Sunday Funday!

By -
We got up Sunday morning and joined everyone for breakfast. The newlyweds came down and all the family, too. Sarah Graves was beyond excited to see her cousins again!
The kids could see the trolley stop from the hotel and Charlie very badly wanted to ride it just like Daniel Tiger! Aunt Linda, Pat, Aunt Tammy, Uncle Tim, Eric, Jennifer and all the kids decided we were up for a trolley ride. Once we were on the trolley we figured we might as well ride the streetcar too. Dad navigated for us and we rode all the way up and back! On our way back we got off to check out a Blues Festival before heading back to go home.

SG quickly ditched us to be with her cousins and ended up toward the back. I guess that's a preview of her teenage years!


Riding with Pops

It was hard to say goodbye to our sweet family.

We knew it would be a late night getting back but we had a great time! It was just a weekend but we had so much fun and made so many memories that I know we will hold onto for years to come.

There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Cloth vs. Disposable

By -
We have mostly been planning to do disposable diapers because I felt that cloth would just be too much work when I go back to work.  Then, we saw these diapers called happy heiny's ( www.happyheinys.com ).  These looked much different than what I envisioned cloth diapers to look like.  Mom used cloth diapers with me and Jeanne', so she felt totally up for using them while Sarah Graves is at her house.  I started looking into the cost comparison and depending on what type of cloth diapers you buy, you can save anywhere from $1200 - $1700.  That is pretty attractive, not to mention knowing that you aren't filling up a landfill somewhere.  There are lots of different varieties of cloth diapers out there, but the ones that seem to be a good investment and user friendly are diapers that have snap closures, with a pocket for an insert to absorb the contents, and they are one size that adjusts as your baby grows from a newborn up to 35 pounds.  You can also purchase the traditio
