Reinventing Diaper Cakes




So I found a site the other day that has taken diaper cakes to the next level. These are the two that I've tried to make so far. All I can say is that I think I want to do this as a home-based business so if you know of anyone in need of a unique gift for a baby shower, let me know.

Happy Anniversary to us!!


I am proud to say that Monte and I have been married for seven years! Yes that's right seven years. I can honestly say that it does not seem like it has been that long. Although when you look back on the years and count the time that Monte has been in school, we have been married as long as he has been in school from start to finish. Although when he graduates next August it will be eight years. We are both excited for the things this next year will bring for us in our marriage. Another little girl in December, her baby blessing in January, Paige's 3rd birthday, seeing his mom in March and of course the big day of his graduation in August. I'm sure there will be tough times ahead, but if we can survive PA school and being apart for the majority of it, I know that we will make it to anniversary #8. Monte has been a wonderful husband and father over the past seven years. He is more the man I married today and I am grateful for the faith that he has in himself and in our growing family. Paige, Baby #2 and I are truely blessed to have him in our lives. Happy Anniversary Hunny!! I LOVE YOU BUNCHES!!

Family Update September 2010

Well, we have been busy but not all at the same time. Monte has finished his second rotation in Portland and he will have a week of call backs this coming week. Then it is off to Nyssa, OR for his third rotation in Community Medicine. We are both excited that this is happening, but at the same time, we are unsure of how often we will get to see each other. The first two rotations has spoiled us to no end. Monte only worked 3 or 4 days and then he would be home on the weekends. But, we will see what this one holds.

I have been trying to stay busy, but some days seem to drag on and on. I watch my 4 year old nephew during the week, along with Paige. But the nights always seem the longest. I LOVE when the weekends come because we get to see Monte. Paige is always excited when he gets home. She will mention "daddy home" in the prayers the night before he comes. Just to make sure that Heavenly Father knows that he will be on his way and to help him arrive safely. I also get to do a lot of trips to the Drs. office. Paige and Thaiden both had ear and eye infections on top of a really nasty colds. They had to be put on antibiotics for 10 days and then we had to go back to the drs. in two weeks for check ups and flu shots. I myself have Drs. appts to go to. All of which are going well so far. I am currently 26 weeks and definately feeling pregnant this time around. But I still love the part of being able to feel the baby kick and move all of the time. She is very active little one.

This month Monte and I will be celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary. We can't believe it has been this long, but we are grateful for all of the fun times we've had together thus far. We are just one year away from Monte being done with school and hopefully we will be able to travel somewhere for longer than the weekend to celebrate. We are hoping to go to Hawaii, but we will see where we are at financially for that trip.

As for that, this is all that we have been up to or will be up to in the upcoming month.
