Lil B

today i had the complete pleasure to meet lil b (or what i like to call her:)). she is so so pretty just like her mommy i seriously held her for around 3 hours and loved every second of it! it was so crazy to see my bff as a new mommy, not crazy bad crazy good! she will be an amazing mom, it's crazy how we have gone from skipping school to living together to getting married to living next door to each other and now for her being a mommy. i won't lie i got a little choked up and fought back some tears to see how happy her and her cute little family are. i am so happy for them, the only thing sad about it is that i don't live next door anymore and can't drop in to see mommy tiff and lil b whenever i want :(! miss you guys and had the best time seeing you and your lil b today. thanks for letting me hog her and hold her for hours, it was complete bliss! please say that when i finally cave to the baby craze that my baby will be as pretty and sweet as your's (or i will just kidnap lil b and play her off as my own!) love love you both mommy tiff and lil b can't wait till i see you again!! hopefully its real soon ;)

It's been a long time..I should've left you!

items that will be featured and discussed:

1. mesquite family reunion
2. tiff's shower and blanket making
3. graduating and various school projects
4. craft night with the bshaws
5. the big move to the big city ;)

#1 let us begin with the annual mesquite family reunion shall we? it seems like forever ago since we went but better late than never right? we had a super great time, a big shout out to my mom for being so awesome and letting us stay with her, and for letting us blot her bingo cards for her. ps i won bingo twice baby $50.00 went straight to my momma! we also ate at the famous seafood buffet and ate crab, lobster, and chocolate dipped churros to our hearts content!

happy as a clam ;)

steve a little too into the crab
this actually looks kinda gross now that i think about it
breydee with his ice cream..looking awfully suspicious
too much seafood doesn't do a body good!

#2: tiff/lil b's baby shower! i had an absolute blast planning tiff's shower! the shower was a garden party theme, i made center pieces, paper lanterns, cute napkin holders, lots of decorations, and paninis! also i made tiff a baby quilt for her cute little one, i think it turned out adorable! it turned out so well i am making my cousin mel's twins their bedding for their cribs! i am so excited (pics will follow once i finish them!).

#3: graduating school was so sad i miss everyone there and getting my daily dose of interacting with humans besides nate (since i work at home on the computer i just mainly interact with it...sad i know). i took some final pics of the projects i left up there and slaved over might i add ;). hopefully i can go back and visit really soon! ps these projects believe it aren't even the tip of the ice berg of all the projects i had to do there is way way way too many to even put on here!

#4: a couple weeks ago nate and i decided to make crafts one night for something to do. so i went to my fav store hobby lobby and got a jewelry box for me to decorate, and nate got a B for our front door to decorate. it was way fun being able to be creative with my hubby, i think that they turned out just great!

#5: thanks for hanging in there till number five! well we no longer reside in logan! we moved to bountiful about two weeks ago and are loving it. nate received a job offer with a company called zaag, they make the invisible shield for electronic stuff. he and two of his friends were hired to work on a secret project they have yet to release yet, i pretty much work and decorate our house at the moment, looking forward to starting school again in the spring, also i am looking forward to having a replenished bank account so i can get a membership to the bountiful bubble and work out...i need it lets just leave it at that! all in all we are happy campers and would love any and all visitors ;)

ah if feels good to get that all off my shoulders! thanks for hanging in there again it was long but well worth it right ;)! more is to come like nate turning 25 in a week and a half! stay tuned for that ;) love love
