Leslie and Sheldon’s Wedding

Leave a comment
My dear friend Leslie and her adorable fiance’ Sheldon were hitched, tied the knot,… in other words they got married! They were married at Calamigos Ranch at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center in Burbank. The  ceremony was simple but beautiful and their officiant was very funny. I don’t think I have ever seen a smile that big on Leslie’s face and I have known her for a while now. Sheldon looked just as happy and excited. These two were made for each other. What a joyous day!

The Beautiful Bridesmaid Shayla.  I haven’t seen her in 18 years! It was so wonderful to catch up with her!

Here Comes the Gorgeous Bride!

Big and beautiful smiles for the almost newlyweds.

They said “I Do”! 

The newly married couple. They look wonderful and so happy!

The reception was wonderful as well. Leslie even surprised her guests with a flash mob piece. I wanted to do it but I was unable to make most of the rehearsals or even sit down and learn it. I was pretty bummed but I also didn’t want to bring the group down on her wedding day. The food was wonderful and the drinks were plenty. I don’t drink much, if ever these days so the few cocktails and the glass of wine that I had left me a bit on the happy side. It was nice though. I had the chance to catch up with a friend I hadn’t seen in nearly 18 years, I got to dance with Shaun and I had the chance to dance with my friends. We also enjoyed the photo booth too! It was a magical night.  And to top it all off, as we were sitting eating our dinner we discovered via Twitter that the Los Angeles Kings beat Vancouver in OT to move onto the second round of playoffs! Shaun and I had even more reason to get up and dance!

Our table. Loved that each table was a different car!

The Newlyweds!

Leslie and Sheldon’s First Dance. I love the way she is looking at him. Priceless.

All those glasses are clinking… its time for a kiss!

The garter toss… this is too funny!

We hated to leave that night but it had to be done. I left happy and bubbly, spending time with friends and catching up. That and I am sure the whine helped with it. Congrats Leslie and Sheldon! You deserve all the happiness, love and wonderful memories ahead of you!

The Hitchin’s Done… Now Let’s Party!

The Father and Mother of the Bride… What a great looking pair they are!

Introducing, Mr. and Mrs. Jeff and Mackenzie Dake!

The happy couple finally getting a bite to eat!

The adorable guest book and gift table!

Our beautiful table which included some lovely treats and toys for the girls!

I think the bell says it all. It was fun ringing them though and getting the couple to steal a kiss from one another!

The beautiful and very tasty cake.

Abby and Grady took some time to dance and steal a few kisses of their own! Too cute for words!

All the kiddos hit the dance and boogied down. Who Let the Dogs Out!?

The tracks before sunset. Today could have not been a more perfect day.


The cake has been cut and Kenzi has the look of “DO NOT SMASH THAT CAKE IN MY FACE MR. DAKE”

The tracks ran in front of the barn where the reception took place. But on those trucks stood an engine and two cars that once was part of the Disneyland Railroad back in the 1960’s. Very cool if you ask me, but then again I am obsessed with Disneyland!

The tracks just as the sun began to set on the most perfect day! What a great wedding for a great couple! Congratulations again Mr. and Mrs. Dake!

*Thank you to Nancy, Melissa and Betty for the wonderful pictures. Glad to have some more since I didn’t have a chance to take any that day!*

Welcome to the Baby Babbler!

Hello and Welcome to The Baby Babbler!

Shaun and I want to welcome you to our blog, which will keep everyone up to date about the baby, our lives and much more. But first, lets back track and make sure that everyone is up to speed!

Shaun and I were married on June 16th, 2007 and so much has happened since then! After returning home from our honeymoon we spent not more then a month together in Shaun’s house in Woodland Hills, California. By September we were completely packed up and on our way to Seattle, Washington to start a new adventure together. The house was put on the market and sold in October. By the end of Novemeber we were moving into a beautiful home and officially settling in.
On February 3, 2008 (Super Bowl Sunday to be exact) after about 7 different tests and the most advanced piece of technology any girl will ever pee on, Shaun and I discovered that we were pregnant! It took forever to get into a doctor up here, but we did recieve the official word and our first ultrasound at about 10 weeks. Once we discovered that we were pregnant, Shaun and I realized jut how much we missed California and that we really would like to be back “home” again. So now we are on our way and ready to get back to family and friends!
More for everyone later! Take care and keep checking back with us!
