Baby Shower

My mother-in-law threw me a beautiful baby shower last Saturday. It was great to see so many friends and family! I was exhausted after working Friday night and then waking up early (9 am is early when you get off of work at 1 am and don't fall asleep until 2 or 3 am) to set up for the shower. Rigo, his dad, and brother set up and decorated the night before...and I must say, they did an awesome job for a bunch of guys. Hehe.
















We had quite a turn out and there was still food left over! I still have some of the yummy cake in the fridge that my mom brought.
















I felt bad because I don't think I got a chance to say hi to everyone...a few people came late while I was opening gifts, and even though I was trying to go as fast as possible, most of them left before I was done! Lol...I didn't expect anyone to stay that long though...I felt like I wasn't making any progress cuz it took forever!


So it was a wonderful and tiring day...and we even went to my parents house after to celebrate Rojohn's 30th Birthday! Happy Birthday Kuya! You're the best big brother ever!

Here are some more pictures from the baby shower...

Our Baby Girl's Name...

Well...we chose a name for our baby girl...

*Kaylana Marie Canizalez*

I actually made up the name Kaylana when I was a freshman in college, and my sister was pregnant with her first baby...it got me thinking of baby names I guess...haha. Rigo and I love the name though. Rigo chose her middle name, and we think it sounds really nice. Here's a pic of the letters we had made and hung above her crib.


Last Sunday we had the opportunity to attend the baby blessing of Lacy, the daughter of our good friends, Adam & Shawna. She is so cute and already huge after only 7 weeks! We're so excited that our daughters will only be a few months apart...Shawna and I are looking forward to mother-daughter times (shopping sprees...LOL) together! We already go out with Lacey and have a good time.
My little bro, T.J., graduated from Hayward High last night. Can't believe it...I feel old! We're excited for him and are eager to see what the future awaits for him. He will be 19 in December and can't wait to see another missionary serving the Lord. I know it will be a challenging and life-changing experience for him and will make him a better man and future husband and father.Oh yes...I am getting HUGE at only 7 months along. We ate at Carrow's after where Rojohn, Merilee, and baby Ashilene met up with us. I love my little neice...she's growing! Such a cutie!Fun picture after eating...I love seeing my parents excited with their grandchildren! Can't wait til Kaylana comes so we can have another addition to our growing family! There will be 3 little girls within a year of each other and we are so excited for them to grow up and know all their cousins!
