Classic Santa Picture

Fun with Grandma Leanne

Grandma Leanne came down for the day to hang out with us. We went to Thanksgiving point and then carved an Ariel pumpkin. We had a lot of fun!

Owens Birthday Cake...ARG

My Nephew Owen turned 4 and he requested an Octopus cake. It turned out pretty cute and he loved it. We had a party at the aquarium and all the kids were decked out in pirate attire as they arrived. I didn't get a picture of Addy...hmm what a bad Mom I am. She was busy running around so I couldn't get her to hold still.

My baby is ONE....

I can't believe my Macy baby is ONE. It's crazy how fast my life seems to go by and it gets faster and faster every year. Since Macy loves ice cream that was the theme to her party and we followed that up with a little splashing. What a fun day. Happy Birthday Macy.

Chelsea and Ryans Wedding Cake

I am loving this new hobby of making cakes. After Chelsea saw the birthday cake I made for Addy she asked if I would make her wedding cake and of course I said yes. Chelsea told me what she wanted and I made it come to life. It was a lot of work and stress but so much fun and it turned out perfect. Their wedding was so much fun.

A party for a Princess

If you asked Addy what she wanted for her birthday she said she wanted a Rapunzel tower cake and a party with her friends so that's what she got. I am a horrible Mom and didn't get many pictures of Addy's little Rapunzel birthday party. Addyson said "Mom this is the best birthday I've ever had" being that she turned 3 I hope she has many more great ones to come.

I love watching all the cake shows on TV so I decided that I wanted to attempt one. Jeff was my carpenter and together we created a pretty great cake maybe we should enter a competition. It was a lot of fun. Happy Birthday Princess Addyson we love you.



We asked Addy after everyone left what she wished for when she blew her candles out and she named off all the presents people brought. Nice work everyone for choosing your gifts and thank you for coming and making it a great day for our little girl.

The BIG 30

I always remember when I was little thinking how old people who were 30 seemed. I changed my mind. We are young! Jeff turned 30 on Easter Sunday and I believe the Easter festivities trumped his lime light so we didn't get any pictures of him opening presents at our house. We did celebrate Jeff and Addy's birthdays at Grammys house so we got some pictures there. The older we get the more we want to forget our birthdays but I think it was a pretty good day.

Easter 2011

I've been on a Martha Stewart kick lately so I decided I'd make the girls Easter baskets. I saw these on a website and decided to recreate them they turned out great.

Addy will hate this picture later in life she had a huge mouth full of candy.

We had a lot to celebrate this Easter. It was Macys first Easter and she loved making messes, eating candy and watching Addy run around looking for eggs.

5 Months...

I can't believe my baby is already 5 months old. I'm such a slacker after 5 months I'm finally getting around to posting pictures of her. Although Macy had a rough start in life she is thriving now and we are loving every minute of our sweet little girl. Macy is such a great baby I am so lucky.

Macy was born 3 weeks early because my blood pressure was really high, I was considered full term so we didn't think our baby girl would have any problems but we were wrong. Macy's little lungs weren't quite ready, she was born with premature lung disease and was admitted into the NICU for 5 days. It was a tough time and we were so excited for her to come home she was released on oxygen and we had to keep her on oxygen for an additional 3 weeks at home. Macy is so healthy and growing right on track.





You can't see them but we got Macy's ears pierced she looks so grown up now.

Macy's first cereal, she loved it!
