Diaper Cupcakes

I stumbled across this idea online a while back. I've seen diaper cakes before but I've never heard of diaper cupcakes. I thought they were so stinkin cute and figured I could do that. I was able to make them for my friend at work who's also pregnant. I thought it turned out pretty darn good. I'm so mad that I forgot to take a picture after I decorated the box. I tied some ribbon around it and made a fancy gift tag with my fabulous cricut machine. I also made a label for the "special ingredients" and listed out how many diapers, onesies, washcloths and socks were used.

I feel so loved

I just had another shower yesterday :) It was a ton of fun. It was a mix of my family, David's family, and friends. David and I are so fortunate to be surrounded by such a great group of people. Benjamin is definitely going to be one stylish little man. My sister in laws put the shower together and I must say I was extremely impressed. They really did a great job!

Starting the food line-I was Starving!


So cute!


The beautiful quilt my Gma made :) It's sooo soft!

Surprise Diaper Shower

My Grandma and Mom took it upon themselves to be a little sneaky and surprise me with a diaper themed shower a few weeks ago. We ate some really good food, played some games and got a ton of diapers. I'm a little freaked out to find out that newborns typically go through about 8-10 diapers a day! So I guess it's nice to have a little stockpile of diapers ready to go for when Benjamin finally gets here :)
Here's a pic of one of the diaper cakes my lovely friends made for me

3rd Annual Carter Lake Trip

We just got back from our yearly trip to Lake of the Ozarks. It was SUPER hot pretty much the entire time and the water was a little on the warm side but it was still fun.
David and I started off by ourselves at the Lodge of the Four Seasons Wed-Fri. I had the most amazing massage at the spa (Thanks David!) and then we met everyone else at the house on the lake for the remainder of the trip.

Oh yes, check out the row boat action


I don't know why I look so happy here, my back was fried :(


Our last night :( It was so humid the lens kept fogging up. It took about 10 shots before we could finally get a descent one.
