Maternity Pictures - 35 Weeks

My sister took my maternity pictures when I was about 35 weeks along. I was thrilled with the way they turned out and I am grateful she took the time out of her crazy life to do them for me!  For more information about her sessions you can visit nicolehoxie.com.  With only 13 days to go until the due date of our little guy, we are just so excited to meet him!!

Baby Nursery

I AM NOT a crafty person, but the past two days I have certainly tried to expand these skills! Thanks to my beautiful sister, we were able to complete a bunch of fun projects for the babies room.  Honestly, my sis deserves the credit.  She helped me come up with the decorating ideas and pick the fabric.  She helped me sew, stuff and glue.  She was so awesome to take this opportunity to help me when she has a young  and busy family of her own.  Love you sis.  Below are the fruits of our labors!!! I am very happy with the outcome!

Mom Visits Sept 2011

My mom is AWESOME! She came to visit for my baby shower in September and it was so good to see her.  I feel like appreciate her more now that I am pregnant because I can't believe she had to go through this to have me! I am sure the appreciation will continue on as I raise my kids. Thanks mom for all the MAJOR sacrifices you made for me growing up and now - LOVE YOU!

Tahoe Sept 2011

Wow! It has been a really long time since I have blogged!  In September we took a fun trip to Tahoe with the Wolf's.  It was so relaxing and fun.  The trip included going into Reno and grabbing dinner, shopping for a few baby items (so fun!), going on a beautiful hike to an old abandoned house, napping, going to Jason's for dinner and then sleeping in before church.  Terrill also took the time both Friday and Saturday night to get some cool night pictures with his dad.  I wasn't able to download them all so I picked one that I thought was cool, but I know there were betterones. That will be the last time we go up to Tahoe before the baby comes! Next time we go up, there will be 3 people in our family instead of 2.  We are so excited!

Felicity's Blessing Day

Felicity Kate Hoxie was blessed and she was just so adorable! I love that little girl.  

John's Visit

My brother is in town and Terrill and I had a blast when he came to stay with us!!  He will be leaving on a Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Nov 9th.  This will be the last time I get to see him, so it was really so nice to spend some time with him.  I LOVE that kid.  On Friday when he got into town, my sister came over with her 3 kiddos and we had dinner, played games and hung out.  On Saturday we started the morning with a fun hike/walk on the Stanford satellite trail.  It was an AWESOME 4 mile walk with logs of ups and downs. Later that day we headed to Gilroy to a birthday party with Terrill's Family.  It was a blast! After that the Wolf's came to see our apartment and we got Gelatto.  It was really fun to have them over to see our place.  After they headed out, John, Terrill and I went to the hot tub, had some more treats and started watching Lord of the Rings.  On Sunday we all slept in and headed out to Livermore for Felicity's baby blessing.  It was a great weekend filled with time with family!

Babymoon

Terrill and I recently went on a babymoon down the coast to San Luis Obispo.  We started driving down highway 1 on a Thursday morning.  The coast was beautiful!  We stopped at Hearst castle.  We took the Grand Room tour which was very neat.  We enjoyed walking around to see all of the landscaping and architecture.  It is really a remarkable place to go see!  We got to San Luis that night in time for the Thursday night farmers market.  On Friday we slept in and then went to the beach.  We went for an hour long walk and then read on the beach.  It was cold and windy so we went back to the hotel to hang out at the pool.  That night we walked around downtown and went to Mexican for dinner.  Terrill let me get a pedicure - he is the best husband ever!  The following morning we did our morning workout and then got breakfast downtown and headed back home.  It was a VERY relaxing weekend with a lot of sleep.  Just what we need before the baby comes! :)
