Lest weekend we celebrated Jess! We had such a great time, we went to the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine. We went to dinner, then went back to the room and had a lingerie party, then headed to the club. Yes I went to the club preggo, it was an adventure for sure, being the only sober person, surrounded by crazies. Cricket started to kick as soon as I walked in, she was keeping the beat to the tunes. There was an 80's cover band, the Spazmatics. They were great and very entertaining.  Most importantly Jess had a great time and we had a lot to laugh about the next morning.

This was Colton the following Sunday on our way to church. I love him so much and cannot believe how big he is getting. It's scary how much he looks like me, but he is such a boy and makes a lot of facial expressions that look like his daddy. He is talking a ton, I can't get him to sit down to watch a show, he loves to play with his kitchen and talk on his phone. He is still a great sleeper, 9-9 and takes a 3 hour nap during the day (AMEN)!! He is the ring bearer this weekend in Jess and Jeff's wedding, so fingers crossed he makes it down the aisle with out throwing a fit, or freaking out. It will be interesting to see how he reacts.

Have a great week!

Cricket's Room

We have started to put together the baby's room. I wanted to get it all done before my sisters wedding this weekend since we were going to be having family over, so here is what we have thus far. The dresser is from Chaz's family ranch. Its not done, I have another coat I  want to add to make it look a little more distressed, but I love having an antique piece in her room, it's very girly. I think Colton is starting to catch on a little because whenever we leave his room he turns to look at crickets room and says "bye baby room". 

One of my friends from my Mom's play group printed this off for me, I thought it was precious and matched perfectly. I framed it the other day and hung it, it looks great. 

Here is her bed, it's the crib I originally wanted when I got pregnant with Colton. It's an off white color and converts into a full size bed. I love everything about it and the bedding. I had Colton's old changing table repainted to match her crib. The stripes are painted in the little nook that her crib sits in and the rest of the room is pink. It's all coming together, and it's really exciting and nerve racking at the same time knowing that she will be here in less then 4 months. Trying to comprehend that I am going to have 2 children. I figured I will learn to manage somehow...don't really have a choice!

Major slacker....

Sorry I have been MIA.... I know many of you have been sitting on the edge of your seats waiting for an updated blog post (ha), so here it goes.

1. We are pregnant!
2. We're having a girl, now known as cricket, until further notice.
3. Colton will be 2 tomorrow

Geez, a bunch of other stuff has happened, however these are the top 3 things I find to be blog worthy.

We found out I was pregnant after our trip to Beverly Hills. We tried in Beaver Creek and conceived Colton, this time we tried while we were in Beverly Hills and conceived Cricket! HA! Obviously I am very fertile and extremely blessed that we don't have any fertility issues. I am due Feb. 11th and will be having her the week prior, either the 4th or 5th. We found out she was a girl about 3 weeks ago, i knew it in my gut she was a she but the confirmation was great. Chaz and Colton were there with me so we found out as a family. I screamed, Chaz smiled, Colton looked confused! We couldn't be happier, that as  of now, she looks healthy!!

Colton's birthday party was this past weekend! The backyard was finished just in the nick of time and the weather couldn't have been better. It was 105 last year and this year it was 87...absolutely gorgeous. We had a house full of friends, family, food and smiles.

Also on a sad note, my little brother left for college yesterday, (tear). It's crazy, I can't believe he is not living 5 minutes away from me any more. It makes me sad for Colton, because he has been talking about "Bubba" a lot lately. Zac will do great and I couldn't be more proud of him. He will be Attending The University of Texas!!

That's all for now!

Mothers Day!

Hope everyone had a happy Mothers Day! The guys got up and cooked us all breakfast, it was such a treat. We had a great day, here are a few pictures. 

My 10 year high school reunion was this weekend. We had such a great turn out and i feel like everyone had a great time. Here's Brichelle and I, my best friend from high school. It was so great seeing everyone, our hard work finally paid off!

I flew in to San Francisco to visit my good friend Casey a few weeks ago, she moved out to San Jose 18 months ago and since she moved I have been itching to go visit her.  I got to spend time with her and her sweet boy, Easton and then her, Kristen and I headed to Monterey, Pebble Beach and Carmel. The weather couldn't have been more beautiful. We had a great time and were able to hit all of the hot spots. It was such a nice get away and I look forward to the next one! 

I took this the other day when we were playing outide in the driveway. The weather has been ideal, I just hope it stays this way a little longer before it turns into a scorcher of a summer. I love this little boy so much, he truly brings joy, and many other emotions, to my life everyday. Can't imagine life with out him. Here he is, at 20 months, in all of his glory! 

XOXO- Steffanie

Bluebonnets

It was a lot easier last year when I could plop him down in the grass and snap away. Today was different... a lot different. He cried the entire time and when he stopped crying he would just stare at me, needless to say I didn't get a single picture of him smiling. Oh well, better luck next year!
