I have a vegetable garden!

So, Heather and I have decided to plant a vegetable garden this year. We started with seeds and planted them yesterday. I am really excited. We decided to plant corn, peppers, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, thyme, green onions, mint and basil.

We have started indoors for now since it is still freezing outside. I will post more pictures as our seedlings begin to grow. Wish me good luck because we are gonna need it! I haven't grown anything before but I think it will be fun to eat food I have grown - but we will see.

Heather's Baby Shower

I had the very fortunate opportunity to help with Heather's baby shower (my sister-in-law - I love her:). I had so much fun with the decorations - I could easily be a party planner - at least the decorating parts - I am not so good with food. I had so much fun!
I decided to do a clothesline of the cute little outfits she already had.

I love coordinating napkins and paper goods and food displays. It's the funnest part. The napkins ended up looking like roses. I hadn't really planned it that way until I got started making them. I wrapped the utensils with the napkins.

Finally - the best/cutest was the diaper cake. I know most people have already seen one before but it was the first one I have made with any great success. So FYI - if anyone is planning a baby shower, let me know because I love planning! It's much more fun planning baby girl showers because it's supposed to be cutesy but boys can be fun too.

A Mom's Right...

His little personality is shining through :) He is so much fun I can hardly stand it. I just really being able to see him grow and learn each day. He recently had his first real haircut. He immediately stopped looking like a baby and became a little boy. I am not sure I am ready for that - but I guess it is coming anyway.
There are never enough binkies for this boy! He has three in his right hand, one in his left and one in his mouth. I think it's an obsession! I usually am lucky to find one binkie at any given time but one night Emron found his stash under his crib - so now we have 5.
Ethan's latest move is lounging! He loves crossing his legs when he sits with us and now he has started putting his hands behind his head just to relax from his very stressful days!

Once in a Blue Moon

Apparently it is time for me to update the blog. I have no idea if anyone even reads my blog because I don't ever post. But, in case there is that one person who wants to know...here is the latest.


Happy 1st birthday Ethan! My little baby boy is now one! I can't believe it - it has been the fastest year of my life. Ethan is walking all over the place. More and more teeth keep coming in...fun. We just got back from Maui with the Andrew family. We had a great time - we took Ethan and it was fun but I don't think he will be joining us next time.

I have a medical question for anyone. My shoulders hurt so bad. I can't sleep and it is difficult for me to rotate my arms or raise them. Typing, etc is getting more difficult. What should I do? I know I need to see a doctor, but who? I have a busted knee too. I am falling apart and I am only 28. That's all for now...I hear Ethan awake.
