steppin' out & the freakin' weekend.

i feel like i blinked & the weekend was over.  seriously, we jam-packed so much into these last couple days & i am so not ready for a monday.

saturday i fit in a friend's baby shower, a maternity photo session & a date night with my family.  it was one of those days where you have about fifteen minutes to catch your breath between activities & then when it's all over you realize boom.  you just had a rad day.

our family date nights are pretty romantic... sam & i split a burger & ate our weight in steak fries.  parker barely touched anything in his meal besides ketchup-dipped apples.  and then this time?  we took it up a notch.  we went to cabela's to buy trigger locks for sam's guns.  that's how we do it.

parker was way more excited about all the taxidermy-stuffed animals than we expected.  the rest of the night all we heard was "elephant!  zebra!  fish!  deer!  more deer??"

looks like more trips to the world's most expensive outdoorsman's store will be in our future.

and sunday was lazy.  there were naps, leftovers & movies.  we watched "being elmo" & i may have cried some serious pregnancy-induced-hormonal tears because it was such an amazing story.  it's on netflix instant queue, so watch it tonight.

and lastly?  i blow-dried my hair & put on some heels for church-going.

here's a steppin' out fun fact for ya:  this dress/boots combo is the same outfit i wore on my very first steppin' out post back in october 2010.  but back then it didn't serve as a comfy maternity dress.  and i was blonde... ish.

and parker?  he's still pretty dang cute.  only now with a little more hair.

and then there's these two.  i like them.

happy monday friends!
