Another Martha Stewart?!

Okay, so she's much cooler than Martha Stewart - my friend Melissa knows how to throw an awesome baby shower! Everything she touches turns out great - from the baby rattle cupcakes, to the diaper roll cake (thanks to Ana, also) to the letter flash cards spelling the baby's name to tea lights in baby food jars, not to mention the awesome "taggie" blanket she made. . .the baby shower for Ronya and her soon-to-be-born baby Callie was fantastic. Check it out:

The games, provided by Sarah, were fun as well - not your average shower game, which was a huge plus! I just had to share it with you - and if I'm going to be involved in planning a shower for any of you out there, Melissa's agreed to teach me everything she knows, so you'll probably see these things again :-)

Mohawk Man

Matthew's gonna be a punk rocker! Okay, maybe - maybe not - but he's got the hair! He had the outfit too, but messed it up before I could take a picture :-( Oh well, another time! This ones for the "D" (you know who you are!)

.

Cute, Funny AND Smart. . .

The whole package! Or at least I think so :-) Just another glimpse into day-to-day Matthew. . .

. . .but seriously, what's up with the hair?!

Oregon or Bust!

We just got home (well, Monday) from a week away in Portland, Oregon. We had an amazing time - the weather was perfect, we got to hang out with my brother everyday, the house we stayed at was wonderful and there was just so much to do! We went to the coast and visited Cannon Beach one day, the next we went and saw Multnomah Falls (beautiful) which is right off the highway and we hiked to the top of that, then we were able to have dinner with our friends Bret, Brandie and their son Tyler one night, walk around town and go to the zoo with Josh's old bandmate and friend Davey and his wife Briana one day, and we got to see my bro as a waiter at CPK several times! Matthew was a champ - he slept really well and took the flights great as well. We were truly blessed by this trip! Here are just a few (ok, so maybe more than a few) snapshots to let you in on the happenings of our vacation. . .

Fun, Fun, Fun!

Okay, so it's not the best clip - but I still think it's darn cute!
