Tripp's Sip-n-See

So... better late than never. This past February, my dear friends Mindy, Lucy, Marina and Elizabeth hosted a beautiful Sip-n-See for our precious Tripper Boy. When I found out I was pregnant with this little guy, we decided to wait and do any sort of "shower" until his arrival seeing as I really didn't NEED anything and I didn't know if he would be a boy or a girl. Well Tripper, your little celebration was worth the wait - it was over the top wonderful in every single way. You truly are our little heartthrob... your little smile and snuggles bring butterflies to my tummy every single day.

The beautiful invitation, designed by Marina.... she is SO talented and seeing as I STILL haven't done a birth announcement, this worked for the few friends that were able to join the party :).
 
Three of the lovely hostesses... Marina, Liz and Mindy. Lucy couldn't be there and we missed her so... Tripper loves his LuLu.
 
Two of Tripp's grandmas.... Dot-Dot and Nanna. We missed Pamie!
 
The shower was hosted at Raedean's house (Mindy's mom)... to date, I believe she has hosted 3 showers for me in her lovely home. It is always incredibly decorated for every season so it was perfect that Tripp's shower fell at Valentines. Look at these Valentines she has saved from her kiddos over the years!
 
Precious college and post-college friends...
 
Some of the amazing girls from our book club....
 
Small group friends...
 
The amazingly yummy brunch spread... some of my very favorites, including: monkey bread and yogurt parfaits... so, so yummy.
 
The drink station... let's just pause at the detail that these girls put into everything.... it was gorgeous!
 
Tripp left with his first batch of valentines... I love these precious keepsakes that the girls wrote to Tripper boy.... he is such a lover, he will think they are awesome too
 
The mantle....
 
So, not our best picture... but Tripper boy, Momma and Daddy's hearts really have FLIPPED for you. We love you so much, buddy.
 
And to my precious friends, thank you for loving my kiddos and ME so well.

Jackson Hole Rector Family Favorites

We love to travel - honestly, can never get enough of it and hope to see so much of this big ole' world in this lifetime. Because we are not professional travelers (but like, can I sign up for that?) we have limited time and resources just like most people do. I LOVE to explore new places - cities, countries, cultures and we need to get to it if we want to even scratch the surface of globe trotting. There are, however, a few places that continue to call us back over and over again.... one, Hawaii: another post for another time, but we have been so fortunate to go almost annually with BJ's parents since I met and married him. What a gift we will never take for granted! We have so many fun memories, moments and suggestions for Maui and Kauai, but that I'll save that for another day. two, Jackson Hole: our very favorite summer destination. I cannot imagine growing tired of the Grand Tetons and this little spot of the country is our dose of heaven on earth. We've traveled a...

12 years later.

Tonight, 12 years ago, I enrolled as a Rodan + Fields consultant. I’ve shared so many times about my journey and how I am still taken by surprise for that level of bravery to embark on a professional journey I was so scared to do. Today, on what should be the celebration of my Rodanniversary, has instead turned out to be one of the most surreal, painful, and grief-filled moments of my entire life. The Rector’s livelihood was taken away in an instant with a restructuring of R+F’s business model… I woke up today having no clue I would be receiving this news and am finishing the day pinching myself to see if I am really and truly experiencing this nightmare.  I have one million thoughts and none at all at the exact same time. Tonight, after processing the reality for myself and with BJ, we chose to sit Eleanor and Tripp down to have the impossible conversation with them - one we genuinely never dreamed could ever come about. And I never want to forget what we talked about around our d...

Rector 2.0

So, on April 2, 2011, I woke up to this... I immediately showed Eleanor to confirm... "Momma, are you kidding me??!!" So, we held off telling our families until Easter and had a great plan to reveal Eleanor as the BIG SISTER at the dinner table... we didn't think about that lunch was right after her nap, so she was a little groggy and looks unhappy, but we couldn't keep it anymore.... So a few days later we tried to take some pictures again to prove that Eleanor is VERY excited! We can't wait to meet you, Baby Rector #2!! As of now, we look forward to November 22nd when you will enter this world... (you are due December 1, but because I will have a C-section, you birthday is currently scheduled for November 22!)... but we are SO thankful to the Lord for your life as you grow inside of Momma right now and we are praying FERVENTLY for you... same as we did for your precious, big sister... healthy baby, who chooses Jesus at an early age and never once doubts that Mom...
