Sprinkled With Love...LOTS OF LOVE!!!

I couldn't feel more blessed and more loved than I did this past Saturday when my amazing friends Lindsey, Jami and Tanya hosted a beautiful "baby sprinkle" for me and baby girl #2!!!

Seeing so many of my close friends come out to celebrate just reminded me how lucky I am to have such a great support group and such a loving circle of friends!  What else can a girl ask for?!  And to know that I have so many moms to turn to for advice who already have two kids is an added bonus!!

The "baby sprinkle" was just perfect with the right amount of decorations, yummy desserts, fun games, girliness, and good friends.  It was truly a special day as I get ready to bring another precious baby into this world.

Thank you to all who came and all who helped put it together!!
I definitely feel VERY "sprinkled with love!"

It's Gymnastics Time!!

When Cammy turned two she got some birthday money to put towards gymnastics (or something fun that she can participate in).  We were so excited to get her started in some sort of class and see how she did.

We decided to have her do gymnastics at a fun place in Mukilteo called Gymagine.  We talked two of her friends into doing it with us as well to make it an even extra special activity.

Cammy's first class was Saturday, Nov. 2nd and she did GREAT!!!  She seemed to be engaged most of the class and tried all the activities that she was asked to do by "Coach Connor".

We look forward to having this to keep us busy on Saturday mornings through the rest of the year (especially once baby is here and the attention isn't all on Cammy anymore)!

Happy Halloween 2013

Halloween takes on a whole new meaning with a two year old!!!  She picked her costume (with a few suggestions from mom and dad of course), first wanting to be Tinkerbell and then changing her mind last minute to Cinderella, she learned how to say "trick-or-treat" and learned how to eat a LOT of candy in one day!!!

Halloween day was nothing short of fun!  We started it off with a Halloween themed Stroller Strides class where the kiddos dressed up and did "stroller trick-or-treating."

We then ended our day with trick-or-treating in the Mill Creek Town Center for their "Treats on Main Street" event that we enjoyed doing last year.  Cammy thoroughly enjoyed getting candy and attempting to open each piece everytime she got one.  Parent fail...we did dinner after trick-or-treating and by then our sweet little Cinderella was pretty sugared up from all the candy we couldn't stop her from eating.  Lesson learned...always eat dinner before taking the kids out!

We loved how she just held her arm up for people to put candy in her basket for her :)

We ended our night of trick-or-treating by stopping by our friends' house (Nick and Lindsey), which is always a fun little visit...especially for Cammy and her "auntie Nono".

Happy Halloween!!

Maternity/Family Photos

We wanted a way to document Cammy turning 2, our family going from 3 to 4 and also just get some good family photos.  We went back to our amazing photographer (who did Cammy's 6 month and 1 year photos), Kristin Harris, and had her get some special pictures of our family.  She never seems to disappoint on her location choices and this time was no different.  She picked the most AMAZING tree nursery with the most STUNNING fall colors.  Here are just a few of our favorites...
