Hurricane Harbor

By -


 We have really enjoyed going to Hurricane Harbor, the waterpark in Six Flags.  

We got there when the park first opened and had a chance to have run of the smaller waterslides that Charlie rides. Aaron and Sarah Graves went off to ride bigger slides and Charlie and I had a blast riding each of the 4 slides over and over again. It is a big structure with lots of ways to climb up and he loved taking the lead and guiding us there. I loved seeing him so happy and confident, just loving life. I wish I had pictures of the look on his face, but I was grateful to just be in the moment with him. 

Sarah Graves had an even better time when her friend Caroline was able to meet us there!

They were so excited to run around together and try out the different waterslides. 

 We took a break for lunch before heading out into the park to ride some rides, plus there was rain coming making the water activities shut down!

A little more love from my good buddy.

Charlie wanted to ride the sky buckets and I was surprised how much they enjoyed doing that!



This silly guy!

 We love the Wonder Woman ride! So much fun!


So much fun to have hang out with friends, ride some rides, and enjoy a good time as a family!

Frozen Party Details

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too! It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! 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
