Mother's Day weekend and Hayley J. Sandum

This weekend, Mum, Gary, Foster, Alex, Yoshi, and I headed up to the cabin on my Mom's land. It was a beautiful sunny mother's day weekend. We had so much fun together, fixing stuff up, putting together the futon, playing games, toasting marshmallows, exploring the waterfall etc. Alex and I took some beautiful pictures down by the waterfall. It is so lush and green and gorgeous that it felt like being in the rainforest. On the way home, Alex picked two ticks out of my hair, that's love :)

Just a share, I love that boy so much that sometimes when a song comes on that describes how much I love him, I start crying. Sad, but true. I love Alex!!!!!

Also, introducing the newest member of the Sandum-Wallace family - HAYLEY JENNIFER SANDUM. She is gorgeous already. Such a long little baby. Jenny says that she is very sweet and calm so far. Her and Emily are getting along well - Emily tucked her in the other night :)

Welcome Hayley Jennifer Sandum

Our new niece, Hayley Jennifer Sandum, was born May 7th, 2009 at 3:30pm. A healthy 7lbs, 3 ounces. She joins Emily Leia Sandum :) I cannot wait to meet you, baby boo :)

Congrats to Jenny and Chris!!! I love you tons :)

My sister is in labor!!!

I can't even concentrate at work today. My sister went in to labor last night and will hopefully be delivering her second child at some point today! We don't know yet if she is having a boy or a girl. (I have a sneaking suspicion that it is a boy).

So nervous for her and excited. I can't wait to be an Auntie again!! Love you, Jelly Bean, and I am thinking of you all day!

Please send thoughts and prayers for a safe delivery for mother and baby :)

Out all day

Today, I am out on investigation all day. It is mostly going to be a lot of driving. Wish me luck!

I don't have much to say today. Oooh - I forgot! Saturday, my Mom and I went to pick up my dress and it is beautiful and looks amazing on and I felt like a princess. The dress is super heavy though and I am hoping for a nice, cool wedding day so that I don't turn into a sweaty beast! We went and looked for veils too. The veil we found was exquisite, but ridiculously expensive. I think I am going to get one from etsy that I found that was about $50 and this cute hair comb for the top!
