Happy Friday!

Mommy-to-be

In just 9 more days (give or take) we'll get to meet our baby girl, Sinclair Mae! Our bags are packed and the nursery is decorated, but I don't think we'll ever be fully prepared for parenthood. Wish us luck!

Here are some pictures I've been meaning to share with family and friends. The first set are professional pictures taken by the talented Brandi Hunsicker.

And here are some other photos...

Sinclair at 8 weeks. Of course then we didn't know if she was gonna be a Sinclair or a Grayson.

Sinclair during my 2nd trimester. They grow up so quick.

These are my besties at one of my baby showers. We decorated Days of the Week onesies.

We got a ton of clothes and shoes donated by friends and family.

This is our dryer lint after washing her clothes.

Happily Ever After

I know I haven't posted in a while, but I wanted to share pictures of my wedding in celebration of our anniversary. My husband and I got married 3 years ago today, barefoot on the beach.

Happy Anniversary Buckbee! I love you more than a gnome loves gardens.

Adventures of a 30-year-old Girl: Part 2

7.11.09

Today I planned to go swimming at my sister's house and then have dinner with family. I threw on some clothes, sloppily brushed my hair, ran some errands and drove over to my sister's for a quick swim. As we drove up to the house I saw a blow-up totem pole creeping up over their fence. Odd, I thought. Then as we walked into the backyard, friends and family screamed from the deck "SURPRISE!!!!" The first thing I thought was, "OMG, I didn't take a shower today."

My husband and my sister threw me a surprise birthday pool party/lua to celebrate my 30th. They're the greatest!

What a great way to kick off a new decade, with the people you love the most!

Adventures of a 30-year-old Girl: Part 1

7.3.09

Today we visited Coventry Village, OH. While waiting for a table at Tommy's Restaurant, we played in this retro toy store (more like a toy museum) called Big Fun. They have grand collections of every kind of toy you can think of. My personal favorites: Care Bears, My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake, He-Man...

On the 4th of July we walked down to the neighborhood parade, played croquet and watched fireworks on the lake.


7.5.09

Visited another little town called Peninsula. Gorgeous views and a darling antique shop (see owl pin below).



7.6.09

Today I said farewell to my 20's. This delicious snickers ice cream cake cheered me up.


Side Note: My mother-in-law has a collection of vintage hats that her grandmother made in the 30's and 40's. How cool is that! Of course I had to try them all on (not sharing those photos).

Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband, Michael. I love you!
