The best month of my life cont'd...

Ellen Show.

Honestly this was such a blessing.

Enough said.

I was even number 3 in line.

Sometimes the stars just aline and you gotta rock the highs when you get can.

 luckiest day of my life.

My cousins Chris and Eli got to come stay with us.

I love them

And am still banking on the idea of them moving down here.

Life would be goooood.

Mothers Day

Ben was over the top sweet and planned this big elaborate day with Drew for Elise and I. 

I came home and was teary eyed.... I still am. I think it's one of those really special memories I will keep with me forever. 

I was 'spotlighted' in RS since I was a soon to be mom.

Totally unecessary but I got this sweet necklace and they read a letter out loud that ben had wrote.

Then we got in the car with these cats and went on a little surprise adventure.

We first went and had a little picnic and then ended up at the flower fields in Carlsbad.

Really.

They took us to flower fields since it was mothers day. 

For our anniversary/baby moon Ben planned another surprise.

A get a way to San Diego. 

Best.Idea.Ever.

We first went to get lunch at the best sandwhich shop ever. Which Which. mmmm.
Then went out to Coronado Island and ate and played.

 

 

 

Then we got to relax at a fun little hotel in Del Mar
Del Mar might be one of my favorite places.

 

We slept in! Yes! And just took it easy visiting some fun spots in SD that day.




 

Then Totum, Cirque.
You know how I feel about cirque shows.
Another total surprise. Seriously, ben deserves props.




Baby Moons are fun.

Thanks Ben. For all of it.
I heart you.

A few days after that my mama came down to help me get some things ready for the baby.
It was so fun to have her. We did lots of fun things while she was here.
My aunt came along to help as well.
I sure love these two ladies.
Always so hard to say bye.



Then...a few days after that more visitors!!
YESSS!!
We are so okay with it!
John, KJ, Jakey, and Charli

We went and visited the old mission right by our house...
We have two free passes. Next visitor wins!! :)
