My Baby Shower!

This past Saturday I was lucky enough to have my wonderful sister throw me a baby shower! It was so fun! It was so great to share my excitement of becoming a mother with so many family members and friends. My sisters and mom worked so hard on the food and everything turned out great. Ange even made miniature cupcakes and named them "Baby DJ's Babycakes". Super cute! I had a blast opening up so many adorable and hilarious clothes for my baby boy! I just can't wait to dress him up everyday... even when it is 2-3 times a day. :) Thanks to everyone who was able to make it to the shower and for all the love and support we've been given by our family and friends all over this beautiful country.

30 Weeks!!!

Hooray! I am officially in the 30's... weeks that is. (Not that the age of 30 is bad, but I am certainly enjoying only being halfway through my 20's. hehe) I had my most recent doctor's appointment last Wednesday and everything is great! Our little David is measuring right where he should be and his heartbeat is very strong and loud. Even though we are still 10 weeks away from our calling of parenthood, we had a blast putting together a little "nursery" in our apartment. (The term nursery is used loosely, as it is actually supposed to be our dining room.) James put together our new crib and I washed all the baby clothes we have gotten and put them in our Rubbermaid dresser drawers. Fun, fun, fun!

Old-fashioned country Christmas

Hello everyone! I know I should be fired from the blog world for my month long absence, but I really will try to do better. I'll just use my pregnant status as the reason for my forgetfulness.

So, our second Christmas as a married couple was wonderful! We spent the holiday with James' family at their beautiful lake house in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho. It was so quiet and isolated... just what the doctor ordered. We got to visit all of James' immediate family in addition to his lovable Grandmama, aunt, uncle and their 3 kids. It was a weekend full of good food, Christmas movies, snow angels, lots of games and even more laughs. I even played my first game of Shuffleboard... which James & I won! Ah, good times! It was fun to chat with the family and reminisce about James' mom. We certainly missed her this Christmas, but it was good to talk about her with family.

Our New Year's celebration was pretty low-key, but still fun. We spent the evening with our good friends Jasen & Reggie Chandler here in Cedar City. We hung out at their house, watched movies and ate lots of junk food! Ah, the joy of holiday binges! :) We rang in the New Year with good friends and a good kiss! It was the perfect start to an exciting upcoming year for us.

We hope you all had a great holiday season and were able to spend it with good friends and family too. We love you all!
