All Ready!

The bags are packed... 

Maternity Leave has started and we are just waiting for my MOM to arrive! 

Mike keeps checking up every now and than to make sure that I am relaxing. I promise I am as I clear out the DVR!

We are officially 39 weeks and have Lambeau's stuff in order for his friends that will help us when we go into labor and our bags are waiting right by the door! .. OH I know you see some ABU...Mike's bags are in order as well because he could be called in at any moment to fly out for an exercise! I am a little worried about him leaving for the exercise but not to much being that I have my system in order for who to call and ect. We will be glad when little Mayana is HERE!!!

Michigan Baby Shower #5 !

Having a baby shower in my family is like INVITING the world. Well it is mostly because in a town like Holland where you have lived there forever... you know the world!

This shower was truly a blessing and filled with love and tons of people who I have grown up around. 

My mom was overly excited and with the help of the rest of her family (cousins, aunts, uncles) it truly was amazing! 

Now let me tell you getting it all home after two big vacation showers.. was the worst! I have never packed so many boxes to send home for one little girl! So spoiled and she is yet to be born!

The Derby Life..

Let me tell ya! I am a born derby girl at heart.. and when I say HEART I mean HEART! I have never fallen so much in my whole little life.. but every time I got back up.. proudly to skate again.

Meet The...

Beach Brawl Sk8R Dolls

On skates we are full of spirit and well just darn right mean! GRR!!! haha! 

There... truly are a few things in life that have changed my outlook .. and these girls are apart of that outlook! They are my DERBY FAMILY!

In September of last year I quickly fell in love with derby. After seeing the Vets. on skates I knew it was something I had to do to make life complete! I raced out and spent 200$ in gear and started my adventure in learning how to SKATE like the vets. on this team. Each skater was awesome enough to show me what I needed to learn and throw me around as well on the rink! 

Today I am on LOA and awaiting my return as a skater! I help where I can on the team and try to remain highly spirited ... I find sitting at the rink watching the drive and ambition from these women helpful in my journey back to DERBY LAND! Did I mention.. they were the first group of ladies that I had to tell that I WAS PREGNANT! Now days you can find me secretly putting on my skates in my home... trying to keep it on low profile.. so I do not get yelled at....
