Our Little Man is 2!

Our Little Man is 2!

I can't believe our little Ike is 2! Time goes by so fast with your kids. I miss him being a tiny baby in my arms. It definitely is fun to have a toddler around. It amazes me everyday the things they learn. His vocab is growing like crazy, he's a growing boy himself, and he loves to learn more. For his birthday we had a Monster Party. He has an obsession with Monsters Inc. right now and loves to talk about monsters. We had all the cousins over for food and games. We started off with coloring, then pin the eye on the monster, watched little sponges grow into monsters in a glass, and enjoyed cake and presents. It was so much fun to have all the family there. We love our little boy and are so proud of him.


Already knew what to do, as soon as he saw those candles they were out.



Monster cake I made for my boy (he's telling me about the monster cake as I post now)



All the kids coloring.

Sophie stuck the eyeball right on Ike's forehead.

Ike's turn...the blindfold didn't last with him.

Presents with the help of Tank

At the end of the day he just wanted to watch Einsteins and hold his party balloons.

Summer Projects

This summer I decided to take on some home projects. I've never been a big project girl but decided it was time to test my skills. I learned how to use a sewing machine, which may sound weird to all your amazing women that a 25 year old women is just learning how to use one. It was a challenge but I really do enjoy it now. My first project thanks to my sister in law Erin, was this baby quilt. It turned out so darling and I was so excited to see it completed. I then tried my painting skills and made a magnet board. Later I was at Anthropologie and came across the cutest fabric letters. I decided I would take on the task and make my own. It was so easy and turned out so cute! The latest project was I to reupholster a chair. I know sounds a little out there but with the help of Page I was able to do it and it turned out pretty good. For now I am taking a break from my projects but I am excited about my finished products.
