Christmas in AZ

So this year for christmas we went to AZ to spend the holidays with Mason's family.

We were in serious vacation mode, which means I have very few pictures, but whatever. It was a great time getting to hang out with all of Mason's family, going out to eat, going to the movies, taking lots of naps and just doing whatever, whenever. Such a needed break from work!

Loving my new iphone case from Plum Street Prints, and all of the amazing Christmas decor at my MIL's house. 

Mason napping with the sweetest dog ever.

 Remember this little guy? We got to go visit him at his new home in Queen Creek, I can't believe how big and gorgeous he is getting. You have never seen a happier kitty just loving his new home!

 Loved spending all day, everyday with this guy!

 We drove up to the Las Sendas neighborhood to look at the beautiful houses and watch the sunset.

And of course, we made a quick trip to see the Mesa Temple Lights.

A Weekend In AZ

A weekend trip to AZ is always jam packed with family and friends and this trip was no exception. The  original reason for the trip was for a C10 get together in Phoenix with Mason's car buddies and the Good Guys car show. But of course my amazing in laws took the opportunity to throw me a baby shower. (Which I took absolutely no pictures of, grr)

It was so sweet of them and it was so much fun. We had Mi Amigo's catering, which means I go to chow down on the best chips & salsa, bean mini chimis and of course green corn tamales!

The rest of the trip was spent relaxing, hanging out with family and of course shopping. I had awesome luck at Last Chance and scored a ton of cute shoes.

And I got to pick up our fancy, schmancy art work done by a talented young lady who lives in Mesa. They turned out so darling and I am thinking I want to hang them in the nursery.

Ketchup & Catch-up

So many fun things happening around these parts, and not nearly enough pictures. So here goes...

Dodger Game. I love baseball games mostly for the food (Dodger Dogs!), atmosphere and of course the 7th inning stretch. But after this particular game, they let you go down on the field after the game and they do a fireworks show. So much fun.

Baby Shower. This girl is one of my faves. We had a blast at her circus themed shower with carnival food & everything. I cannot wait to meet this little munchkin next month!

AZ Trip. We took a last minute quick trip to AZ. Gus Gus is such a good road tripper! And yes, my dog is wearing a seat belt.

We had a blast hanging out with Mason's family and I also got to fulfill some serious pregnancy cravings for green corn tamales & messy fish sandwiches!

We also had a chance to go to the antiques market in Gilbert and made out like gangbusters! We got a darling dresser (that we will use as a changing table in the nursery), a little baby armoire and an awesome buffet/cabinet thing made of reclaimed wood. So excited to bring these all home next month!

 PS. We are in love Mason's mom's dog. Isn't she is the cutest?

 Mase inherited these awesome boots from his Grandpa Jay. Purchased in 1985 and still in amazing condition and worn in to perfection.

Pregnancy Update. Could this post get any longer? I know, I'll be quick. So far so good. Now that the morning sickness phase has passed I feel pretty normal most days (except of course for the feeling of a little fish swimming around in my belly : ). I am now at the point where I need to switch to maternity pants and having mixed feelings about it. Excited to have the beginnings of a baby belly, but having issues feeling even remotely cute when I get dressed. Whatevs. I'll figure it out, eventually right?!

How cute is this pup snuggling me and my preggo self?  Dogs really do know when you get knocked up, its pretty crazy.
