Janet and Rick's Big Adventure!

Janet and Rick came out for another visit. On their "tour de Arizona" they stopped and stayed with us for a weekend. We had a ton of fun, as usual. We visited the Wildlife Zoo which was amazing because you can get so close to the animals. We went to SEVERAL different restaurants and ate our butts off... or on. We didn't skip dessert! Yum, thanks for splurging on us. Janet and I took a trip to Marshalls and got some really cute baby girl outfits. We couldn't help ourselves, the clothes are just so sweet and cute. We also went and picked out our carseats at Babiesrus. What a wonderful grandma, she bought us both the best carseat models. Chad had to have the Hot Pink Flowered one, I went with the more neutral Beige Stripes. We actually are excited to get them in our cars. Excitement comes from a whole new place now. Anyway, we really had a blast and just love having our family here. Wish we could just get you to stay!

This pic. is at Bella Restaurante, I think I squished the baby

that night with all the food in my belly.



Me and C at the Zoo looking fly.

The infamous WHITE GATOR (super small).

Zoo Pic. We all had our sun hats on and spf because it was HOT.

Feeding the giraffes was definately a highlight of the zoo trip!

Check out our living room!

I recently found this sectional on Craigslist and decided to get it before the baby so we have more sofa space. We are selling our set and will pretty much break even. As most of you know, I love Craigslist. This couch was from a very wealthy family and it was a steal! I was so excited about our deal and new look that I had to share. See you all soon!

UPDATE: Here is my belly pic. and baby pic.

Here are some ultrasound pics. The babys right arm is up by her face. You can see her little nose and sweet little belly. I can't wait until she is here. She has been kicking like crazy and I love seeing her move in my belly, its most surreal. These pics. are from May 2008.

Hot Mama right?!

Tiffany's Trip Home to Cleveland!

Ah ha Erin! You look so pretty...

Loved the cheese plate!

Nuevo....yum.

The in-laws:)

I had so little time and so many people to see. I stayed with Alitia and her 3 boys, they were very gracious having me. A little chaotic, but I guess that is what I have to look forward to next! I loved being able to see most everyone and spend time catching up. Cleveland hasn't changed much, so needless to say, I miss the the people not the place.

I got to eat with my in-laws at the Hunter house, shop and chow down again later at one of our favorite places (Brio), love their lobster bisc! Thank you Janet and family for such a wonderful day.

I got to shop for maternity clothes with my fabulous Mom, and of course she went crazy at the store with me watching me try on everything. It was super fun. Nancy Twingstrom met us at the mall that day and had her first Starbucks, she loved it. We also managed to slip in some thrifting time and a trip to the Olive Garden to finally use her gift certificate. Just spending time relaxing at the Twingstom house was very comforting and I loved hanging out with Mom/Dad and all the kids (dogs).

Me and the girls had a traditional Nuevo fiesta and it was a blast. We celebrated Kerry's birthday and got to have the best mexican food ever. Crissy always seemed super entertained by our antics and gets sucked in for extra drinks every time. Everyone ate and of course drank up the Margaritas. I wasn't able to have my tequila shots, but it was still a party. I wish I could move everyone out here so we could do that once a week. Tammy and Trish visited me at Alitias and it was great catching up with them. Tammy had some motherly advice since she has been at it the longest. Mandy, Erin and Jessisca managed to make it over too and we had a fabulous wine & cheese plate night. Good thing I stopped Alitia from throwing bananas in the kitchen ceiling fan....

Anyway, many wonderful memories made and I love you all! Thanks for the good times and I cant' wait to see everyone at the baby shower.
