Our Crazy Hectic Beautiful Life

Prepare for a picture overload. I couldn't help but try and take pictures of all our fun shenanigans lately, so I could share them with You!!

 

Our Weekend in St. George was such a wonderful get away, we shopped, and napped, and played tennis, got good food and had the best company in Each other. I loved every minute of it.

 

This was the beautiful Weather we started driving in Thursday night, before it turned into a complete white out blizzard, so we ended up staying the night in Provo and heading the rest of the way South Friday morning.

We did some shopping for the Rocker/Recliner for the baby's nursery, and I believe we found the lucky winner! Now to just get it ordered :)

 

Justin was such a trooper, he had hurt his back Thursday during the day, so while I walked around Bed, Bath  & Beyond, he tested out their massage chairs. Nothing beats a free massage.
 

 I also talked him into accompanying me to the Mall, in exchange for many visits to "Manly Stores"

We're cool and compromise like that :)

 

Justin also took me out for an awesome dinner at the Anasazi Steakhouse, which is a combination of The Melting Pot (with Fondue) and The Hideout (Where you cook your choice of meat on a super hot Rock)

Besides being extra smokey, it was really good :)

However, we both agreed that the best thing about this meal were their Raspberry Cream Italian Sodas....

I'm drooling again just thinking about it. YUM!

 

Of Course while we were there I had to take a Baby-Selfie so this is me at 17 weeks and Loving the Sunshine!

 

While we were gone, we thought it would be the perfect time to have our Backsplash installed. We bought everything to do it before we moved in, and one thing lead to another and it got pushed to the backburner. We were so happy with how it turned out! It made the kitchen feel so much more Classy and Put Together. I'm in aboslute love with it.

 

{Choice of the Stainelss Steel has to be credited to Justin. He talked me into it and I was afraid= He was right}

 

 

The other Amazing and not so amazing things we came home to:

 

Baby's Dresser and Crib were delivered. My wonderful FIL assembled the Crib for us, and I am so happy with our choice.

However, I am not so happy about the dresser :| it was extremely damaged in shipping and is going to have to be sent back and hopefully replaced, if not refunded.

I really don't want to deal with this, but I have no choice, so I'm trying to stay upbeat about it.

Ugh.

On other notes: I decided to open my magic Mary Poppins Bag of good housewife tricks and packed Justin some rockin salads in a jar for lunch this week. He said they were great, which made me proud.

If you want the recipe you can find it here. But there are hundreds upon hundreds of other recipes to be found on Pinterest for these.

My Aunt Jada and Uncle Rafe also welcomed their Beautiful New Addition Finlee Noelle to their family a month earlier than expected while we were in St. George. She was a whopping 4lbs 8oz and had the most adorable head of soft baby hair. I got to go visit them and snuggle up some of her goodness last week. It was wonderful.

 

We're also

 (remember the picture overload I warned you about... Do you believe me now?)

getting to what feels like the last Quarter of our unpacking/organizing/decorating/decluttering into the new house and are so glad it's starting to feel like home. We had our first Party last night with my family as an Early St. Patty's Day celebration and it felt good to fill our home with our family whom we love dearly.

These little kiddo's know how to add a smile to any crowd. Our party was complete with Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup, Green Peas, Green Rolls, Home Made Root Beer and Hot Fudge Sundaes.

Not to mention to Bubbles, Crabwalking, Tremendous Block Castles and  Story Books.
