Baby Wiser Gender Reveal

I can't tell you how excited I was during Chase and Sierra's baby gender reveal! 

Back story : I met Sierra and Chase when they moved into our ward in Dallas. We quickly became friends and my heart broke a little when they moved back to Denton (COME BACK). But my heart restored a little when I saw their faces after learning their baby on the way is A BOY! 

Sometimes it's really nice to just come as a guest and enjoy snapping a few pictures. This was one of those times. I'm so glad I was able to be there on this special day! 

Teams were chosen at the beginning and I was proudly #teamgirl. ( But I really was so sure it was going to be a girl...) Obviously I am a really bad guesser. 

 Sierra did " The ring trick" right before the big reveal just to see if old wive's tales really do work. Spoiler- It totally said she was having a boy! 10 Points to Lynda because she swears on the ring test. See more about said ring test HERE via some random website. 

Then to the real deal. Baby reveal. 

I love rhyming. 

I didn't expect my heart to beat so fast but it was crazy thrilling! 

Their faces were the icing on top.

 BOTH Sierra and Chase had " Team girl" buttons on. 

Apparently we are ALL very bad guessers. 

 Sierra said " I don't know why I'm crying right now!" But we all know why. She's pregnant. Chase on the other hand pretended he wasn't crying but we allll saw you chase*!

 These two and their dads. Heart melting.

 Team boy did a little bit of celebrating while team girl decided to quietly tuck their pins away and replace their pink pins with blue ones... before anyone noticed ;) 

Dallas 6 OG represent.

 Sierra's mom was the only one who knew the gender beforehand! 

Here's the paper that made it officially official. 

The new dad to be (who switched pins if you didn't notice..)

And a couple of dad's who are soon to be grandfathers! 

It seems like everyone wore blue or at least a little blue....and yet none of us noticed.  

Word went around that Grandma said she knew it would be a boy all along. #Teamboy

 The happy parent's to be!

 Holding Sierra's belly has become our new tradition. I think we will keep it. 

 I have mad love for these girls and am so happy for that sweet momma to be, in the middle! She has a very cute fur baby already and soon she will be a mother to TWO boys! But one of those boys will be a lot less furry than the other ;) 

My Best Friends Wedding

That sounds like a movie title huh?! I bet it is. I never watch movies so I wouldn't know… SO one of my very best friends in the whole world got married in August! And now you're thinking " I knew you said you sucked at blogging, but really? that as like 4 months ago." It's true, I really do suck at this. It would be a lot easier if I didn't have to edit the pictures first but how could I even do that…..I couldn't. Thats the answer. 

My parents bought me a ticket to go to Dallas in August (Thank you!) and I was able to see my BFF since 8th grade married to her love. (yeah, I said BFF. Deal wit it.) It was fantastic, and fun and over 100 degrees. yayyyyy Texas in August. I was sweating bullets before 11 am. 

 ^^ These are my best friends (and Stephs hubby in the back). The cutest, huh? ^^

So I always think I have to show pictures in chronological order but then I remember, "Hey! This is my blog! I do what I want!" and then I proceeded to do what I want.

(that being said….here is one of the first pictures from the day anyways…)

^^ This is what 100 some degrees at 11:30 am looks like. It's attractive, obviously. ^^

^^ The lovely Dallas Temple! ^^

^^we actually look just like this quite often. I never know what I must have said ^^

Yay we've hit reception photos! Apparently I won't let myself go too far out of chronological order. 

^^ Trevor and Stephanie's Dad-aroos ^^

It was a super hot day, but sunny and beautiful- typical Texas ;) I can't believe my best friend got married already and I could not be more happy for her! I loved being able to go visit her and Trevor in their new apartment in Rexburg the time I was visiting. Sometimes it seems surreal.

We couldn't wait to get into Young Womens. We couldn't wait to go to stake dances. We couldn't wait to have boyfriends, to turn 16, to start driving. We'd all walk to Kroger, and we'd decorate our walls, and we'd have a triangle of trust. Stephanie and I cried on a bed together when we decided what to do for college, and how plans don't go the way you see them going but it turns out for the best anyways. 

It's been the three of us, and It will be till we're old and wrinkly. I know God placed me with these ladies for a reason, and I am always grateful. Stephanie has made my life better in so many ways and even though Trevor is her best friend now, she'll always have her girls. It's Ken+Joe+Steve forever, right? I love you Steph!
