Walk at Day Break Lake

 

My favorite place to lolly gag around. We finally got a stroller and now we can walk all the time.

 The ducks were swimming around so we had to have a picture.

 His first adventure in the wild world

Isn't this purple and gold a beautiful color combo.

funny story... I bought a bunch of flowers and bushes at the beginning of the year and when they started to bloom every one was purple. I guess we need to add more colors next year.

not such a good picture but I have to prove that I was there :O)

1 Week Old!!!

 So adorable! Only 1 week old in this picture.

I love how scrunched up brand new babies are.  

It's only been a little over a month and I forget how tiny he was.

Such beautiful dark eyes.

Lazy Summer Day's

 

What a handsome little Man! He loves spending time with his Daddy.

 

One Day I came outside to find this sweet sight! Doug loves reading to his little Taiters

Doug will probably teach Tait to be a great cook... 

he should probably give me some lessons too :O)

Tait, Taiters, Taiter Tot

This is our little guy ~Tait~ He is such an amazing baby!

He sleeps well, is so mild tempered, and has the most amazing smile that could melt anyone's heart. He already has many cute nicknames and we love them all.
Taiters has a handful of girlfriends" that come to see him when there hubbies are at work.
Such a special little guy... We wouldn't trade him for the world.

Baby Bump

Can you believe I haven't taken any baby bump pictures yet???
I'm due in less then a week and who knows when this little guy is gonna come,
it really could be any day!

Doug took me out and snapped a few shots.
For us not knowing anything about photography they turned out really cute.

I found some cool photoshop actions and added them myself.

This is my favorite.

Such a cute baby belly!


6 days and counting!!!

Baby Bookworm Shower

My Sweet mother and sisters-in-laws threw me a book worm baby shower. It was so much fun! Everyone was asked to bring there favorite childhood book. Now we have an awesome start on a baby library, that even Doug and I enjoy!

They made the cutest diaper cake with all the fun toppings:
books, bibs, a boo boo turtle, onsies and lots lots more.

This is Dayja, she is being adopted by my sister-in-law Lani, sweetest little girls ever.

For an activity we made a baby's first Alphabet Book! I can't wait to see the finished product.

Grandma Cathie with Lily.

Thanks for the awesome party.
So much work went into it,
and it was a hit!!!

Lamp shade how to...kinda

Warning: this uses tons of fabric!

I cut a painter drop cloth, bought from a local big box store for $9, into 3 inch strips and folded them in half.

This is an old lamp shade that i had just hanging around the house. The base was an old $3 copper base from DI, I just spray painted it Krylon primer gray. I absolutely love the color!

Next you blob on a ton of glue and start twisting the strips of fabric all over the lamp shade. I didn't do anything too consistent, just what looked good to me.

It took forever... just keep going.

This might be the worlds heaviest lamp shade so don't drop it on your toes when your finished.

Finished product.

It looks so fantastic when its lit up!!!
