i'm pro!!!

so here is my first real attempt at my cake! i think it turned out pretty good. i'm going to make a few changes but overall it will be pink, black and CUTE!!!

Bridal Shower

My friends threw me a bridal shower on Saturday Feb 7th! we went to the cheesecake factory, yum, and had a great time. i just wanted to thank everyone for coming! i had a blast, even though it was embarassing :) a special thanks to jalaine and dana for putting it all together! i have the best friends!!! i do need copies of all the pictures though if i can get some. thanks girls!

1 year

i can't believe it's already been a year since scott's mom passed away. time has gone so quickly. it doesn't feel like it's been a year but at the same time it feels like it happened a long time ago. this week has been difficult for Scott and it's got me thinking as well. i was at work on wednesday when i recalled receiving a call from scott telling me his mom was being taken in an ambulance to the hospital. it's hard to retrace those moments. i just want scott to know how much i love and admire him. he has been so strong this past year and has been such an example to me. i know i wouldn't be that strong if roles were reversed. makes me realize how much i love my mom and all she does for us. we miss mary very much and wish she were here but we know that she is happy where she is at and who she is with.
this pictures was before christmas, some of scott's family went to put a tree up at her grave. she loved christmas time and her favorite thing was the smell of a real christmas tree.

Scott + 10 years

Scott's family thinks he looks like a cop with his stash, but when you add his dad's hat and glasses he just looks older. I love scott, but honestly i could do without the stash :)

Happy early Birthday!

When my brother and his family were out for Christmas we decided to have an early Birthday party for my oldest niece Kasia. We had a little party. Kasia and McKinsey both helped me make the cake. We had a lot of fun making it, thanks again girls for your help!
happy Birthday on January 10th Kasia! i can't believe you are going to be 7 years old!!! you are growing up so fast. i had a ton of fun while you were here visiting! love you!

Happy New Year

just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year! good luck with your resolutions! i'm excited for this new year and all the changes that are in store for us! hope you all have good things in store too. happy new year

Stash

Scott is really getting into this mustash thing. This was his latest shave experiment....



and a special thanks goes out to hayden for incouraging this "stash" behavior!
