July Update...FINALLY!!

I don't know what my problem is with blogging these days! I just can't get around to getting caught up. Anyway, here are a bunch of pictures from this month filled with baby showers galore!! I can't wait for little Ryder to get here. It has been so much fun getting everything ready for him!!

First off...My shower at Brookie's! It was so much fun hanging out with friends and all the Capo 2 ladies! Of course Brookie and Sandra Dee went all out with yummy desserts. It was great!


Cute Suzanne Owens and my mom.

Brookie and Larda Phat!

A few of my sister in laws and nieces. Look at how cute they all are! Ryder is definitely getting some great genes from the Hoffmans!

My mom and Aunt Cheryl. It was so nice of her to drive all the way down from Burbank!

The Hawkins Girls.

Me with Boo and Tay.

Brookie, Me and Meiken. The Girlfriends minus Lara.


Next up was a fun girls brunch at The Tea House. I LOVE THESE GIRLS!!!! We had a blast in the "music room".

Our tea faces.

The yummy heart shaped scones that are too die for! Especially with the homemade cream and raspberry preserves.

Tristen keeping us all entertained with all her stories and a great toast.

My new license plate that Steph had made for me.

Brooke gave me a darling hospital gown so I can be stylish at the hospital.

Me and my mommy!

The Lark girls minus Alyssa who was in Arizona for a wedding.




Now off to Jessica Howell's shower. Noah and Ryder will be just a few days apart.

Noah and Ryder giving each other a high five in utero.

Brookie's Birthday dinner was at Cheesecake Factory the same night as Jessica's shower. So I hit two birds with one stone and party hopped! It was so much fun to be with all these cute girls that I grew up with. We could have talked all night. I loved it!!


I then had a shower that my ward threw for me...well, Summer and my sister in law Jill! It was really fun and made me feel so loved by my ward. I am so thankful to be in such a great ward!! I didn't get any post worthy pictures from that night, but a big thanks to Sums and Jill for all their hard work!

Lastly, I had a fun little vacation with this guy this weekend. We actually decided to stay here, but acted like we were on vacation. We got massages and facials, ate the yummiest food around town and shopped our little hearts out. I can now say we are definitely all ready for our little guy to be here. What a great feeling!
