Memory Lane...

What an awesome weekend!!
My mom and I traveled to Pinedale this weekend for a nice trip to meet with old friends and visit the old stomping grounds. It was so great to see everyone again, and of course see how much Pinedale has grown. I haven't been back since last August when I went for my 10 year class reunion.

Mom and I stayed with Karly and Joey at their gorgeous house that Joey built. On Saturday Karly had a brunch/baby shower for me with all the old gang - It wasn't the typical baby shower with only women, everyone was invited. It was so great to sit and visit with everyone, oh and of course show off the ever growing belly! :)

After the shower Karly, mom and I drove up to Fremont Lake and walked around the campground loop. Karly and I found the Aspen tree that we had carved in K+C = BF (Karly plus Carey equals Best Friends) I guess the whole BFF thing wasn't created yet! ha. But as you can tell from the picture it has grown in quite a bit. As we were walking away we realized that we carved that masterpiece 20 years ago!! It is so great to have a friendship that lasts that long...seriously talk about Best Friends Forever!!! Thanks for a fun party Karly, and a great weekend.

Oh and by the way... The Nuggets lost to New Orleans on Friday night, but came back to beat Houston on Saturday night (that's the reason Matt was not in attendance for the weekend fun in Pinedale)
Can you see the K+C=BF?

Tayte, Carey and Karly

North Carolina

Last weekend (the weekend of September 25th) we flew to Durham North Carolina for 4 days to celebrate Matt's mom's (Jeanne) wedding. It was such a beautiful wedding, with a weekend full of fun. We arrived Wednesday night so it was nice to spend Thursday with Jeanne and David before all the events of the weekend took place. They also had a southern style buffet for their rehearsal dinner on Friday night. Mmmmmm Fried chicken! ha! One morning we had the discussion with Jeanne and David of what they wanted to be called by bambino. Jeanne had decided on "Uma" which we love! And David came up with Bubba, kind of as a joke at first, but we all ended up really loving Bubba as well! So as of right now, bambino will have Uma and Bubba down in North Carolina.

As for the pregnancy, I have been feeling bambino girl a lot more, but I still can't feel distinct kicks or punches. I can just feel her moving around. I can't wait for Matt to be able to feel the kicks and movements from the outside.

Here are some pics of the weekend in North Carolina:
