After the wedding my sweet little sister threw me a baby shower. She did a Fabulous job as you can see from the pictures below. The theme was little man, so she found these fabulous little mustaches! THANK YOU HAYLIE!






This little baby is totally spoiled! I got home from my 3 week vacation :) and unpacked everything we got. When Eric left to go back to work so he could go on a trip, i packed 2 large boxes for him to take on the plane, since I already had checked luggage. Those 2 boxes were completely full! So I unpacked them yesterday and organized everything. I sure hope this baby stays in 3-6 for a long time, because that is basically the only size we got. And the clothes are so cute! So hopefully he gets to wear them. He also got a TON of shoes. All are really cute, but my favorite are the Red Toms Haylie got him, and the Uggs that Suzie and Melissa got him :) Eric and my brother Andrew dont think boys need Uggs, but just wait till they see him in these, they will feel different.

The next day we went to Pottery Barn Kids and ordered the entire Nursery. We got the crib and glider on Friday, but are still waiting for the mattress and bedding and such. So as soon as I get those items, I will post pictures.  Officially in my 3rd Trimester, and both Eric and I are getting super excited. Especially since the room is coming together!

Love ya!

I totally forgot to mention how smart my husband is! He is applying to MBA schools for next year so has been studying for his GMAT. He took it in July, and while were in Dallas he got his Official results.

For some background, the GMAT is out of a score of 800. The average that someone gets on the GMAT is 570. That being said, Eric got a 770! Which is in the 99th percentile. We stared at the score for a long time, since Eric was only hoping for a 700, to get into the University of Washington. But after finding out his score we started talking and he is also applying to Harvard and Stanford.  Both are the #1 MBA schools in the nation. I will keep you posted on where we will end up living next fall!



Eric counted how many airports he has been to in the last 10 days.... yes it was 10. Poor guy. After Going to Grandma Dolders Funeral in Utah, we flew back to Madison, WI and woke up Sunday to drive to Nauvoo to get my little brother and his friend Alex. They were staying with us for a few days, so I took them to Eric's work, which is always impressive and then we went to the water parks. Since I couldn't go on any of the rides, they left me by the wave pool. Eric left on Monday so he wasn't able to keep me company. Andrew and Alex left on Wednesday and Eric came back Thursday.

Friday we flew to DALLAS for my brother Donalds wedding!! We got in Friday night, just in time for Eric and I to join the bachelor/bachelor parties. Saturday was the wedding at 10am so we got up early and got all dressed up to head out. The ceremony was so sweet, and the cute old man sealing them kept crying. It was cute! Now Dallas is HOT. So luckily the temple had a HUGE waiting room, cause Donald and Emma took FOREVER to get ready. We took the typical wedding shots at the temple and then went to the Luncheon at BRIO. If you have the opportunity to go to Brio, take it. It was to die for! My parents have good taste in food :) After the luncheon we had time to kill, so we all went back to the hotel and crashed. The Reception was at a beautiful golf course and when we got there Donald and Emma were out on the course taking pictures. I cant wait to see their photos because I am more then positive they are going to be gorgeous!

At the Reception the best man and maid of Honor had to toast the bride and groom. My little brother Andrew was the Best Man. He was so nervous but did a great job!


Emma's mom had made the cake and the grooms cake. It was AMAZING!! During the Reception the groomsmen got a little crazy and decorated the get away car... it wasn't the get away car in the end once the bride found out what happened :)

Sunday we slept in... yay! And then headed over to Emmas house for Lunch and to open presents. Then we headed back to the hotel so we could pack and get ready to leave on Monday. Sunday was a ruff night for dinner. No one could decide what to have, and we kept getting lost. The entire freeway system in Dallas is under construction and Google Maps didn't have new routes due to exits being closed. Looking back it was really funny, but in the moment it was super frustrating.

Monday we headed to SEATTLE!! Seattle will be a different post, since we have a Baby Shower and an Open House.
