2 under construction

-
For this week our boys are 2 months and 2 years old! Same number! Thought that was kind of fun :)


Its fun starting back over with Asher and taking delight in all the little things and growth milestones. You so quickly forget cause they just keep growing! 

Speaking of! This stinker is 2 on the third and we had his party this morning. We had a truck or construction party. Ideas all courtesy of Pinterest!  


I had a lot of fun planning and getting it all together.  He loves planes, trains, trucks and cars. He doesn't have a favorite character or toy so i went very general. So while searching Pinterest i saw some really cute food tables with big dump trucks holding the food, that is what inspired the whole thing for me. But instead of putting the snacks in the truck i thought about putting the cake....


Big Lots proved true with having this huge dump truck! So dirt cake is the way i went. We love Oreos and pudding so why not! It was a new recipe and thanks to Valinda's help we got it all done and DELICIOUS :) 


We made edible play dough the kids added color too. It was a big hit! Valinda also helped with this cause she used to do it with her kids when she taught kindergarden. Thanks to Paige and Valinda cooking the kids got a blob hot off the stove to mold and add food coloring to create their own gift to take with them in their own....


Nail pouch from Home Depot, decorated with their initial :) Yes Pinterest guided this but i tweaked it cause my hand writing is abysmal! 

Asher slept amid the chaos upstairs in the swing. Don't even think he knew there were kids playing around him. It was a fun morning and we had a blast with our family and friends! Wish my sister and family were here, but FaceTime is our friend when you live cross state! :) Mom is spending the weekend so its nice to have her share this.

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

Valentines Day

I was curious as to where Valentines day came from and this is what i found. There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that i t originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ba

Photo shoot with Mabry Family

This past saturday was my first official photo shoot, meaning not really close friends, was really nervous to do it. Andrew came with me and was my voice of direction. I picked the same spot a friend of ours took our engagement pictures, main street Grapevine. We went a bit early to the spot and marked some places we thought would work, and talked out what positions might be good. With his strong voice he commanded them into spots! :) It was fun and the weather was perfect for it. Andrew had gotten me a new lens in time for the shoot so i was super pumped and so thankful it made it in time. There were a couple times that i forgot to change the setting and was like OH NO! Let's try that again!  I think they like it and are happy with it. A mutual friend has already asked me to take pics of her and her hubby. Now i am just waiting for my label to be created so i can look even more official! This is a fun hobby that i am excited to chase after! Click Here for more pics
