Finished Crib

Last time I posted pictures of the crib it looked like this...


Josh's mom finished staining the crib last week and Josh picked it up and put it all together on Saturday. He still needs to install the board that will hold up the mattress, but he should get around to doing it this week.

Dresser/Changing Table

So this is what the dresser looked like back in August. Josh's mom was kind enough to stain the dresser for us and got around to doing it last week. We picked out drawer handles the other day and Josh put the drawer fronts and drawer handles on over the weekend. Josh's mom is also staining the crib for us and should be done with it soon.

Car Seat Canopy

My friend Nicole made a car seat canopy for her baby boy a few months ago and posted a link to the tutorial she used on her blog. I picked out some cute fabric and buttons and followed the tutorial to make one for our baby girl. I love how it turned out and it was really easy to make.

Mexican Salad

This is a recipe my mom came up with. Josh isn't a big fan of salad. He says it isn't very filling, but this is one salad he LOVES.

3 cooked chicken breasts, diced and seasoned with fajita seasoning
1 head of Romaine lettuce, torn into pieces
1 avocado, diced
1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (8 oz) package cheddar cheese, diced
1 small can sliced olives
2 green onions, chopped
1 tomato, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 bag Fritos
cilantro, chopped


Toss all ingredients, except the Fritos and cilantro, in a large bowl. Serve with salsa, ranch dressing, sour cream or any other dressings you desire. Top with Fritos and cilantro.

Kacie's Wedding

This past weekend I flew out to North Carolina for my best friend Kacie's wedding. Kacie and I have know each other since 3rd grade and she was my maid of honor at my wedding. The ceremony was beautiful and I was glad I was able to make the trip to share the special day with her.

This is where they had their reception
