Back up & running

Wow, what a crazy few weeks it's been. Right after Halloween our computer decided it was going to quit on us. Luckily we were able to get a new one. When Chris found a minute he was able to help me figure out why I couldn't load pictures on the new computer.
Then our internet provider (I won't mention any names) that starts with an 'A' and ends with a 'T' had a difficult time figuring out why our internet wasn't working. Hence no internet for 5 1/2 days. That was nothing but torture.
We are now back together and feeling much better about the electronics in our home. While I was offline my friend Ashley and I made a diaper cake for another friends' baby shower. It turned out so cute...I had to share. The parents to be are huge A&M fans and so we picked some chic fabric to wrap the diapers in with that schools' colors.

I also celebrated my last and final birthday on the 8th! I will now be 29 forever!!! Honestly though, I'm not too concerned about getting older or hitting 30 next year.

My baby brother got accepted to UVU for next fall!!!! CONGRATS SHAWN! My 4 boys and I are sure going to miss having him so close!

And this week has been the absolute best week for our family. Normally Cameron gives us fits about his clothes EVERY SINGLE MORNING! Starting Sunday we had a nice, enjoyable morning before church and it's been that way every day thus far! I'm pretty flabergasted! Even after school I've had no problems getting the boys to do homework. I'm so grateful for the happiness I have felt this week. Not only that, but we did a little rearranging of furniture. We thought it was time that Colin have his own room. Austin is still in the crib for a bit longer, but is sharing a room with Cameron & the bunk beds. Colin now has Austins' old room and the 'guest bed'. I also used mod pod and touched up a plain old white frame with a picture of Colin when he was like 2 to put on his nightstand.

How fun that Collin gets his own room! It looks great.
The diaper cake is so cute, you are very talented.
Hopefully now you won't have any problems with the internet!

Happy 29th! (I guess I'll be saying that for years to come?)

I'm jealous about the clothes. Around here, Little Man will only wear shirts that don't hit his wrist and/or hang down too low. Forget all the cute size 4 and 5 shirts hanging in the closet -- it's all size 3 for us. Ugh!

So exciting for Colin!!! Aaron got his flu shot a few weeks ago but I am just now feeling better so I plan on going tomorrow!

Ashley said...

Colin's new room looks great! I really like what you did with the picture frame! That diaper cake was so much fun! I'm doing one right now for Lindsey and it is turning out really cute! You need to come see it!

Maren said...

That diaper cake is by far the best looking one I've ever seen.
Collin's room looks really nice. I'll bet he's feeling pretty grown up.
Okay, so we've GOT to figure out sometime to go and hang out. I miss you.

You make the best diaper cakes, that one is so divine. I am sure the person who got it just about died! I would have!

Happy 29th Birthday (belated!) I am 29 this month too!

Mindy,

So great to hear from you. How are you? Wow!! We are in the 4th ward still. I'm excited to have a smaller ward. Where do y'all live? Are you on facebook? Add me as a friend if you are. We do have 4 boys, 5 including Barry. Life is crazy but really good. Busy for Thanksgiving with 19 guests in my home. ARGH! Good times to be had.
