One Down, One to Go

The first wedding of the summer was a blast. Turtles and Green Bean were the perfect flower girls.

Enjoying some leftover Tangerine Blossom Wedding Cake, Chocolate Grooms Cake, and Chardonnay after the ceremony. Surprisingly no weight was gained despite eating off plan for a few days. 

We had a western themed rehearsal dinner where Husband and I thought it would be a good idea for the guys to wear belt buckles. They never let me get a picture of them all together so this one will have to do. My dad, 3 brothers, Husband and brother in law all donned them for the party. Want to guess which ones was Husbands? 

  

While at home my sister introduced me to this pear cider. Now I'm usually a Woodchuck girl because the Thirsty Thursday Bar I went to in college had it on tap. I hate beer and it was the only cider on tap so I acquired a taste for the 802 Dark and Dry or the Pear. This blew Woodchuck out of the water. ACE also makes an apple but I didn't get a chance to sample it. 

Zucchini, Green Pepper, Onion Sauteed with Pan Drippings from Steak Added. Amazing! 

We have been eating pretty clean since getting back and are gearing up for Whole30 round two starting in one week on June 12th!  Green Beans turns 3 during our Whole30 so that will be our challenge to staying strong. My favorite holiday (4th of July) also will fall before the 30 days are up. I'm not sure I could bring myself to eat a non-compliant hot dog anyways. But I'll be on the hunt to make those events special and complaint. I'll write a post about our impressions from our 1st Whole30 and what we want out of our next Whole30. 

107 degrees. Poor Sam finding the only shade in the yard.

So for now, I'm getting ready to go out of town for a 4 day kid free weekend. It will be fun to be back with all my girls from college and celebrate the marriage of NatNat and Gabe!
