Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...

We basically stayed inside the entire weekend.

We got lots and lots of wet, slobbery baby kisses from ghost.

Radcliff helped Daddy prepare his lesson for church.

(Look how intrigued he is)

And I got my bake on.  Recipes to share later.  I'm still proud of myself ;) 

The reason for this hermit-domestic-like behavior?

Well the weather was like this...

It snowed and snowed and snowed.

(Can you tell the bad pictures that I took with my camera phone from the good pictures Wren took with the Canon?  Sorry for that :))

How was your weekend?

And speaking of weather... 

I can't get over how sweet this little video is:

This is what our life now consists of. Aren't we sooooo cool? I can hardly stand it!

A Family Affair

 My brother Ty arrived home from his mission last week so on Sunday we threw his homecoming party.  It was filled with way too many cream puffs, catching up with family, taking pictures, and a grunting baby who awed the cousins and had a major blowout (hence the outfit change).

I have to say... that last picture?  That's a good lookin family there ;)    

Love them.

Light at the End of the Tunnel...

...when things have been so scary:

Much, much more where this came from coming this week.  

On an even happier note; today is my official last day of work.  What?!  Yes.  I couldn't be happier.  Tomorrow is going to be like the BEST.DAY.EVER.  No work phone to worry about, no having to be tied down till six, FREEDOM.  And it couldn't have come at a more opportune time.  This pregnant lady has never been more exhausted.  Ever, in my whole life.  I might just sleep the entire day away tomorrow!

One Year Anniversary... Lots of Recaps!

So guess who's one year anniversary it was on Sunday?  My blog's.  It's pretty pleased about it too.  So pleased, in fact, it wants to do a recap of this year's most memorable, and more popular, moments.
1.  So to start this party off right, or wrong, member my very first post way back when?  Of course you don't, because no one read my blog yet.  But HERE it is, just waiting to be seen by someone.  It's funny, I'm warning. 2.  Or member the time I sewed my first skirt in THIS post and showed you how I did it?3.  Perhaps you recall when I re-did my dresser from THIS post.4.  Anyone remember when my husband almost chopped off his leg mountain biking?  I do.  It wasn't pretty.  See what I'm talkin' about HERE.  Only if you're not eating.   5.  Or what about the time I met so many of my good blogging buddies?  Bet you don't remember THAT time.  It was awesome, and amazing, and girlies... I love you all!6.  Okay and while we're on the subject of dresser do-overs, I did two this last year.  See the other one HERE.7.  A fun memory was when we celebrated the day my husband graduated college.  So proud of that guy.  THAT was a fun day!8.  Okay what about the pivotal moment that I swore I'd never do again in my life because growing them out is such a pain in my you know what, and one I'm in right now.  But I still did it anyways.  Cutting BANGS!?  No I didn't.  Yes I did.  Included in this post was also the announcement of my pillow shop on Etsy.  Click HERE to see the doubly monumental day.9.  Or what about the opening of H&M?  Member THAT post?  How could one forget, I found the perfect bra there!10.  Surely you remember the millionth time I re-did our bedroom don't you?  Check it out HERE. 11.  Okay what about the post where I just knew I'd get my brother-in-law married?  It didn't happen, but you can laugh it up when you look at THIS post.  It's a goody if I do say so myself.  12.  The most exciting post that this blog has held was when Wren announced that we were expecting out first baby!  What an awesome post to look back on and we really felt the love.  See it HERE.  13.  And last, the POST where we revealed the gender of this sweet babe child.
Wow, a lot really has happened in a year.  This little blog has been constant fun for me.  I have made so many close friends, real and cyberly (okay that's creepy, but it's true, and cyblery is not a word, but it is now, I made it up).  You fine friends have made these long hours working by myself bearable, and I have drawn so much inspiration in so many different way from all of you.  Thank you for the sweet comments and kind emails.  They mean more to me than you'll ever know!  And mostly, thanks for reading my posts.  You're all the best!  Oh and Wren, thanks for putting so much thought into what I should post everyday as well.  I'll get emails and texts randomly throughout the day giving me ideas of what he thinks people would like to see.  Wren's this blog's biggest fan and I love him so much for just supporting me and having faith in anything and everything I ever want to do.  Even this funny little blog.     Here's to our first year Blog!  Many more to come.

First Summer BBQ!

Could you not DIE over those fat legs?

 A couple days ago we celebrated the 80 degree weather by having a BBQ with some close friends. 

We ate up a storm, talked up a storm, and while the boys flew baby man helicopters, the girls pictured up a storm.

I think my top favorite thing about summer is barbecuing with family and friends while talking late into the night.

Let the BBQing season begin!

PS Anyone know why my intensedebate commenting system disappeared off of my post yesterday?  Help?  All my comments are gone.  And PS Wren LOVES when there is a large response to his posts, so THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE!  It made his little night!

Easter 2012

We had a wonderful Easter day yesterday.  The weather was glorious and so was the company!

In the morning we headed over to Wren's family's house for brunch and our yearly Easter egg hunt...

The babies were about as excited as they could be!

So were the adults...

 The brunch was filled with keish and fruit and cinnamon rolls and all things tasty!

After we went to both of my grandparents houses and hung out with my family.  I feel terrible, by the time my family time rolled around, I was all pictured out.  Pregnant ladies get exhausted!  :)

Anyway, it was the perfect day.  And our families are amazing.  We are so lucky.
