dixon wedding
as previously discussed, isaac was a ring bearer in a recent wedding of two friends. these two friends, to be exact: on top of providing the ring bearing cuteness, i also brought half of the wedding cupcakery. my friend regi (she’s awesome) provided a cake and the other half of the cupcakes. unfortunately, i didn’t […]
ridiculous belated 1 year checkup post.
i forgot to post this. because it’s for my second kid, i suppose. slacker mom. anna had her 1 year checkup a few weeks ago. slightly after her one year birthday (see: slacker mom). she had all the usual examinations, plus a whole whole whole lot of shots and pricks. isaac came along for the […]
the ring bearer
isaac was a ring bearer last night in the wedding of my friends and fellow youth group leaders, adam and leah. leah also did a bit of babysitting for isaac in my tutoring days, so she’s one of his favorite people on the planet. anyhow, i captured approximately one good shot of the cute boy […]
12 little boom boxes.
the other day, i went on a thrifting spree with my friend jessica. first, we went to megathrift, because all clothes were half off. she with a 1.5ish year old girl and a brand brand new baby boy and i with my extra tall 4 year old boy and my monster baby girl… we have […]
fondant sunbathers, basking in success
a few months ago, i ran into isaac’s teacher at joann fabrics (awkward story: i had picked him up early from school, picked up the babysitter, and dropped them at home so she could babysit while i selected fabrics. like any good mom would do.) anyhooooo… we chatted about cakes and fondant and buttercream and […]
charlotte’s owls
made these for charlotte’s first birthday. her mom and i were pregnant together and in the same life group, so charlotte and anna go way way back… charlotte had a special polkadot owl: up close. isaac had to give his stamp of approval. happy little cupcakes awaiting being eaten.
mini water park.
while in ny recently (which i haven’t posted about or even mentioned), new gramma bought theannababy a first birthday present. the problem is… anna has all of ike’s old toys, plus some of her own, plus limited access to all of isaac’s current toys (which is what she enjoys the most)… so what do you […]
apron mania
while i finished up isaac’s quilt, my friend bridgette waited patiently to begin our next craft project… making aprons for addison and anna. while i was at it, i decided to make one for my sister’s baby’s 2nd birthday… we invented our own patterns and pretty much were winging it the entire way. here are […]
woody and buzz cake
when parker was born, his mom immediately locked me in for his first birthday cake. unfortunately (not really), shortly after his birth, i discovered i was pregnant with the annababy. and she was born a few days before he turned one. so i had to pass on his first birthday cake. but, i made a […]
