Gender Reveal!!

This past weekend we found out what our precious little one's gender is along with all of our closest family members and friends there to be apart of it as well! (Daniel's family lives out of town so we had planned to Facetime them so they could be apart of the reveal) It was by far the coolest experience and we had so much fun!!

Wednesday we had our gender scan, however we asked that they keep it from us and handed them two envelopes. One to insert just a simple piece of paper with GIRL or BOY and the other to contain the ultrasound image of the goods and of course the whole ultrasound DVD that was off limits as well. On Saturday we took our empty box to the local party store and asked him to please fill the box with the appropriate color balloons based on what was in the envelope, they did so great and I really can't thank them enough!!!

It was extremely hard not to open that envelope but we stuck to the plan and waited until Saturday to reveal!!

So.... without further ado.....Lets get to the good stuff!!! (Warning: Photo Dump!) 

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to my Mom for hiring my cousin Stacey over at Creative Creations to do all of our decor! She did such an amazing job and it took so much stress off of me!! These are just a few of the things she made!

I was 99% sure we were having a boy!! I'm glad I didn't bet anyone! Daniel on the other hand won a whopping $40!! 

Overall, we had a great experience, spent MUCH NEEDED time with family and friends, ate some awesome burgers and hotdogs (Thanks to Chef Daniel!!), had a ton of good laughs, and even dodged a bit of Tropical Storm Karen's tiny tiny wrath! 

Thank you Mom for all you do for us!!! I don't know what I would do without you!

Weekend Recap! MS150

I know this is super duper late! I just need more time in the day to get everything done! Or win the lottery so I don't have to work! That would be nice! Ha!

Anywho!!! This past weekend we headed to Jacksonville to see my Mom and participate in the MS150.

I was originally suppose to ride with our Company's group but being 20 weeks pregnant and all it wasn't highly recommended for me so I switched to volunteer status and left my Mom and Daniel to the riding!

Mom and Daniel did the first day which went from St. Augustine down to Daytona Beach, they did amazing and I give them tons of kudos for sticking to it!!! I probably would have died the first 16 miles in!!!!

Now I shall commence a mass photo dump of the ride in action! I am so stinkin proud of them!!! 

Sorry the video is so blurry!! Not sure why it's doing that!

I couldn't resist adding this one in!

 Daniel and Maddox making us Sunday morning french toast! 

My fave!!! 

Overall our company raised a total of almost $27,000!!!!
