Happy Birthday, Aaron!

By -

For Aaron's birthday, we were able to surprise him with his Mom coming to visit! Sarah Graves came home from camp that morning and we headed straight to the lake, so she was just as surprised to see Grancy! So fun!





We did a little swimming, then made a fantastic dinner, if I do say so myself! We made some of the best filet mignons, baked potatoes, and roasted asparagus. I was nervous for us to make steaks for a crowd of ten since we usually only make steaks for us at home, but we adjusted our recipe and they came out beautiful!

After dinner, we took a wonderful sunset cruise!







There was dancing and singing while we watched the sun go down. 

Sissy endured a lot of questions about the dances at camp!

For dessert, Aaron requested a peach cobbler and Jeanne' made him a good one!

Charlie made a card before camp to be sure his Daddy had a good birthday. 

Livy was excited to give Uncle Aaron her card!

Sissy missed her puppy! I think Lucy missed all the belly rubs. 

Aaron racked up on gifts with a pole saw, accessories to help him on our road trip, office chair, and large computer monitor.

Sis took Grancy and Ger Ger on a golf cart ride. 

It was also a lot of fun for Grancy to see her up on waterskis! 
She has been working so hard wanting to go over the wake, but hasn't quite done it.






It was fun to see Grancy and Ger Ger and we had a great weekend at the lake!

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
