Baby Shower Pictures/Re-Construction!

Just an FYI-my sister-in-law was so kind to make a slide of the baby shower pictures she took for me and made a slide and uploaded it to my blog. So if you would like to check out the pictures, just scroll down! She also uploaded this new blog template for me and I lost almost everything,but my posts. So I am starting from scratch, but looking forward to playing with it and hopefully making it cuter! Thanks again Steph-you're awesome and love ya!

Getting Ready for the Big Day!

Wade has been a really busy Dad! He has spent the past 2 weekends getting things ready for his little girl! First he put up some bead board and trim and then he did his favorite part-painted! After spending his whole Saturday painting, he still had the energy to climb up in the attic to get the crib down so that we could put the bedding in it and see how it all came together. We think it turned out really cute and I think my hubby did an amazing job! He is very talented with his handy work and I love him to pieces! Thank you Wade!

A Special Visit!

Last week my Aunt Edeltrud came to visit from Germany! It was her first time coming to the U.S. The last time I saw her was when I went to Germany at age 13. It was fun to have her here and visit with her.
Mason and Aunt Edeltrud. We kept telling Mason that this was is Oma's (grandma) sister, but he insisted on just calling her Oma's friend!
The night before she left to go back to Germany, we had a family dinner at Johnny & Steph's house and everyone was there. This is Aunt Edeltrud with Jakob, Mason and all of their cousins!
A picture of the girls! My Mom, Aunt Edeltrud, my sister, Julie and me, looking nice and plump! It was great to have her and we will miss her!

My Baby Shower!

Yesterday I was given a baby shower by my wonderful family and friends and it was so much fun! Unfortunately, my camera was there, but did not get used so I don't have any pictures to post. But I just wanted to say thank you to all who came and to my family and friends that put the shower together! I received some wonderful gifts: dresses, bows, bracelets, shoes, blankets, diapers and more! Now I just can't wait for the little princess to get here, she is going to be one stylin' chic! Thanks again to everyone for making yesterday a special day for me to always remeber!

Happy New Year!

Since Wade will forever be working on New Year's Eve, we went and celebrated at my friend Shalayne's house. Her and 4 other girls that live by me all have husband's that work at Metro, so we decided to all get together and let our kids play and have some munchies. At about 11:00 p.m. we took the kids outside to throw some confetti and do some poppers and party horns! The kids had fun playing and the girls had fun chatting!
After the excitment ended at my friends house ended we headed home to watch the fireworks on t.v. and believe it or not, both the boys actually made it to midnight and saw the fireworks! Jakob thought he was really cool for staying up that late. (Thank goodness for me they slept in till about 9:30 the next morning!)

Make a postcard - it's easy!

Ethel M. Chocolate Factory!

Last weekened we took the kids to the chocolate factory to see the beatiful Christmas lights and Santa of course! Here is Jakob looking like "Gangsta G" with his beanie pulled down so far you can barely see his eyes.
Mason and Santa! He couldn't wait to tell Santa that he wants a blue scooter for Christmas!
Here is the fam! The picture is a little blurry, but this is in the botanicle catus garden. If you have ever been, you know what an amazing job they do with the lights. If you haven't been, you should go, it is a fun christmas activity and best of all, it's free to the public! Not to mention the free sample of chocolate you get after take a little tour of the factory!
