down the red dirt road...

we just made it back from another fun family weekend in abilene. one of the best trips, since we were celebrating wyatt's (josh's cousin) safe return from his year-long deployment in afghanistan. we met at sarah and joe's on friday night for an italian feast, followed by the soldier's slide show and amazing footage of their "Explosive Ordinance Disposal" crew.

on saturday, we went to pick up the rocker we'd ordered for the baby's room and then headed to the big country for big willy's pig cookout. we went about 30 miles east of abilene and turned down the bumpiest 2 mile dirt road baby ya ya and i could possibly handle. will (josh's cousin and wyatt's bro) and several of his friends cooked for about 16 hours to feed 100+. it was a beautiful evening by the water, listening to music, enjoying the cowboy chuck wagon and hanging with the family.

saturday shop-a-thon...

whew...what a fun-filled busy day!!

i started saturday morning with a very relaxing yoga class right here in my living room. i bought this prenatal yoga DVD the other day and was so excited to get in some excercise before the busy shopping day. deacon was trying to figure out what i was doing, but it was a great stretch for me and the baby.


after tending to my garden a little, i headed downtown to pick up erin for our shop-a-thon adventure at northpark mall. we had lunch at kona grill and then hit the stores. we each had several items on our "must-purchase" list and actually both managed to cross off everything (and then some) on our list.

unfortunately, my ol' reliable old navy flip flops aren't providing the support i need to carry this big ol' belly, so i was in search of some comfortable and casual sandals to get me through the summer. their service was a litle shotty, but i found these Born sandals at dillards and fell in love...


babystyle was having a store closing sale, so everything was 20% off. i just knew when i saw this puppy rocker, baby ya ya had to have it...



i had also been scouting out diaper bags and wanted to get the "julie storksak." i had called some stores before our outing with no luck and we checked every store in np mall to no avail. we went to this adorable maternity boutique in preston village called Pickles and Ice Cream and they had my bag!!




i made it home about six o'clock, took a quick rest of the legs and then josh and i went to Babies r' Us to register for more baby stuff. our first registry adventure at target was pretty overwhelming, but we did a little better this time with a checklist to keep us focused.
after a late and yummy mexican dinner, i was ready for bed....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!
