baby shower in a box

i have many, many blessings in my life. one is a life filled with good friends who have been such an important source of love and support. they are all over the US of A. i am so blessed!

most recently, my friend hailey cahoon, put together a shower in a box for me and christian. it included everything - decorations, games, refreshments, prizes and gifts from friends from oregon to louisiana. christian and i had a blast at our shower and we were so grateful for the generosity and love from so many friends.

oh baby!

we are getting the nursery/office/bike room all put together in anticipation of minnie's arrival. as part of this venture, we put the crib together. (when i say we, i mean christian put the crib together while i stood in the same room trying to be helpful, but failing miserably.) a big thanks to nana and papa (my mom and dad) for purchasing her lovely crib!

sandy and linda fisher made this darling little number for us (and minnie). isn't it cute?!?! thanks sandy and linda!

how to say i love you?

november 6th, 2011 was our third "i love you" anniversary. the "i love you" anniversary tradition began when we proclaimed our love to one another by writing it on a cake in front of some good friends. it was a fun and funny night filled with laughter, cake, roses, balloons, a gummy bear tossing contest and a lot of love. this year, was a little more low key. i wanted to do something for the one i love to let him know how much i love him. turns out, the best way to tell a man you love him is...bacon roses! he was elated. i was too! the best part, as they have been sitting on the table for the last few days, the aroma of bacon has filled the room. bacon roses...the gift that keeps on giving!

harry potter halloween

halloween 2010 consisted of:

tasty pumpkin soup,

dressing up like a pregnant lady (27 weeks),

and a delightful harry potter party!

check out this spread...

christian won the golden egg broom race.

he also won the tri-wizard cup because he racked up the most points during all the games

i couldn't have been prouder!

p.s. we can't take credit for any of the creativity or innovation of the party. we were just attendees. wes and rebecca (ron and hermione) hosted it, and did a phenomenal job.
