He Loves Them


So Jayden's new obsession is his black Sunday shoes. He Loooooves them(he's crying because he wants the camera). He wants them on in the morning when he wakes up, until the second he goes to bed. I'm not gonna fight him on it because it's really not causing any harm, but you should see the looks we get when we go out.

After my class tonight I picked him up at the church where Matt was playing basketball and sure enough, his shoes were still on. He was so excited to get his picture taken when we came home. It's just too cute. I love my baby.

Lesson 3




So tonight was my last class for Course 1. I really enjoyed the class. It was fun to have something to look forward to and for it to be my thing that I did. I'm super excited for other courses that I am going to get to take too. This is just the beginning of my cake and candy decorating. I would so highly recommend anyone taking these classes.

Lesson 2



This week was the clown cake. Nothing too exciting, just scary old clowns.

Welcome Welcome Container Store

Is there anybody out there who is as excited as I am about the The Container Store coming to Scottsdale. Every time I watch a home improvement show or something about organizing, they always get their stuff from The Container Store. I am really trying to focus on being more organized and orderly. I've gotten about a hundred times better but I still have a long way to go. I love looking at their website and getting good ideas and just wishing and hoping until I have my own house someday where I can really go crazy. But for now I'm just in the "someday" mode so I'm going to make a trip out to good old Scottsdale one of these days and finally check it out. Anyone care to join me?

Lesson 1


So I am now doing something that I have wanted to do since we've been married. I signed up for a Cake Decorating class from Joanns. I really enjoy baking and I just wanted to get better at decorating. So this is my first cake from the class. I'm putting it on my blog for my mom to see and to track my progress. I love the class. I'm so glad I'm taking it because of all the things I am learning. The cake isn't my style(I guess if I could even say that I have a cake decorating style), but it's one we have to learn. Stay tuned for more progress.

I've Been Waiting



So when Jayden was born I couldn't wait for him to tell me he loved me. I would sit and cry and just imagine how wonderful it would be. Well he hasn't said he loves me yet, but I'm pretty sure he does. He will just walk up to me and give me the biggest hug and give the wettest kisses. I love it. It makes all his fits and tantrums worth it. I love our cuddle time every morning and after his naps. The other day we were in Walmart and I was checking out when the lady behind me made a comment on how Jayden looked like he was quite the character. I wonder what gave her that idea. Could it have been the Oreo smudged all over his face or the confused look he gave her? I just laughed and said you have no idea. We did a yard sale at Matt's parents house over the Labor Day weekend and we had all the stickers leftover from it. Jayden can sit for literally hours and play with the stickers. He already has a bigger attention span than I do and is such a cheese ball. I love my little boy. I am so grateful to be his Mom and I can't wait for all of our adventures to come.
