Baby Max Turns One!

March 8, 2014

Max is the baby of one of the families in our small group...we have known Max since he was in his Mommy's tummy and we absolutely adore him. He is always smiling and so happy to see everyone. It is hard to believe he is already turning one! We had such a fun time celebrating with him at his house- his Mommy did such a great job decorating and planning the party. And I must add that the weather was perfect outside so we were able to enjoy their brand new swing set- yay!! Happy 1st Birthday, Max!!!

Finishing up February 2014

February 20, 2014:

Caleb went on a field trip at school to the Early Works Children's Museum downtown. I was so excited to chaperone it too! I love watching Caleb interact with his friends and learning about all of the kids that he talks about each day. It was a really fun trip. We have been to the museum several times but we hadn't been in a while so Caleb was excited to visit.

On one of the rare sunny and warm Saturday mornings this February, we headed to the park to play! The kids were so excited to get out in the sunshine and run around.

Then on Sunday afternoon, the kids were up early enough from nap to head to the Botanical Gardens. This isn't it's prettiest time of the year with no flowers, brown grass, etc. but we enjoyed walking/running around, watching the fish in the pond, and checking on the turtles.

A Tea Party for Baby

February 22, 2014

Last month, me and a few friends hosted a sweet baby shower for a friend in our Sunday School class. She is having her 3rd baby and it's a girl! We chose to do a tea party with a monogram theme. It was so sweet! I had a really fun time working with my friends Julie and Jenn to make sure everything was perfect for baby Jocelyn's shower. We had several snacks including wraps, strawberry sandwiches, fruit, petit fors, and more. I had fun coming up with a few monogrammed touches for decorations using my Cricut machine too. For our activity, we decided to let everyone decorate teacups. We found blank white teacups and had tons of colored sharpies for everyone to draw on their cups. Because of a time constraint, we went them home with instructions to bake the cups for 1hr in the oven on 350 then turn off the oven and let the cup cool in the oven. Everyone was so creative and it was fun to see the many different ideas we all had for our cups. Then lastly, Jocelyn was showerd with so so many cute, girly gifts! We can't wait to meet her... any day now, probably!
