Weekend at Home and 12 Weeks Pregnant

Jay and I had a wonderful weekend together.  We love being in Kansas City and getting to spend some quality time together at home.  We're such home bodies that it's easy to spend all our time at home just relaxing, cooking or cleaning together, doing yard work, walking our dog or, more recently, bike riding!  This weekend was no exception, especially with the nice spring weather we had! 

Saturday we slept in and then headed down to Suburban Lawn & Garden for a few annuals for my pots.  We came home to spend some time outside mowing, planting and gardening.  I forgot to take pics of the house with our new flowers and planted pots but I'll try to snap some next weekend.  After gardening, we went on a bike ride down the Harry Wiggins Trolley Track Trail - which is about 3 blocks from our house so it's perfectly close!  The weather was just gorgeous and we enjoyed being together outside.  We even saw a snake! After our bike ride, we went to the grocery store for our weekly meals and decided to have a grill-out since it was so nice.  So we did.  Did I mention we DON'T have a grill?  Yep, no grill.  So we just ghetto-rigged our fire pit and grilled some Nathan's hot dogs (the best, not kidding) and fire roasted some summer squash!

The hot dogs and squash actually turned out really yummy. ;)


Cutest dog ever

Face pettin'

We sneaky-snapped this pic of some cardinal babies in our neighbors' rose bush!  Love nature.

Sunday we went to church and then had brunch at Waid's Diner to celebrate the completion of first trimester!  Yay!  I'm just over 12 weeks pregnant and couldn't be more ecstatic to saying good-bye to the first trimester.  More details to come later... I promise, but here's a 12 week belly pic for now. 

Eh, it's not very good.  Probably because my mirror is so dirty or the lighting is terrible.

I took a nap after brunch (nope, the exhaustion and fatigue haven't completely subsided) while Jay did some studying and then we went on another bike ride before we met up with Jonathan and Heather for some afternoon fro-yo at Orange Leaf!  Ice-cream cravings, anyone? ;) 

Stopped for a water break!

And that pretty much wrapped up our weekend... We stayed in again on Sunday night, made some chilli since it was so chilly {yep, I just said that} and watched a movie.  Great weekend!
