Go here to see some amazing photos of our precious little boy....and to see an amazing photographer!

My best friend Deena (Orchard) Taylor threw me a baby shower for high school friends and my soccer girls. She and her mom definitely went out of their way....they know how to throw a good party! Deen and I are both pregnant with boys. I am due March 6th, 2010 and Deen is due May 5th, 2010. It is very special being pregnant with Deen. Our moms were friends when they were pregnant with the two of us. How appropriate huh. 

Could I be any shorter? :)

BABY SHOWERS!

My sister n laws, Emily and Janet, and my sister Courtney threw an amazing baby shower for me. This baby shower was for all the women in my ward. I have to give a special thanks to Em. She worked so hard. Emily always puts 100% into everything she does. It was such a fun party. I was also overwhelmed with the generosity of everyone who came. Thank you all!

Emily, Courtney and Janet sure went out of their way to make sure everyone was well fed! It was all so delicious! Love you guys~I can't thank you enough!

Christmas Eve and Morning 09'

Christmas Eve

I remember when I was younger the tradition of reading the story of Christ's birth in Luke Ch. 2 seemed so long before we could open our gift....looks like Drew is having that same problem!

I could not resist these little elephant PJs for Dane. Since he is not here to open them yet...I gave them to Brad!

Kelson's Christmas Party

 Our good friends Kyle and Malaena hosted a Christmas party this year and it was so much fun! It was suppose to be a tacky Christmas sweater party, however, we all had a hard time finding one......other than Deen. Leave it up to her mom DeeAnn to pull through! Loved it Deen!

Malaena and I

Look at that belly! (29 weeks)

Maybe the reason why my back is KILLING me!

Friends!

Over the Thanksgiving break I got together with some of my favorite people. As we were out to lunch Steph told us she was pregnant! How FUN! Deen, Steph and I have been best friends since we were very young. All of our moms were friends when they were pregnant.....and now the three of us are following in their footsteps! How fitting. Love you guys!
