Catching up!

I definitely have some catching up to....haven't been in the blogging mood lately. I think all this cold winter weather just makes me want to snuggle up on the couch when I get home from work lately. I am soooo happy that the sun is shining this week and it's been getting up into the 60's. I am so READY for Spring to get here. Can't wait!

Here are some of the things we had going on in January:
Taryn, Laura and I hosted a diaper shower for Kristen at my house to help them get ready for Kynlee Grace. Kynlee was born on Sunday, January 24th and she and mom are great! She weighed 7lbs I think. Here are a few pics from the diaper shower and of Kynlee.

Then, the following Sunday my cousin Scarlett had her baby shower. I wasn't sure if I would be able to go or not, but I last minute ended up taking the day off work and went. I am so glad I did! Stella was supposed to arrive on March 4th, but she decided to come early! Scarlett had an emergency C-Section on Friday, February 4th. All is well and Stella and Scarlett are both home now. Stella weighed 5 lbs and had to spend one week in the NICU, but last Saturday she got to go home. I am so happy for Scarlett and Jordan that their sweet bundle of joy is here! Here are some pics from Scarlett and Jordan's baby shower.

I've mentioned before how tall my mom's side of the family is...these are cousins and the only shorty other than me is Rachel, my cousin's wife :)  (And I have heels on!)

Also this month, we celebrated my 29th birthday. Jon took the day off with me and we had a great time. We have a silly tradition from growing up where on our birthday, mom would let us pick out a box of sweet cereal since normally honey nut cheerios was as sweet as we were allowed :) What's funny is that my sister and I both still buy a box of sweet cereal for ourselves on our birthday, so you can see in the pic below Jon had it all set out and ready to go when I woke up!

We walked the dog, played some Wii, had lunch at Hula Hut, got me some new running shoes at RunTex, went to a movie and then had dinner at Olive Garden. It was a great birthday!! And THEN when we got home from dinner I was SHOCKED to find my mother parked in front of our house! She had driven in to surprise me and spend the night and hang with me the next day! It was such a fun surprise and I had absolutely no clue she was coming. Thanks Mom!

A few of our other friends also have January birthdays, so we all got together the next night for Pizza and Double Dave's. I didn't get pictures of everyone, but here are a few.

Phew....that was a lot of catching up!
