Random cuteness....

If you would like to follow my blog, I've added the "follow" button on the left sidebar.  Just click it, and you can easily be updated when I make a new post.  I would love to know who (if anyone besides family) reads it, so please don't be shy! :) 

By the way, Aiden says "hi".  He's 10 months now!
Every month I keep saying that it's my favorite age so far, but I really do think 10 months is just the best!  We're having so much fun!

And these video clips of Aiden and Brandon make me laugh out loud every time.  They'll just make you happy!



Here's another....this went on for a couple minutes.. I don't know whose laugh is crazier, my husband's or Aiden's!



I will post some more photos from Easter soon.  My parents came up for the weekend, and we went to the zoo.  Oh, but we did end up giving Aiden this storybook Bible as part of his Easter basket.  I love the subtitle, "Every story whispers His name".   I know he's only 10 months, but my desire is to start the family tradition of family devotions from an early age.

Beauty

I think it's crazy but true how much we (girls especially) base our definition of beauty on what we see in magazines, tv, etc... why do we do that?? I confess it's sometimes easy for me to fall into that trap of comparing myself... what if I lost 15 pounds or wore this makeup or got my hair cut in this way... and on and on?? This will never lead to a right attitude!! How do we keep a right perspective then?? Two thoughts come to my mind: 1) Stop the comparing, and replace it with an accurate (God-centered) view of ourselves. Beauty is good. God created us, and said it was "good". He wants us to take care of ourselves. It's important to me to exercise, eat healthy ...I want to continue those habits (or get better at them in some cases :). I even want to try to look my best...when I know Brandon is coming to see me, I've found I just naturally want to look nice....I can't help it! I think God is honored by those attitudes, but he hates when we compare ours...

Aiden's 1st Birthday Party - Sat, May 29th.

Aiden's birthday party was so much fun, and I wanted to share some pictures from his party (over two weeks ago now, but better late than never, right?!)  It was a great time with family and friends and we have much to be thankful for.  We had a backyard BBQ, cake inside, and then headed back outside for Aiden to open gifts.  The Birthday Boy and his cake table!! I did a "Very Hungry Caterpillar" theme because he loves books, and this is a book that's been very special to me.  The favours were gummy worms in bags that said: "Thanks for 'inching' your way to my party, Love, Aiden".  I got the idea for the caterpillar cupcake cake online, along with several other ideas, and loved how it turned out.  I covered cardboard with white butcher paper and painted "Happy 1st Birthday Aiden" on it for the cake board.  I used Red and Leaf Green Icing Color (rather than regular food coloring) to get the rich color, and piped the icing on with a i...

I guess I need a new name for this old blog...

Whew... I have this funny habit of blogging for a few months, stopping for a couple years, then starting back up ... hmmm.  I guess I've been busy.  Since I last wrote, we've added a second little boy to the family.  Hudson Loyal - born May 22, 2011.  "Hudson" because both Brandon and I love the name.  It means "son of Hud" .... how profound, right? :)  But to us it also represents the famous missionary to China who also had the same last name.  Loyal was my maternal grandfather's name.  He was a faithful, "loyal", quiet, hard-working, outdoors man who lived all his life in Wisconsin and worked on the farm and in the fire tower (do I have that right, mom?).  Hudson is not so little anymore - he's 8 months now.  He is our sweet gift from God.
