Hobbies...

So some people have hobbies like scrapbooking, or taking pictures, but mine is cake decorating. I love doing it! This past weekend my nephew Everett and niece Jordyn had a pirate birthday party and Amber asked me to do the cake. I've made a few cakes before but this one has been my favorite. When we were looking at cake pans I kinda got nervous about this one but with the help of my mom it turned out pretty cute! So if anyone has a birthday party comin up I'd love to make a cake!!! I would like some more practice. It has always been a fun memory I have of my mom making all of us kids cakes. I hope my kids will enjoy them as much as I did.

It's all way too fast!!

So last weekend my mom, my sister-in-law Tanya, me and Mavrik all decided to go visit my grandma in Utah. We had a great time but Mavrik was a little fussy! He had a real stuffy nose so I just assumed he had a cold. Well then on wednesday I went over to Chrissy's house and she was holding Mavrik and saw that he has some teeth coming in!! WHAT?!?!? My baby is only 2 1/2 months old and he is already getting teeth. It's crazy! He still is being a really good baby but I can tell he is in pain. I HATE IT!!! I wish there was something I could do for the little guy besides drug him up! The worst part is this is only the beginning. He has still been sleeping through the night so I just hope that continues! He slept in his own room like a big boy for the first time yesterday! Me and Jordan just layed in bed watching him on the monitor for a little while until he fell asleep! I just love that little guy!!

3 years!!

January 14th, 2006 is a day I will never forget!! Jordan and I just celebrated our 3rd year anniversary! We decided to do something random instead of the steakhouse and movie date we always do. So we dropped Mavrik off at my mom's house (thanks Mom!) and started our night together. We went and got a pizza, took it to the park, and had a little picnic at the park in freezing weather. Then we played some tennis (which I'm really awful at) and then we layed on a blanket, and just spent some Jordan and Amber time. We haven't been able to do much of that lately so it was really nice! When we left the park something really embarassing happened which I'm not going to talk about. I just want to remember it later so I gotta post something about it. It's so crazy how fast life happens!!! I remember last year when we went out for our anniversary we went to a nice steakhouse and they brought us a dessert at the end with a candle in it. We looked at each other and made a wish that by our next anniversary we would have a little baby to celebrate it with! AND WE DID! I am so grateful for that! I love you Jordan and can't wait to see what the next year brings to us! Maybe another little one! JUST KIDDING!!!

2 months!!

So I am a little behind but Mavrik turned 2 months on January 9th. He is getting so big it's crazy!! At his 2 month appointment he wighed 12 lbs. 9 oz. Exactly 3 pounds more than the month before. And he was 24 inches long. I can say this has been the best 2 months of my life!!! I love my little man more than anything!!
