30th Birthday party December 27th








I am 30!!!! I can't believe it. This was by far the best birthday ever. Mike rented out Bridges restaurant and we had 25 of our closest friends come and help us celebrate entering my thirties with some great food,drinks, and cake. I think this is a real milestone birthday. My 29th year was filled with so many changes most notably Ayla's birth,parenthood,work achievements and advancements. I now feel like a ADULT not a young adult (i.e. someone who just graduated from college) but someone who is responsible for so much more than just oneself. It feels great! Cheer to 30!!

Megan's Baby Shower

“A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bank balance smaller, home happier, clothes dirty, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.”-Author unknown


Oh, yes the cupcakes!! I had to take a picture of the cupcakes!! I went to 3 different bakery's and I couldn't make up my mind of which one to choose. Paris recommended this cute little bakery in Danville and that is where I decided to put in my order. With all the commotion of the day I didn't even taste one of the cupcakes.

My wonderful mother with Ayla. I swear Ayla jumped into every picture!

This is my Mother-in-Law, Donna, with Ayla
Megan with all her girlfriends. Ayla is being held by Julie.
The guest of honor. Megan!
I hosted my sister-in-law's baby shower yesterday.It was a nice group of friends and family and coworkers. It was amazingly hot here in the Creek,78 Degrees to be exact. It's November and I had on the Air Conditioning!! One of Megan's best friends TJ created a cross word puzzle for the baby game and it was so adorable. It had questions about what Megan was craving to what Luke's middle name will be. I have never seen this type of game at a baby shower. It was so creative and fun to play!

Ayla and I at the polls

Everyone loves getting the sticker!!! So I took a picture of it and loved wearing it all day. :)



I feel such a sense of pride to be an American. I love reading all the propositions and measures, talking with friends about our different positions on them and then doing more research to have an informed opinion. This election has been really tough as I am Conservative on many issue but liberal on social issues. I am glad it is over. Here are some pictures of Ayla and I before heading to the polls.

Riley is the other little animal in this picture...

Ayla goes to Grandma Allocco's house during the day while I am at work. This picture was taken while Donna was changing Ayla's diaper and clothes in the morning. Riley is Donna's dog and she seems to be getting less attention when Ayla is over. Riley jumped up, rolled over and put her paws up trying to get noticed. Pretty funny!!!
