Bear Lake

Last weekend we went to Bear Lake for a family get together with my mom's family. We stayed at my uncle's cabin. It was a nice relaxing weekend. The weather was nice, just not warm enough to go out on the lake. Brian was able to go on a nice 4-wheeler trip. They went up to the site of an old plane crash. I stayed at the cabin with my mom and aunt, just visiting and relaxing. The worst part about the weekend was driving home in my car whose AC doesn't work anymore. It was the hottest time of day too. Needless to say, it was a very long, hot, and loud (due to the open windows) drive. I came home so exhausted that I went right to bed at about 7:30 and I slept through the night.

My Birthday weekend

This weekend has been nice also. It was my birthday weekend, so I pretty much got to decide what we did. On Friday, we went to Borders so I could spend my birthday gift card from my mother-in-law. I was able to get 2 books that I wanted. Then we stopped for ice cream on the way home. On Saturday we went to the temple in the morning, which was a nice way to start the day. Then we drove to Salt Lake for my birthday lunch. I have always wanted to eat at The Cheesecake Factory so we finally did. The menu is huge. It's literally a book. They couldn't decide what kind of food they wanted to serve, so they serve it all. The food was pretty good, but the cheesecake was delicious. Next time I am going just for dessert. I got White Chocolate Carmel Macadamia Nut cheesecake.

Then we went shopping at the mall next door to help us walk off all of the food that we ate. We went in to Carter's to look at baby clothes. They had 50% off of all of the clothes, so I couldn't resist getting some adorable onesies and a pajama sleepsack. In our shopping trip I was also able to use my birthday money to buy some nice makeup. Meanwhile, Brian was a trooper and let me go in all the makeup and baby stores that I wanted.

It was a great birthday weekend!

to match my other kitchen containers from my parents, and the books that I bought with my

gift card!

My craving

I haven't really been craving much during my pregnancy, with the exception of cinnamon rolls. I always want one. After spending a lot of money for one at a bakery, I decided to make my own. They actually turned out pretty well, I'm sure I will make them again, maybe next week;) But I decided I needed to add about twice as much cinnamon and sugar next time, to make them truly fantastic.

Also, here is my 22 week baby bump picture, for those of you not on facebook.
