Boston Babymoon

Back in October Brett and I took a Babymoon to Boston, MA.

It has ALWAYS been a dream of mine to go to Boston in the fall.

And, well, it finally came true.

And, don't worry it did not disappoint...it was fab.

It was also the first trip we had taken alone, as a couple, since our honeymoon about 2 1/2 years ago. So it was time.

I just love traveling with Brett.

He takes care of me and caters to my travel needy-ness (necessities like, warmth, regular meals, random hot chocolates etc.).

On the other hand Brett is very non-needy as a travel companion, so the situation really works out great for me.

Here are some of the highlights.


Joseph Smith Birth Place in Vermont, was really beautiful and had such a peaceful feeling. I wasn't originally super "gun-hoe" about driving the 3 hours to visit it. But it was seriously worth it! The drive was beautiful, the missionary couple there was adorable, and it was overall such a great experience.


Monument Commemorating every year of the prophets life with one foot.

Yep, this is what I call a "Magical Tree." I found it around the corner from the church we went to in New Hampshire.

I took this "artsy" picture of the Boston Temple from inside the car, as it was raining. Brett just called it a bad photo, I was not able to convince him of its artsy-ness.


Shot heard round' the world, was here.

Road from Lexington to Concord.


Little Italy Area of Boston.


Downtown on the Freedom Trail.


Paul Revere's House, one of the oldest in Boston.


JFK Memorial Library.


Me "enjoying" Fenway Park on a very cold/rainy day.

Brett actually enjoying Fenway Park.


Mike's Pastries, so delish, we went there twice!

Brett's B-Day


My attempt at making a "2" and a "6" out of candles - ha!


It has happened once again...Brett had a Birthday and we are now the same age.

I haven't decided yet if I enjoy being a "cougar" for those four months or not.


But, B-Money is now the ripe old age of 26.


We had his fav, funfetti cake with rainbow chip frosting.

It was delish.

Baby Boy's Room

Here is what I am thinking for Buddy's room.

I'm going to make the bumper out of the animal grey, aqua, and yellow fabric.

Then, I'm going to add other elements that are not animal related so I don't have to be connected to any sort of "theme".

I'm also, mixing in some ocean/surf aspects.

I can't wait to order the fabric and start creating his room!

30 Weeks

A lot has happened since we found out we are having a boy....


I'm now 30, well, almost 31 weeks pregnant and so far so good!

It feels SO close now.

Almost like I could have him any day, but hopefully not for at least 8 weeks.

Ok, this picture is a little cheesy, but you get the idea... pregnant-baby bump.



So here's what we've been up to:

Thanksgiving with my fam. just outside Zion National Park - a blast!


I had my Thesis Art Show, and graduated!


I got to see my adorable/talented sister play water polo.


Brett and I had our Annual Montgomery Christmas Party with some of our friends (and I got a new camera for graduation so my photos will hopefully improve :)


We celebrated "Fake Christmas" with the Jackman's and had a fabulous time.


Buddy had his first magical experience at Disneyland!
(We have been calling our baby Buddy, since he is currently nameless)

We celebrated actual Christmas with the Montgomery's, complete with a Mexican Fiesta for Christmas Eve at Cass and Chad's place.


And I just had to share this photo I took the other day at the beach - gotta love January in La Jolla!
