Babies and Engagements and Beer, Oh My!

What a weekend we had!!  On Saturday August 14th, I helped to shower my good friend Hailey and her baby boy due in October in Corona Del Mar.  It was so much fun to help plan and throw a shower for a little boy!  Love the transportation theme she is going with and we had a great time catching up with friends and talking about all things BABY (my favorite topic these days, for obvious reasons!) Alex jumped at the chance to hang with Avery while I was helping out with the shower, and they both enjoyed some daddy/daughter time. 
After the shower it was off to Valencia to celebrate the engagement of my younger brother Corey and his wonderful bride-to-be Lauren. She already feels like my sister, but it was really great to get to know her friends and family and for our family to meet hers for the first time.  We had a great time and of course, Avery enjoyed being held and fussed over by everyone.
Finally, on Sunday we went to Stone Brewery with our good friends Kenji and Jessica.  I was able to enjoy some delicious beers (finally!) and we all had a fanstatic lunch.
Enjoy the pictures from our crazy weekend!
