2.  something pretty from this shop 

3.  but more than anything???  for my sweet baby boy to come :)  

the most gorgeous baby shower

I have the best friends a girl could ask for.  They are such a blessing in my life and I am so thankful for each of them.

Beth, Lindy, and Jessie threw me the most gorgeous baby shower ever.  I cried from the second I walked up to the door and it just kept flowing.  Just look at the pictures below and you'll see why.

Aren't these girls seriously AMAZING?!?!  They made pretty much all you see there.  It was a magical day - one that I'll never forget!

Jessie, Beth, and Lindy - Thank you for making me feel so loved and special.  Love you girls!

thanks

Here's a little thank you card I whipped up.  Gotta love washi tape.

4th of July.. a little late

Hi everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful 4th!  Here are a few pictures from our annual picnic at the Rose Bowl.

flannel burpies

I made some flannel burpies for Lindy's shower awhile back.

Now I just need to make some for me!

Happy weekend everyone! :)

portland day 2

It's been awhile since we were in Portland but it's so fun to look back at the pictures.

On our second day there, we woke up and had a wonderful breakfast.  Then we went to the Saturday Market.

It was located by the river and these beautiful trees were all in bloom.

The view from across the bridge.

I guess I was feeling maternal because I took so many pictures of these ducks and ducklings.

Then off we went to Multnomah Falls.  Beautiful!!  This was a stop on the way there.

And one of the smaller falls near Multnomah.  We couldn't believe how close all of this was to the city.  

We had such a wonderful trip.  It was so much fun to be together and dream about our little boy.  Speaking of which, he is due to arrive in less than 3 months!!  I started the third trimester this weekend.... hard to believe!  Our lives are going to change dramatically in 12 weeks (give or take) and we can't wait!!  

portland day 1

Man - I feel like I have so much to catch you all up on!  Well, Matt and I found out we are having a BOY! We are so excited and can't wait to welcome him into the world in a few months.  Craziness.

We decided to go on a a babymoon to Portland over my spring break.  It is a beautiful, creative, quaint place.  We loved it.  Here are a few pictures of the first day there.

The trees were gorgeous.  They were blooming and just spectacular.

Portland has an abundance of 3 things: pizza restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries.  Matt was excited to try out all the local beer.  He was really anticipating going to Rogue Ales but they wouldn't serve him b/c his drivers license was expired...even though he had a temporary.

Matt drinking beer at the wonderful Cafe Nell - my favorite restaurant of the trip.

Me before we went to the Kennedy School - an old school that was turned into a bar/restaurant/movie theater/hotel.  It was pretty great.
