Heat and Exhaustion

For weeks before hand, I had been anticipating going to the Strawberry Festival when my parents came in town. I was excited about it! We had a plan for the weekend and stuck to it pretty well until the little man in my belly reminded me he needed attention too. Early in the afternoon, I had some fresh lemonade and a few bites of funnel cake. After sitting in the sun...for an hour...for the dog show, my pregnant body was over it! I started feeling extremely faint. I tried to stick it out because I didn't want to be that girl that couldn't handle it! I told Forrest how I was feeling. He offered to head home but I knew I'd be ok if I got some water and out of the sun! Mom left the show with me. I immediately sat on the ground under the bleachers and fanned myself with a makeshift cardboard fan Mom found. We sat there until the show was over. Once we all met back up again, Forrest got me some plain, shaved ice and a large cup of water. I sipped on that while listening to his childhood friend, Jay Taylor in a shaded tent. Once the concert was over, I was feeling much better! Needless to say, we all headed home and propped our feet up because we were exhausted!

It was not what I had envisioned but I still had a good time, for the most part!

Daddy Comes on Italian Night

Daddy stopped through Fishhawk last week to spend the night with us. Boy was I glad to see him! We had fettucini alfredo for dinner, watched Friday night lights and visited until we went to bed.

I don't know who Daddy was more excited to see...Me & Forrest or Lexi?

Our Weekend

We had a ball at Bethany's 18th birthday get together! The party was full of dancing...Wii style, eating, fishing, boxing. a little Chinese food, cake balls, cupcakes, a movie and a lot of laughter~

"Hey, Hey You I Don't Like Your Girlfriend"

Boxing. I may get a little bit too intense!

Little Lexi loved the attention!

"Walk like an Egyptian"

"Monster Mash"

Me & Daddy dumpster diving...don't ask : )

Apk Bound

We went to the Foliage Festival with Mom, Bethany & Daddy on Saturday while in Apopka! It's always fun to go back to my hometown. It is surreal. I've only been gone for 2 years but it feels like just yesterday that I graduated from high school!

Enjoy the Pictures!

Saturday With My Parents

Lets start off by saying...."Why do my parents have to live 2 hours away from us?"

Anywho- I spent last Saturday with Mom and Daddy! It went way way too fast!

I helped them do the show at the Lakeland Foliage Festival. The Plant Guru

Daddy came back from the bbq stand with this hunk of meat. He told me "Look Britt, I got a big 'ole ostrich leg." I thought WOW I've got to take a picture of this. Forrest will never believe that they sold ostrich legs there. I went on thinking this for a few hours when somebody spilled the beans that it was merely a turkey leg! OH DADDIO!

On the way to see my awesome parentals!

After the show Mom and I went to Joannes to get the supplies to make a wreath.

That was our project for the evening -A RAYS WREATH! (Pictures to Come)

The Two F's

Our weekend was filled with our favorite things...you guessed it fishing and family! Mom, Dad, Bethany and Mitchel came down for a short visit. While here we caught up on all the latest (this is what Forrest refers to as gossiping), mourned for our dear team and attempted to catch some fish.

I love how this picture captures both Forrest and Dad in their element

One of my forever favorites of Dad

Of course we had to have a family photo to document the trip

Come back soon, por favor?

Beach Palooza

We are home from the beach but keep saying over and over again "Let's go back and stay just one more night!" The weather was perfect, the food was delicious! The last time we went to the beach was with SHS a year ago so it was a much needed vacation!

Lexi looked pitiful when we left!

Thank goodness Adam & Kendall stayed at our house while we were away. Thank you guys!

Daddy was craving seafood so we ate at the Friendly Fisherman. It was really good and had a great view!

Hanging out in our room on the last night....

...so sad to leave!

A Bee Party

Bethany's 17th Birthday Party

Bethany chose Bees as the theme for her party. We had a bee cake, sunflower cupcakes, lemonade, sweet tea, burchetta and a few other snacks. I had a blast organizing the party. It was on the top of my mind the majority of the week.

We chatted, played Apples to Apples and most importantly go to see BABY KINLEY!

After the party, and a rain delay, the girls went to the Aquatic Club. They had a blast going down the slide. I'm pretty sure Daddy would have gone in too if he had his swimsuit.

Happy Birthday, Beff! We can't wait for the next one!

Curtains 101

Mom, Dad and Bethany came to visit last weekend. It was the first time in awhile that we've been able to relax and chat! It was so nice. While they were here all put up our curtains which was a day's project all in itself!

Thank you guys!
