Money!

Tommy loves his money! We are working on numbers and counting and he loves to put his coins in his bank while he counts. He can say "1, 2, 3, 4" and "4,5,6" and "7,8,9". We are just working on putting it all together. With my help he can go all the way up to 10! He calls the faces on the pennies Jesus. Its so cute. Here he is with his homemade Cyrstal Light piggi bank. When he finds money he will walk around the house saying "Piggy bank! Where are you?"

The Booty and Jesus

MANsacra

Only Manly men can wear makeup and pull it off. Yesterday while I was getting ready for church Tommy came into the bathroom and asked "Doing?" At the moment I was putting on my mascara. I explained the process of makup and that Mommys put it on their eyes. He watched me for a minute or two and left. A few minutes later he comes running back all proud of himself saying "eyes, eyes!" He had found a blue marker and colored his eye just like Mommy. I couldnt get it all off so he got to show his independence off at church.

Family Reunion

We just got back from our family reunion late Sunday night. We had so much fun. We all went to my inlaws house in Missouri. We went to Nauvoo, Carthage, and to the Mark Twain lake. My favorites were touring the Carthage jail and the lake. Tommy loved seeing all his cousins for the first time. He loved all the little babies and especially all the boy cousins. They taught him so many cool things like the proper way to play with action figures.

Sparkpeople.com

I love Sparkpeople.com. It is the coolest website ever. It is an online weightloss program that helps you eat healthy. It gives you adjustable meal plans with real food with the correct portion sizes. It also gives you a grocery list and recipies. For me it is awsome because I dont like to figure out what Ill be eating for the week so I can go shopping. This makes it so easy. If anyone is curious or intrested you should check it out. Its really cool. In the first two weeks I started it I lost 7 pounds.

Hair Bows

http://beautifulbows.blogspot.com/

This is my friends hair bow blog. Check it out. She can custom make any color bow you want. They are really cute and a good price.

This is an example she did of a custom order for the local girl scouts.

Little pig, little pig, let me in.

For some reason Tommy loves sticks. Not surprising because he really is all boy. Everytime we go for a walk or even go to the car he finds sticks. He will do a quick search and fill his arms with sticks. I always joke that if the power goes out and we need firewood, Tommy is our man. He can find a stick anywhere, even when there is no tree around. Its like his sixth sense or something. I call him one of the three little piggies.

Daddy's Tie

As we were heading out the door to go to our friends birthday party we told Tommy to get ready and put his shoes on. Next thing we know he comes out of our bedroom trying to tie daddy's tie around his neck. He really wanted to wear it. This is the first time he has ever given any prefrence or care to what he wears. I thouhgt that it was cute that he wanted to be like daddy.

New Camera

We finally bought a new camera. Our first digital one in our marriage. Its about time too. Ill be posting more now that I have some pictures to go with it.

Guitar Cake

I did this cake for my friend Jens husbands birthday. It turned out really cool. It was a sour cream chocolate chip chocolate cake with hazelnut buttercream frosting. It was the best tasting cake that Ive done so far. Thanks Beth for the recipie.

Update

Sorry, I know its been forever since I blogged. But we did find out that we are having a GIRL! Im really excited about that.
