New toy and Crafts!

First I want to say a big THANK YOU to my wonderful mother and father-in-law who got us an amazing gift last week...one that counts for all our birthdays for the rest of the year!
I have been dying for a digital slr camera for a long time now and I LOVE IT!! The pictures don't even compare to a point and shoot camera! The only downside is that I think Jason and Logan might get sick of having a camera in their faces all the time!


So here's a couple of pictures I've taken-and these are in our poorly-lit apartment:





Well, any picture of her is perfect!

I've got a couple of occasions coming up soon that have required me to break out the crafting box. And oh man, have I been crafting! The clerks at Hobby Lobby know me by name now. Logan's birthday is in a week and a half (WHAT?!?!) so I've been working on banners, favors, and decorating cupcakes. I'm gonna try to bake and decorate the cupcakes myself and it's been a lot of fun practicing.





Check out the craft, I mean dining room, table:



This is the hairbow holder (in progress) that I made for my cousin who is having a baby girl in October:



The name plaque for my nephew Kade who will also be making his debut in October. I'm throwing a double baby shower for them in 3 weeks!



Logan's party favors:



There's more to do...better get crafting!

Splash Fountains

Logan and I had an impromptu play date at the splash fountains yesterday. We were shopping at Gymboree at La Centerra and she spotted all the kids at the fountains. Well, just try to stop her! She was in the water so fast and soaking wet before I could blink! She was the smallest kid out there! She laughed and squealed and ran her little heart out! It's so fun seeing your baby so happy!
