Letters to my baby!

Today is March 12th

Hi Gavin! I cannot believe how big you are getting! So many people keep telling me how big you have gotten since they have seen you last. Sometimes this is just about a weeks time! Daddy and I were looking at some of your pictures from when you were just born and I actually felt a little sad to see how small you were and how big you have gotten in such a short period of time! One thing that hasn't changed is that you are such a happy baby. You love laughter, both by you and by everyone else! I love to listen to you laugh!

Here are some of my favorite recent pictures of you! 
They really show what a big boy you are! I love you bunches baby boy!

Love,
Mommy

CaKe PoPs! A sure winner!

I have made cake balls for my team at work a few times for different occasions.
I wanted to change it up a bit and saw this tutorial by Little Miss Momma! So I decided to make cake pops instead!
They are pretty easy to do, they are actually more time consuming then they are difficult!

Start by making any box cake that you would like. Once it is done, take it out of the oven and tear it apart by mixing it with two forks. 

You want to add a can of complimenting frosting to the mixed cake and let it cool. When it is cool, roll them into palm size balls.

Melt a package of baking chocolate in the microwave. Make sure to melt it for 30 minutes, stir, melt for 30 min, stir.... until the chocolate is fully melted.

I started by dipping the sticks into the chocolate a little before sticking it into the cake ball. I then had some trouble with the sticks going straight through the cake and so I tried it without dipping the stick. To be honest I really am not sure which worked better! You might try both and see which you like best. I bought these lolly pop sticks at wal-mart in the cake decorating section!

After I dipped all the cake pops I stuck them into styrofoam to dry.
I took some of the left over chocolate and added food coloring to decorate the tops of the pops! You could really do anything on top!

These were a huge hit! Everyone loved them so much and can't wait for me to make them again!

Letters to my baby! A year ago, today!

.Today is March 15th

Hey baby boy! A year ago today was a very special day! A year ago today Mommy woke up early that morning to see if you were in her tummy and I was so excited to see that you were! Mommy and Daddy had a difficult time getting you here but we would have fought twice as hard for you! You make every moment of our life so much better! To remember that special day I wanted to show the very first letter I wrote to you after finding out you were in my tummy!


Today is March 16th

Yesterday was one of the best days of my life! At 7:40 in the morning I took a test that told me that you are really in there growing! You must have been so excited to tell us because you showed up on the test two days earlier than we thought we would know! I could barely contain how excited I was to finally know that you are really there! In a moment of excitement I called your Daddy to tell him all about you, but realized I could surprise him with the news of you! This is how I told your Daddy!


I told him I had got him a present, and when he opened it he was so surprised! He just kept asking me over and over if you are really there!

We told other friends and family members with a rebus puzzle!
Mommy use to do these all the time when she was younger. You will be able to answer this too when you are older! We are all so excited that you are here and can't wait to meet you! Mommy and Daddy think about you and talk about you all the time! We feel so blessed that God has brought you to us!

Love you bunches,
Mommy


2011 Mommy here and I am still so thankful God brought you to us! we ALL love you soo much!

Letters to my baby!

Today is February 22nd

Hey little man! I cannot believe that you are almost 4 months old! Time is just moving so fast! We are loving watching your every move so much and love watching you learn. One of your favorite things to do is to stand up on our tummies when we are lying down and you look down at our faces. You laugh and talk! It is just so darn cute! More cute moments of yours is when you will get really excited and playful! You will kick your feet and move your hands really quick with this cute serious look on your face! :) You have gotten SOO talkative! I tell you everyday that you are taking after your Daddy because he can hold a conversation with anyone! Mrs. Jennifer (your babysitter) thinks you will be making full sentences in no time haha! I do have to brag about you too because tonight as I laid you on your tummy and you held your head up you rolled over to your back twice!! It was kinda an accident, but you better believe that I will sit in front of you, every moment you are on your tummy, with the video camera ready, just in case it happens again! What can I say, I am a proud Mama! And I always will be!

Love you bunches sweet boy,
Mommy
