Adam + Ana

So my brother got married a couple weekends ago, and I wanted to post a few pictures...Adam and Ana are an amazing couple and I'm so happy for them!! It was great having the whole family together and we had a blast in Columbus, OH.....IO!!

Soon-to-be sister in law at the bachelorette party!! Yes, I have to say I got some crazy looks from people at 1am in a  sports bar....but hey, I couldn't miss this!!

Rehearsal dinner was at Huntington stadium during a minor league baseball game...such a fun idea!

Dad and his girls...

New recipe and fav website...

Wanted to share my new favorite recipe...so easy, healthy and filling!!
Zesty Black Bean Burgers
1 can drained black beans (smash with a fork)
1 egg
1/2 cup bread crumbs (or cracker crumbs work too)
1/2 cup chopped red onions
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
1/2 can drained corn
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
salt and pepper
**you could also use 1/2 packet of taco seasoning instead of the above spices**

Combine all ingredients and form into patties (should make about 4 burgers) and bake on a greased cookie sheet, 7-10 minutes on each side at 400 degrees. You can also use a skillet or gas grill, although you will probably need to use foil if you use the grill so your burgers don't fall apart!! Enjoy : )

I also wanted to share this great website I found....it's called http://www.zulily.com/ and they send you updates every day with deals on adorable children's boutique clothing, maternity gear, and classic toys!! You do have to sign up in order to receive the sale updates, but there is some really great kid's stuff at amazing prices...check out the smocked dresses- so precious!!!

Third trimester is here!

So I am now 30 weeks pregnant and really having a hard time believing how fast this pregnancy is going....feeling pretty good and looking forward to meeting my munchkin in less than 10 weeks (hopefully!!) I'm definitely sporting the preggo waddle and Tums have become my best friend! This baby is still incredibly active and although I'm now getting some pretty aggressive rib kicks, I'm absolutely loving this time in my pregnancy....quality bonding time! Here are some recent pics:

Catching up....

Sorry for the month-long blogging hiatus...we have had a very busy May, but I promise I have kept up with the belly shots! I am now almost 29 weeks pregnant.....how has 7 months gone by so quickly?? I've still been feeling really great- starting to feel a bit massive and bending over and shaving my legs has become quite a feat, but excited that I only have 11 weeks to go!! Here are some photos of our May happenings...
