Quirky favorites

With my due date approaching I find myself wondering what to do with my days more than usual, in other words I am bored more often.  When I tell people I have stayed at home since I've been pregnant they kind of look at my like how boring, you must be bored out of your mind constantly.  But honestly I've stayed pretty busy! Until now... Part of it probably has something to do with the fact that I am way more tired these days so I'm feeling much lazier.  I won't tell you how many times a week noon comes around and I'm still in my Jammies.   {Who doesn't love jammies?!}

It also doesn't help that this week Kevin is working one of his long weeks, otherwise known as hell weeks where he leaves the house at 4:45 am and doesn't get home until 9 pm.  It's terrible! And leaves me more bored than usual. So since nothing too exciting has been going on around here and I have zero pictures to show what little we have done I thought I would share a few of my favorite things as of late...

I love this quote and I hope I always remember it. 

Favorite Memory since living in elko {one of them}

One night a few months ago I believe it was after stake conference, the adult session on Saturday night, I decided I was craving an ice cream cone from McDonald's so Kevin took me there and we both got cones. We were sitting across from each other in our booth, {yes we frequent there often so we have a booth} he shaped his cone so that it was completely round on the sides and then took a bite from the top forming a little dangle. He looked at the cone then looked at me and said in his best and most serious pirate voice AAARGG and stabbed his cone at me. I busted up laughing, it was so hilarious and I laughed about it for the rest of the night and sometimes when I'm by myself I think of that moment and laugh out loud. We have so much fun together and I'm so glad he's mine and I'm so glad he keeps me laughing over little stuff like ice cream.

Baked Chicken Fajitas

Favorite new recipe I tried last week.  I love getting new recipes and something different from the same old stuff we always have.  This was way yummy and super easy with stuff I usually have on hand which is so nice. 

We desperately needed a new can opener, our other one was such a pain so I told Kevin I was going to buy the Oxo one, my parents have it and have had it for like ten years.  I think it was around $20 but SO worth it! Every time I use it I tell him what a great purchase it was and he just laughs that something like a can opener can bring me such pleasure. 

Favorite thing to look at on pinterest...

They're all so sweet, I can't believe that in a few weeks we'll have our little guy here I feel like it has been this dream that is still forever away, something that we've talked about and talked about but is never actually going to happen.  Then I realize that my due date is three weeks away and I start to have a minor freak out like do we have everything ready? Am I ready for the whole labor and delivery process? {All the 'what ifs' of pregnancy}

I am usually a huge stresser of the unknown and a few weeks ago it was really getting to me, I was constantly worrying about everything that could happen or what we did or didn't have and it was starting to get to me, I was breaking down over the smallest things.  Kevin finally gave me a blessing and things have been much better since, I hardly worry which is very unlike me.  I am so grateful for the priesthood and my good husband who holds it, it is such a blessing.

Favorite food to eat

Love these, always have and always will I could probably eat a carton a day and be completely content, and bonus they're on sale right now!

Well these are a few of my favorite things at the moment, sorry to bore you all but at least it kept me entertained for a while!

Spring!

We started off April with lovely spring weather in Nevada, I can't wait for summer to come to spend all our days in the sun! So since it's pretty much sandal weather and I can't reach my toes, my sweet husband painted them for me!

He was so concentrated.  It took him two times, he thought it would be a lot easier than it actually was but they turned out great! Isn't he the best?

Then Kevin's younger brother mitch came home from his mission so we went to Utah and spent time with the whole family it was so great that everyone could be there.

Date night with all the siblings at cafe sabor, yum!

This is me at 36 weeks.  I am trying to forget the date and forget how many more weeks, hopefully it will go a little faster if i'm not focused on the date but we'll see. Everything seems to be on schedule, I did get sick the other night and i'm hoping it was just a one time thing because i'm not sure I can handle being sick again and sore hips ha. Other than a few more things I need to buy mostly stuff like medicines and diapers, I feel like there is not much else I can do to prepare for this little one until after he gets here.  I'm sure after he arrives we'll feel like we need a million more things but for now at least I feel prepared. 

Easter sunday we kept up with tradition and colored easter eggs, it was a fun little date for us!

25

On April 1st Kevin turned 25!! It was a Sunday and we were headed to Utah to see Kevin's brother Mitch who was just getting home from his mission so we celebrated a little early.  He came home from work and opened presents and then we went to dinner at wingers... here are some pictures!

Happy birthday to Kevin! Love you lots!
