I love you grams!

My "Best Friend" Amy...

This is my best friend Amy. Most of you know that I cannot just say Amy, I always have to add the BF in front of it, like it's her title. I think at first it was to excentuate our friendship to the world and make sure everyone who didn't know the both of us together, knew it was beyond a friendship and more like a sisterhood. Then I think it just became a habit that really can't be broken. That's just it: she will forever be my best friend Amy. Love ya girl!
p.s. more ginormous belly photos for your enjoyment. Nope, not twins:) I am measuring 4 weeks ahead of schedule. Doc didn't seem too concerned but did order another Sono for Sept. 2nd to make sure Harper is not "too big" as she put it. We shall see...

Purple People-eater

Kylie and I came to work similarily dressed the other day. It was a perfect oppurtunity to belly up and show the world how beautifully our babies are growing. We are due the exact same day, November 7th. Kylie is having a boy. It's awesome to have someone to talk to about becoming a new mommy and also share the wonderful pleasant things strangers or even aquaintances say about our beautiful growing baby. It's fair game to comment on our weight gain, the possibility of twins-even when we tell them no they follow up with "are you sure", and the "about to deliver comment" when we still have months to go. Good times. The best thing is that we have each other to laugh it off and say "REALLY???!! did they really say that..."

Happy Birthday Dad!

Happy Birthday Dad! Another year older and another year wiser! This is a man who has without a doubt been an amazing father in my 27 years of living. Words that come to mind when I think of my dad: driven, focused, hard worker, provider, loving, role model, thinker, giver, and most of all, he is always here for us girls (my sis, mother, and me) no matter what. My dad has always had the team approach to life and the four of us are a team. Through the ups and downs of life we have helped each other become better people and together we grow stronger and stronger each day. Even those times when life came full force at us, our team united, and withstood any obstacles we faced. My dad has instilled values in me starting as a young child that have made me into the woman I am today. He has taught me to work hard not only to have things for myself but so that I can be a productive citizin in this world. He has taught me to be kind to others and be a leader by role modeling postive energies. He has taught me to be a thinker and to be aware. My dad has also allowed me to be myself and learn from my mistakes by being an independent thinker. He has been behind me when I have wanted to explore the world away from home. He has taught me unconditional love by showing me through his continuous support.
My pops has made so many sacrifices for our family over the years and for that I am forever grateful. What I wish for my dad on his birthday and everyday to follow is a lifetime full of smiles, laughter, and true genuine happiness. He deserves the best this life has to offer! Thanks dad, I love you!



















Happy Anniversary:) Cheers to 31 years! I love you both!!

I love you to the moon and back....
