Lindsey's Baby Shower

I had the pleasure of throwing Lindsey's baby shower and it turned out fabulous!! She's done 2 for me so I had to make sure I made it perfect! It was a lot of fun and she got some great gifts!

The great food!
The cute little cookies

All the gifts!!

Such a pretty mama

Fabulous friends!!

Best friends for life! Love her!!!

My first diaper cake...I think it turned out fabulous and I had a ton of fun making something personal and special for Lindsey.

Jamboree 2009

Jamboree was a blast as usual!! We spent the days at the lake and the evenings at the Jamboree. It was so nice to be in the sun and have a weekend with my friends!

Just getting to our camp spot

Uncle Larry and I

Mom and Dad

Day at the lake! Ryan came and brought the boys!

The last day we left the lake and took the boys with us to the jamboree. They loved all the goodies they got and loved dancing to the music!

Austin's 1st Haircut

About a week after Austin's first birthday he got his first haircut. It was such a different experience than Hayden's first one (he cried the entire time)! Austin actually enjoyed it and was so funny! He sat there like a perfect little boy and let Jennifer cut away! He really liked the spray bottle. I loved his fresh new look but he looks so much older now. Oh how they grow up so fast!

All ready for the cut!

He thinks Jennifer is so funny!

Such a pretty boy!

Cousin Fun!!

So this summer has been filled with fun with Colton. It's so nice that he finally gets to be a part of the family and the boys are getting the chance to build memories. They have a lot of fun together and I just love him to pieces! It's so funny cause all 3 boys look so much alike. Ryan and I had all three of them on a walk one evening and a lady looked at us like we were crazy having 3 boys all so small...she even said, "boy you have your hands full" and I just laughed and said they weren't all mine. 3 boys, ages 1, almost 2, and 3! They are so close in age, it's so fun! I even told Ryan before going on that walk that people probably thought they all were ours and we were crazy! Anyways, we've had a lot of fun adventures with all the kiddos together this summer and I look forward to all the new ones coming up!

Oh man...finally gonna catch up...gonna be a long few posts!

Ok so first off...way back in July (gosh I hope I never get this far behind again!) we had a wonderful 1st birthday party for Austin! He got tons of great gifts and had a blast with his cake! I made his own personal cake and it was a beach ball since his theme was kind of "beach" like. It was a blast!

Grandma George made this sign for Austin out by their deck.

Also...Friday is mine and Ryan's 5 year wedding anniversary! Happy Anniversary Ryan!! I love ya tons and can't wait for many more to come! Anyways, I've been horrible about posting and so I promise when I get back I've got lots to catch up on! P.S. My best friend Lins is due in about 14 days or so...I'm praying she doesn't have little Dylan while I'm gone! Keep your fingers crossed :).

Happy 1st Birthday Austin!!!!!

This past year has been by far the fastest one of my life. I cannot believe that right now at this time last year (8:44pm) I was just a few hours away from giving birth to my baby Austin. Today he is one years old and it has been blowing my mind all day. He's not a baby anymore and it makes me so sad. Bittersweet really. I love the little boy he is becoming but will miss his babyness. He has been such an easy baby from the day he was born and has continued to be pretty well mannered still. Unlike Hayden, Austin isn't quite walking yet. He loves to stand up and has even started dancing while standing up today so I think it's in our very near future! I know he'd love to be able to keep up with Hayden. Tonight I bought him a cupcake to enjoy after his dinner since his party isn't until this weekend. Needless to say (this boy loves any food) he loved it!! As soon as I placed it on his tray he swooped it up and started eating it. He's so funny! Well anyways, here's just a few picks so you can see just how big he's gotten since he was born!

He was so precious!
His new favorite "hobby" is helping with the dishes. LOL
