Home, Sweet, Texas?

For the next 11 days it will be!

I am beyond excited to be saying goodbye to CA and hello to Houston, Texas tomorrow! Gunnar and I will be visiting one of my best friends until March 3! This month has gone by incredibly fast which I am so thankful for. And now, I just need to get through my test tomorrow morning and then off to LAX we go!

Until then... I have a suitcase on my bed that is already filled and yet I still have more to put it in. Thank you for taking up a huge bulk of the room, cloth diapers.

You can expect some extra bloggy-ness while I'm on "vacay" since I'll be taking a break from my every day life and snapping pictures like no ones business!

Happy Birthday Gunnar!

A sneak peak at the oh so cute, I could just pinch his cheeks, 1 year photos. 
enjoy!











*blogger makes me mad because my pictures do NOT look this dark in my editing program, nor will they look like this when they get printed*

A Special Occasion

Today is a BIG day in our house! My baby is now a toddler! I hardly believe that 1 year ago today (at this time), I was being admitted to the hospital to have him, and now here he is walking around with an empty Pepsi can. =)

Since today is such a special day, I decided it would be ok to splurge and let the little man have chick-fil-a for lunch... with fries instead of fruit! I know, I'm crazy!






the end result: all gone of course!


on a healthier note, he did have good ole water to drink!

10 on Tuesday




1. Confession: I have been called out on my failure to blog. Thank you, Kassi. It's not that I don't love blogging, because I'd be lying if I said I didn't, I just kind of forget to do it thanks to all the other craziness that goes on in my life.


2. New goal for myself... blog twice a week. That's a step up from my serious lack of blogging so hopefully I can get into the habit of twice a week and then I'll move up from there. 


3. My baby is turning 1 on thursdy.... when the heck did that happen? I can't believe how fast this year has gone by and how many things have happened!


4. On that note, we're having his party on saturday. Guess who's done absolutely nothing to prepare for it? Oh yeah, me!


5. How can this not make you smile? 

6. We *ahem* Gunnar, now has 6 teeth! Granted, you can't see the other two quite yet, but they have poked through. The new teeth are the bottom left lateral incisor and the top left lateral incisor (for those who don't speak teeth, they're the teeth to the left of his two front ones)

7. I'm a huge procrastinator when it comes to these apples & oranges longies. I've had them on needles since Jan 30 and they are STILL waiting to be finished. I have half of one leg left yet I just can't seem to get myself to knit it. I feel bad for neglecting them =(

8. In other knitting related news, I am BEYOND ecstatic to get this in the mail: 

9. I never posted the wetbags I made for Diana, so here they are: one is a large and the other is a small/med (more so medium) 



























10. I also made her 2 pack n play sheets. I'm in love with the fabrics.
