Baby Shower for my "sweet little girl"

I'm on a roll again... this seems to be my style- going months without posting, then posting numerous long posts in one day.
So, a week after we got back from Disneyland, I had my baby shower. My beautiful and talented friend Jessie threw the shower for me, and she did an amazing job. I like to pretend that we're related, but technically I'm not sure if I can really claim my sister's sister in law as a relative. Either way, she is wonderful, and she was so sweet to throw the shower for me. I think she had some help from some of the other amazing women in my life, including Crystal, Mary, and Jane. I am so spoiled! The theme was all about celebrating our "sweet baby girl" and so she used sweets for the decorations and favors. Tons of delicious candy, cupcakes, and treats. Does it get any better than that? It was a really fun shower, and I was literally showered with amazing gifts. We were totally hooked up with all sorts of adorable clothes, blankets, and accessories for the baby. Thanks to everyone for your generosity!
My mom, Jane, and Meg were all able to make it up here for the shower, so as an added bonus, I got to spend the weekend with them. Sweet!

It also happened to be Father's Day weekend, so I had to include these cute pics of my boys on Father's Day. Davis and I are so lucky to have Bryson. He is the best dad ever, and Davis absolutely adores him. I can't wait to see how quickly our baby girl gets her daddy wrapped tightly around her little finger!

The happiest place on Earth



In typical Cherie fashion I am over a month behind on this post. We took a sort of last minute trip down to Disneyland in June. We got 5 day park hopper passes, which sounds like it would be too much time to spend there, but we had a blast! Davis has been asking to go back ever since. He still makes comments almost every day about how much fun he had at Disneyland. He loved everything from the rides to the parades, and just about everything in between. I think we met just about every Disney character there and had approximately 1,000 churros along the way. I was surprised by how brave Davis was on the "scary" rides. Bryson bought him a pirate gun on the first day we got there, and he used it to "get down" the pirates, ghosts, and monsters. Because of this, his favorite rides ended up being Pirates of the Caribbean, The Haunted Mansion, and Matterhorn. Bryson and I had a blast too, especially considering we didn't do any of the typical big kid rides this time. We can't wait to go back next year!
We also had time to stop by my dad's house as well as John-kai and Meg's place on our way to and from Disneyland. We even squeezed in a few hours at the beach on our way home. Such a fun trip!
As usual, I have a million pictures to share.
