My BFF Codi's Baby Shower for Ava

Codi and Aubrey, the hostess

Aubrey, Magali, pictured above, the other co-host and myself threw Codi's baby shower. SO fun! I love these ladies!!!! They're angels in my life!

 The table before all the guests arrived... Magali's diaper cake! darling!

 Codi's family and friends spoiled her and Baby Ava rotten! :> She's set! which is perfect! I tried getting a picture of Codi with everyone but I just didn't get to individually...

   

so this pic covers the rest.

Seattle Aquarium

 I'm sorry! I will have to fill you all in all the latest haps with us. So it's catch up time again.

Derek had a week long sales training meeting in Seattle the first week of March and we were able to fly up for a long weekend! It was JoJo & my first time being in Washington! It was so fun! It wasn't all rain so we got lucky!

I kept feeling like something was so familiar about Washington while I was there... and then it hit me! It's the trees! I just KNEW Edward and Jacob were hiding in them! HAHA big fat joke! Ya, roll your eyes all you want! But I did feel like the movie portrayed that TREE FILLED STATE quite well! :D

Brian & Astrid made us feel right at home and we had lots of fun packed in just a few days. Astrid, Rachel, Rowen, Jocelyn & I went to the Seattle Aquarium! LOVED IT! Jocelyn loves animals and fish! So it's always a good time at any aquarium or zoo! Check it out!

 Then to Pike's Market! It was so fun to be a tourist and be shown all that fun stuff! :D

Grey's Anatomy Icon:

 Yup! Went up to the top and walked around! Beautiful views in every direction! Jocelyn had the front view in the elevator! :> We even have KEY CHAINS to remember that we've been there. Done that! :D

They took our picture! :D

 The gentlemen patiently waited for us at the bottom. Fear of heights? Or am I just over the top wanting to go up there?! :D Either way. I had a great time. So happy I did it.

 Jocleyn LOVES trains and anything close to one! So she'd loved riding this!
 

GREAT FACES HERE~ hahaha
Thanks Brian & Astrid! We had a blast!

A Walk/Drive Down Memory Lane:
           So Derek was born and raised in Bellevue Washington, if you didn't know that... so this was the perfect opportunity for him to take us around where he grew up. The schools had all changed. But his home was there and he had fun looking back. We even stopped at a few of his friends parents homes in hopes to surprise them. Irene, we stopped by but missed you! It was Saturday because we had to leave Sunday! Sorry we couldn't make Sunday dinner! :( And I am sorry to all our other friends that live in Washington but our 3 days were packed full! We hope to go back soon! So let us come visit you then! xox

We didn't get to go inside but I was there! YAY! 

 Home Sweet Home

 Derek thinks that's his bball from when he lived there...

 Ya, fearlessly he knocked on the door to see if he could walk through the home but no one was there. That would have been fun!

 Gorgeous view

 We got to see ONE family! They're just darling and loved JoJo!

Washington was lots of fun!
