Edible Acorns

Acorn Donut Holes

So Easy & Fun to Make

Just dip donut holes in Nutella or Chocolate Icing then roll them in chocolate sprinkles and insert a pretzel stick (remove about 1/4 of the pretzel stick first). 

My Baby Girl Turns 3

Happy 3rd Birthday Sara

This year we skipped the big party and just went to Wild Rivers Water Park with family and had cake and presents at home afterwards. So much fun!!!

I had too much fun making Sara's Birthday Cake. It's just an angel food cake but I went a little crazy with the icing :)

Joseph (Joey) Owen Brock Has Arrived

Joseph Owen Brock arrived on August 17, 2011 at 2:12am

Weighing 9lbs 15ozs (4.5 kilos) and 20.5 inches long

I was very lucky to only have to push for 10 minutes and he was out.

Both Mommy and Baby are doing great and Big Sister and Daddy are so in love with him.

Nursery & Pregnancy Pictures

Our baby boy is due August 11th and may take his time.  His room is finally all done. I decided to decorate his room in a travel theme with boats and airplanes etc... The room was originally a dark grey and to lighten it up I thought it would be fun to add vertical stripes in a lighter color.  That prep process took me about 3 weeks with a laser light and painter's tape (I move slower these days) - so I may never paint stripes on a wall again.  I'm happy with the results.

 Sara is very excited to meet her baby brother.

The tedious taping off process and then painting...
