Murrieta Baby Shower
Saturday, March 31, 2012
Co-Ed Shower...Thanks to my Girl Michele!!!
Michele thought it would be fun to have some kind of shower. At first I thought we could just invite all the girls to my mom's house or my mother in law's but looking at my list of friends I realized that would be too much. She suggested a co-ed shower which actually sounded like a great idea and Dennis loved it too. That way all of our friends could come over and hang out before the baby arrives. She took action and got the ball rolling! She ordered adorable invites and mailed them out. She would email me all these fun ideas for the candy table and I was seriously totally excited. A few weeks out she ordered a ton of candy for the candy bar...all pink and white. A week before she drove to her sisters to get some decor stuff and then made a trip party city for the paper goods and bowls. The cake she ordered from cupcake couture was to die for and even ordered some cute balloons to brighten up the house. The week of the shower she had a crazy schedule but still managed to pick up a ton of apps the night before.
Dennis had been working to clean up the house by painting all the doors downstairs and did other little projects. I wanted to order the sandwiches and make the salads for the shower as we have over 30 people coming and Michele had already done so so much!
After days of cleaning and even taking Friday off to grocery shop and prepare...the shower morning arrived. I got up super early to start making salads. I managed to get a blow dry then rushed back to finish up. Michele and john came over and while D and John picked up the cake, sandwiches and balloons Michele scrambled to decorate the house. It ended up looking so awesome! I loved it! By 1pm we were ready for our guests.
I loved the Candy Table!!! Michele hand picked everything on it.
The cake Michele ordered was so beautiful and delicious!!!
I loved the poms, balloons, and of course the MJP that my sis made.
Some of apps...yum!
Laura sporting her new haircut! Love her.
Dad was at CASL but Mom P wouldn't have missed it!
My beautiful girlfriends! Love them!!
My BESTIES!! College and High school...I was so happy they made it!
More food!
The Hostess with Mostess...she totally ROCKS!!
D and I opening our gifts..Auntie Amanda and Uncle T bought us these books...and a teething giraffe, miracle blanket and awesome bouncer! Beyond generous!
Laura bought me adorable organic outfits!
We had a great turnout! It was so so fun just chatting with everyone. Everyone was so sweet to bring Dennis and I such nice things for the baby. I enjoyed the day so much and I know Dennis did as well! It had been so long since we all got together. We are growing up so there was no bar hoping after...hahaha. Times have truly changed. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family. My sis in law Michele is a jewel! She did so much to prepare and them worked through the whole party. Serving cake, helping with gifts and then cleaning up everything after. I honestly could not thank her enough for such a beautiful day. I'm so excited for my little girl to meet everyone.
Next Shower...April 15th in Murrieta.

Michele's Turns 32
The girls went out to celebrate Michele's birthday tonight. We went to a sushi dinner in Redondo Beach. It was fun catching up with everyone and the food looked delish. I have to go back when I can eat raw stuff! I always feel like Michele is such a selfless person who puts others first..she was so concerned with her niece's first birthday, John birthday coming up and even planning a shower for Dennis and I that she forgets that she is having a birthday. I was glad Sharyl planned a little night out because after all she does for everyone the least we could do is take her to dinner. I honestly cant believe how fast time flies...I can honestly say I consider her to be like a sister. We talk daily and ask each other for advice and just chat about silly things. I call her on my drive home and it makes my time go quickly. I can count on her for anything and trust her and I hope she feels the same. I cant say it enough but I am so glad she is my sister in law. Happy Birthday Michele!!

Reagan's 1st birthday
Today we all went to celebrate Reagan's 1st birthday. We had a blast.. How many kids have a petting zoo, cotton candy, a jumper, a hot dog machine? The decor was circus themed and it was adorable. Reagan is such a happy baby and is getting cuter by the minute! I'm excited for my baby girl to play with her Reagan as they will only be a year apart.
I loved the Circus Theme!
I ate all the cookies and candy.
The kids and adults loved the petting zoo!
Reese thought he was the host. haha.
Proud Grandma with her birthday girl!
The birthday girl with her cake. She is always all smiles!
The Pattisons...glad I didn't wear pink they would've confused me for the pig.

Michele's Murrieta Shower
Today Dennis and I drove down to Murrieta as Mom P planned a bridal shower for Michele. I was in charge of the BINGO game which was alright as the ladies got to learn a little about J and M. While the ladies "showered" the boys went to the Brewery in Escondido. My mom in law worked so hard and everything turned out nicely.

John's USC Graduation
Congrats to by bro in law John for finishing his MBA at Marshall! Watching D go through the program I know how much time, effort and cash goes into it. It is also extremely difficult for the wives or girlfriends! Having to share time with school is not fun so shout out to Michele for being so supportive to him. John was lucky enough to be given some awesome gifts too. An awesome watch from Michele, a margarita maker from Mom and Dad P, and some best buy gift cards from his future in-laws. We bought him his diploma frame. We all went to his ceremony and then celebrated in Pasadena. The next morning we visited there new place and went to breakfast.

The first Month in our new home.
I have not blogged in soo long but we have been sooo busy with all the house stuff. I seriously am loving it!! We have had so much help from friends and family that I just can't believe how blessed I feel.
* My Mom and the boys came to help during the week and then my Mom brought two helpers to help me move the kitchen and clean and organize my house! They were soo much help. Gracias Mami por siempre ayudarme en todo lo que te pido. Te quiero tanto y prometo ayudarte mas!
* Our movers...I was so thankful to have all of the boys come over to help us move. Dennis and I prepped everything so that they could just come and move everything. They even mad fun of how we wrapped everything up. It was suppose to rain and we were not taking any chances. Fortunately that morning it was clear skies! Steve, Stephan, Jose, Kelvin, Ian, John, Michele, and even Heather showed up to help. We were done in a few hours and then enjoyed the day together! They saved us a ton of money but I know we are getting to old to move ourselves. Amazing to have friends like this.
*Mom and Dad P: I loved having them over on the first Sunday. Mom P helped me line the cabinets while Dad and Dennis went to clean the apartment. I felt so bad but they did such a great job we got our deposit back. $2025 worth!! They also came back with some Pink's bbq...it was delish! It was so nice to share our first Sunday with them. They left us a nice card and the suprise for our LG Washer and Dryer! We love them! I love that I don't need quarters and no one takes my stuff out o fthe dryer. Best gift ever...thanks Mom and Dad!
* Mami y Papi: Mi Papi le pregunto a mi mami..."Y nosotros que le vamos a regalar?" I thought that was so cute since he can be a grouch. We did not need there help for our house so that was good and I know they did want to help us. Dennis and I wanted to do it alone as it means more that way. They were very generous though and sooo we have now purchased a New Dining Room Table, New Buffet, and the invisible bedroom set: This weekend we bought our beautiful Amherst Mahogony table at the Pottery Barn out et. It is gorgeous and on sale for $690. We have yet to find chairs so we are on a man hunt. We decided we would need a buffet to hold our china and we purchased one from a rich Manhattan Beach family for $460. It is the Laurel Pottery Barn Buffet and weighs a ton! Froy and Dennis picked it up and it was amazing that they were able to get it up the stairs. The search for our bedroom set continues!!! After going to see the Valencia set from PB in person we decided it was too red. I love the Hudson set but it's so expensive and I think Larry St. John could make one for a little cheaper.I hoping Dennis will give into my favorite the Ashby set. I love that my mom and dad even went looking for us. haha. Gracias Mami y Papi por ser tan lindos con nosotros!
*John and Michele have always been so supportive of us and this time it was no exception. They were awesome to come help us move and then bought us Wine Goblets from Pottery Barn. She noticed we were using the free sample ones from our Santa Barbara wine festival trip! hahaThey know we love Pottery Barn so they went there. It was a little embarrassing that Dennis broke one right away in front of them but it was easily taken care...oh and any excuse to go to PB!
* Lisa came to work with such an awesome surprise. A Welcome Door Mat, Candle and Bed Bath and Beyond. I love how sweet she is to always think of me. I loved my new door and so did Dennis! I still have not used my BBB card because I am waiting to decide on colors for my bathroom.
* Aunt Tina, Uncle Ron, and Sean bought us a gift card from Lowes. I can't say this enough but Dennis loves Home Depot and Lowes. He can look for stuff for hours..toliets, cabinets, saws, windows, you name it! haha. It's the perfect gift for the new home owner. We went to purchase our smoke detectors with wit this card. Thanks Stump family for keeping us safe!
* Karla and Froy came to visit on Sunday. It was a short visit but we had fun. Froy was so sweet to empty out the van and help us pick up our new buffet he then helped lift it...ouch! We even managed to go to In N Out for dinner. When we came home we discovered a card on the computer with cash money. It brought me to tears because they are so sweet to do that! I was just glad they came to visit! I want to buy my dining room rug with that.
Our family and friends have been so incredibly supportive.

John and Michele ENGAGED!!!
I can't believe it finally happened! I am so thrilled that John asked Michele to marry him. She called me on New Years Eve while Dennis and I were in San Francisco. I seriously could not stop crying...it was a little pathetic but I didn't care! I just kept thinking of how happy Michele would be and how much they went through this year. I would not want anyone else as an Auntie to my future kids! They make a great couple and I love that she will be my sister in law. I am sooo excited for the events to come!

Mix Master Mike at My House
Dennis took his Series 7 and passed with a 90%! He studied all Thanksgiving week so I was proud of him!
That night we went out to celebrate as Michele invite us to her Skull Candy event at My House for the Mix Master Mike Launch.
D and I went out for sushi dinner at Rok Sushi in Hermosa which was so yummy. We had an absolute blast listening to great music and people watching. We even got a great swag bag. Michele is so awesome to invite us...she was crazy busy working the red carpet. She did manage to hang out for a little. Well this marked the end of all of my birthday celebrations for the year!
