Mr. & Mrs Figueroa

 

Marcie got married back in September.

First we needed to have a bridal shower!

Stephanie drove in from NM (even after having a baby 2 weeks prior)

and together we threw the best bridal shower of the century!

 

Food was our main focus because lets face it, it's key to a good shower!

Steph and I cooked/ baked our buns off.  

Food was flying off the platters and bowls and during the whole shower I was in the kitchen

replenishing the goods.

 



 Afterwards we took the scraps of leftovers to my moms for the boys to enjoy and that's

when I got to meet Olive for the first time!

I was so giddy I literally jumped up and down when I saw them pulling up into the garage.

I got to help with the prep work for the wedding which included doing Marcie's hair.

We did it 3 different times and this was the second round right before the bridal shoots.

My backyard became the glittering of the vases grounds.

2 months later there is still glitter back there!

This little thing was our helper girl. 

She was so good to sit in that bumbo and watch us busy bees run around

all week.

 

 

The day finally arrived!

 It sure was a party!

Great food:

Chicken fajitas with all the toppings,

Bosa donuts with 3 flavors of milk to drink along with it.

Mexican fruit popsicles and soda.

 

The DJ was awesome and we danced for a good hour straight if not more!

 



And lucky Casey got to drive the get-away vehicle home from the airport, ha!

 



Day to day pics (mostly instagram)

 

 

I have come to grips that this years blogging is not in chronological order:/

I have to get caught up somehow.

So with that in mind, these date back about 4 months or so.

But it is fun to see how fast babies looks can change in such a short amount of time!

 

A little photo shoot with our Lindi Lou

 

 Grandpa Jess was sick and in the hospital so we emailed him this picture to cheer him up!

Bed head baby

Rusty is Lindi's second mother.

Getting ready for church time snuggles

 

I think this has to be my favorite photo for 2013.

Lindi gets fed by Rusty in the car at least once a day.

They both must have been tuckered out.

Lindi had 2 UTI's in a month:( We had been waiting 45 minutes for her

to pee in a bag so we tried to laugh it out of her.

On the drive home from family camping.

Daddy's pillow, her favorite napping spot.

 

Teething. Cold carrots help with that!

 We love our ward peeps! Trying out Lo Lo's chicken N waffles.

It was "soul"icious!!!

Us, Barton's, Yamamoto's, Blaylock's, Oakes

Our lil' thumbsucker

Casey couldn't resist:)

 

I think her sad/mad face is to die for adorable.

No likey tummy time.



 

Much better



 

 

A little motivation....

It was 11am and he had put himself to bed.

Sick boy

 

They played on these concrete walls for hours!

I WILL be having these in my backyard someday.

 She loves straws and smoothies.

 I made my boys work during their October break.

So lucky they will eventually have an awesome summer job in years to come!

Shameless selfies.

 

Another one of my favorite photo's for 2013

They are buds

Whack, chop, bye bye long locks!

 

 

Rusty's preschool teacher got married yesterday.

He couldn't wait to go to the reception and give her a big hug.
