Life Vantage Convention 2012

This past week we got to attend the Life Vantage Convention in Anaheim California! It was an amazing experience and was so fun to see all our life vantage family which keeps growing and growing! I couldn't be more grateful for Jonny and Jeremy and all their hard work!! They officially hit Pro 8 a few months ago and are working hard to hit Pro 9!! The first night the company picked up the elite ranks and brought us in a limo to a yummy dinner. It was hard to dress up for a black tie event being so pregnant - but it was fun! These pics are not in order- but here they are! :)

Jeremy and Mindy on the Red Carpet :)

Donny Osmand- Pretty sure Declan is a fan because he was kickin me like CRAZY while he was singing :)

How to bowl when your almost nine months pregnant

Fred Graves, his wife, Jon, and I

The ladies can't ever get enough of Jonny :) Always cracks me up :)

Fred and Jonny after speaking at one of their break out sessions! They did such a good job!!! The room was packed every time they did their session! It's amazing to see people sitting in the isles- the front- standing across the back to see these boys speak! They did SUCH a good job together too :)

Jon and I before getting on stage

SO SO proud of Randy and Kara being recognized for hitting Pro 6! Way to go guys!! :)

Life Vantage rented out the bowling alley for a night which was a blast!

Yes that's me at the microphone speaking in front of 4500 people- seriously had a panick attack and could have given BIRTH on stage I was so nervous- but HEY I'm slowly working on saying more than my name up there :)

 Chris, Eric, and Trish with Jonny- love you guys!

Jonny and Jeremy! These boys have worked SO hard and deserve to be Pro 8- so incredibly proud of them!!!

AND- a few more bowling pics :)

The next event is in Orlando Florida (next to HARRY POTTER LAND!) I seriously can't wait- and Declan will be 8 weeks old so it will be so fun! Can't wait!!!! SO proud of you Jonny!!!

Declan Over Time :)

I thought it would be fun to see how Declan has changed over the past eight months or so. They grow up SO fast...haha! :) All the complications have things rough BUT the one positive side is I got LOTS of pictures of my boy. :) I have done a few more since then but with his amniotic fluid levels low we can't get 3d images- SO they kind of all look the same at the end of his profile. Here they are! :)

These gals spent HOURS setting up the day before and literally risked their lives, marriages, and children for the day- haha! It really was quite the event. Thank you ladies!!!!!

Baby Shower Madness

My little sister Sara and my best friend Jenn decided to throw me the most glorious baby shower of all time. For reals- these girls did not leave out any details! I will be doing a whole separate post just on all their cute decorations-I LOVED it and was so grateful for all the friends and family who came out to support me and baby Declan! We got tons of good stuff and I am super excited now to know what's left over to buy! I have 8 weeks (hopefully) to get that all in order and it will be quite the task. :)

Ya I'm holding pee pee tepees?? Hahaha! I had never heard of them before but I about died...too funny!

So many of my amazing friends and family showed up- I love you all SO SO much :)

My cute cousins- Love them!

Lexi got jealous and jumped on my lamp half way through present opening. :) Silly doggie.

My new homemade moby wrap!! Can't wait to use this Laura thank you!!!!! :)

This girl (Sheila) got pregnant by in vitro 4 weeks after me by the same doctor! She was on my team at work and we have become the best of friends- can't wait for her baby girl to get here so Declan will have a girlfriend :)

The hosts of the party- thanks again ladies for all your hard work!

My poor doggy got a homemade dog collar made out of ribbon from the kids- luckily someone caught this and loosened the collar. Poor Lexi- she looked pooped by the end of the day too. SO funny though!

My sister, mom, and I after a really exhausting day! :)

Ya that hat is for Declan- is that not the cutest thing ever? Obsessed.

My Beautiful Bestie Jenn!

AND...because I am obsessed with my adorable nephew I have to post a few pictures of him too :) Luke and Declan will be the best of buds in life I already know.

Thank you to Sara, Jenn, Cheryl, Linny, Tawnee, Mindy, BOTH my moms, and my sister in laws for working so hard on my shower! :) Love you all so much!

This is the mess I have to look forward to cleaning! :)
