Bad to the Bone

Let's just say this, by the time I had gotten everyone's food on the table, Miss B had literally devoured her drumstick.

The result.
She doesn't mess around when it comes to Costco chicken!!

FYI, when you go to Costco to pick up a $4.99 chicken, don't forget to grab a tutu for that little lady you love! Can't resist for $14.99! I wish they had one in pregnant Mama size, oh wait, then I would look like Natalie on the Bachelor Pad- maybe not!

**Don't mind the millions of Legos in the background, hey it keeps Jaden busy for HOURS and we finally have come up with a FANTASTIC organization system (not to toot my own horn, but it's true!!).

The Wheels on the Bus. . .

Or Mom's Car, go Round and Round.

Jaden had his first day of Pre-K last Wednesday.
Get ready Miss Terry here he comes!

Belated Anniversary Weekend and a little Babymoon!

Doug and I celebrated our 8th Anniversary on June 29th, but haven't been able to get away until this past weekend. Doug's parents graciously watched the kiddos (minus the one that's in my belly) and Doug and I were off for some fun. We headed up to Vail and couldn't have had a better weekend- only if it was LONGER! I did miss the kiddos, but come on, spending time with just my hubby was just what the doctor ordered!!!

We took the Gondola up to the top, ate a yummy lunch,

tried to walk across the slack lines,

come on, give me a break, I'm a little front heavy!

Doug schooled me at Corn Hole. Yeah, I had NO idea what it was but it's a cross between Bocce Ball and Bean Bag Toss. I never even got to double digits and you want to get to 21. Apparently I didn't know I had married a Corn Hole shark!!

We hiked down from the Gondola and I'm still sore- soooo PATHETIC!! I even tripped on a root, skinned my knee, and ripped my pants, come on, once again, I'm front heavy- right?? and Doug thought I could go Mountain Biking 5 months pregnant- NOPE!!

Once again, we barely took any pics. The pic that I'm most mad that I didn't get was of the most mouth-watering, insane Onion Rings we have ever had!! We ate at a place called the Tavern in Lionshead and they were literally HEAVEN fried up and set before us to devour- which we did! Obviously, eating like that we had to hike it off. Gosh, just thinking about them is making me a little gitty and angry that they are a good 2 hours away from me. That's probably a REAL good thing! We also lounged by the pool, ate yummy Mexican food, walked around, brought our bikes but didn't use them, and just enjoyed being together doing whatever the heck we wanted. It was perfect!! I love you even when I am an ornery pregnant Mama!!

Just a Little Bragging about my HUBBY!!

Seriously, Doug really does it all!! Last weekend he and some of his buddies tackled the Copper Triangle for his 3rd time. That's 80 miles from Copper Mountain, up Vail Pass (18 miles up hill), and back to Copper. I was nervous for him because all he has been doing this summer is this . . .

LANDSCAPING our front and back yard (pics to come and NO that's not our tramp, but we do get to use it A LOT). He seriously works his regular job all day and then works on our yard until 10pm- not fun, but it's looking awesome, so needless to say his training has been on the back burner.

Meeting Doug at the aid station before they hit the Vail Pass death climb!

The biking crew- Stephanie, Eric, Mark, and Doug.

Waiting at the finish line.

While we waited for the guys we had lunch, but the kids just wanted to hit the playground. Once the guys finished they went and ate while the kiddos played and played. It was an awesome day and our hubbies rocked the Copper Triangle once again!!

Obviously we couldn't just let the Barnhursts leave so they came and stayed with us for a few days. We went out on a hot date with our hubbies, partied it up with the kiddos, "let" Doug watch all 5 kiddos so Megan and I could go out with our favorite pal Brecken, tried to stomach an ABC Family movie that was BEYOND BAD, watched the season premiere of the horrific Bachelor Pad (which unfortunately we will continue to watch), ate a lot of egg salad sandwiches, and enjoyed ourselves while the boys LITERALLY played Legos for hours down in the basement. They would just come up for food and to use the bathroom- NO JOKE! Once again, I barely took any pics, but here are a few.

The girlies in the river at Civic Green

We took the kiddos to Pirate's Cove and both Bradli and Paige started out with piggies in their hair. Once we hit lunch, both of their hair bands had broke. They both had sweet hair the rest of the day- I think I had that same hair style in 4th grade and someone dubbed it Birds Nest- so sad!

"Trying" to get a pic of the girlies together- unsuccessful as normal!

TYPICAL!!
We love us some BARNHURSTS!!!
