our friend, ruth, finished the little man’s bedding and i couldn’t wait to get it into his nursery!! it is adorable and just what i wanted. if only i had a name to embroider on the back bumper ;) don’t worry, it will be done once he has a name!!
here are some pics of his room with the bedding in it. i am working on some navy and lime green decorations to go on the incredibly white walls and then more pictures will be posted!! enjoy…
on sunday afternoon, i hosted juliet’s bridal shower with a couple of other bridesmaid’s at our house. juliet received lots of fun, new, “housey” things as well as some great gift cards (like the massage one!!). krista did a great job with the food & kyisha did an awesome job with the cake! jaxon was the official “present opener” for the afternoon and did a great job:)
we are so excited for troy & juliet and can’t wait for the wedding!!!

this past saturday was laura nicole’s first baby shower in katy! we had so much fun showering miss mckenna with pink & purple pressies (ali and i might have been a little jealous – girl stuff is just so darn cute!). we’re just hoping laura & john had enough room in their car to get it all back to austin. brinkley might have had to ride on the roof ;) it’s been so fun to see laura every other weekend for the last month and i can’t believe the next time i’ll see her, we’ll be mommies – so crazy!

last weekend (april 25) i had my second baby shower. it was hosted by brian’s aunt and grandma. during my first baby shower, brian’s aunt’s house flooded so it was moved to my in-law’s house. it was so fun and we were blessed with so many great gifts for the little man! it was so great to see everyone and we didn’t have to float home afterwards :)
the adorable cupcakes.
opening pressies. 
thank you everyone for everything! we can’t wait until the little man is here to enjoy it all!! we are getting so close :)
a week ago last friday, my parents had to make the incredibly difficult decision to put my yellow lab, peaches, to sleep. she had been throwing up and was very lethargic on wednesday night. thursday morning, my dad decided to take her to the vet to see what might be going on. dr. teresa decided to keep peaches all day to run some tests. her stomach was hard which was a really bad sign but she had a habit of eating anything and everything and it was possible it was just blocked and surgery could unblock it. at the end of the day, teresa wanted to keep her overnight to give her fluids and was planning on doing surgery friday morning.
my parents wanted to see peaches before her surgery so they went in to the vet’s office early the next morning. teresa was up front with my parents and told them that she still wasn’t sure what was causing peaches to throw up and that the likelihood of having to put her down on the table was pretty high because of her age (12). my parents decided they would rather be there and hold her while she was put to sleep.
she was such a great dog and we miss her sooo much. she was the dog my parents got me when we had to put my black lab, snuffy to sleep (i had him from the time i was 3 until i was 18). we are all heartbroken over losing her and it is still really hard for us. making decisions like this has to be the hardest part of having a dog – i’m just glad that my parents were able to do what was best for peaches (teresa did a pseudo autopsy to determine what it was and she found a very large tumor blocking the exit to her tummy – it probably was unfixable with surgery) but i’m sad the little man never got to meet her. she was an amazing dog and would’ve had fun playing with him…
we'll miss you peaches…
