Quick Trip to California

We headed to California for a very quick weekend trip to go to the wedding of one of Brandon's childhood friends and for Brandon's dad to meet Grayson. We literally got into California late on Friday night and headed home Sunday afternoon. Saturday morning was spent at a graduation party for Brandon's cousin and the wedding was Saturday evening.

The most adorable suit we borrowed from my cousin for Grayson to wear.

The beautiful bride and groom!

This is how Brandon watched the wedding ceremony. :)

We had a babysitter for Rylie (who, I know had way more fun with TaylerAnn than she would have had at the wedding!) so it was just the 3 of us!

On Sunday morning we headed over to Ruben's house so he could meet his newest grandson!

Laura's Storybook Baby Shower

Laura was in town for her brother's graduation, so my mom and I decided to throw her a baby shower. We decided to do a storybook theme. Each guest was asked to bring a book instead of a card and each food item went with a kid's storybook. It turned out great and I think she had a good time!

So Laura also just graduated with her Master's, but due to travel costs and timing, she wasn't able to walk in her graduation ceremony. We surprised her at the shower with our own graduation ceremony for her surrounded by her family and friends! :)

The very excited grandmas.

Just getting in a little practice! :)

Sip and See

My wonderful aunt, Laurie, and my cousins, Ashley and Amy, threw Brandon and I a sip and see baby shower. It was a blast! Basically, the whole idea behind it is a shower where people can meet the baby. We decided to include families and make it an open house.

Grayson and Kenzie (my cousins little girl)...they are about 2 1/2 months apart in age.

The adorable outfit from our Maui family, Jeff and Laura.

Cayden and Rylie by the end of the night...Cayden is actually sleeping, Rylie is pretending. :)

Memorial Weekend 2013

This year for Memorial Day, we decided to head up to my parents cabin. We figured it would be a good time to see how Grayson traveled since we are headed to California in a couple of weeks. He did amazing on the drive up! Pretty much slept until right before our planned stop for him to eat and then slept again the rest of the way. It is always so nice to go up there and relax in the cooler weather.

Nap time!
