My busy weekend

The weekend has flown by! Friday night Chad and I went on a date to Market Place to enjoy some nice dinner! We then went to Sam's and bought some things for the rest of the week! I love Sam's, we always have fun in there!!! Plus, we priced diapers and all that good ole' stuff!

Saturday I had a baby shower to go to for my friend Mandy so Chad went and played golf. Her shower was adorable and there were so many sweet girls there. I have known Mandy for about 8 years now, and Mr. Cayden is due Sept 10th! After the baby shower Chad wanted to give me some time to myself so I left for an hour, got a Sonic drink, (happy hour baby), and ran around a bit. Then we went over to our friends Chad and Melissa's. They grilled jalapeno stuffed chicken with some amazing goodies to go with. I must say that the highlight of my evening was the brownies with icing! Melissa made the especially for me because I had never had them with icing before! We were BAD!!! I did bring a fruit dish, but that kind of out weighed the other sweet treat! It was GOOD! I didn't eat lunch so I could save up for this lovely meal!! Yummy....After dinner we played cards, Phase 10! We love that game and all had a blast playing and giggling while sharing stories! Chad ended up winning... Melissa's Chad. Dang him! I did horrible!

Melissa and I have become close over the past few months. She has been there for me through the end stages of my pregnancy with Avery and throughout the first few weeks. We really appreciate them and have loved getting to know them! I am so glad that Chad and I have found a fun couple to hang with and share our time with. We all have SO much in common!

So after being at their house and seeing a glaze they had on their walls, Chad and I decided to do our own! We have been wanting to paint our bathroom and bedroom but weren't sure what we wanted to go with because we are wanting to do a whole to new makeover on our room soon. We love the colors in our bathroom, but the paint is starting to look dirty. So we are in the process now of getting this rubbed glazed all over the walls, I must say- it looks fantastic!!! At first I was nervous because you are just using a WMT sack and dipping it into the paint and rubbing it all over the wall. But it's looking better the more that is completed!

Im starting to get a little sad thinking that my baby is 6 weeks old this week! I am officially over the postpartum stage as of next week so I have no excuse for not being able to do anything. I go see the doctor this week and he will let me know if I can continue on with normal activity, which includes working out everyday, walking at least once a day, and eating right! I have 20 lbs to lose to get to my goal weight! I do plan to allow until Christmas to get to that weight because if I try to do it too soon, it won't fall off. It takes time! Took 9 months to pile on, it will take every bit of that to get back down, and more! I just want to be healthy and that takes some life style changes of eating better for my baby, walking often, and adding a lot of activity back into my life. The hardest part is my hips have changed. So hopefully we can shave off a few inches of that area.

Avery is fantastic! She's the cutest thing... wiggling like a worm! She has those arms and legs just a movin'! We just love looking at her, laying her in her boppy, and spending mornings with her giggling. She will just lay there and look around. I can barely carry her over my shoulder to another room because that head is turning trying to look around at everything! She is so alert! We go in 2 weeks for our 2 month shots! ;( I will cry like a baby!!!!

Enjoy some fun cute pics of our enjoyable weekend!
