Reconnecting

I was so excited to learn that one of my childhood friends, Tracy, now lives in Colorado! We moved here around the same time, but didn't know that about each other until recently. After discovering we live in the same state we decided to get together earlier this week. It was so fun to catch up with her and have her meet Rick and Adelaide. I have known Tracy for as long as I can remember and now she is a teacher and I am a mom... I feel like we are so grown up, but not really.

Adelaide loved Tracy! :)

I love Adelaide's cheeky face here.

Another Birthday Weekend

When I was 11 I started babysitting for a family in my neighborhood that I knew from church. At the time they had two little boys, and when their third child (a girl!) was born I got to watch her as well. I babysat at least once a week until I left for college and became very close with the family. When I went away to school they moved to Colorado, so now that I am here it has been so great to reconnect. Now there are two new little boys and another baby on the way. One of the boys is named Cooper and his first birthday party was over the weekend.

Happy 1st Birthday Cooper!

You can imagine with 5 kids there are plenty of awesome toys around, but water bottles are still their favorites.

She has never been to McDonald's, so she loved this!

We borrowed this Excersaucer and it makes both mommy and baby quite happy.

Oh, and I got my hair cut. It is a little shorter than expected but the great thing about hair is that it grows. And the great thing about prenatal vitamins is that they help hair grow faster. I found some leftover from last pregnancy and I am back to taking them religiously:)

Adelaide Gets Extreme Part 2

Rick and Adelaide have so much fun together :)

Happy Birthday Rick!

Earlier this week we celebrated Rick's 28th birthday! It was a little sad because he had to be at school from 7 am to 10 pm but we had a little party when he got home.

Rick playing his guitar cake.

(Thank you Jana for this awesome idea!)

28 candles... you are getting old!

Rick contemplating the great task of blowing out all the candles.

He's going for it!

Success!

The only thing he asked for: a "U" bike lock.

He really loved this personalized gift bag with a crayon drawn picture of our little family.

All in all I think he had a pretty good birthday:)

We love you Rick!

Flower Headbands at Poppy

I'm pretty excited because an adorable boutique just off Pearl Street called Poppy is going to try out selling some of my headbands... Hopefully people buy them!

Adelaide Gets Mobile

I guess it's time to baby proof our apartment.
