Instagram kind of life

The last couple of weeks have been nothing but lounging around, relaxing!
It's been wonderful!
Needless to say my skin is flawless from not wearing makeup often.
The relaxing ends today. Boo :(
My hubby and I have both have crazy work schedules, house projects, and an upcoming trip to deal with. Life's about to get cray cray!!

Enjoy last week via Instagram.

 I made my very first baby blanket for my best friend. She being induced on Wednesday :)
(find out why Wednesday is such a special day to me later this week )

 Coming from a family full of military members, it's natural for Kyson to start those push up's early.

 ...we've endured many bruises because of this!

 Celebrating our freedom!

 I got sucked into Fifty Shades of Grey. 
Don't judge a book by it's cover. It was actually a really good book! Read the whole trilogy in a week..

 Triple Chocolate Cheesecake from my weekly Girls Night. YUM!

 Squadron BBQ for the 4th of July! 

Kyson will be 4 before I know it and I'm still putting together his baby book.. How slow am I?!
But look, I'm almost done :)

I just love Instagram and I'm always looking for new people to follow! 
Leave your username so I can follow you!

does your husband do that?

Wanna know how cool we are?
We pluck each others hair.
And when I say we, I mean I force my husband to let me pluck his eye brows and the few gray hairs at his hairline..
He enjoys it so it's not mean!


But to make it up to him, I give him a nice back rub.
And when I say back rub, I mean I sit on his back and bounce.
We're kinky.
And then I feed him frozen candy bars.

We were made for each other!
Cheers to us.
