12 week Ultrasound

Our baby is starting to look like a baby, and is about the size of a lime. Cameron especially likes the last picture because that kick and punch we caught on sonogram reveals long arms like Cam! I like the second picture because it was our first profile shot and we can see a forehead and a nose:) Next time we see our baby we will find out if we are having a son or a daughter!!

Charlie's Baptisim! I'm a godmommy!

I'd like to thank Charlie, for being an adorable godchild and for sleeping on my shoulder for most of the sacrament. I'd like to thank Kelly and Doug, for being thoughtful Catholic parents, letting me hold him, and for asking me to watch over the spiritual development of their firstborn. I'd like to thank Fr. Jude, for remaining calm as he blew out the candle and started over. I'd like to thank Kathy, who got some good pictures - especially of Charlie in a dress! hahaha. j/k

Seriously, it was an honor to welcome Charlie into the church community and to share such a special day with a loving family.

Labor Day in Flagstaff

We were in Flagstaff for Labor Day weekend to celebrate Charlie's bapitism and my mom's birthday. And there is no stopping Auntie Becky from taking a photo shoot of the nephews!! Can't believe my nephews Jameson (6 months) and Charlie (5 months) are getting cuter by the day.

First Trimester

My first trimester (13 weeks) is almost over. So far I've been blessed with an easy pregnancy - I'm just hungry every 2 hours which is terrible for someone like me with no cooking skills/desire! Lots of pickles, PB&J sandwiches, apples w/peanut butter, pasta salad and cereal - and then Cameron comes home and I get a real meal!

I've gained 2 pounds so far and have some minor pregnancy symptoms.

When is the part where you GLOW?

I'm undecided if I'll keep up with the belly shots.

Here is me at 5 weeks and 10 weeks pregnant.

We're Pregnant!

We are having a baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Due: March 31, 2010

Here is baby's first picture at 9 weeks (heard/saw heartbeat of ONE baby)

We will be finding out the gender at 19 weeks and will have a MUCH better ultrasound picture at that time:)

Samineh's Baby Shower

My friend Kelly Marti and I hosted a baby shower for Samineh & Josh Heppner - who are expecting a baby girl on October 8. It was such a nice party with lots of new friends from bookclub and the married women's meetup.

Westin Resort Staycation

Our friends Samineh and Josh invited us to enjoy a weekend at the Westin in Scottsdale. Our mutual friends Kelly and Ben also spent the weekend as we played tourist in Scottsdale. The weekend was full of relaxing by the pool or in the lazy river, cheering Cameron during a watermelon eating contest, a 4 course dinner at White Chocolate Grill, and some disc golf for the guys.

Pinetop Golf Tournament

Each year the family gets together for a Memorial Golf Tournament in Pinetop. I don't golf but it's great to see the entire family. We stay at a cabin and have a big cookout after the tournament.

Boston Vacation - July 4th

We vacationed to Boston, MA for Independence Day. We took a culinary tour of North End (little Italy), saw all the sites on the Freedom Trail and attended the Boston Pops Spectacular Firework celebrations with guest performer Neil Diamond. Our hotel was a converted historic firestation in Cambridge. We spent most of the trip at historical sites, enjoying the 75 degree weather in Boston's parks, and dining at all the best resturaunts known to locals. There are 250 pictures on this slideshow.

Flagstaff & Sedona Vacation with Friends

Our friends, Kelly & Ben and Samineh & Josh, spent a weekend in Flagstaff with us. This getaway was a true Flagstaff experience - complete with breakfast at Macy's, shopping downtown, skyride up Snowbowl, a steak cookout and ice cream in Sedona! The guys had some extra adventures riding in the Mustang to play disc golf, playing a round of pool and being fascinated with solar trash compactors.

Nephew Charlie at 6 weeks

While visiting Flagstaff I took these pictures of my nephew Charlie. My new favorite challenge is catching his first smiles on film!
