Under The Sea!

After my shower I was able to put together the Nursery for Tytan. Well, I didn't so much put it together. I had so much help from everyone. Randall, his mom and I painted, my mom did the wallpaper, and my dad and Randall put together the furniture. Here are a few shots of the almost finished product (I still have some white vinyl bubbles to put on the walls):

The Ultimate Shower

My Mother-in-Law hosted an incredible Baby Shower for me on Saturday. The food was scrumptious, the games were fun, and there was a huge abundance of both guests and gifts!

On the right is my wonderful Mother-in-Law. She is certainly an incredible host and made my shower so awesome. Thanks mom!

My mom was also a HUGE contributor to the success of my shower. She made some delicious food and organized the group gift. Thanks mom for all that you do!

Here's a shout out to the most incredible Sister-in-Law a girl could have! Kendra is AMAZING and planned all of the games for my shower. She had handcrafted goodies for the winners and made the shower tons of fun. My niece Jadyn was such a big help too. I'm sure Kendra couldn't have done it without her! Thanks again girls!

Finally, I would be so ungrateful if I didn't express my appreciation to all of those who contributed heavily with gifts, support, and love. Thanks to all the Aunties, Cousins, Grandparents and friends who made my shower so wonderful!

Back to the Bay

Am I the only one who has been totally oblivious to the greatness of the Bay Area, so fondly referred to by many as "The Bay!"? Prior to meeting Randall, I had no idea that anyone took such great pride in being from a certain place. Apparently being from The Bay automatically enlists you in a seriously cool club; one that I had heard so much about but never experienced. Randall had been dying to go back to his beloved Bay Area, so we made the journey out to San Jose. On this particular day we took a day trip to San Francisco and enjoyed all the goodness that Pier 39 has to offer: Mini donuts, fresh (delicious and expensive!) cherries, the chocolate shop (we even had chocolate covered potato chips!), and of course the beautiful weather. Here are a few pics of us at the Pier:
We also took the opportunity to visit the beach in Santa Cruz. It was beautiful, and ridiculously freezing. I have NEVER felt water this cold in my entire life. I mean honestly, the water caused serious pain to my flesh. For that reason, I stayed out of the water and just enjoyed the view (the crashing waves, the water for miles, and the crazy people actually getting in the water.)
