New toy!

This is my newest toy! I'm learning all I can about it...can't wait to go hiking and put it to the true test!

First Hike of the Season!

On 4/19/09 we went on our first hike for the season...hopefully plenty more to come! We went up to the wind caves and took Monty on his very first hike ever! He did very well, however he is so recklessly in love with everyone and he thinks that everyone loves him...We still have a lot more training to go!

Brandy's baby shower

About a month ago Trish and I planned a baby shower for Brandy. I'll start by showing you the invitation.We found the design on etsy.com from westwillow.etsy.com. She was awesome to work with and designed exactly what we had in mind. (just ignore the blank spots - I took out the personal info)

We decided to do more of an open house but we still wanted games, food and fun for everyone. So our menu was chicken salad croissants, italian pasta salad, chips, grapes, a fabulous drink (consisting of white grape juice and sprite) and of course "poop diaper" cookies. (see here for pic of cookies)

For games we had a table set up with all sorts of decorations.We did an attributes game where everyone had to guess who Brandy hoped baby Anders will take after, whoever guessed closest to Brandy's answers got a prize! We also had a guess how many buttons are in the baby bottle, and whoever was closest also won a prize. Then we just had an advice journal for Brandy that everyone wrote in. As for the decorations, the planet mobile was a gift from Trish to Brandy for her bday. I made the rocket ships and play cubes and Trish made the quilt.

Then we set up a table for everyone to decorate a onesie for baby Anders. This turned out to be so much fun and it proved to be worth the time of putting it all together!

I want to add that I think this little boy is by far the most spoiled baby ever! (and he's not even here yet!)

And that's just the beginning of the gifts...

I just thought I would pat myself (and Trish) on the back for the great job we did in planning this! Brandy, we love you and can't wait to meet Anders. You deserved every bit of this shower and more! I wish the best for you, Cam and Anders!

Happy Friday!

Thought I would share a "smile" with everyone!

She's Crafty

So we (being me and Trish) threw a baby shower for Brandy back on March 28. It was a ton of fun to plan and we had a lot of fun activities at the shower. (more on that in a later post...) As for now, I wanted to share with you the onesies that I painted and created!
I have to say that I am very proud of my creations! I made/drew the stencils for all but the "Oh Spit" one. Loads of fun and in my opinion, it's the best baby shower activity EVER! Click here to see Trish's creations.
