Baby Shower!

Hello everyone :0) ive finally finished being lazy recovered enough to blog about my recent trip to my hometown (Bakersfield) for my baby shower! After the grueling 6hour drive it was nice to sit back and relax with my family..my sister treated my mom and i to pedicures {i hadnt had one since i was in beauty school..i felt bad for my lady! ;0)

Heres the finished product..well worth the pain of getting my skin filed off and stabbed multiple times in the toe! LOL Oh, and mine are the big puffy prego feet if youre wondering ;0)

*Random thought: I read somewhere that your feet actually get bigger during pregnancy sometimes..that worries me a little considering im already a size 10! Yikes!
My shower was on Saturday {the 6th} and i was pleased that lots of old friends and familiar faces showed up to support me ♥ It was so fun to visit with everyone! We ate yummy food and played some fun games! Here are some pics from the day...and for some reason, my moms camera took crappy fuzzy pictures so i apologize!

..playing a nursery rhyme game :0)

My Grandma and seesters ♥

Opening presents...i got tons of good stuff a.k.a 'loot' and little Easton will definitely be well dressed ;0)

Thank you everyone for coming to my shower and for your support ♥

That night i went to an old friends wedding reception..it was beautiful..and so was the bride :0) I got to see a bunch of people that i havent seen in a long time so it was fun to catch up! The next couple days were spent just 'chillin' with family..here i am giving my sister a hair cutting 'lesson'..her husband Jacob was such a good model ;0)

Heres a couple of my neices ♥

here we are out for icecream ♥

The next morning i headed back home to see my hubby that i 'abandoned' for 5 days..its good to know that i was missed ♥ I always have such a good time with my family! Thanks for everything!

New Memories

SO..i had a blast visiting with my mom and seesters! We did all sorts of things and it was great spending some quality time with a few of my favorite people ♥ We went to see my sister Tanya and her little family in Oregon and lucked out on the weather...it was beautiful! We spent the day at Newport beach...here are some random pics from that day..good times!
Newport Beach!

{...Dont ask}...i realize we all look quite hideous in this pic, but it was too hilarious not to post! :0)

Me and my beautiful momma :0)

On the pier..
While we were in Oregon, my gradparents came down to see us for the day!..it was so good to spend some time with them..i hadnt seen them since my wedding so it was a treat! We chatted and played cards all day...good times!
Me, my mom and grandma Bigelow ♥
The crew ;0)
being silly...what we do best ;0)


I was sad to see my grandparents go but so glad that we got to hang out with them a little! The rest of our visit was spent shopping, herding children around, playing games, watching lame chick flicks and laughing...lots of laughing! :0) After our visit in Oregon we came back to some not so good weather in NorCal..it was nice to see my hubby when i got home though! I think this was the longest time that we've been apart! We went out to dinner at our favorite restaurant here and played card games all night. We even attempted making home made ice cream and it was a success! {my grandparents recipe}..SO yummy!

I also taught my sister Tara how to make some metal stamped jewelry..good times :0)

I love spending time with my family and wish they lived closer to me! Anywho, it was sad to see them go but im so glad we got to make some new memories together that we will cherish forever ♥
The End ♥

Road Trippin'

Today my mom and my sister Tara are coming up for a visit! I ♥ visitors! Then we are all driving to Oregon to visit my sis Tanya!...Gotta love road trips..this should be an adventure ;0) Here is an oldie but goody pic of us girls when we were little ♥


Gotta love old pics ;0) Oh, and im having a bridal baby shower on March 6th!...you are welcome to come! Give me your address if you want to join us! :0)

What a DEAL!

So, Im gunna let you in on a little secret...Utter Covers is having a special where if you buy one of their supercute nursing cover packages and enter in the code: VALENTINE at checkout, it only costs you FIVE bucks plus shipping!...AWESOME! These things are usually $32 plus shipping! Ya gotta love a good bargain ;0)
I bought this one for myself..i ♥ the pattern! Its not very 'boyish' but im sure little Easton wont mind ;0)

So if you or someone you know is having a wee one, you should take advantage of it because it ends March 1st!
P.S...i never thought id get excited about nursing covers! LOL
P.S.S...i plan on learning how to make these myself eventually so i can give them as gifts! But FIRST, i must learn how to use my sewing machine! ;0)

Happy Valentines Day ♥

Im A-Okay!

Hello friends :0) For those of you who are wondering how im doing (and are very sweet by the way ♥) I am happy to report that im doing just fine :0) The doctors cant really figure out what is causing the contractions/cramps but the baby is doing great, im not in labor...yet, and Easton is having fun playing soccer in my stomach ;0) Im still in pain every now and then but i can deal with it as long as its not hurting my baby boy! (which im told it isnt.) Pregnancy is/can be a scary thing...especially when you have no idea what is going on with your own body! It is also an awesome adventure! I am getting a huge bump (dont worry, i will take pics soon) and people are actually starting to notice that im pregnant..which is fun! People are so much nicer to you when you are preggers ;0) Anywho, for those of you who care, i just wanted to let you know that im good! Have a fabulous day! ♥
