Crafty Me!

Since we're going to have two little girls in the house the number of hair bows and headbands is surely going to double. With that in mind I set out for something to keep them all organized. It's my first craft as a new mom and...I think I'm going to keep it up!

37 Weeks and Counting!

It's hard to believe the time is almost here! After 9 MONTHS I'm ready to meet our precious little one! The nursery is complete, her car seat is in the car and our hospital bags are packed. Now it's just a waiting game...

Here are a few pictures of the nursery. It was so fun to decorate! Daddy did the painting of course but the girly stuff was left to me.

She is one lucky girl and we can't wait to see her!

Before Baby...ROXY!

A few months ago we decided to get a new puppy. After lots of internet searching, two trips to the animal shelter and a family discussion we found her!

Meet Roxy!

Our first couple of months with this pup have been quite fun!

Mr. Froggie...let's just say he's already had to be replaced!

She loves the bath

A dog after my own heart...she loves purses! (lets just hope she doesn't use them as chew toys!)

and when we aren't watching....our bed is quite comfy!

Emery's Baby Shower

Grandma Tauni threw us a wonderful baby shower in California! We headed out the night before to my parents house ...little did I know the decorations, fun and oh so cute baby stuff that awaited us!

32 Weeks!

Proud Grandpa and Grandma

My absolute favorite...the diaper cake!

Grandma made this herself!

(it's so cute I just can't take it apart)

The cake table

It was so fun to have everyone come (despite the pouring down rain!)...old and new friends and even Grandma Joyce from Arizona was there.

Proud Grandma's

Leslie and Kathy came from Phoenix too!

Leslie, me and Denise

Dolores and Sandy

I love this lady!

The cake was delicious and the presents overwhelming...Emery will be stylin' with all her adorable new clothes and toys!

Nana gave us her crib set...I was dying for this!!

Grandma and Grandma got us the stroller and carrier..yeah!!

We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends! Thank you mom for a beautiful shower, Emery will be so lucky to call you Grandma!

Happy New Year!

Wow! It's already the second day of 2010, I can't believe it. My resolution is to keep our blog current so that we can share all of our exciting news.

I thought it would only be fair to do a quick rewind of 2009 considering the many events that have happened in the last 6 months (which highlights my laziness to keep you all updated!).

As you already know Nathan and I got engaged on June 7. On July 20 we decided to make it official and were married in a small ceremony in Phoenix, AZ. We are still planning a wedding in August of 2010 so look forward to a formal celebration!

I FINALLY finished my master's degree from National University! This day was long awaited and I'm so glad to be done!




But our biggest news of all was that our little family would continue to grow...



Baby Emery is due February 9 2010...(yes as in next month!)

We are so excited and have been incredibly blessed...we can only imagine the joy this year will bring for us!!

Catching up!

Okay I'm guilty...I've been too busy to keep everyone updated on all the exciting things that are going on! Don't worry that's changing as of now. Expect a few posts in the next few days and I promise it will be worth it...:)

Just the Beginning...

There's a lot of change taking place in my (OUR!!) life so I thought this would be a great time to share in our news, happiness, and fun! Just to catch up...I've lived in Arizona for three years (time sure does fly!) and I recently completed my Master's degree in Human Behavior. It's been a hectic few years but things are finally settling...

I've decided to stay in Arizona and here's why... Nathan and I are engaged.

So Beautiful!!

He proposed last weekend, it couldn't have been more perfect! We have lots of planning to do and so much is to come! This is just the beginning...
