It's been awhile!!!

It has been quite some time since my last post!! I guess my life has been nonstop and when I finally get a moment to sit down, it seems as though i just want to relax. I will try and make more of an effort from here on out! A lot has happened since my last posting! Bibi and I went to Crested Butte with our friends, the smiths- such a great trip! Was by far one of the best trips to Colorado that we've had! We went to CB for a couple of days and then went to the ranch for a few days and spent a day in Aspen! We took the newest member of our family- the Sequoia- bibi found a great deal up in northern California so we bought him a plane ticket one Saturday morning and he test drove it from the airport to the Toyota dealership and loved it. That evening, he arrived with our new car! It is probably 2x bigger than the Mini! It was great to talke to CO - we all switched driving and watching movies in the back seat- so fun!! We finally sold the mini last week to a little Chinese woman who had never du en in the US and didn't even know what the "d" or "r" stood for (drive & reverse). Hopefully it will be a good car for her though. When we sold the mini it was the first time in my life where i felt like I am getting old! No more zipping around fast in my mini- I am officially a mother driving a huge mama/soccer car!! We are belssed to have such a great car to start our family phase of life. Here are some pictures of CO

Busy bee!

It has been a busy few weeks!! The past two weekends, I've been out of town. Last weekend, I went to Vegas for my friend, Andrea's bachelorette party. It was a funny feeling being in Vegas while pregnant, but I did well! We stayed at the palms place and had a huge apartment type room and another adjoining room - it was quite the set-up! We went out to dinner, went to a couple clubs, cooked breakfast, laid by the pool, and stayed out until 2am! Below are some pictures.

Say good bye to our mini - my little cupcake and welcome the new addition to our family!


Last Friday night, weekend of 4th of July, Bibi let me know that he found a car for our growing family. It was in northern California. The solution? We bought a one way ticket up north, the dealership picked Bibi up in the car from the airport and he test drove it back to the dealership. It turned out to be the perfect car for us. Bibi sealed the deal and drove the car home Saturday day. I love it.





Happy Fourth of July!!!



I've always wanted these little flag banners hanging from the fence- I was so excited to put them up!



Just a little festive decorations inside.

Fun festivities on the Ranch.


I registered this weekend too!! It was a lot of work. It requires a lot of research and took a lot of time- 3 hours to be exact at Babies R Us. We didn't even make it to Target!!! Thanks Daniela for sticking with me!! It was super exciting, but very exhausting afterward. So I am registered at Babies R Us, target and www.laylagrayce.com. I am still working on completing those registries. Have fun looking!! I also included some ideas for my baby room- just for fun!!



I love this Little framed baby announcement. I want one and am trying to figure out where to get one like this - so if you know- please share!!
