Bring on Fall!

Since the weather is pretty much fall right now and tomorrow is September it's getting me really excited for my favorite season that happens to have my favorite things! Here is what I LOVE about Fall:
Cougar Football, I seriously get the Chills if I hear some yell "cougar football Saturday!!!"

After 3 seasons of playing fantasy football (and wining twice!) I love NFL Football just as much as College, we cheer for the Philadelphia Eagles at my house!

And is there anything more gorgeous that fall leaves? I think not....

And I love all my harvest decor for my house! Orange looks great in my house and I think I will start bringing this stuff out this weekend!

And the BEST smelling thing in the world is my Pumpkin Roll scentsy, I am seriously obsessed! If you haven't heard of scentsy google it, you wont be sorry, it's awesome!

And maybe one of the best tasting things (besides pumpkin lattes from Starbucks) is pumpkin bread! I have an amazing recipe for it! Sometimes I add chocolate chips and sometimes I add raisins too to make it even tastier!

Also I met my hubby in the fall (October 17th 2003) and married him in the fall (October 10th, 2010) and we are now going to have a fall baby! So these are the reasons I am ready for fall!

Nursery is complete!

I am not one of those people who enjoy decorating, but this was kinda fun! I still need a lamp for the nightstand but nothing has caught my eye.... After looking at these photos I am thinking I really need to get a new camera! The picture quality is horrible!

Another Bad day for Mackie

This poor dog of ours in tortured daily as I go into the babies room and organize things. He always has to follow me in..... and there are so many fun toys- that look like they should be his. He sits and stares at them just waiting for permission and looking so sad. It's like the face of a pregnant lady in an ice cream factory after being told she can't have any.....The good news is I know Easton will learn how to share real early in life since I am sure Mackie will be all over every toy he has.

After about an hour if this this morning I vacuumed the house as well, which is truly Mackie's biggest fear in life. Poor guy is sound asleep now, such a mentally exhausting morning!

On a side note I never realized how lazy this beast is until I started staying home! He literally sleeps all day, lucky guy!

The nursery is coming along great, we get our chair on Thursday, then we will put a few things on the walls so pics to come soon!

What NOT to say to a pregnant lady.....

It amazes me what comes out of people mouth's about my pregnant belly. Some of the sweetest things; yes for sure and some of the rudest things as well..... Let's go over what NOT to say to a pregnant lady, these are all things I have heard in the past few weeks:

1. Are you sure its not twins? (from a co-worker)
2. Wow, big baby (from the Asian pedicurist at the nail salon)
3. Well you are going to have a healthy baby (Grocery check out lady)
4. I can't believe the size of you! (aunt)
5. You look Ready!(aunt)
6. I can't believe you are going to get any bigger either!

People- we pregos are moody and sensitive... think before you speak! This is not the time for insults. The only appropriate thing to say to a pregnant lady is "you look beautiful and/or you are glowing" As if I don't know I am huge I don't need to hear it from anyone else. There is my little rant for the day.

With all this being said I saw the Dr. this week and baby is still measuring big- 98th percentile, but he and I are healthy so all is good! 7 weeks til D-day, cannot wait!

Friends- if you had people say something that was offensive to you please share, it will make me feel better :-)

Country Music

I am obsessed with Country Music lately. I think there is something about summer that makes me want to listen to Country all the time. I am currently listening to Zac Brown Band while I work on the babies room....

Here are my favs right now:
1. Knee Deep- Zac Brown Band
2. Honey Bee- Blake Shelton
3. Long Hot Summer- Kieth Urban
4. Just Fishin- Trace Atkins

*** Best songs of summer for me though still is: Summertime by Kenny Chesney and Chicken Fried by Zac Brown band.. However they make me want a ice cold beer real bad :(

Sorority Reunion Weekend!

It's been 10 years since we graduated from WSU and 14 years since we all met... this weekend we are celebrating our sisterhood with a reunion in Sunriver. Camille has kindly offered up her awesome vacation home and 13 of us are all staying there for the weekend. There will be lots of laughter, memories wine and food and I am sure it will be a blast! Luckily Katy is due 2 days before me so I won't be the only 'sober sister' and also luckily Camille's house has a guest house that we are sleeping in so if the girls stay up late drinking I can go to  bed without hearing every one :-)
Here is the house where it all began.....

I'm so excited to see all these lovely ladies!

As cheesy as it sounds we really are like sisters. Unless you have been in a sorority you just won't get it... but for the craziest 4 years of of lives we lived together, went to class together, worked out together, ate meals together, partied together, slept in bunk beds together...literally did everything together. We laughed, cried, fought over boys, beer and everything else but at the end of the day these are the kinda friends that only come into your life once and regardless of the fact we live all over the U.S. we will all be sisters and most importantly friends forever!

Another Fabulous Baby Shower

Saturday my sister and mom threw me a baby shower for friends, It was so fun! It was at my house which was nice so everyone could see the nursery and super nice not to have to take every thing
home :-)
Here is me and my ginormous belly at 31 weeks! I know its shocking how big it is and I still have 9 weeks to go

We played a few games, open presents and lots of delicious food was consumed! Along with many mimosas and cranpagnes (cranberry and champagne- my fav drink)! Some of the girls from my pledge class got me a BOB stoller too! It was the black one, the one I really wanted to I ended up taking the Orange BOB from work back.
Me, my mom and sister:

Such a wonderful day, I am so thankful for my mom, sister, Camille and Gretchen for helping throwing me such a great shower! pretty white hydrangeas....

Look at the cute Camo rain boots on the mantle!
