Happy 23rd Birthday Kirstie!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

I just want to say HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to my WONDERFUL mother! I love you and am so thankful for all you have done for me in my life and still do for me today! You're the greatest!

HARLEY

Mike & Mindy came over yesterday and hung out. We had chicken tacos, played on the computer (since Mindy has no interent), took some pics and Mindy did the letters for HARLEY's room. Scott & I painted the edges and she did the rest. She did such a great job! :) THANKS MINDY!!! (It will hang above her crib. In the white stripe)

Some baby stuff...

So, Tucker (the little boy I work with) has a P.T. at school. She gave me TONS and TONS of clothes. This is just a few of them. Also, my sis-in-law gave me some too! Thanks ladies!

Aren't these shoes SO cute!?

Our bassinet (from my grandma)...and some clothes we got.
The brown polka dot set of onsies we actually bought the day we found out we were pregnant. :) (we bought boy ones too, and gave them to a friend who's having a boy) The pink & green dresses to the right are from Scott's mom. So cute!

THE ROOM...IS DONE

So... our idea was to turn this room

and use this idea (i did it on photoshop)...

and it turned out like this....

All I have to say is THANK YOU SCOTT! He did a FANTASTIC job. I did NOTHING.
He finished it SO fast!

*He stayed up till midnight on Monday night taping then painting the green.
*Thursday night he taped & painted the gray
*Saturday he taped & painted the black
*he used caulking to seal the lines so they didn't bleed (thanks Amy for that tip)
LOVE YOU SCOTT! You're awesome!

(when we put her name and other accessories up I will post more pics)

Gluten Free "Better Than 'Anything' Cake"

1 gluten free chocolate cake mix (I used Pamela's this time)
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 container of caramel sauce (you don't have to use the whole thing, I didn't)
cool whip
1 heath candy bar

Bake cake according to directions. After it cools poke several holes in it. Pour the can of s&c milk over it, spread and make sure it gets into all of the holes. Next, pour the caramel over and do the same thing (spread & make sure it gets in all holes.) After that spread cool whip over the top & crush heath bar on top. Refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
I like to add more cool whip to my piece when I cut it :)

Scott's Birthday Festivities

Well, Scott's birthday celebrations actually started on Easter. We go to my parents house for Sunday dinner once a month. So, April birthdays were celebrated on Easter. Scott & Mike each got to blow out a candle.

Next, we went to Scott's parents on the 23rd to celebrate Scott & his older sister Beth's birthday. There was cake, ice cream and lots of toys & fun. His whole family was there except is bro in Boston. (missed you Kyle) It was lots of fun.

THEN, Tuesday the 28th we had a late Dr.'s appt so we hit up Red Robin before going to the appt.

FINALLY, Scott opened his presents on the morning of his birthday the 29th. He got a couple shirts, 2 pairs of shorts, some candy & a new DTVPAL DVR. (we are going to get rid of our Dish Network that we pay $30 or $40 a month and just use the new DVR. We'll only get regulary channels...so that will be something to get used to) Scott got home from work around 5:30 and I had dinner made...sweet & sour chicken. Then, around 7 Dan, Kirstie & Easton came over for some cake & ice cream. (Scott didn't know they were coming over OR that I had a cake for him) I got him a carrot cake because that's his fav. I also made a "Better than 'anything' cake" so that I could have some cake too. I put candles in the carrot cake then came to find out that we have NO lighter OR matches! So, they just ate the cake :) Hope you had a great birthday!
