The past several months have been filled with wonderful blessings. Here are a few photos that have captured some of our recent happenings... (completely out of order, by the way... sorry)
Shauna and her sweet babe Maeve came down south to San Diego for a fabulous weekend holiday. How loved and spoiled I feel to have friends who come down to visit me! We had a weekend full of adventure... Sea World, the beach where Maeve enjoyed playing in and eating the sand and could NOT get enough time in the water, morning walks to Starbucks to begin the day, walks, play time at the park, and we even had a date out just Shauna and I, thanks to Maeve going to bed nicely and a willing baby sitter! I miss them so...
Yes, we are totally those weird people who take photos of our pet, but in our defense he's been our make-shift baby for over 5 years! So this photo may have been posed a tad, but we still thought it was funny... :)
My mom came down for the weekend just to hang out! I love her...
(I am about 21 weeks pregnant here)
Christmas morning in Ione! Here we have some brotherly love displayed.

The mandatory preggo pictures...
My cousin Amy delivered two beautiful baby girls this fall, Ryan and Riley. She could not be a better mother, and her girls could not be more adorable!
Pizza night at Shauna's where Amy took her usual role of village story teller/ human jungle gym
My Seattle girls surprised me with one of the most incredible gifts ever this past November... time with them! They planned and planned and managed to surprise me with a flight up north so that we could all have 4 days together at the beach house. Heaven. I love them and miss them terribly, and cannot express how loved this gift made me feel. Fabulous memories were made...
Stealing kisses from Bennett
Dancing was of course a part of the weekend...
12 week ultrasound! What a miraculous experience... We are already so in love with our little boy.

My favorite photo... ha!

Malibu 2010... thank you mom and dad for treating me to this weekend. What a gift! As always, Malibu offered much spiritual food for thought and encouragement, rest and relaxation, and plenty of play! Perhaps my two favorite aspects of this most recent trip were spending quality time with my mom... playing together, laughing, crying, and just being together. Second would be watching my dad as the oh-so-fabulous boat driver for the weekend, as I don't believe I've seen him relax and play that well in a very long time.
Daddy and his girls
Love you momma

In our 8+ years together, this morning marked one of the best yet... the day we found out about our new little addition on the way! Thank you Lord for this precious gift growing inside
Our Loma Linda friends gathered at a local pizza parlor to celebrate Casey's birthday last September

Happy 29th birthday to my best friend...
