Lady Antebellum

Thanks to Auntie Gina, Andrew was able to enjoy the musical talents of Lady Antebellum at Pechanga. Who would have ever thought that one of Country music's most popular bands would be performing live in our little neck of the woods? The night was filled with fun, laughter, and great friends! Thank you Auntie Gina for making Andrew and I your replacement. At 36 1/2 weeks pregnant, we wouldn't have missed it! We are so very thankful you thought of us!

Baby Shower Mania

I truly hope I am able to express to Andrew one day how much he is loved and anticipated by all of my remarkable friends and family. After a fun-filled (but somewhat stressful) day, I took a moment to reflect on what amazing people I have in my life and how thankful I am that they were able to share in the celebration of welcoming Andrew. I cannot believe the generosity and kindness of my family and friends. Words cannot express the gratitude I have! Thank you for making our baby shower so wonderful!

Gma Danelle's house was bursting at the seams with 32 lovely ladies! It was a packed house and I am saddened that my time with them was scattered and short. Conversations were attempted to be had but alas, the excitement and the privilege of being the "Guest of Honor" distracted me from engaging in full conversations. So, thank you for all of your love, support, and friendship. Andrew is so lucky to have such wonderful people in his life...and me too of course!

I was blown away by the creativity of my family and friends. A diaper cake...how clever is that? Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of the other 2 I received. That's right...3 diaper cakes!! WOW!

Balcony seating for the family...or as Gma Danelle said, the "riff raff room"

My co-worker Amy is one of the most talented women I have ever met. On top of being a teacher and a mom of a very busy little boy, she made this cake for my little guy and it matched his nursery bedding perfectly! And to top it off, it was by far one of the best cakes I have ever tasted!! YUM-O!! Thank you Amy!!

Gma Danelle

Gma's to be!

The family!

Andrew and I thank you all from the bottom of our hearts! XOXO

Andrew attends the Andrew Wedding

So Andrew has had quite the busy summer, celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and attending weddings and baby showers. He must be quite pooped!
He loved being apart of sharing in the wedding celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Kody Andrew...maybe it's a name thing. It was a gorgeous day down in San Diego and love certainly filled the air. Of course, Daddy had to work but we spent the day with Gma and Grandpa and crazy Uncle JJ.

Photo booth fun!

We had a surprise visit from the bride and groom!!

 Oh don't you worry, mama still got her groove on!! 8 1/2 months pregnant and all. Hopefully Andrew will inherit some of my dance moves...and maybe some of Uncle JJ's! :) 

Congratulations Meagan and Kody! We are thrilled and honored to have been apart of your special day! We wish you a lifetime filled with love and happiness!

Happy Anniversary

It's crazy to think that it was four years ago today, I was getting ready for what I thought was going to be the biggest day of my life. Kyle and I knew we would have other major milestones ahead but these don't really cross your mind when you are focusing on walking down the aisle to say "I do!" It's even crazier to think that we spent over a year preparing for our wedding day, a day that would come and go in a blink of an eye. And yet, here we are, preparing to embark on life's greatest miracle with only 9 months preparation, with an outcome that will last the rest of our lives. It's interesting to think about it that way.

Our wedding day was truly the most magical day! I loved every moment of it and I didn't believe our friends and family when they said, "enjoy it, it will go by faster than you think!" They were so right! That day was filled with love and Kyle and I were both surrounded by our most special family and friends. The day started in the early morning and before I knew it, Kyle and I were being escorted out of the venue by bubbles. Oh, what I would give to relive that day! Just being able to try on my dress and wear it again for the day...although I don't think it would fit right now if I tried it on! Mama's bump would get in the way!

The boys

The ladies

I do!

The whole family!

We did it!

Happy Anniversary Kyle! The past four years have been amazing and we have accomplished so much during our 11 years together, with our biggest accomplishment and testament of our marriage around the corner in a few short weeks! I love you!
