Weekly Update

Tenley woke up in such a silly mood on Monday. We spent what seemed like hours playing peek-a-boo in bed:

We met Linds and Isla at Hidden Falls Park later that afternoon:

We went to Grouchy John's for some delicious hot decaf coffee and met our besties at the park across the street from GJ's:

I caught Tenley admiring Stefan Salvatore's hunky handsomeness watching The Vampire Diaries on our iPad:

(That's my girl!!)

We had our bi-weekly appointment with Dr. Adashek on Tuesday and since it was supposed to be a quick one we brought T along so she could see her little brother and sister. We kept her entertained by taking pictures and watching movies on the iPhone while we waited to see the doc:

Everything was great and Ev even showed off her profile (Wes is always shy and covering up):

After our appointment, we met the Rices at the pumpkin patch. The girls had fun trying everything out together and little Isla was so brave and kept wanting to go down the slides. Both girls went on this ride that spun really fast and Tenley went on the big kid swings by herself. We had so much fun:

Chels and I were getting super excited about her Vegas trip so we sent each other silly pics all day on Wednesday:

Tenley bounced around in brother's crib Thursday morning:

I wasn't able to make it to the salon to get my nails done so my awesome nail girl came to me! Tenley was quite a handful, but tried to help out:

(Contact Jen at Circa Salon for nail appointments- she is awesome and so much fun to talk to!)

Chelsea arrived in Vegas and I was  beyond excited to see her for her birthday and our maternity session/family photos. She was made to be a photographer and her talent is out of this world! We had so much fun taking family pics with her, as always, and I'm in love with everything she's shown me so far. Here's a sneak peak:

I went to Prisidio at The District to celebrate Chelsea's birthday. I had so much fun with her friends and got wasteddddd on lemonade. Oh how great it was to be silly with my best friend again:

(Chelsea asked this couple to take a picture of us and said to them, "Can you please take our picture? She's pregnant with twins! I got her pregnant with twins!" Love your crazy self, Chelsea!)

Tenley woke up as a 2 year old on Saturdayyyyyy!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh! To celebrate, we started the morning off with a gift- her new trike:

We spent T's birthday morning at the park to pass by the time until all of our guests from Ohio arrived:

Tenley woke up from her nap to the best birthday surprise EVER- all of her grandparents and her great Aunt Donna! She also got new diamond earrings from Grandma and Grandpa Ditata:

(.25 carats per ear...spoiled much?! I'd say so.)

We celebrated Tenley's 2nd birthday at Run Plus Fun:

After her party, we came home and opened even more presents from great Grammy Sophie, Grandma Cathy, Uncle Mike, Gigi and great Grandpa Ed, great Aunt Jan, the Shulugas and the Georges:

(Thanks everyone!!)

After opening all of her presents, T cooled off in the fridge:

We spent Sunday morning at The Coffee Cup and the park with the Big Horn Sheep in Boulder City. Tenley loved herding the big horn sheep and playing with all of her grandparents:

After the twins beautiful baby shower, we came home and relaxed for a bit. Then T played dress up with her new Tinkerbell outfits from Auntie Frannie and went to town on her chalkboard wall with great Aunt Donna:

What a busy/awesome week! Until next week! :)

Little Pumpkins

To celebrate the upcoming arrival of Wes and Ev, my amazing friend, Lindsay, put together a baby shower for them and planned it for the weekend when my mom, mother-in-law and aunt were in town.

I was beyond excited when I got the invitation for my little pumpkins:

Fall is my favorite time of year. I love seeing all the pumpkins and colorful leaves. Linds had her house decorated perfectly for the season; which just so happened to match the theme of the shower:

The girls played upstairs and watched football with Ed and Mase, while us girls ate all of Linds' yummy food and chit-chatted:

Then, Wes and Ev got showered with such thoughtful and amazing gifts:

(Matching Cardinal Mooney shirts from my mom.)

(Blankets made by Lindsay.)

(Cupcake clothes made by crafty Carole.)

Thank you so much for making the twins shower so beautiful, Linds. You're beyond good to my family and we love you so much!

Looking back at this day I see how truly blessed we are to have such amazing people in our lives that enjoy celebrating the big milestones in our lives. I try to think of what we did to deserve such amazing family and friends and I can never come up with a reason. God has put these people in our lives for a reason and I am so grateful for them all. I love all of my girlfriends as if they were my sisters and I love their children as if they're my own. 

Our little pumpkins shower couldn't have been more perfect. Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with us, especially the out-of-towners from Ohio, Colorado and Washington. We love you all and don't know what we'd do without you!
