My 27th Birthday

Today was my 27th birthday.

Due to all of the graduations, weddings and parties lately it was fairly laid back....

which was perfect! I am starting to feel a little partied out!

I went to lunch with Stacy's mom and all of the girls from the lab. Stacy unfortunately had to work so when I got off of work Tegan and I went to dinner with my mom, step-dad and sister Jewels.

Tegan loved his ice cream.



Tegan started to get a little fidgety so Jewels took him outside while we were getting our things together. When we went outside this is how we found them.
I thought they looked so sweet!

I came home to beautiful flowers once again from my Hunny!

He is always so thoughtful!!!

My Bridal Shower

Saturday was my bridal shower.

My sister, Jessica and my mom hosted it at my parents house. It is a little scary that the shower has already came and gone....

now the countdown to the BIG DAY begins.

Everything was so beautiful.
My sister Jewels is such a good artist.
She made a lovely Welcome Bride to Be sign.

My step-dad made a wonderful homemade carrot cake.
Thanks you everyone for the wonderful gifts!

And of course we played some VERY fun games. For one of the games Katie had asked Stacy some questions and I had to see if I could get them correct. If I got them wrong then I had to put a piece of sour bubble gum in my mouth and leave it in my mouth until the end.
My first piece of bubble gum.By the end I was starting to not feel so hot!

I think Stacy did not tell the truth on some of the questions.



Shannon made me a super cute bride outfit for the day of the wedding.

Another Bride shirt.....

Everyone in the bridal party...except for my friend Kendra who lives in California.

I just noticed that I am the only one without blonde hair!!!!!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for my beautiful shower!!!

It was so much fun!

Hard at Work

We have an apple tree in our back yard which I always thought I would love. It is actually really obnoxious because the birds get to the apples before you can pick them or they fall all over the backyard. The other night Tegan started picking up the apples and putting them in his swimming pool. Stacy has to pick up the apples at least once a week so that he can mow the lawn. When we saw what Tegan was doing Stacy decided to grab him a bucket and put him to work.He was completely into it for 20 minutes! I guess it was a good way to get two things done at once. Maybe when he is older and gets mad because one of his chores is picking up the apples we can show him this video so he can see that he used to enjoy it!!!

Tegan looked exhausted by dinner time.

Happy Birthday Kayden

On Sunday Tegan and I were invited to Kayden's 1st birthday in Colorado Springs. We were very excited to go, since we never get to see them now that they moved!!! It is hard to believe that Kayden is already one! It seems like just yesterday when I was on my way to the hospital to watch him come into the world! For some reason Tegan loved this stool.
Tegan and Kayden playing with a "manly" football!

The kids enjoyed corn dogs and fruit at the picnic table.
Kendal had a little melt down about sharing her bike.
Soooo Sad!
Tegan, Estella, Kendal and Kayden.

Everything was themed around baseball and there was even a baseball pinata.

It did not take Tegan long to figure out what he was supposed to do.
There were very fun baseball whistles, stickers, pencils and other things in the pinata

Shannon made a homemade Baseball cake!

Great job Shannon!

Kayden digging in.



Tegan enjoyed his yummy baseball cupcake. I think Kayden enjoyed his cake also.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAYDEN

THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TO YOUR PARTY!!!!!

IT'S OFFICIAL I have my MSW!!!

So I know I have not posted pictures for a few weeks but I really do have a few excuses.

In the last few weeks we were in a wedding, a friend had a baby, I started a new job, I got a new camera and did not know how to download the pictures and I GRADUATED!!!!! I still am in shock that I am done with school and I think it will take a while to seem real.At first I was not going to participate in the actual graduation.

But then I decided that after 70 12 page papers I should really go to the graduation.Jeff and I after the graduation.

Happy to have the graduation attire off!!!

Now I guess it time to focus on planning a wedding!
Thank you so much for everyone's support over the last year. I know I got a little stressed sometimes but at least it is over. Now there are no more papers to listen to or proofread!!!
Thanks again Sumer (aka the MSW)
