Preparations





Wedding preparations are in full force. Mother, Tamara, Brooke (bride), and I finished sewing the tablecloths for the dinner and reception. The fabric Brooke chose is super cute! We decided we want to get together once a month and have everyone bring their sewing machines and a project they are working. Gus had the longest nap of his life that day, a blissful 4 hour nap. Look at the cute silhouettes of my sis and brothers behind my mom. Ashlee's hair is epic in her silhouette:)

Berry Berry Good


This boy loves eating strawberries, blueberries, and bananas in his mesh teether. The only problem is all of his white onesies have stains on them. I did find a recipe for homemade oxyclean, I will let you know how it works on this dirty boy's shirts!

Our Weekend





Mom, Naomi, Brooke, Me, Ashlee, Amy
All of us at Brooke's bridal shower! They had the yummiest food, raw macaroons, red pepper dip, caprese salad, a yummy macaroni salad, cream puffs, veges to dip. I wish I would have taken a picture of the food...

Gus with his adopted Grandparents Steve and Jill. Every time we get together with these two they have a present for Gus. This time it was the cutest cat stuffed animal, you can see its face on the left of the photo. They spoil him rotten just like he is one of their own!

Goodbye

We said a sad goodbye to the bird killer this week. You will be missed!

from one to three

I went from having one child Sunday night, to having three Monday morning. My sister and some of her family and my mother went on a cruise, so I got to watch Kinlee and Kason. It was really nice having older children to keep Gus entertained. Kinlee was such a big helper and Gus loved her attention. Kason loved to entertain Gus as well, needless to say I got a lot more done this week then I usually do.

I bought this cute rocking horse at a yardsale Saturday, so I re-painted it and stuck Gus on it. He loved it!

We went swimming and the munchkins had baths together afterwards.




Uparati

My good friend Hanna came to visit little Gus this past week. She is living back East at an Ashram, yep she is pretty cool like that. She is really living it up just like the movie Eat, Pray, Love minus the bugs she says! They gave her a new name hence the blog post title, her new name is Uparati. She looks great, and I think she got some good bonding time with the little mister.

QUIETBOOKERS

Oh man, the first few quiet pages have come in and boy are they cute! I have a nice pile building for everyone in the group on my kitchen table. Can't wait to see the rest:)
