one to make a production out of things especially my birthday so although it was low key, it was rad. My husband rocks! Saturday we spend the day together, had Ned's for lunch, shared an Orange Dreamsicle Bahama Rama Mama (soooo good), then had dinner at Carrabba's with family. Later that night, he gave me a full body lotion massage (with a happy ending). On Sunday we had an amazing home cooked meal by his parents, then everyone came over for cake & ice cream. It was awesome. I got so many great gifts from Brock & my family. I'm one spoiled lady!!

My first present. One word... Yay!
My second present. Two words... holy crap!

My most favorite presents of all

The next part is oober/uber (?) cheesy so you might just want to skip it all together.

Dear Brock,
You know I suck at communicating (which is kinda important in a marriage). You know I say one thing & mean another. You can read me like an open book and sometimes I seriously wonder if you can read my mind. I can be the most frustrating person in the world yet somehow you find a way to put up with me & love me at the same time. I am a better person because of you. You get me out of my comfort zone (with me kicking & screaming the whole time) which I am so grateful for. There are times when I wonder why you even married me at all yet I'm so glad you did. You make me laugh, cry, angry, and happy all at the same time. Thank you for the most amazing birthday. I love you.

The End.

Peanut Butter

I love peanut butter... it seriously is one of my favorite things especially when it's combined with chocolate! Brock came across this video of our dog Harley after we gave her some peanut butter & I thought it was so cute I had to share it. Hope everyone had a great 3 day weekend!

Hurray for Graduation!!

Congratulations to my amazing husband for graduating with highest honors from ASU!! I am so proud of Brock, he has worked so hard for this. His graduation was nice & not too long. It was already hot outside so I don't have many pictures so I stole some from my sister in law Shalene haha. We celebrated by eating at Spinato's which is one of the best places to get pizza. The next day we had a BBQ/swim party at Shalene's house because she's awesome & has a pool. Brock doesn't know what to do with himself now that he's done with school but knowing him he'll find something to do. Even though he has a job, hopefully he'll find something more related to his degree. Anyway, here are the few pictures from the weekend!

Family Pictures

Here are our family pictures taken by my sister in law Calli. Adelaide slept the whole time & wouldn't keep her bow on but the pictures turned out great anyway!

One of my favorites

Love this one

Love my sweet bald baby!

My goal is to get pictures of Addie with her eyes open. She's starting to smile so hopefully I can capture that too. I'll post those as soon as I get them!!

Dieting Advice

Does anyone have advice on how to diet & keep up the milk supply while breastfeeding? I want to start dieting but I'm not sure how to do that without drying out my milk. I could really use suggestions so if anyone has them, I'd love to hear it!
