So LOVED!!!

This past weekend there was a baby shower honoring me and baby T. Shaw had an awesome diaper party. We all feel so loved... baby T too!

We had visitors from all over California. It was so special to have Grandma and Aunt Tammy from Oroville, Aunt Pam and Uncle Kevin from Tehhachpi, Uncle Mike and Aunt Nancy from Canyon Country here for our special day. I have been missing my dad and this was the perfect little reminder of him and his love. Grandma gave me a baby blanket that was my dad's as well as some small dishes. I love them!

I want to thank everyone for coming over! I am so blessed to have so many offering the love and support we will need for this baby! I am so excited to use everything (even the diapers) and dress our little man in all these cute clothes!

Our house is really starting to look like a baby is on it's way... Here is some of our new loot...

I think we are set for a while (at least I think so) from Shaw's diaper party. Beer and Pizza for the guys in exchange for a pack of diapers.

Awesome Stool made and painted by our talented friends the Lunds!

New wall art from my friend Jake and Kim... perfect addition to the bare walls.

Practicing with our new sling... works good with a FooMan but will work perfectly with baby T. So sweet!

An awesome handmade blanket and a burrito wrapper type blanket thingy... so cute Lindsay!

Stenciled one-sees created by the Dorians... baby T will be styling!!!

My mom's handy work... such a cute blanket. She also made us a hooded towel thing which is very cool... It's just in the wash getting ready for baby T's 1st bath at home!

Thank you Aunti Wendi and Aunti Bren along with Grams and MoMo for hosting and helping. I had an awesome time at the shower and everything was perfect.

Baby T we all can't wait to meet you!

Baby T is on his way...

Baby T (we are still working on name options) is growing and we are preparing for his arrival...

Here are a few pictures from the past month or so... us working on his room.

My grandma's rocking chair that she rocked my dad in... love it.

A shirt my friend Melissa made me... fits my belly as well as speaks the truth... What's Kickin?


Love the huge map! It was a bit bigger when it arrived than I thought it was going to be... Shaw's handy work... framed and covered with plexiglass.




Choo loves the baby room... Always hanging out in there.

Baby quilt I made...


Our greatest garage sale find. 1950's high chair. $25

Shaw back at work once again... the chair cleaned up perfectly and looks almost new.

I have been feeling great. Love feeling his baby boy move inside of me, although it still weirds me out a little when I can see it moving. I love seeing Shaw's face when he gets home from work after not seeing my belly for 2 weeks. It's awesome...

It has been fun preparing for this baby boy... only a little over 2 months till we meet him.... ahhh! That's crazy!

A Visit!

Meet our friends Josh and Ashley came to visit from Texas... They are super cool! And thank to Ashley we have pictures for a Blog. (good picture)

Our days were busy!!!

We went Kayaking in Shell Beach. Shaw and I had been before in the bay... but getting over the waves and dealing with the swells made us both a little woozy... We were able to explore some caves... kinda creepy and a lot of paddling to get there. (but cool)

Ashley and I waited on the beach for the boys to do a dip... Burrr. This is them RUNNING out...


Shaw taught us about trees... He's always on the look out!

Little Concert at the lake park action...

Ashley being crazy... Like usual!

At the beach!

I decided that her pictures helped me realize what a beautiful place we live in...

Here is some wildlife...

Josh and Ashley... You guys are too cool and thanks a ton for visiting us... now to get you to move out here... hummm.

I pruned this thing like a crazy person... so happy it's doing well.

For my birthday my mom and Curt got me an Apple Tree...

Might be a few years until I get an apple... but I'll be waiting!

Ohhh- and we will be watching this little thing grow as well...

Baby Thompson should be joining us (ready for harvest?!?!) around Thanksgiving.

"It" is only 2 1/2 month in it's growing process... about the size of an olive...
