.Another Boy.

There is going to be another boy in the Bland Family!
Devin and Megan are going to have a baby boy in February.
We are all so excited and can not wait for him to arrive so we can all just spoil him :)
I only have niece's so it will be so fun to have a nephew to spoil now!!
You know that he will be one VERY loved little man.
Being the first grandson, nephew, and great grandson!!
Congrats Dev and Meg!!
We love him already!

Rest in Peace...

Great Aunt Connie!!
You will be very missed.
I have some amazing memories of you and your sweet husband,
I loved when I was able to dance in Tuacan and you were there cheering me on!!
When we would visit you guys you would have fresh fruit from your garden for breakfast!
Uncle Del would carve me fun bowls and cups out of wood!!
You were such an amazing Lady and I love you very much.
The news broke my heart but I know you are with your sweetheart now and you are so much more happy, and looking down on your family now and watching out for us.

Her Funeral Service was held on Saturday October 8, 2011.
It was a very lovely service.
As much as I really have a hard time at funerals...
.. I love them to be able to say goodbye.
It is good way to get closure!
Aunt Connie was my Grandma's sister,
and my Mom's aunt,
which makes her my Great Aunt!
Love you Connie we will be seeing you!!
Xoxo!!

Hole in One

Griffin has been golfing quite a bit lately.
He was on the golf team in High School and loved every minute of it.
When he graduated he continued to play then one day he just stopped...
... He must of gotten a new hobby for the time being.
But he is now back to golf and is so good at it.
I Love that his hobby is golf, it's nice to get outside and play a few holes or a bucket.
Such a perfect day for him to get out and play!!
I got to drive the golf cart while he played.
He would absolutely love it if I started to play but I think I would just hold him back haha!!
We would be playing much much slower and just wasting money on me!!
Hole In One!!!
On the second hole he got a hole in one.
Can you believe it???
He was so excited and I am so happy for him!!
We love going out on nice days and him golfing while I support from the side!!
Griffin the Golfer!!

Can't Call her Laura J. Anymore... She is Married!!

On September 24th one of my best friends got married!
She got married in the Salt Lake Temple and was sealed for time and all eternity.
It was such a special day.
We are all so proud of you Laura!!
Welcome to the married couple club!!!

Us waiting for them to walk out of the temple!!
They are married!!!
This day came so fast and we are all so excited yet sad at the same time...
                      .. some of you don't know how bitter sweet the day was for her and her friends!
She moved to Virginia shortly after the wedding.
So for me it was defiantly bitter sweet!!
                                   We have had many good memories and lots of laughs together.
She is one of my closest friends!!
I miss her so much but I am so very happy for her and her new life :D 
Aren't they so cute??
Love it!
Congrats you two!
You are married and live far away...
.. Just make sure you come to visit a lot!!
Love you girl what a special day never forget it!!

The Batch Party

On September 17th we threw Laura a batchlorette Party before she got married.
It was such a fun party all thanks to one of Laura's best friend Courtnie!!
She did almost all of the work, I feel awful that I couldn't help out more...
... Thank you Court for your house and hard work to pull this night off!

To kick off the night a few of us got together to decorate the house.
The streamers were so cute the way we had it but they ended up falling...
... Dang it haha so we impervised!!
The original plan was Cheesecake factory...
... But it was Homecoming and a weekend!!
So we went with plan B, Olive Garden!
We met the other girls at dinner and had so much fun celebrating her last weekend as a Batchlorette and her Birthday!
My two Bestest Friends!!!
I love these girls!!!
Her awesome Tattoo!!
Hahahah!!
You rock Laura J!
Thank you Courtney for the Amazing Bunt Cake!!
It was so yummy and so adorable.
The Bubble Gum game!!
If you have never played it, you need to try it out!!
What you do is call the soon to be Hubby and ask him all kinds of questions like:
Where was your first kiss?
How did you meet?
What is her Favorite food?
Etc...
and for every question the soon to be wife gets wrong they have to put a bubble gum in their mouth.
It is pretty funny and way fun!!
Shows how much you know about each other and what you need to learn before the big day :D
Sexy nighty time!!
She got some super cute things!!!
The night was a success!
Such a fun night with some of my best friends!!
