Ahh photos...
SO guess what I did yesterday? My friend and I went to the Minneapolis wedding fair... crazy you say - well it was so fun! We got there about 2 and stayed 3 hours - tasted cakes, admired centerpieces and watched a wedding fashion show... the irony here is that we are both already married! We just love weddings... I swear if I had more time and a chunk of start up money, I would open a wedding planning business. Coordinating and organizing are some of my favorite things to do and I am the ultimate girly girl so wedding stuff is my cup of tea! I even took some ideas of my own for parties. There was a catering table that had cored pineapples stacked on top of one another probably on some type of pole and then it had strawberries on sticks stuck into the side of the pineapple all around... it was such a cool centerpiece idea or just a great way to serve fruit at a party! And my step mom got me the coolest pineapple corer tool ever! You can get something like it at Bed, Bath and Beyond! It is a marvel really!
Ok so aside from my wedding planning concept, things are keeping us busy at home. We are remodeling once again... I know I do this a lot but it is so fun...perhaps home decorating is another job concept...Anyway we are getting granite countertops in the kitchen and repainting... I do love remodeling projects! And I just redid Emma's nursery in bright green and pink! I love it! I will even post a pic or two of my redecorating! I can't get enough of HGTV! And all the do-it yourself projects are so appealing although we hire a lot of it out because neither Adam or I are the handiest nor do we have the tools! But I must say that my husband really impressed me last night when he unhooked our sink, took it out of the counter and proceeded to take the counters off himself - what a handyman I have! I was totally impressed by my man!
Aside from repainting and remodeling, my dear friend Shanna is coming this Friday for a visit! I can't wait! Hopefully we can scrapbook while she is here and just have some good ol' girl time! It is going to be a great weekend despite the negative temperatures we are getting right now... we are going to have a blast!
On the final note, I lost the baby weight! Last week at weight watchers I lost 3.4 pounds in one week! I was beside myself! I am down 17.2 since September and overall 42.6 since I had Emma on July 10. Adam and I are going on a cruise (no kids) on March 2 and I hope to lose another 13 pounds by then... it is going to be a battle but I signed up for kickboxing through a community ed program with a friend and it is 4 nights a week! yikes! but i am excited - I am learning though that nothing tastes as good as skinny (healthy) feels!
Oh yeah one more thing - check out my diaper cake! It is my latest baby shower gift! I take diapers roll them up, hold with a rubber band and stack like a wedding cake! I add little goodies to the cake and some ribbon! It is a popular baby shower item I must say and they are really fun to make and practical because the diapers are for the baby to be! I have been using size 3 diapers because i don't have to use so many since they are bigger... alrighty I will stop writing and start showing the pics!

HEY! The room is so cute...love it! Where did you get those hanging frames? I love them and have been searching for wall decor for Maya's room. Anyways...I need to blog and update everyone on the happenings down here and pictures! :)
Hope all is good and wish I could trade you for some cooler weather...it is going to be 83 tomorrow. YUCK!
Where are you cruising?
WOW! The baby weight, the cruise, the room...it's all so wonderful!! I wrote down your phrase "Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels." I'll post that in the kitchen. You know me and sugar!
I looked into getting wedding planning certification for a while. Never did anything about it, though. I would be fun and there's a great market! I did Julie's wedding and I've got one more sister to go. It's a great creative outlet and, lucky for me, they actually enjoy me bossing them around for this one purpose! Fun, fun. I hope you do it someday.
love love love it!
I love the room!
The diaper cake!
and your sweet girls!
Man, can Anna look anymore like you! I agree Emma looks like a character in that picture.
Yeah for you with all the weight loss.
I just started weight watchers, I'm on week 2! I'm going to stick to it for the long hull and take off some serious weight FOREVER!!
