Been a crazy couple of months.

Things have been crazy around here so I haven't posted anything in a while. We welcomed our perfect little baby boy into the world on August 21st and have been completely taken over by him ever since. Pictures and more to come shortly!!!

"Gigi girls" Graduation

We brought home a puppy back in February. She is an all black chihuahua /terrior mix. She has the best little personality and loves everyone. She isn't even a year yet and is quite hyper still. Throughout the summer she has been going to puppy training classes and a few weeks ago she graduated! She did very well in her classes and has improved at home too. She still has a few things to work on but overall we are very happy with the outcome. She is our sweet "Gigi girls". She loves to go over to my parents house and "play" with their yorkie. I say "play" because she thinks they are playing but he is really running away from her. He is a older and doesn't want to be bothered by her. She loves men and is a little flirt. Her favorite men are my dad, Clayton, our friend Dave and our friend Sean.

She has strong maternal instincts. She has a collection of "babies" (little stuffed animals), and she carries them around everywhere and bathes them at night then puts them in her bed with her. It is the cutest thing ever. On the 4th of July she didn't get scared of the fireworks but my parent's dog did. Gigi spent the evening trying to console him by staying close and licking him. A while ago we rescued a kitten and her motherly side came out yet again. She spent the entire weekend bathing the kitten and carrying it in her mouth. She was sad when we gave the kitten away, but I can't do a puppy, kitten, and a baby all at the same time. She is such a sweetheart!

Baby Shower 7/18/09

My cousin Randelle, my mom and sisters threw me a very nice shower. They put a lot of hard work into it. Everything was great! The food was amazing and the games were a lot of fun!

Cardon isn't even born yet and he is the most spoiled baby on earth!

Thanks to all who came and had a good time.

Family Pictures

We actually took these about a month and a half ago.

I'm just a slacker when it comes to posting things on the blog.

Clayton's 30th Birthday Party!!!

For Clayton's 30th Birthday we decided to invite some family and friends over for swimming and food. It was really fun and we had a great turn out. We were a little nervous about the weather since it hasn't been as hot as usual in Vegas for this time of year. It had been windy for a few days but we were blessed to have the sun come out and the wind stop for the hours of the party.

For the food we had pulled pork sandwiches, broccoli salad, 7 layer bean dip, and fruit kabobs. I made the pork for the first time ever and it turned out!! The cake was a little more complicated.... Clayton had told me that he wanted a chocolate cake with whipped chocolate frosting so I called Sam's Club and placed an order for a full sheet cake. When I got there to pick it up they told me that there was a problem and the cake wasn't exactly as I had ordered it. They then pulled out a small white cake with white frosting!!!! The worst part is that they expected me to take it and pay for it!! I couldn't believe it. Less than an hour until the party starts and I have no cake. They could tell I was very upset and somehow fixed my order and we got the right cake just in time. Boy was it worth it... Yummy!!!

Thank you to all who came and had a blast with us.

Trip to Santa Maria, CA

We recently went to Santa Maria, Ca for Memorial Day Weekend.  Clayton was born there and spent much of his childhood there.  While there we were able to spend time with his brother's family.  They just had a precious little girl named Gracie.  We were also able to spend some time at the beach.  It was so beautiful! We had fun writing Cardon's name in the sand.  

Baby Pictures

We had an ultrasound done on April 10th.  We're a little late posting the pictures but hey...  

Our little man is quite the mover and shaker.  He made it very difficult to see that he is in fact a BOY!!!!  We couldn't be happier.  We've decided to name him Cardon.  His due date is September 2nd.  We can't wait until he comes.  We've been busy since the ultrasound with nursery projects and of course shopping for the cutest baby boy things.
