Hiya Papaya!


My cute friend Cristi is an AMAZING photographer and is giving away a free photoshoot (I assume it is for the locals). Check out her blog here and look at her amazing new house. (the post is below the contest information on her blog). I was drooling over it this year in the Utah Valley Parade of homes! Be sure to visit for your chance to win a free shoot with her!

A new post is coming soon about my new house. Check back in a day or so!
Hope you're having an amazing summer!

CRAFTING CHICKS

I Was Featured on The Crafting Chicks
Today I am featured on the Crafting Chicks website. So excited that they invited me over to their fantastic crafting amazingness. The post is all about how I organize my digital photos. Please feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions and I will do a big answer"fest" for those of you who have questions. Click here to go to the post!

This organizational method that I have created is something I have thought out for a long time, and the post took me weeks to prepare for. Definitely worth the visit!

In the meantime, still unpacking, trying to quit my head from spinning ... I promise I will be back soon!

I can't believe he is 2!

Yesterday Chad turned two!

I can't believe how fast he is growing!

Let me tell you about my little Chad.

First ... He loves balls. He is pure boy. He is REALLY Little! 2 % in weight and height! His best friend is Bryson. He loves "Appache the horse" (this is one of the horses that boards in the barn in the back of our house). He loves to watch Tangled (because of the horse of course!). He hates to eat, unless it is pancakes / waffles, peanut butter, pizza, or spaghetti. He gives the BEST hugs. He sings I am a child of God word for word. He loves mommy!

For his Birthday, we woke up and had waffles, opened presents, and played with all of his new toys. Then his cousin, and favorite babysitter came to help me out for a few hours so I could prepare for his Birthday Party.

Here is the invite for his birthday:copyright Mandy Douglass Design
We decided to have a BALL birthday party! We started off with different "ball activity stations. Here is some pictures of each station.



After each station we took a picture with all of Chads cousin's and friends:Then we had Ball Cupcakes, and Ball Drinks:He even got to have a ride on his favorite animal friend Appache, and Mindy (Appache's owner was so sweet to give anyone who wanted to at the party a little ride too!) ( I should have just has the riding the horse as the whole party. Chad has been telling everyone he see's that he got to ride Appache for his Birthday!)

And last, gave party favors to all who attended!Chad had a wonderful birthday, and mom got a WONDERFUL night's sleep! WHEW was I tired! Birthday parties are exhausting :)
