Weekend Stay-cation

Jeff and I took a quick weekend trip to Fort Worth this past weekend.  It was so nice just to get away and feel like we had no errands to run, plans to stick to, etc.  Jeff planned to book a trip to Fort Worth for my birthday weekend but the hotel didn't have any rooms available, he still wanted to take me so we went this past weekend.  We arrived Friday evening after work and went to dinner.  Saturday we walked around the square and went to the water gardens (walking distance) and then relaxed that afternoon before our special dinner at The Reata.  It was so nice to just be away from the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives and we really enjoyed just being able to spend time with each other!!  Here are a few pictures from the trip :)

22/23 weeks

Wow, so its true what they say about having significantly more energy in the second trimester, (un)fortunately I'm almost into my third so that energy will probably begin to dwindle yet again.  Thats ok though, just means we're that much closer to meeting our precious little boy!

random post..

So I've skipped my weekly pregnancy update for 21 weeks, FAIL, I promise I'll do one for 22 weeks (which is today, holy cow) but I'll work on that later... just a random post about some yummy food I made the other day! :)   They were so easy to make, and I can TOTALLY see this being a super easy and fun meal to do with kids.

Pizza Rolls

1 pkg of premade pizza dough (or homemade if you're feeling adventurous)

1 jar of sauce

Mozzarella cheese

Parmesan cheese

Garlic Powder

Roll out the pizza dough on a flowered surface.  I added the garlic powder right on the dough, but this is definitely optional, or ad whatever spices you like :) Spread the sauce as thin or as generously as you would like it.  Sprinkle the cheese, again as much or as little as you like.  Then once you get all your pizza toppings on the dough, roll the dough longways like you're making cinnamon rolls.  Slice the roll into 1 inch sections and stand up on a cookie sheet.  Bake according to the pizza dough instructions MINUS 2 minutes.  At this time take the pizza rolls out and add a spoonful of sauce to the top of each roll and a sprinkle of cheese, cook the remaining 2 minutes or until the chesse is melted and slightly golden.  Let cool and ENJOY :)

Alfredo pizza

This was really simple and delicious!  Jeff made the alfredo sauce and then we had bought mini pizza crusts and Sprouts.  All we did was put on the sauce, grilled up some chicken breasts and sprinkled with cheese.  Perfect dinner for 2

Can you tell its been Italian food on the brain for us these past 2 weeks??
