If you're not sick of these yet....

Josh and I did some Christmas shopping today...

At first I wanted these:






Or possibly these:

But then Josh talked me into this:

It's finally official! Can't wait to start moving now! And it couldn't be better time, because judging by my pizza face, I'm guessing it's a girl.

17 weeks. Due May 15 :)

Have I mentioned I love my cricut?

Crafting can be fun!

Say Cheese!

Three poopy diapers and it's not even 9:30. Sigh. It's going to be a long, stinky day...

ROOAAAARRRR!

Have you ever seen a cuter dragon's butt? I didn't think so.

My Favorite Things (for now anyway)

Getting into drawers:

Tantrums when I can't play with things I find in drawers:

A pizza pan (I don't get it either):

He carries it everywhere

Checking out his hair in his reflection

Throwing things in the bathtub:

A puppy on a string:

The Dishwasher:

Outside:

Dear LaffyTaffy

Nobody likes banana. So please stop making it. Thank you.

Confession:

I watch iCarly sometimes. And I like it.

I love fall.

Even though it's still in the 90's here in AZ, somehow it still manages to feel like fall.

Dear Carden,

Remember when you used to look like this?

And then this?

And now you look like this:

I don't even know if I can call you a baby any more (even though I still do), because you are a big one year old! And you run all over the place and get into as much trouble as you possibly can!

I call you my little piggy, because, well you are. You love to eat and you love your puppy maggie, (you love her food as well. BLECH!). As soon as you hear me coming you take off in the opposite direction as fast as those chubby feet will take you.

Happy late birthday baby!

Love, Mama

It's A Monkey Party!

The invites:



The cupcakes:

The little piggy/monkey LOVING his birthday cake!:


The birthday boy with all of his loot:

The guests:

The decorations (made with my Cricut which I LOVE!)

Overall, I'd say it was a success :) (But maybe too much work to do for the next birthday!)

Remember when Carden went on a swing for the first time?

And he made super cute faces like this cause he loved it so much?

Well, now, not so much. He seriously did not breath for a full minute (red face) and never did crack a smile. I've tried swining with him in the backyard a couple times since and it's the same thing. He is so scared he grabs my arms and cries and won't let go. Maybe someday.


But he sure is happy if he gets to hold Maggie's leash!

We have a walker!

(as well as a hand-clapping, high-fiving, NOSE PICKER!)

TROUBLE!
