Baby Shower!

My gorgeous cousin in law Adriana and I were able to have a joint baby shower. It was perfect. I think we are both so lucky to be having little girls. Well Adriana already had hers last week. Her name is Samantha Claire and she is beautiful! We got so many cute things. A lot of them the same! Which means our little girls have several matching outfits. I think that is cute since I am sure they will be close friends.

I took a bunch of pictures of everything..Enjoy!

Adriana and me

The whole food set up. It was so stunning you almost didn't want to eat any of it!

The most AMAZING daisy cookies. Not only are they adorable looking but they taste SO good.

More food

Cute little cupcakes...they had a rough trip up to the shower because of the heat. But they still look quite cute.

I like these

So there was a clothesline that went across the kitchen that had little baby clothes, rattles, and our baby's names hanging from it. I am so mad I didn't get a picture of the whole thing. It was so cute.

These cute outfits were given to us by my mom

My cousin and Adriana's sister in law Melanie gave us these cute little cream shoes

Aunt Susie gave us both these pillows which will be so nice! They have a strap attached so we can strap our baby into it as well. She also gave us the book..Brown bear brown bear what do you see.

Aunt Stephanie gave us these adorable dresses and a couple other ones

Sophia and me

Another picture of Adriana and me

Baby Olivia needs to hurry up and get here. I can't wait to put her in all those cute things!

5 Months!

I can't believe it has already been 5 months, yet I can't believe there are still 4 months ahead.
I can't say that I have enjoyed being pregnant so much.
But I am sure when we see our beautiful little girl it will all be worth it!
I just started getting a little pooch haha...it is a little weird.
At least it is sort of cute right now...we'll see how long that lasts:)

Happy Father's Day!

I would like to wish a Happy Father's Day to all the fathers in my life but most importantly to these 3 men: my dad, my father in law, and my husband. There are so many things that I love about each of them and I consider it an incredible blessing to be surrounded by such amazing men.

Happy Father's Day Dad!
I don't know where I would be without my dad.
He has taught me so many valuable lessons that have helped make me who I am today. There are so many things I could say about my dad that I love but here are just a few...
I love:
*How he taught me and still teaches me the importance of constantly trying to become a better person. I know at times I felt like I was being lectured all the time but I know it is only because he cares so much and that means the world to me.
*His sense of humor. I can't help but laugh at all the weird things he does.
*His willingness to put others before himself. He is always concerned about how other people are feeling. I have never seen him put himself before anyone else.
*My dad truly is one of the most amazing people I have ever met, and I don't just say that because he is my dad, I am just lucky that he is!

Happy Father's Day Antone!
Just in the short amount of time I have spent with him (sad he lives in Washington) I have developed a deep love and respect for him.
Antone is the type of person that you could sit down and talk with about ANYTHING. He never makes you feel stupid and always gives good advice.
He is incredibly smart. There is so much to learn from him.
He is the type of person that you feel safe with. You know he will always be there no matter
I am so blessed to have a father in law like him.

Last but definitely not least is my boy.
I can't even imagine our little girl's excitement to come down and have a dad like him.
I think sometimes our kids might get a bit confused as to whether or not he is their dad or one of them!
Michael is the funniest, most playful person I have ever met. I spend most of my time either laughing or shaking my head at him. I know our kids our going to love this side of him.
I know our kids are going to learn so much from him. He is so smart and so insightful and so easy to talk to.
There is so much to say about my boy and so many qualities he has that are going to make him the best dad.
I am so glad that he let me pick him to be my husband and father to our kids.
Happy Father's Day love!

Washington and a few other things!

I have quite a bit to catch up on since it has been a while since my last post. We just got back from spending an amazing 10 days up in Yakima, Washington with the Mickelsons! It was so fun to be able to relax and escape from everything...needless to say we both are a little bummed to be back.
First of all...

Happy Birthday to my Dad!
On June 2, we were able to celebrate my dad's birthday since we would be leaving to Washington the following day...his REAL birthday! I am so lucky to have such an amazing dad. I really couldn't ask for a better one!

This next picture is mostly for Kelly. But this is a picture of the nightgowns I plan on making for our baby! Aren't they adorable?

Here is another tummy picture...at 20 1/2 weeks! Just in the past week my stomach has started to pop out even more. Not too much..but it is still weird! I can feel her move around all the time now! She is getting so strong. Every once in a while she will throw quite the punch or kick:) I think she thinks it's funny to kick around down low because it makes me have to go to the bathroom haha!

Michael's parents bought us this gift for our baby...I LOVE IT!! It is so perfect and I can't wait to see her in it! Thanks guys!

Here is another picture. I really can't handle how much I love it!

Rachel wanted to make a blanket for the baby while we were there and she let me help. Rachel is so creative! We kind of struggled with the corners at first because of me..but thanks to her it turned out perfectly.

Kelly has some friends that are absolutely amazing at making little baby clips and headbands. We were able to get together with them and learn how to make them. Seriously I am addicted. I plan on making a clip or headband to match every one her outfits haha. It is so fun and so cheap! This is a little daisy clip that I will have to clip onto a headband for her since most likely she will be bald for a while.

I also learned to tie these bows to put on clips. Seriously I can't get enough of it!

We were able to go on a little hike. It was my first time really getting out since I have been off the bed rest. It was so fun to walk around even though it was quite hot. I thought I was doing so good and was quite impressed with myself until we got home and I crashed for pretty much the rest of the day. I am not a big water drinker so I think I just got a bit dehydrated. It was still a blast and Michael and I hope to get out a lot this summer!

My boy and me

We had a perfect 10 days shopping for baby clothes, baby hair things, eating snow cones and amazing food, visiting parks and seeing turtles, playing skipbo, watching Matthew make some great shots at a basketball game, golfing, watching movies and so much more. It was so fun to see the family and spend time together!
