Welcome Baby Elsa....

This morning, before work Adolfo and I received a call that my cousin Christina was in labor and on her way to the hospital. All day I was so excited because I new by the end of the night baby Elsa would be with us! The whole weekend we were prepared if she would have come early!

This afternoon Adolfo and I loaded up and headed to Llano to wait until she decided to join her big new family! Poor Christina had been there all day, but finally around 7:30pm she was here. I think it was that time because we kept watching the Doctor, the nurses and finally a lady came out and said she saw a baby and we knew she was here. My aunt was running in and out of the delivery room grabbing our cameras to get action pictures and then she would run them out to us so we could see her! I love my family, we always find the ways to be together and involved!

Here we all are waiting outside the delivery area...

Baby Caden is tired, but ready for his partner in crime to be here and Adisyn is ready for her new cousin....

Us patiently waiting....

And then here she is Elsa Elizondo! She was 19.25 inches long and weighed a little over 7 lbs. She has dark black hair, hazel color eyes, long eye lashes and a slight sign of dimples...you just wanted to squeeze her!

First we introduced her to her cousin Caden. It is so exciting to think about how they will grow up so close to one another like me and all my other cousins got to do! They are going to be cousins and great friends, what else could you ask for...my beautiful new precious cousins!Aunt Selena and Baby Elsa during her first few minutes into the world....

Wedding Weekend Extravaganza...

This weekend was my Bachelorette Party in Fredericksburg, and I must say my girls know how to through a great time! We met that afternoon and started it all off with a wine tour at Becker's Vineyard, checked into the Hampton Inn, had dinner at my new favorite little hang out Hondo's and then ended it with a lingere shower. I had a great time being together with all you girls, there are alot of photos so lets just jump in!

I really had a wonderful time just relaxing and spending time with the girls, thank you all for being you and helping me celebrate this wonderful time in my life! So the next day was my Bridal Shower, and I will share a few more pics, and if you are still reading well here you go....

Needless to say, I had a very fun and busy weekend, and I appreciate everyone who played a part in putting this all together. Yall did an amazing job! So after all of this I need a nap. So, until next time, Ces.

I'm in recovery mode...

What a weekend, I have tons of photos and stories to share from the Wedding Extravaganza Weekend full of fun and very little sleep! As soon as I can post some of my favorite pics I will. I am currently in Web training, and received a phonecall this morning that by the end of this evening I will have a new baby cousin, Little Elsa!

So after this conference call and new client meeting, after I get off, Adolfo and I will head out to meet our new cousin Baby Elsa and visit the new Mommy and Daddy!

WHAT A YEAR IT HAS BEEN!

Really, Does life ever really slow down?

Its been a year....

I can't believe a year has come and gone so quickly. A year ago today Adolfo and I got engaged and now the time is almost here, WOW! This weekend was plenty eventful. Friday my firm had a celebration for receiving a Best Place to Work in Austin award. We were treated to a night of Happy Hours, Bowling and Fajitas. Adolfo and I had a great time and made new friends! It was really fun and if yall are ever in Austin you should check 300 Austin Bowling, its a really nice facility. We'll since we were having so much fun with our new friends we decided to go downtown, and man it has been awhile!

So we started with some dancing....good times!

And some more dancing and this time we got a treat! We had a great time hanging out with everyone we will definitely have to do this again!

So Saturday, Adolfo got up early and went fishing, it really had been too long for him, and he let me sleep in late. We had a UPS sticker on our door and I was completely confused because all our Wedding orders had already been delivered. What could it be?

Excuse the hair, this is the "Its Sat and I just got out of bed" look.

Its a special delivery for Adolfo and Celeste! I opened the box....

And Adolfo opened the present! Yeah our first Wedding gift! What a surprise...

So Saturday, my mother and Taylor came to stay with us because my Bridal portraits were on Sunday morning. We spent Saturday together shopping for the Mother of the Bride outfit, and we found it, my mom is going to look great. We did a little extra shopping for Tay and then my mother treated us all to Olive Garden. I really have the best mother EVER!

That evening we just went back home and relaxed because we had to be up bright and early for pictures. So Tay made cookies and we watched a movie, very relaxing!

So Sunday is here and what an adventure it was! This was my lovely Bridal Portrait Bouquet....

I took my portraits at a newer park in Austin, and I didn't really know what to expect. Wow, what an event. We got up really early Sunday, and let me tell you it is super hard to get into a wedding dress in the middle of a park parking lot. But after I was in, lol, we were ready to take picks. It was so hard walking a majority of the park, trying not to get the dress dirty, beating the sun so the picks would be great and my makeup still on, trying to make sure my hair wasn't blowing in my face. It really was a crazy day! But I trust my photographer and I know I will love my bridal portrait! I am just glad it is over. My mom on the other hand will probably not allow another daughter to take an outside shot again, sorry sisters, I guess it is one benefit of being the oldest.

So that afternoon we were pretty worn out and I am kinda glad it is Monday and back to work, for relaxation. I really enjoyed getting to spend time with the family and I appreciate them always being here for me more than they know! You keep me calm at a time where it is anything but!

I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend, Until next time. Ces.
