8-13-08

Corey planned a whole day to celebrate my 30th Birthday this year. We did it on a Wednesday (my actual Birthday was on the 15th) because he was off of work all day. He did such a great job. We shopped for Nevaeh's Birthday gift and then shopped for me. We went to see the new Batman movie and ate lots of buttery popcorn. And then he took me to the Cheesecake Factory where my whole small group was there waiting to surprise me (we were only missing one couple). Wow-talk about feeling special-I could hardly hold my emotion in! It was so wonderful. A big thank you to Corey for all his planning and sweetness and to our small group family for giving up there evening to celebrate with us. I had such a great day!

(I actually have more birthday stuff to post for Nevaeh and myself but it will have to wait till next time.)

Real Life "Little Mermaid"

We took an underwater camera to the pool again this summer to catch our little fish in her natural habitat. She never ceases to amaze me! I may have an Olympian swimmer on my hands! Bad thing is, she has no fear and it can be scary and dangerous the way she just jumps in without caution. It was a workout every time I took her swimming, but she loves it so much, it was worth it!

Jumping in from the side

The last four pictures are some that we took in July 2007, before her first birthday. She looks like such a rolly polly baby after seeing this years pics. Oh, my sweet baby! She's growing so fast!

My newest obsession-No plasitic please!

A few years ago we got rid of most everything plastic in our cabinets. Then I kind of forgot about the whole thing and have been using plastic sippy cups. So, for a few weeks I've been researching other options that are safer for kiddos and there are a lot of options out there! But this was my overall favorite!

I ordered mine at http://www.landofnod.com/ (Nevaeh only gets one for now-they are not cheap-but important enough to me to invest)

This is my second pick. I plan on getting Nevaeh a big girl one with the straw and getting our new baby a sippy one, eventually. This one is really good because temperature maintenance is as important as the safe stainless steal.

As with any product, it's best to search for websites that sell them cheaper than their home sites(they are available in a lot of places on the web). I just wanted you to see their official websites to get the best details! Amazon.com and Ebay are great places to find all of these too!

I also plan on getting a water bottle for Corey and I eventually. I've listed a few of my favorites below but I am still looking into which ones I think will work best for us.

Fourth of July

Two of my nieces got to come stay with us at the end of June and then I drove them to Arkansas for the Fourth of July to meet back up with their mom and dad. They came from Amarillo, Texas and we all celebrated with my aunts and their families in Rodgers. We went swimming, made cookies, went to Deanna Rose Farmstead and went swimming. Yep, that's what they wanted to do most of the time-they are little water bugs. And being that I was big prego, didn't have much energy to be a very fun aunt. I'm glad they were content with swimming.

They also spent time with Nevaeh and her Mimi (Melissa) while Corey and I had a midwife appointment. She took them to Chuck-e-Cheese, Farmhouse Candle Company (to let them choose a candle for their mom and dad), and made special Stampin Up projects with them to give to their parents.

I hope they had fun even though I was grumpy. They are so great and I love them soooo much!!!
