Baby GIRL coming in May!!!!

We are so blessed to be expecting our second child, but first baby girl, in May! This still seems unreal to me some days but i am so excited:) Gavin is excited to have a baby sister because, as he puts it, "there will be two kids now!" Couldn't be happier and just can't wait to see her little face and have her join our family:)

Gavin's Big Boy Basebal Bed

Javier put alot of time and love into this bed for Gavin. I don't know why i didn't post these before...

He put real baseballs on all four post which really added alot to the bed.

Summer Fun with Cousin Christian

My Mother's Day Gift

I  had been wanting a coffee table for so long, every one i liked was either way to much money or too big for our living room, Javier promised that he could make me a great table to match the sofa table i already had and loved. He came through on his promise and made me a gorgeous table, the color that i loved and distressed it so it looks so neat. It took him about two months just working on it at nights when he had time and it was so worth the wait! Thanks Javier, you continue to amaze me with your talents:)

BABY SHOWER FOR MY FRIEND JESS

A couple months ago, i helped throw a baby shower for my friend and neighbor Jess, i teamed up with her friend Natasha and we were able to come up with a cute little shower for her. She has two little girls already and is now having a boy! Jess is from Florida and is terribly homesick, she loves the ocean and beach so we figured that would be the perfect theme for a baby boy shower! Everything came together perfectly, it looked awesome and everyone enjoyed the shower. The food was great and the decor was so cute. Jess said she loved and appreciated the shower so thats what mattered the most!

 Natasha did the hummus and spinach dip with bread and pita

 Thats Jess' baby's ultrasound pic in a fun beachy frame

Love the sailboat toppers and the cupcake stand i borrowed from a friend:)

 I found instructions online to make sailboat cupcake toppers and they turned out perfectly. Then there is my Caprese Skewers with balsalmic drizzle (thats tomato, basil and mozzerella:)

I was able to find alot of decorations that went with the theme and i love how it turned out! Thats my fruit kebobs with fruit dip, my mini chinese chicken salads in wonton cups, and Natasha's Tortilla spirals, yum!

Pre-4th of July Sparklers and My First Garden!

The anticipation of waiting for the sparklers is killing him

He is glowing brighter than the sparkler in that neon tshirt!

It is so exciting when you see your garden actually growing something! My first jalepeno:)

Our little garden...if this works out well for us this year we will probably do a bigger one next year, it has been alot of fun so far!
