Birthday BOY!




Today we have an old man in our house. :) Brock has turned 30!!!!! The Bug and I went and visited him at work and brought him lots of black balloons. :) He was surprised and like our little visit. His work also bought him a mint chocolate chip ice cream cake (which is his favorite). He is now golfing with his dad and will end the day with a yummy birthday dinner made by the one and only... ME! :D pictures posted in a while.Yes nothing very fancy. I kinda was using what I had in the house already so that I didn't have to pack up the baby to go grocery shopping. Unfortunately I had to do that anyway because I did't realize that I didn't have enough powdered sugar to make the frosting. The best part is after I got all packed up and to the store, and ready to pay at the check-out I realized I left my wallet at home. So not only did I not want to go to the grocery store I ended up making two trips :(. Anyway....
Happy Birthday to the love of my life and the best Daddy to my beautiful little girl. You are a wonderful man and father. I am very thankful that Heavenly Father gave me you ;). I love you!

Pictures!


So about a month ago I went and got Addy's pictures taken at a photography place called Fotofly. It was amazing! They do all the modern type of photography, and for only $79 you get the whole CD of edited pictures that were taken. Wow I kinda sound like an advertisement! :) Anyway, I really wanted the pictures taken so that I could get some pictures of Addy in her blessing dress. Unfortunately she was teething that day and had a very short fuse so when we got to the blessing dress outfit shots she was not having any of it and they didn't turn out like I planned. She still looks very cute though.

For her shoot I knew that I wanted to make her a new bow to go with her blessing dress because the one that I made before I didn't like at all. This is what I came up with:
I love how it turned out even thought when it's on her it takes up half of her head! Hey the bigger the better right? :) I'm debating on whether I should try and take her back and get her blessing dress pictures done again. The staff there was wonderful with her and knew what to do with her to get the best shots so I know that if I was to take her back and have them take pictures of her first in her dress and then do what ever after that she would do much better.
Anyway here are some of the ones we got:
