Chase and Grandma make a Popcorn Cake

Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Em Came to visit today. Grandma and Chase made this wonderful creation, A popcorn cake. Chase was so into the decorating. It was hilarious. He bought gummy worms and worked them into the cake all the while talking about how he was going to scare Aunt Emilie and tell her they were real worms. As you can see, he did plenty of snacking on the marshmallow cream and popcorn. We are of course thinking we might have an interesting night with a sugar high little boy.

Jami's Baby Shower

Here's my pretty little sister at the baby shower we hosted for her this past Saturday. Does't she look great!! She is just over 7 months and we are all counting down the days until the arrival of the newest member of our family.
The shower was really nice. There were just over 40 ladies in attendance. We added up all the years of mothering experience in the room and came to a grand total of 650. Pretty amazing I thought. We had all the mothers put a little piece of advice in a book for Jami and played a couple other silly games.
Here are a few other pictures from the day.

I'm a blogger now

I have to say thanks to my friend Keely for helping me start my blog. I got this fancy computer for Christmas and decided it was time I got with the digital age and started blogging. So.....thanks Keely. You're the best!!

Here's our happy family at Thanksgiving (it is the most recent photo I have of all of us together). It is crazy to look at how much Brodie has changed since then. I need to put taking a more recent family pic on my todo list. Stay tuned........
