Showering Stef and Jordan... with gnomes and mushrooms..

In preparation for their wedding in the woods! All went off without a hitch! Little trolls decked the house (I can't believe I didn't photo the silly solar powered lantern gnome at the entry!!!)

Topiary favor flowers by Julia.. gnome gum by Powells vintage candy wonderland..
A brave guest would let these two valet... ha! Actually Justin was "Heit Valet services" and these two stayed watch for the guests of honor.
Cousin Sam and her first diaper change client
Crafty is not a good enough word to describe these works of art made by Stef's friend Julie.. all hand knit and wearing clothes that both S and J actually OWN. crazy!

Brother in laws to be....
the meringue mushrooms were kind of a flop, but I guess do resemble actual fungi?
Labels by pica press to match the invites!

Sunset Surf Sesh...

Men of the house..

Chillin' after a good weekend. I crack UP at the crossed ankles when C lounges.

"I thought we had a deal about cartoon stuff..."

Justin was on a roll and bought this towel for C. I guess he loves Elmo, just doesn't love WEARING Elmo.. good. I hate cartoon clothing.

Genious..

Disclaimer.. I know, kind of grody that I'm taking a public bathroom picture.. however, I am so blown away by this invention...Any mom who has been to the bathroom at Baby's 'R' Us (I hadn't until last week) has seen these little seats.. which are IDEAL for Campbell and his 8-13 month camrades. Rides in cart, yet can't, what? sit on the FLOOR and wait for me to go to the bathroom.. these little seats are ideal.. buckle 'em in like flight attendants ready for take off... I'm sure the age span is short lived as soon, he can potentially stand and wait for me.. but this is great for the crawlers.. they even have them by the sink so we can wash our hands without soaking both of us.. you know that's how it goes.

Happy Cotton Anniversary

Two years... feels like we've been together forever, but then again, it all flew by.. just like it all does, right? After a long day of work for both of us, we put on our wedding dresses, (Jbird and I) spur of the moment....talk about a few laughs!! um, ya, the dress still has dirt and wine stains from the ACTUAL July 29th... and is a little hard to zip (the seamstress's voice in my ear saying "don't eat another bite, it won't zip!")...and is kind of a different "feeling" with a baby trying to pull the fake boob cutlets out of the top and the rhinestones off of the straps... We had cousin Kaia be the photographer.. and put on the wedding soundtrack..danced around and were silly...and of course told Campbell all about it and everything he (thankfully) missed out on! Justin made "surf and turf" we had some bubbly and a nice celebration with everyone. We were saying we wish we had a big house, could have all of our friends over and celebrate like this every year... maybe one of these July 29ths!

One more month....

..till C is ONE!!!I cannot believe it's 11 months. Campbell is such a little man.. crawling all over.. saying Jadyn.. (day-dun) and the occassional dada and moma.. we swear he will call me Bibif. Happy Birthday to our friend, Kyle Nichols.. exactly one month apart!
