1st birthday Weekend

I love celebrating :)  We had such a great time visiting with both sides of the family (plus our "adoptive" family, my brother-in-law's parents and siblings).  Here are some pictures of Peter's birthday, Peter and Brooke's party and the day after.


On the 22nd we sang to Peter at lunchtime and had cupcakes.  I think he liked it!

What is this thing on my head?


I'm going to pull it off. 

Hm. I think I like this!


He dug right in, loved the icing :) 








On the 23rd we had a joint party with Brooke.  Here we are singing.  Peter is eying the cupcake....Brooke is playing it cool.


What are these people doing? Singing?


These people are doing it too!

Peter is excited. Brooke is still cool-girl. 


Massaging the icing. 

LOOK at those little fingers, careful not to touch the messy icing. 


Oh yeah. I got this. 

Mom, why did you give me this? 

I am going to mash this into every part of my hands.


Aunt Alison, I had a miniscule bite already and hate it. Please stop. 


Brooke, you don't like it? 


Brooke doesn't like hers. I love mine. 


Hands up in surrender. 


Present opening went like this:

What is this, I'm going to attack it. 

Please, can I hug it?


Sunday, we had everyone over for dinner & some water play.  Mawna got her picture taken with the babies :)


Also, a group picture was attempted.....this is where I just start laughing hysterically. 









How about a nice picture of Chloe and Connor? 

April can be seen wandering in the background :)
We had such a great time celebrating Peter's first year!! :)  Seems like an official start to summer :)

Home Decorating

Every so often, I get the urge to re-decorate our entire house. Since that's not really a possibility, I usually just end up changing some pictures or decorations. I was inspired by this post (the blog was found on the side-bar of my cousin's blog ), I thought I'd make a 3-D wall hanging of my own: I might keep it, I might give it as a gift....not sure yet - but I like it! Our downstairs bathroom was in need of a little "perk-up" so I made two coordinating frames to lighten things up: Now this isn't really home decorating....but I'm still including it :) Chloe recently acquired some fancy 4th of July hair clips from Aunt Michelle/Grandma B. She needed the perfect dress to match those clips, so I found some fabric and made one! Check back at the beginning of July for pictures of Chloe wearing this dress! :) My need for creating might have been calmed by these projects...or maybe it's only encouraging me to do more!

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...
