wedding bells!

We are actually making a lot of progress on our wedding! :)  I never thought I would be planning this early but brides these days book 1 year or more in advance!  Gotta book the good stuff before its gone!
So far we booked the venue, photographer, caterer, cake, working on dj right now, and we have found groomsmen/bridesmaid outfits!  I love wedding planning... well maybe more the decorating than the planning!  I have decided to make my own save the dates and invitations! In my mind they are really cute so hopefully they turn out that way too!  ahhh can't wait to marry my best friend!


My parents come into town this weekend for Kadens birthday!!! :) :) :)

ONE!

Only one week until my little man Kaden turns  ONE!  Which also means only one more little week of breastfeeding left to go! :)  I am so happy I stuck to my goal no matter how hard, exhausting, or stressful it got! He didn't drink one drop of formula!

I started the weaning process today, hopeing to nurse for the last time on his birthday!  He drank his first cup of whole  milk and loved it!  Kaden has his favorite nursing pillow that he will hand me or keep on handing me until he gets what he wants... "the boob".  We might have to throw that pillow away :)

365 days of breastfeeding done.  Thank goodness it's done! (Almost)


Until next time....





:)

ahhhhh

Starting to get a little overwhelmed with planning a first birthday party and planning a wedding.  My head is going in all different directions and I can barely sleep.  I am mostly excited, but also anxious.

Crazy...

18 days until Kaden turns 1 year old ....  I'll be honest, I am not ready for this!

Minnesota Vacation

Chris, Kaden, and I got to go to Minnesota for a whole 2 weeks! :) It was so much fun.  

Thursday:  we left spokane and drove 5 hrs to Puyallup and stayed the night (Kaden slept the whole time)

Friday: we woke up at 4:15 and headed to the airport, we then had a 3 hour flight.  Kaden didn't sleep, but we brought our ipad and Kaden loved playing with it the whole time. He did awesome.  After we landed we went to Mall of America and did some shopping!!  I got some pretty cute stuff yayy. 

Saturday:  we got in the car again and drove another 5 hours to our lake cabin up in Ely, MN.  Ely is my favorite place on earth!  Kaden slept the whole time again!

Sunday-Sunday: we played at the lake, went on tons of boat rides, ate lots of good food, swam soooooo much, and played lots of games with the family!  It was great to see a lot of my cousins and relatives.  Chris and Kaden had a great time.  Chris went golfing 3 times.  Kaden swam everyday in his raft and went on lots of walks.  He now eats bread and pasta. Macoroni and cheese is his favorite!  I still am nursing! Only 3 weeks LEFT! woohoo

Monday: we went to Mall of America one more time, had a late night flight and Kaden slept again the whole way.  Then we drove to Spokane!  

Kaden is such a good traveler. I will take him anywhere with me.  He got lots of compliments on how cute and strong he is :) Everyone says he is a little man and love his hair! I can't believe he will be 1 in just a few short weeks!

Enjoy some pictures from our trip! More to come later from our camera!

5 weeks

In 5 weeks kaden will be 1 year old!! :)  I just love him so much!  TIME IS FLYING BY.   In 5 weeks I will be done breastfeeding! I am excited to have my body back and to not be hungry ALL the time! A lot of people ask us when are we going to have abother baby... I say not anytime soon because I just want to love and focus only on Kaden for now. He deserves of 100% of my attention :) Maybe on our honeymoon!

We booked our wedding venue yesterday!! We will officially be getting married 8.3.13 <3

Our wedding party!

How I asked my girls.....

How Chris asked his guys.... 

2 are rootbeers and the other 3 are flat tire beer!

We also asked our friend to marry us with a wine bottle instead of the beer above :) Because Mark prefers wine! :)

Can't wait for August 3, 2013!

Thank you all for saying yes!
