We had Justin's first birthday at Volunteer Park.

Ballon animals I made as party favors. They went over great with all the kids at the park including the other birthday party.

Huh that is what happened to the cupcakes! I was wondering why they were smashed.

Time to blow out the candle.

Cupcake Toppers I made with my cricut.

Too bad he liked ripping the paper better than what was inside.

My Etsy Shop

Okay I know you guys have just been stirring in your seats to check out my etsy shop. I really only have Christmas stuff and two dresses right now but you can special request clothes if you like (I think) by emailing me. I made this dress for Lilly for Christmas by request (I know these aren't the best pictures of her I could have gotten but you get the idea). If you mention this blog I'll give you a discount of course. My url is http://www.etsy.com/shop/uptomykneesincrafts

Its Just Too Cute

On our way to my dad's house this Thanksgiving we all had to stop and stretch our legs so we stopped near Ocacobee and there was a small playground witha slide that had rollers. As you can see Justin loved it.

Marriage to Peter

This year our anniversary fell on Thanksgiving. Although this wasn't a problem we didn't really feel like the day was ours so to speak since we were with family. We went and saw Fiddle on the Roof in Oct. to celebrate so it wasn't lost. But I wanted to tell you all how much being married these 5 years have meant to me. Peter has been a great husband so tolarent of my annoying habits and understanding. I don't remember life ever being this good. I am thankful especially for him and his love. I love him even more as I watch him with our son. I don't know how it is possible to love someone a little bit more each day but it can happen (Even though some days I forget). He has made my life very complete and taught me so much in the process. I am blessed to have these years thus far with my husband and look forward to the years to come.

Walking Justin

Happy Happy Feet!! Justin is so glad he is walking. When he relized he was walking on his own he looked at me and started to laugh and clapped his hands. He already knows pride. Its great.

Cayo Costa Island

We went to Cayo Costa Island for a family trip and it was a great getaway. It was a primitive camping island that we had to take a ferry out to. It was a lot of fun but we didn't have enough time there. We both got our fishing licenses and caught fish right off the shore of course we didn't know what they were and we caught and released. Next time we are planning on bringing a chart that has pictures and regulations on it and cook some of the fish. Justin was really good the only problm was he took his naps in our arms preferably listening to the waves. There was also great shelling and I got some cool shells. There was a lot of beach space and we barely saw anyone else there. It was a perfect vacation!!
