Firefighting + Cake= Magic

My oldest BF had her baby shower today. She's having a little boy and since her husband just got hired with Flagstaff Fire, they are decorating all things firefighter. She asked me to make a cake for the festivities, and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Making cakes is just so much fun!

Ugly Dress Party

Last night I went to an Ugly Dress Party. It was pretty sweet! We played some games and hung out and then most everyone stayed to watch 27Dresses. Here I am going for the 'Mother of the Bride' look. I think I pulled it off very well. A small bun, black nylons with open toed thinged shoes, and my perfectly placed clutch. I was really proud of my outfit.

Dusty had a hard time taking me seriously when I tried to give him a kiss before I left, so I guess I looked as bad as I had hoped.

Check out the other ladies dresses HERE.

Cousins are Grand!

I'm glad Carma has such wonderful cousins who all love each other and, for the most part, really get along well. They are all so great and I hope they know how much I love each of them.

Here all of them are on Christmas Eve... excpet Daisy was at her other grandma's house and Conway was still living his life under water.

Cousins are good to help watch you take a bath after demolishing your birthday cake.

And they're great for holding you and rocking you... even when you might not want to be held.

And they're GREAT for cuddling in Costco while you're both enjoying a set of keys.

Baby Conway is Here!!!!!!!

Last night my little sister had her darling baby boy, Conway.

Devan was such a champ and pushed the little guy out like she's been doing it all her life.

Conway is super cute and perfect and I'm so happy he's in our family.

Three Cheers For Conway!

Our First Family Hike

I used to tell Dusty that I hated hiking and I didn't want to go. I was an idiot! Last friday Dusty took the day off for some family fun and we went on a beautiful hike. It was the most wonderful day! We had so much fun and Carma sat so happily in her new hiking backpack.

It was a perfect family fun day!

After the hike we went to Paradise Bakery for lunch and in true chubby baby fashion,

Carma loved her cookie! I love that Chubby Baby!
