Last week mom came to town for a quick visit. While she was here we went on a maternity shopping spree! I can no longer fit in my regular clothes, so it was time! We had so much fun buying the place out and closed down the store (no Stephen doesn't work there, they just asked him to pull the thing closed while they rang us up). Great times and now a great wardrobe for this growing belly!!
Last weekend Stephen and I went to Austin for a big SXSW party one of my brands was sponsoring for Rachael Ray. We had such a great time! Friday night we got some time to ourselves and went to the famous Oasis for dinner. Saturady was a fun filled day at the Rachael Ray party. We got to hang in VIP with some of my other co-workers and were able to bring a few guests. Steph and Gene came down and some good friends from Austin were able to join us too. It was so much fun! Got to meet Rachael Ray, Bob Schneider, John Popper, Jakob Dylan and more. We even spotted Matthew McConaughey. Felt like a semi celeb hanging with these people! Saturday night we ended the weekend with a bang with VIP passes to the Perez Hilton party. Playing there were awesome people like Macy Gray, Snoop Dogg and Courtney Love. I was exhausted partying prego style all weekend, but it was worth it! Stephen and I enjoyed a nice relaxing day off that following Monday, which was definitely needed!
We got in our first piece of baby furniture...our bassinet! I was super excited! We had them design it with neutral colors so we can use it for more than one sex. I was really happy with how it turned out! This was also the first thing that Stephen got to put together for baby. I have some pics here of him hard at work and then the finished product. YAY for Baby Mota! =)
Happy 30th Birthday Stephen! This year was a big one, Stephen is no longer in his 20's. We had a fun celebration with the family. We couldn't celebrate too much with preggers over here but, we still managed to have quite the day! We went to eat at Benihana's with Stephen's parents, Steph, Gene, my mom and one of her friends. It was a fun meal as usual with the exciting chef at the table writing us notes in the rice and showing off his choo-choo train skills with the veggies. It was lot's of fun! After the good food, we headed to our house for cupcakes and lot's of presents! I'll speak for Stephen and say he had a GREAT 30th birthday! ;) He even found ways to make decoration clean up fun! Check out the viedo of my 30 year old singing Amazing Grace after sucking helium! haha Greatness!
I'm pretty sure we got record amounts of snow in Dallas recently! I think the final tally was 12 inches! That's big time for Dallas! The first two pics are of the front and backyard before we ran and played in it! The ground was actually covered and we had enough snow for a snowman-we named him Pre 3 since it was the day before Stephen's birthday, snow angels and snowball fights (although Stephen was super nice with the snowballs since I'm preggers)! We had so much fun playing outside in the snow and needless to say, the dogs did too! It was so pretty! Love the winter weather, but I have to say, I'm getting ready for Spring!
We headed to Steph and Gene's to watch the Super Bowl this year with Stephen's family. They had lot's of delicious food as always and we all had a great time watching the game and cheering for the Saints! Who Dat?!
I had a wonderful birthday celebration this year! I celebrated with Stephen, my mom, Steph, Gene and the Mota's. We went to dinner at Mattito's (my fave) and then headed home for some yummy cake and lots of great gifts! I am truly blessed and feel so loved! Looking forward to another great year!
I haven't posted in a while because we have BIG news that I was trying to hold in until we were through the first tri-mester! But, we have gotten through the first trimester now and I can say, it's true, WE'RE HAVING A BABY! =)
