Flour Flour Flour... and Wedding Dresses

After my last UBER long post, I figured I didn't have to post again for a while. But I'm getting quite sick of seeing a large picture of ME when I open my blog. So, here's something new for you (and me) to see. :)

Sam and I made cinnamon rolls this morning. Sam likes to help me cook, bake, etc, and I like to give him the opportunity to pour in ingredients, sprinkle cinnamon, etc. Usually this takes MUCH longer and creates a huge mess, but is worth it. This morning's activities were quite messy. I still need to mop up there to get all the flour residue off my floor...

Driving cars in flour. Hours of entertainment.This is what I get when I say "SMILE!".On another note, Melissa let Kristin, Lisa, and me come with her wedding dress shopping today. So as not to reveal any possible future dresses, here are a few pics we took of the three of us without Bel. :)

And this one is probably my new favorite of Leese. (Don't kill me Leese)

And I know this one is her new favorite of me...

I'm not sure, but I think we had more fun than Meliss.

And of course, save the best for last. Look who finally decided to learn to crawl???

Change is in the hAir and More

This past month so much has happened that I haven't blogged about. And now I'm so far behind that it's daunting to do anything real justice. So here's a LONG photo recap for you.

This haircut happened (me, not Z)
Then this baby shower
For this fun neighbor
Where I first made these
Then these cute boys and I went to CA to see this brother (and the rest of my family)
Where we went to Chuck E Cheese
And the beach
(it was so windy that day!)
Where Lindsey
and Sam insisted on being buried,
And Sam
and Zack discovered "Jake's Dining Room".
This haircut happened. :)
Then we came back to this holiday
And an Easter Egg Hunt
And some Grandma Easter surprises
And another Easter Egg Hunt
With this cute cousin
And threw baby shower #2
Where I made this
and this
and all of this
and these again

We went to the zoo with these adorable nieces and nephews
And later spotted these buns
And these
Then this person graduated.
And these people.
Who also got engaged. (CONGRATS BEL AND MIKE!)
Then this fabulous cousin's baby shower happened
Where I made these again (they are delicious!)
And got to see these cousins
And took this classic picture
And my sister announced her engagement
And this boy finally got to have his first birthday cake
Shared with all these people
And play cars and trucks with brother and Grandpa

Who just left to go back to California. We miss you!

Now it's on to wedding planning, summer vacations (Boston here we come!), and warmer weather! Hooray!

Birthday Boys

We have TWO birthday boys in our house. Matt's was on Saturday and Zack's is today. I can't believe that Zack is one already. Anyway, we tried and tried to get good birthday photos and this is the best one from the bunch. Something about squirmy boys that makes a fabulous photo always just out of reach.

Happy Birthday Matt and Zman!
