Baby Shower hosted by Lalani

My dear friend Lalani had an amazing baby shower for me and several of my girlfriends on Saturday, May 24th. It was a fantastic event and a joy to be able to visit with people that I hadn't seen in awhile. The baby and I felt very, very loved and had so much fun! Pictured below are Lalani and the beautiful shower display. She even had a picture of our little boy, where everyone could sign words of encouragement and provide advice. The setting was perfect!

Here are Lalani and I proudly pointing out the beautiful cupcake tower, oh la la!!!

These are pictures of my friends who were able to attend, pictured from left to right, starting with the top row, Chandra and baby Abi, Blake, Monica, Jenae and Megan.

On the other side of the room from left to right, Amy, Julie, Sandi, Kelley and of course our amazing host Lalani.

Here I am during the gift segment of the event, opening a very delicious and creative present from Blake; she and her husband James had sent us a package in the mail and thus wanted to bring a homemade treat for us to enjoy that day. Thank you Blake- Jim, baby and me have all been enjoying the wonderful cookies!

Rhett and Debra's Wedding

My brother got married on Sunday, May 18th at 2:00 p.m. at Oak Leigh in Sacramento. It was wonderful event although slightly toasty due to the unseasonably hot day in May. Nevertheless the wedding was perfect and my brother and his new bride Debra looked amazing.

Below is a picture of the cake and the toast featuring Rhett's best man, Larry and Debra's maid of honor and sister, Laura.

Jim and I were honored to also be included in the wedding party. Baby got to experience the day too and was moving with joy during the ceremony! We had a blast and loved being able to celebrate the blessed union with family and friends who traveled to be in attendance. Congratulations again from the Knight Family, Rhett and Debra! We love you and have fun in Hawaii!!!

I will include a link with more pictures from the photographer once they become available. Stay tuned! :)

OC AIDS Walk

On Saturday, May 10, we participated in the 22nd Annual OC AIDS Walk at Angels Stadium of Anaheim with our church family, RockHarbor and about 5,000 other supporters. It was a great time of fellowship and support as the cause raised about $750,000. Our group had on orange shirts- this is why we are wearing orange in case you were wondering. Pictured below are members of our amazing life group Marilyn, co-leader, Amanda, Kimberly, Corey, and of course Jim and me. Amanda's mom was joined us on the walk and took this picture, thanks Valerie! :)

The walk took us around the field inside Angels Stadium. It was very cool! You can see the scoreboard behind us in the picture.

Overall the day was a blast! Our son had a good time and enjoyed the exercise. You can see him in the shots above too as he continues to grow each and every day. We were so glad to participate and enjoyed the time with our friends and the opportunity to help the fight against the disease and to raise money for those affected by HIV and AIDS in Orange County.

Cat and Dan's Beautiful Beach Wedding

On Friday, May 9th our good friend Catherine got married to her sweetie, Dan. They had a beautiful beach wedding on Balboa Peninsula. At one point, dolphins even put on a show right in front of the ceremony. Things couldn't have gone any better. After the wedding we were treated to a fabulous reception at the Cannery on Balboa Island- it was an outstanding evening! Pictured below are the happy new couple, Amanda, me and Jim. Congratulation's Catherine and Dan! We love you!
