More Showers

June 13th, 2009

On May 30th my wonderful friend Pamela threw me a nice baby shower at Buca Di Bepo along with my friends Jessie, Kelly and Ana. Pamela, thank you for putting the whole thing together. It was a perfect day! Thank you to everyone who was able to make it and a huge thank you for all of your generous gifts. The Lyall family is very blessed to have all of you in our lives supporting us, loving us and praying for us.

Here is a picture with everyone who helped with the shower.

With the delicious cake!

I had my last day of work on Friday June 5th. I was planning on working until the 17th but Carson is wearing me out! I’ve been taking lots of naps and slowly getting things ready for the little guy to be here. On my last day of work everyone I work with pitched in and threw me a potluck lunch and gave me some cute baby clothes and a gift card to cover the cost of our crib. I am so grateful! Everyone at my school is amazing! The teacher I work closely with, and friend, Angela threw me a surprise baby shower with the families in my classroom. Jordan knew all about it and came to the shower as well. It was a great day!

The stepping stool that Angela and Vanessa had made for us. Cutest thing ever!

A huge thank you to Angela for putting the shower together and to all the families! It was a bittersweet last day. I’m thankful to be off so I can get as much rest in as I can now and take my time getting ready for the baby. But I already miss the kids and families so much!

As always there are a lot more pictures from these events under our photos link. If all goes as planned Carson should be here in 2 1/2 weeks! So, keep checking in!

Christmas ‘08

December 31st, 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. It lasted 4 days! We are so blessed to be able to spend time with both sides of our family during the holiday season.

On Christmas Eve Jordan’s family met us at our church, Rock Harbor. It was a beautiful service. After church everyone came to our place for dinner and to exchange gifts.

Jordan and I had a very nice and relaxing Christmas morning. We had Christmas music playing, and enjoyed chocolate milk and cinnamon rolls. Jordan’s big gift was Planet Earth on blu-ray. Mine was a Shawn Merriman Chargers Jersey. Wooo, go Chargers!!! This will be the last relaxing Christmas morning we will have for a long time so we definitely took advantage of the situation.

That afternoon we headed over to Grandma “B’s” house in Riverside to hang out. We had a nice lunch and got to catch up with Aunts, Uncles and cousins. Then from there we headed to Bakersfield for Christmas dinner with my family. My Dad’s side of the family all came over. It was so great seeing everybody! We even made a little music at the dinner table, with the help of our wonderful maestro, Scott. Here is a sample of our music. If you can guess the song you get 1,000 points.

The day after Christmas we had a relaxing day in Bakersfield. We went out to lunch with some friends we hardly ever get to see. It was great seeing everyone. It’s funny how you won’t see friends for so long but then when you get together it’s like you hang out all the time with them.

The Saturday after Christmas we got to visit with my other family, the Woessners. It was so great to hang out with them. That night, my Mom’s side of the family came over. It was a very entertaining night. We had a great dinner, took lots of pictures and played Partini. Here is a picture of Grammy with all of her “kids” in the family.

The day after that we headed home so we could be back in time to watch the Chargers game. They are going to the playoffs, I think my jersey is good luck! As anyone can see, our Christmas was busy but it was so much fun!

Oh, and did I mention all the stuff baby got? It’s so fun knowing how loved and spoiled this baby is and he or she is only the size of a medium shrimp!
