Tyler's First Day of PreSchool!

This year our little man started pre-school! His birthday is in October and he could have started Kindergarten as a 4 year old but Bud always said how much he hated being the youngest in his class. Plus he wants Tyler to be older so he can be bigger and better in his high school sports career! :) Going to school to be a teacher made me see how boys really do develop a little slower than girls, so I thought holding him back one more year was a good idea too. It was so cute watching him check out the other kids on the playground when we arrived the first day, and watching him line up for class. I can't believe in a few months I will have a full on Kindergartner!

My hansome little man!

My Pretty in Pink Baby Shower

I am such a girly girl! Beyond girly... so I always thought to balance out nature I would always have all boys! I was so thrilled when we found out we were having a GIRL! We went to my 15 week Dr. appointment and my OB was not able to determine the sex since her sonogram machine was ancient! I was determined to find out that day so I called "Before the Stork 4D" where we went with Tyler and booked an appointment right away. It was a really special experience. We invited our moms, Anita and Marci and we all got to be there when the technician announce on the large screen the baby was a "Happy Baby GIRL!" It brought me to tears knowing I had a beautiful baby girl growing inside me!

I had to have a baby shower with pink, pink and more pink! A special thank you to all the friends and family who helped make it such a special day! My shower was even featured on my favorite blog "On To Baby" and was the second most viewed shower of 2011!

My friend Jenny made this and it matched her room PERFECTLY! I loved it!!!

My Moms!

This picture is a little blurry but everything turned out so cute!

AOE!

I love that we were all having girls just a month apart from eachother! They will be friends just like their mommys!

Our Little Slugger!

We were so excited for Tyler to start coach pitch little league last year! It was a blast. He was on the same team as all of his little friends which made it even more fun! Daddy practiced with him everyday in the front yard and he did so well being one of the youngest on the team! I don't think he had to use to T stand the entire season! He has started the new season this year and I can't wait to share new pictures with you soon! I can't believe how much he has grown in a year! Looks like we will be investing in new baseball gear every year at the rate he is growing!

Our Little Slugger! He has the sweetest little smile!

"Wow! I caught the ball!"

Bud cracks up at how he points his little finger up when he bats!

Trying to look just like daddy when he pitches!

This is my favorite of the season! So cute!

The team took a trip to the Major League Angels Game! It was so much fun and mommy and her big belly LOVED the Nachos! LOL

Best Buddy's in the World! Silly Guys!

Our Belly Love

I just love blogging, but with my photography blog it is so hard trying to keep up with my family blog! But I really do want to be better at it. Not only do I want to have a space on the web for family and friends to keep up to date on whats going on with our VERY busy family, I want somewhere I can look back on to remember all the special times. I can't believe how fast life is flying by! To get you caught up let me share some of my favorite Belly Love pictures with you. Whenever my wonderful friend Alicia is in town I make sure to schedule a session with her. I love her to pieces and my home can practically be called the Aesthetiica Art Gallery with her pictures displayed everywhere!

I love this one of Tyler. He looks so sweet like he's waiting for his little sister to be born already!

I blew this one up in the nursery. One of my favorites! Everyone loved it at the baby shower.

It was a VERY windy day at the beach!

Bud looks so handsome!

This one is my favorite of the session!

Believe it or not these were all taken in May... Alyssa was born in August. You can only imagine how much BIGGER the belly got!
