Mother's Day

We had an interesting Mother's Day - well choice of meal :) We went to Jura's with my mom, sisters and their families. You wouldn't guess that would be the choice for the meal, but I guess if it filled everyone up and was a good meal, that's all that counts, right?!

Here we are just sitting around.

Tyler and I gave my mom a photo book of her surprise 60th birthday pictures. For some reason, she just thought that the cover picture was just hilarious!!

It ended up being the year for photo albums. We ended up making one for Crystal with pics from the pregnancy, shower, birth, and Isaiah's first day home.

...and here's Isaiah!

While I don't feel like it was Mother's day for me (just doesn't feel real without the baby actually here)...I did get a few wishes :) Tyler had some gorgeous flowers sent to work for me...

...and apparently this is what Mother's day will be like from now on - as you see me cleaning in the background :)

nice and full sink there ;) ... I can't wait until next year's Mother's Day!! We'll have our little one here with us, and it will feel legit ;)

Whoops!

I think I (unintentionally) got back at the baby today for all the crazy movement that has been taking place. Last night it was even more crazy, I was laying on my side while we watched a movie and the part of my belly that was on the bed was 'the spot' that it was quite possibly trying to come through. It felt more like some punching going on, not so much tumbling!! ...I know, I know, just wait till later on this summer when it's bigger and all crammed in my tummy and body parts start poking through.

So, anyhow, I tried out a yoga class this morning :) I was doing as much of the class as I could,which had me in all different kinds of fun positions - several of them including some upside down motions for the baby :) I didn't think about that until afterwards...but the class was lots of fun! I think I will make it a weekly thing.

No, I wasn't looking for a way to get back at this active person. Just felt like I intruded on it's 'home' and shook it all up this morning! But hey, I feel better after my work out, so it should too, right?! :)

Caty & Wilson

So back to playing catch up so y'all can check out what you'd like and I can finally be in the present with this guy!!

Our cousin Caty got married in May, and what a beautiful wedding it was! It was nice time with family...it'd been a while since we were all at a wedding together :)

A few shots from the ceremony - the grand entrance...

...the LONG first kiss :) ...

...the happy couple making their way out of the church.

Tyler's abstract photo...you can see us in the reflection :)

The reception hall had a random sign posted - had to share!

a few solo shots

My mom, tio vidal and Lita!

This was cool. Wilson is Chinese, so he had a traditional Chinese wedding ceremony of 'waking the dragon'.

Of course, baby Isaiah made his debut - and he looked so adorable!! We all passed him around.

Tyler FINALLY got to hold him...he was feeling under the weather when he was first born, so he was being good and staying away from the baby until he felt better.

Here's the other mom currently growing her baby - trying to get a little practice in.

Mom TRYING to get natural with a baby in her arms...she better - only 3 months left until her next grand child is born...and a soon after, her second great-grand child!

Here's a better generation pic (than the last taken the day he got home from the hospital).

We are due about 10 days a part - you can kinda see our bellies here :)

Cousin Maribel's cutie of a little boy!! I just want to squeeze his cheeks!!

Isn't Lita just adorable?!

The father-daughter dance...I know my tio vidal was so sad! Now both his girls are married and out of the house. He's such a sensitive dad...we've shared some times chatting about the girls and raising them.

Super cute cake!

What a fun night it was. The events unfolded kinda late so we weren't able to stay too long. I was ready for some dancing, but we had Info Booth duties at church the next day so we had to be up early :(...Beautiful wedding Caty & Wilson - congrats!
