I wanted to try and get the nursery all set up while on my summer break and we’re almost finished!! A few final touches and it’s ready for our baby girl! So exciting! John and I built the dresser and crib…well I helped! Then my mom and sister came up this summer for about a week and helped me decorate! I love the way it turned out! Here are some pics of our hard work!
So this summer break I had 7 weeks vacation!! Yay! My mom and sister came up for about a week to visit, help set-up the nursery and have a little girl bonding time! Then the three of us and the dogs drove down to Orange County so I could visit with friends and family. I stayed for about 10 days! It was a great trip!
During my stay we had a fabulous brunch on the Queen Mary to celebrate my aunt and uncles 60th bdays! I also got to attend a good friends wedding celebration. And of course my trip wouldn’t be complete without an Angel game! My Dad and I got to go to a game (baby barsodi’s first of many…in womb of course!).
Here are a few pics from my trip!
For John’s b-day we had a little dinner celebration with family and friends! We tried a new BBQ restaurant and it was quite yummy! Happy 31st dude! Here are some pics from the night!
John and I are almost 16 weeks preggo already! We are so excited to start this new chapter in our lives! Baby Barsodi is due Wednesday, Novemeber 24th….a “turkey” baby!! The first week in July we can find out if it’s a boy or a girl! We couldn’t be happier! Here are some pics!!
When we got back from the holiday weekend we met up with John’s parents, his sister and her family to share the good news about Baby Barsodi with them. We wanted to spill the news with them in person as well. Everyone was so excited and shocked! Here is a picture of the gang!
For the holiday weekend John and I drove down to Orange County to visit family. We had a 4 day weekend so it didn’t make the driving part too bad. It was nice getting to spend time with my parents and sister for a few days. On our last day there my parents had a memorial day party and invited all the family over to celebrate! It was so great to see everyone although that wasn’t the real reason for the visit! At the party John and I announced that we’re pregnant! We wanted to tell family in person the great news! Everyone was so surprised and excited!! Here are some pics from the weekend!
On Easter we went to brunch at the Red Hawk Golf club…they always put on a lovely event. We went with John’s parents John and Linda, his sister Carrie and her husband Scott, their two girls Mason and McKenna, and Uncle T. Here are a couple pics of the group!
We had an awesome holiday with lots of family! The week of Christmas we had some snow…it was really pretty! My parents, sister, Chloe and Cricket drove up for the week to celebrate with us! It was so great to have them here…but the week went by way too fast!
We had Christmas Eve dinner here at our place and John’s parents joined us too! Then on Christmas day we headed over to John’s sister’s place for brunch! It was nice to have the whole family together for the holiday!
Since we stayed here in Sparks this year we missed seeing all our extended family in So. Cal.! Hope everyone had a very merry holiday!! Here are some pics from our CHRISTMAS!!
So last weekend I flew down to So. Cal. to celebrate my cousins bachelorette. There were about 15 girls who made it down to Palm Dessert for the weekend. We had a great time dancing, drinking, and girl talk!! We also hungout at the pool and spa…it was an awesome weekend! I got to spend time with my sister and cousin…it was great! I’m so excited and happy for Christi and Scott! I look forward to their wedding in August…I love them very much!! Here are some pics from this weekend!
At the beginning of August my family was here for a visit, we had a great time and my sister even made the trip! While they were in here it was “Hot August Nights” here in town so we got to attend some of the events in downtown Sparks and Reno. There were around 5,500 historic cars that came into town that week…pretty awesome!
We also made reservations one night at “Roxy Bistro” (a fancy martini restaurant downtown) to celebrate my dad and sisters birthdays. We even let Kell play the slots for awhile!
To end their trip, the day before they left we all got in a raft and floated down the Truckee river! Fun stuff! Here are some pics of their visit!
