Bradens 25th Birthday Bash

We were so lucky to have Braden's Family and my sister Laura there for this fun event.  On friday before Braden's birthday I made a cupcake for him at work. Everyone loved it. Braden's birthday celebration started out with me making Braden french toast in the morning and opening presents. We then went to the Temple ( ahh such a beautiful peaceful place). The we were able to go to the Hard Rock Cafe and had a fun celebration and I made Braden a Monster cake.  Here are some of the celebration

I have the most amazing husband and family. I ma so greatful for the love I am shown. This past week has been a fun one.. my family came for a visit and to meet my little Angel. It was the first time my sister Melanie has meet her and her loving parents. We had such a fun time. We grilled and played with my Angel. She is so big on 28th she will be 18 months and getting ready fro nursery. I can't believe how quick time goes by. She talks and walks and is her own little person. My favorite thing she says is mas and aqua, its amazing how much she has grown. I am so greatful to have so much love and support thru this process. Pictures to come soon

Valentines Day 2010

I have the most amazing husband in the world. I have wait so long for a man like him. We had a wonderful weekend in Scottsdale, Az ( I know it not far but nice to get away for the week). We then decided to hit up Matt's Big Breakfast in Phoenix (was shown on Guy's Diner, drive-ins and Dives) It was amazing. We waited 2 HOURS, but it was well worth it. Then we came home and relaxed and Braden cooked me a yummy dinner Pistachio Crusted Tilapia, Pear and green salad with sweet homemade vinaigrette and fries. Then we just cuddled and relaxed. Braden got me a very beautiful Heart ring from Kay jewelers, but he had snuck it in my purse early in the morning on Sunday and I never found it till he got home from the store and told me he lost his wallet, we looked everywhere, he suggested we look in my purse, so I did, ( i still missed the box lol), Braden looked thru it and said what’s this and he was holding a little white box. What a sneaky husband, I had literally gone thru my purse several times that day and never found it... I have the most amazing husband in the world. He cleans cooks and does laundry, how much better can it get than that. I love you BABE!

Losing my other baby

I picked up my baby Lola Mae the day I went into labor with my  the other love of my life, Miss Evelyn .. I am having to give away my little kitty, who is only 2 years old because my husband has become very allergic to her and I am giving her to my old roomate Christy who has her friend Levi, I know she is going to a good home but this is very hard for me as I got her to help ease the pain of placing my angel for adoption. She has helped me in my grieving process of Evelyn. I love my kitty but I know she will be okay. I will still get pcitures and updates since I am still good friends with my rommmate. I will miss you Lola I love you and you didn't do anything wrong.
