So I finally buckled down and seriously looked at what stroller/car seat I want today. I have been putting it off because there are sooo many to choose from, and so many reviews to read and things to compare. Anyways, I FINALLY settled on this one (from Babies'R'Us), and added it to my baby registry there.

I LOVE IT. The houndstooth print is so perfect (happens to match my FAV pair of legwarmers), and it has built in speakers to hook music up to :)

Some of the stuff I've been acquiring :)

My mom gave us these cute tiny little shoes

Nothing too exciting to post on lately.

I worked yesterday, and have to again Thursday and Friday.

Sunset last night

I'm dropping a friend off at the airport later this afternoon, then going to Border's to spend the gift card my sister gave me for Christmas. I also have a 33% off coupon Border's emailed me. Highlight of my week :) haha

New Years was a ton of fun :) We drove to Breckenridge to see our friends Yamn play at the Riverwalk Center. The Shook Twins opened for them, and also sang and played with them for a few songs. Yamn even did a shout out to Baby Gooch in my belly, which I didn't happen to get on video but wish that I did, it was awesome :) Baby danced in my belly with me all night long :)

Here's an awesome video of them covering "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac.

It was FREEZING NYE though...like, negative 10 or colder freezing. BRRRRR. But we all bundled up and had a great time...here are some pics from the evening-

The fireworks that we watched from our condo balcony...there were some trees in the way, but made for a few cool pics...

Some of the girls rockin' the hats that Lauren makes

Me and some of my best friends in the world :)

What a good night :) I was debating on not going because of sleeping arrangements and other kind of stupid things, but everything turned out fine. We rented a 3 story condo in which I knew everyone would come back to party at after the show, and assumed I wouldn't be able to sleep with all that going on, but it was ok. When we got there around 2am or so after the show was over, Jamie, Charlotte and I (and Mallory for a while) pretty much just hung out in my room while everyone partied downstairs. We did a lot of talking and catching up :) I was up until 4am, which is like, a RECORD for me since i've been pregnant, haha. I can't believe I made it up for so long! Then New Years morning, Jamie, Charlotte and I went and got breakfast in Frisco (all of the restaurants in Breck were PACKED). We left Breck around 1 to head home and traffic was horrific on I-70 coming from the mountains- tons of people must have gone up for NYE. And I was the lucky one who got to drive...probably because I was the only one not hungover and feeling crappy from the night before, haha.

Happy New Year everyone :) This year is sure to be a good one for me...Baby Gooch will arrive...and I can't WAIT!! :) :) :)

I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and do a post of pics from the past year, 2010. I already know that there are going to be a TON of pics...so be prepared for a long one :)

Here goes-

I did a post full of these pics a couple weeks ago, but it was the highlight of January, so here are some more from Jamcruise. The most amazing vacation i've ever been on...

What a busy, fun month! We moved into a new house in the beginning of the month, here's a pic of the upstairs- the front entry way, part of the kitchen and part of the living room.

I went to see Erykah Badu with Dana

We went to a music festival called "Fibark"...about 2 1/2 hours away from our house. Here's Jeremy and I on our way to go white water rafting that weekend.

Another crazy busy month full of music and festivals :)

We also went to a music festival to see "The String Cheese Incident" play at a place called "Horning's Hideout" right outside of Portland, OR. Such a beautiful place...

We traveled to Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri with Jeremy's family. It was a lotta fun :)

Lucy got stung by something and her whole face swelled up. We ended up rushing her to the vet where she got a shot of antihistamine's and ended up being ok :) She was pretty funny looking though, haha

2010 was an awesome, fun-filled year!

2011 is going to be quite a different year, fun in different ways, but I can't wait!
