One month ago today.....

This little foot came into the world.


and this little boy became a big brother!

Can you guess the face?

Best Day Ever (again)

The big brother went to his first Husker football game last night with his dad.

Remember when he proclaimed the day he became a big brother to be his "best day ever"? That has been replaced by a Husker football game with his dad. Wishing I could have been there. He opted to not put action figures in his pocket because he wanted to "enjoy the experience" (his words, not ours). Dad said he must have had a good time because he didn't stop talking the entire time (which was just over 4 hours)!

This is the best picture I have.
Sorry for the quality,
they were sitting on the East side of the stadium.

Almost forgot one of the funniest parts! They got home at 10pm. Big brother told me he didn't have dinner yet. Apparently the hot dog, piece of pizza, bag of M&Ms (he calls them en & enms), and soda were just a light snack!

Halloween ideas

Anyone want to guess who the new little guy is going to dress up as for Halloween?

Fall Craft Time!

I wanted to make some pumpkins to jazz up the buffet this year. Saw some online that I fell in love with so I decided to make some. So far, I've only got 2, but, need to whip up a few more. Took less than 15 minutes per pumpkin. I love easy projects that are so cheap to make! Everything was from my stash.

(sorry for the quality, took it with my phone and poor lighting)

This counts as a smile right?

Wax On, Wax Off

I had commented to my friend how difficult it was to shave while pregnant. She said I should try waxing my legs. I tried in college and totally botched it. It's a great story to tell and always had me in tears of laughter at the end. Long story short, hubs had to help pull the strips off and it wasn't pretty.

I know that most of the problem resided in my attempting to do this on my own. Since then, I have taken an oath to NOT touch anything up on myself that would haunt me for days without the ability to hide it in public (this includes all waxing, hair cuts, and self tanners). I am proud to say that I have kept with that promise to myself to this day.

Which is why I jumped at the chance when my friend Jenn said she'd give it a go. (NOTE: Jenn is a stylist and knows what she's doing, I wouldn't accept an offer from someone like me.) Turns out, it wasn't that bad. Now I don't have to worry about shaving my legs! (at least for a while)

This is about the time I was having second thoughts.

This is my friend Jenn.
She's having waaaaaaay to much fun with this.
I'm thinking my laughing instead of shouting was part of the humor.

Bath time!

I'd like to say the little guy was happy during and after bath, but, I'd be a liar. At least he has a clean belly button now! Whoot!!!

Guess what happened on the 30th?

We have a new little guy! He was born at 1:59pm. Just one pic for now & lots of updates later. Right now, lots to do at home and very little energy to work on.

For now, just stare at the cuteness that is our new baby.
