Utah Trip

My mom and Grandma threw a baby shower for me in Utah. I was also in town for a good friends baby shower. We drove up on Thursday morning with a friend and her lil girl. we made great time getting up and back home, she is a speedy driver.

Here are photos from my shower. I guess I didn't take photos the rest of the trip which is disappointing :( things just get busy and you forget.

But it was Loads of Fun!!

We got in on Thursday night, and my shower was Friday night.

For my shower the decor was Grey & Yellow with splashes of purple

the Food:

We did DIY deli sandwiches, fruit kabobs,  pasta salad, veggie tray and for a thank you gift we did 3 kinds of cupcakes :) Thanks to my Grandma for working her butt off on the cupcakes. She made keylime cupcakes, lemon cupcakes with blackberry frosting, and Reese peanut butter cup cupcakes :) they all turned out wonderful! a big hit!

On Saturday morning I got ready and headed over to my friend Brittanys baby shower. I had a lot of fun at all her cute games. Later that day all us girls went to see a movie and then to dinner at La Puente. 

Sunday was Mothers Day! we had a brunch with my family at my moms house, it was nice and relaxing :) a lil while after it I ran and saw some family.

Monday me and my Mom and Marek spent time running to different stores to exchange a few things I got doubles of and then relaxed.

Tuesday I ran my brother around, he was buying a new car. I am so excited for him. its been a long time coming! later that day I meet up with friends and did lunch and then pretty much hung out and chatted then did dinner together. after dinner I headed home to get packing, we left at 5 am weds to get home. 

Like I said a busy trip but a super fun one! 

Also Marek had a blast playing with cousins & friends most of the time, and he loves my moms yard and swingset. I cant wait for our yard, he cant either! lol

25 weeks

Still feel like I am the same size. Been trying to snack healthy, like, fruit, yogurts , veggie and nuts when I feel hungry in between meals.
Yesterday I did give in and had cafe rio for lunch. I ate it a lot when I was pregnant with marek, so I am proud to say it was the first time in this pregnancy.

Getting ready to head to Utah next week for my good friends baby shower & my shower. Can't wait to see everyone ;)
