Bouncin' Birthday Party

Things have been pretty crazy around here. Friday night Tom and I went out for his birthday. It isn't for another week, but I am getting huge and didn't want to risk putting it off any longer. I dropped off Braden (thanks to the Herberts!!!!) and met Tom at Chili's for some yummy chicken pasta and fajitas. Then we went to the movie Knowing with Nicolas Cage. It was crazy intense and so fun to see at the theater! Then on Saturday we went to Kylee and Skye's bouncin' birthday party- check out the cute invite I made:)

Braden played nonstop and had a BLAST!!!

Today I had yet another doctor apt and found out that I am only dilated to a 2....still got a ways to go. I am so ready!!!! The last couple weeks are the worst for me- I have no patience! I just want to hold my baby girl! Hopefully the next post will be pictures of her:)

Happy St. Patty's Day

Desktops

I have officially been digital scrapbooking for one whole year!! One of my favorite things about it are the desktops I make for my laptop. I just take some recent pictures and all the fun kits or quick pages that go along with that season or holiday from the month. It is fun to change it up! Here are all the ones from April 2008-March 2009 (except for June, I must have lost it).

Well there you have it. I think I have definitely improved over the year:)

What A DEAL!!

After finding all I could with Craigslist I decided to broaden my search to Ebay. I have always been scared of that place with all the bidding and trusting strangers with my money...But so far so good! I found some killer deals!! Here is Brooklyn's new crib set... It is called Sweet Shop by Baby Martex. I love the colors and it looks perfect with my dark crib and changing table. I got the quilt, bumper, sheet, skirt, valance, 3 wall hangings, and diaper stacker. At the store this retails for over $250 and I got it all for $47!!! I also got these cute wicker baskets- $4 each to put on her changing table.

I also found this ADORABLE diaper bag! The one I had for Braden broke a couple months ago, so I upgraded to a Ju-Ju-Be bag. They are SO amazing! They have many different styles to choose from, but this one is my favorite. It is called Be Spicy-It is the perfect size and has the most awesome details. There are 16 compartments/pockets including a mommy pocket in the front to put my stuff (wallet, keys, cellphone, sunglasses) and a huge inside to hold all the baby gear. Man I am going on like I am trying to sell it....sorry! I am just so excited about it! Oh, and the best part is I found it for $65, retail is $168! WOW!!!

Now go out and get online shopping:) You are sure to find a great deal!!!

Cute As A Button

Braden has finally started to understand the concept of picture taking. I just love his little smile, but every time I would get out the camera he would get all weird. Now when I tell him to say "Cheese" he gets so excited and strikes a pose!

Here is my latest craigslist find. Braden is in LOVE with elmo and this Tickle Me Elmo chair was sure to be a winner!

And later that day this is how I found Braden watching his cartoons. This kid cracks me up!
