Salinas Baby Shower

The baby shower was a lot of fun. With the help of my mom and interest (haha) We pulled off a great shower. It was fun to talk to all my friends and family and get advice or sympathy on being pregnant. It makes me so happy to know that this little girl who will be here in 10 weeks is already so loved by so many. 

Banner inspired from interest of course

Yummy pink treats & chocolate zucchini cake

Tissue paper flowers, so cute and cheap!

Beautiful scrapbook from my high school coach and friend Monica. She pre made pages that I will be able to insert pictures into once the baby is here. There were also a few pages with pictures of us from high school. So awesome!

All of the baby stuff is so cute

Grammie crocheted a beautiful blanket. I still have the baby blanket she made for me when I was born. The only reason why is retired it was because I got married, otherwise I would still be sleeping with it lol. 

A few of the wonderful ladies at the shower. Cousin Kelli, Monica and her daughter Bella, Alyssa (teammate from college) Tina (friends since first grade), Lynsie(sister in law). There were a few more here including grammie, Aunt Cathy, Aunt Trudy, and Lisa

Thanks to everyone for coming!!!!

Christmas Vacation

Jared and I made the long drive to Salinas for Christmas. We were smart and decided to split the drive into two days, staying the night in Reno on the way there and Vegas on the way home. The weather was perfect throughout the whole trip, it didn't feel like winter. We stopped by the Reno temple and the Sacramento temple on the way to Salinas. It was great to go back the the Sacramento temple, we hadn't been there since the day we got married, and lets be honest that day was a total blur. Jared was working from my parents house the first few days we were there, and my mom and I were getting last minute details in place for the baby shower. The baby shower was great, all the food came out so good, and it was so nice to see friends and family. After getting baby gifts it made me think I should be home getting the nursery together "nesting" lol. While home we relaxed, went to the beach, hung out with friends, went to the Oakland Temple, and we were entertained by Roxie and Rosie the grand-dogs. We are excited to be home, in our own bed and we are in the final countdown until the baby comes. 10 weeks left!!!!!!
