Happy Birthday, Happy Boy.

Tuesday was Andrew's first birthday. We had a fun day! We went to the park and had a little birthday party with my parents. Here are a few picks from his big day.


Can you see those little teeth coming in??


Andrew loves to swing!!


It was a treat to have dad with us!!


It's crazy to think that a year ago he was just being born! And here I am - with him on a swing set. Time flies.


That evening Andrew had fun opening up some gifts.


He had a BLAST eating his cake....


Overall - we had a great day!

Drab to Fab!

Ok, how many thousand of people have this office chair? You know, the $8 one from Walmart....

BUT how many people have an office chair that looks like this? Um, one... that'll be me.

This took me literally about 15 minutes. I think that you all should take over your Walmart chairs and dress them up!

Birthday Festivities

Although Andrew's birthday is just around the corner - we went ahead and had our big family celebration while we had more of our family in town. It was a treat to have the Georgia crew plus Laura, Chris, Uncle Larry and Aunt Jane! I had a great time making Andrew's cake and had a great time watching him eat it! Here are some pictures...


His cake!! I'm so proud!

The whole family (including Andrew's best pal - Banana's the bear.... the inspiration for the cake!)

At first, he wasn't too sure about it!

Then he warmed up...

He loved it! He later had some ice cream - and loved it even more!!

And true to form, he loved the packaging just as much as the presents!

I've graduated!

From this....




To this!



YEAH! No more diaper bag!!

My diaper bag has been getting too big and bulky - I hardly ever used the items inside - so I thought that I would treat my self to a purse... large albeit, but a purse.

Yeah for purses!

Bliss.
