A New Year, A New Baby! 2012-01-03

We are so excited for the blessings God will bring us this year! Evie turned 18 months on New Years day and we are expecting our second child on June 26th! Evie has brought us more joy and happiness than we could have ever imagined. She is such a good baby with tons of personality - never a dull moment.

I am 15 weeks today and feeling the baby a lot right now. I actually felt the baby for the first time a couple weeks ago, very early. It seemed to take forever to feel Evie move. This pregnancy, all around, has been much different than my first from morning sickness, fatigue, and weight gain. I'm over it finally, but the sickness was much worse and lasted longer than the two weeks with Evie. I've been so tired this time and take naps for the first time since I was little. Luckily, weight gain has been very minimal. I welcome that! These differences convince us we are having a boy! I would be perfectly happy either way, but I had strong intuition that Evie was a girl so I plan on sticking with my gut this time.

Happy 18 Months to our little "Peach"!

Evie is around 20 lbs and in 12 mo clothes. She's pretty petite! However, she eats nonstop and outdoes me sometimes. Evie is very independent and plays so nice by herself and with other babies. She finally started walking at the beginning of December! She sleeps great and takes at least one nap everyday. Her little tricks and quirks keep us laughing and entertained. Evie folds her arms, plays harmonica with Daddy (she blows and shakes her head at the same time, adorable!), she flirts with everyone, loves her babies and patting their bottoms, gives lots of kisses and hugs, blows her food when it's hot, folds her hands to pray, blows kisses to everyone she loves, including Jesus. We pray with her every night and just today, she folded her hands to pray as I laid her down for her nap. So precious! She melts me. (more...)

A Yellow Giraffe in a Pink Ruffle Tutu 2011-07-09

We had lots of birthday fun here last weekend! Evie was all decked out in her pink ruffle tutu. I planned on making her a fabric crown inspired by this...maybe next year!
I did have lots of fun planning and had some help and great inspiration from Leah of My Bride's Aide. She recently opened her event planning business so I thought I would take advantage of her expertise. She gave me the idea for these fabulous paper flowers.

I am not a cake baker but I had lots of luck with this one! The last stacked cake I made was for my husband's birthday and ended up sinking in the middle and falling apart. This cake was Evie's cake :) It is 2 6" cakes. The icing is homemade buttercream frosting. The ruffles were actually very easy! I watched this video first.

For the guest cake, I made a cream cheese frosting (delicious!) on 2 9" cakes. I used the remaining frosting for the cupcakes.

I found this amazing shabby chic tier stand for about $40 on Amazon. LOVE it! I can use it for other parties and so much more.

The white picture frame was a $2 garage sale find, painted and distressed by me.

The ruffle was super fun to make! I found pink cotton fabric at JoAnn's. I first sewed pieces together and then gathered manually by sewing machine. I tried another zigzag gathering tutorial first, but somehow the entire ruffle came out:(

Evie's party invitations were my first project for the party. I think I started them when she was only 3 months old! The rest of the planning was inspired by this.

I had plans for pompops and a more elaborate banner, but ran out of time.

LOVE these striped straws! I found them at various Etsy shops and others, but they are cheaper on Amazon.

Evie received LOTS of fun new toys!

This chalkboard from Spell it with Style is awesome! We are using it in our kitchen now.

Kristi was an amazing help once the party started. I would turn around to go do something and she already had it done! She didn't even make me pay her that day:)
