Being Welcomed to the Circus of Motherhood!

Have I mentioned what awesome friends I have? It's true! And this weekend's special shout out goes to Elle and Anne for hosting such a memorable, adorable, and utterly thoughtful baby shower for me and baby.

Joined by several of my closest friends, we spent Sunday afternoon hanging out, playing games, opening gifts, and munching on circus style food! Thank you again to everyone who was able to join me on this very special day.

Elle made this from Styrofoam backing and tissue paper...awesome!

Interested in buying one? Contact Elle for details!

Yep, I'm pregnant alright!

Adorable diaper cake made by Taryn! And she filled it with a bunch of registry items!

Anne is due October 7th!!
We can't wait for our little ones to become great friends... or maybe husband and wife?! :)

The Aunties!

.... and I would be remiss not to mention the party taking a turn once the boys got back. Dragging Kevin away from Andrew's motorcycle proved near impossible....

Thanks again ladies... love you all!

Minnie

I knew this would be a hard post to write, so I've been putting it off. On Monday morning, we said goodbye to Minnie. After months of weight loss I brought her into the vet early this week.

The vet determined she was suffering from late-stage hyperthyroidism and her kidneys were shutting down. It was a painful assessment; why I didn't notice it earlier and help her?

Minnie, You were the first piece to my "own" family. I remember vividly the day I got you. It was my 21st birthday and Rebecca and Steph came over bearing a gift (more specifically, a brown grocery bag). I opened it and looked inside; there you were,...

Lake Wenatchee

Happy Birthday, Kevin! We spent an awesome 4 days on Lake Wenatchee this past weekend; relaxing by the lake, (attempting) to fish, playing in the water, and enjoying quality time together as a family. Our parents joined us on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Kevin's birthday; a wonderful day full of family, food, and the great outdoors. Weekend highlights include Fish Lake on Friday (Abigail and i will not be invited back for the next fishing adventure...we may have mangled the line more than once), a trip into Leavenworth for pizza and dancing at the gazebo, a steak feast for Kevin's birthday, and relaxing by the bonfire that evening. Here are some pictures of our trip. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle While Kevin fished, Abigail and I fed Parmesan garlic pita chips to the ducks. At one point, we had a crowd of 10! Ladies of leisure on the lake :) This sums up our fishing experience... Thursday evening f...
