Baby Shower

Here are some photos from our baby showers last month:

Valentine's themed baby shower:

 Cute baby shoes from Mom Cajas's coworker!

 Drink of the evening: Fem Ale...get it! Female! There was a cute poem Mom and Dad Boone wrote for the occasion:
Belgian barley, a bit of rice
Honey and spice to make it nice,
Peel of Orange, Berries blue,
A little flavor, a pinkish hue.
To celebrate Baby Cecelia
Arriving soon to join our familia.

Baby Ethan

We went to the hospital to visit Ethan. He's doing great! He's no longer in the hood so he;s able to regulate his temperature. He's no longer getting food through the IV. He breastfed for 15minutes today while we were there. He's doing fantastic. 

 We also got to go to Chipotle's pre-opening for Gore employees! Yay! Free Chipotle!

Mmm!!!

Holiday Recap

Hi Everyone! So here's the recap of an eventful 2 months:

I started a new job at the beginning of November at Summit Surgery and Recovery Center. They are a bone and joint surgery center. They do a lot of same day surgeries but they also do some over nighters. I work in the evening shift in the recovery care center. I really love working there! I feel so appreciated by the administrators, my coworkers, and patients. I even received a bouquet of flowers welcoming me to the team my 2nd day of work!

We went to Disneyland with Mom and Dad Boone in the beginning of November as well. It was a lot of fun! We met up with my Aunt, Uncle, and cousins for dinner. It was great seeing them. They also helped us get great spots for the fireworks and Fantasmic. We got some great video but I didn't upload them here.

It's been a busy few months and will be a busy next few month preparing for the arrival of our little bambina! We'll attempt to keep you posted!

Alex and Ellie's Wedding

Last month we went to Phoenix to celebrate our two friends Alex and Ellie getting hitched. The blessed event was on October 9th. Here are some pictures of the awesome day:

Alex's Bachelor Party

For Alex's bachelor party we had a shooting party out in the desert.

We started off the day at Goodwill looking for knick knacks to shoot at.  This is a really creepy looking little girl statue thing.

Ellie's Bachelorette

Ellie's bachelorette was a blast! We did a Hollywood Glam theme. Here are some of the things we did, and pictures of course!

Sweet Treats

Last weekend our friend, Marc (not to be confused with Grace's brother) came over. He brought us some trouffles from a local Flagstaff store. They are so delicious and it was super sweet of him to bring us a little something. 

More posts to come: Seattle, Alex's Bachelor party, Ellie's Bachelorette, Alex and Ellie's Wedding, and some other fun stuff.

Ellie's Bridal Shower

On July 24th was my close friend Ellie's bridal shower. We did a 1950's Housewives theme. It was so much fun! Here are some pictures from the party:

Me & the Bride to Be

Mountain Man Triathlon

Sorry for not posting in a long time! I got busy doing things around the house. It's been a busy couple of months! We've got new energy efficient windows, painted the exterior of the house, cleaned-up the master and did gardening. More about all that later. 

On Sunday our good friend Nikki did the Mountain Man Triathlon. Some other friends - Brittany, Jackie, and Kristina - came up to root her on and hang out for the weekend. Nikki did awesome! It was a great time! We also got to give our new camera a spin, but more about that in a later post.

She's graciously and generously decided to help the Arizona Hunger Campaign. She will match all donations you make. If you would like to help her out, this is the last week of her personal goal of raising 1000lbs. You can find out more about Arizona Hunger Campaign here.

Quarter of a Century

My green Rice Krispy birthday cake! I made it myself! 

I turned 25 on March 13. Trevor "surprised" me with tickets to see Avenue Q at The Gammage in Tempe. So awesome! It was really funny! For adults only.

After the show we asked an usher to take our picture next to the show's poster. She warned us she cuts people's heads off. We thought she was exaggerating.

We were able to get some good photos though:

 

Later we had dinner at Joe's BBQ in Gilbert. It was great fun! I didn't get any pictures with my family =(. I'm bummed about that. I totally forgot I had my camera I was having so much fun. 

The high school gang, minus Amy. The cute little girl in pink is Lana, she's Ellen's niece and my birthday buddy!

The nursing gang! T3 Woot Woot!

The gang gang...haha! 

Hanging out at Mom and Dad Boone's after the festivities. Their Beet martini is awesome! This is the closest picture I have to a family one, except the one above with Mark.

Thanks everyone for hanging out with me on my birthday! It was awesome! I had a great time!
