things have taken a turn

As you can clearly see.. haha, my crack has made a u-turn and is now heading back down the wind shield.

it's time!!!

Tomorrow night at 8pm (central....9 at your house Karen) the new season of The Deadliest Catch starts. I am so excited about it!!

guess who is one

The sweet little cookie monster next door has turned one. We went to his party today. He didn't get as wild with his cake as some of the others one year olds I have seen. He was actually very neat with his cake. He got lots of wonderdul gifts that I just know he is going to love. It was a good time with our good friends. The cupcakes were so cute. Caleb's mom is so creative!

my advice

My advice to anyone who shops at Costco is to get a "Costco Buddy". I have been going with another girl for 2 months now, once a month and we split everything. We each only spend around $50 and no one goes home with 8000 rolls of paper towels. It is really working out well for us. Plus- the shopping is fun too!

It's Friday... must be tornado time

Here I am again on a Friday with possible Tornados. My Friend Kelly is here doing her laundry and we are watching the news and keeping a watch on the weather.

Thursday 13: thirteen things I loved about meeting Ceci

Today, I went to the hospital to meet the 34 hour old Ceci. I was very excited about it all day- and could hardly wait to go. Mom and baby are doing great. There was a lot of love in that hospital room. Here is a list of 13 things I loved about meeting Ceci.

1) She is tiny- about the size of a bag of sugar.
2) She is as sweet as a bag of sugar too!
3) You could fit about 4 of her in her newborn outfit.
4) Her face is so pretty and her skin is smooth with the prettiest coloring.
5) She was perfectly quiet. (unlike the baby in the room next to Natalie- who Natalie reported screamed all night long and all day today)
6) She smells so sweet.
7) Her toes were so cute! They should totally make tiny newborn flipflops!
8) She has long fingers and as her Grandmother put it she has "such elegant hands."
9) Her hair is wavy.
10) She looks good in a hat.
11) I got to change her diaper and the diaper swallowed her up too. She is as small as dolls I had as a child.
12) She makes cute little faces.
13) I love how happy she makes her Mom (I didn't see her Daddy- but I am sure she makes him happy too!)

Ceci is here!!!

Here she is! Cute as a button! I can hardly wait to meet her in person!

Congratulations Natalie and Jesse!
