Soap Cupcakes

Grate a bar of soap. I used Yardley of London, it has a nice lavender smell. This should make about 4 "cupcakes".



Add extras...lavender, oatmeal, etc. Then microwave it for about a minute.



Push the mixture into cupcake wrappers in a muffin tin (I used the foil ones). Let it set (about 12 hours or so).



Melt down some more soap, preferably a cute color like pink or blue, and let it cool for a small amount of time until you are able to "gob" it on top of the "cake". I added some glitter to make it extra girly.



Yum, looks good enough to eat, and smells so good. I gave two of them to a friend for her birthday.

Here's a few things we've been doing this week.


Once I found out we're having a boy I could finish my diaper cake.



We're introducing the idea of a potty to Bryson, even though I know it will be a year or so before he really starts to understand the concept.



Bryson hanging out with his cousin Troy. I can just imagine them as teenagers!



A sneaky shot I took (don't let him see you!!!) of Bryson being such a good boy in church nursery. They're having their snack of goldfish, string cheese and mandarin oranges (which it was my turn to bring).

It's A Boy!

I know everyone was hoping for a girl...but we couldn't be more overjoyed to have another boy. Think of all the money we'll save, we already have everything! I told Brett he's lucky, I don't feel the urge to shop since it's a boy. We aren't going to stop at two, so there's still more chances to have a girl. Just like my sister-in-law Lexi always says, "I'm happy having all boys". We'll take whatever God gives us and just be thankful they're healthy, happy and well loved :)

Height Calculator

I saw a link to calculate the height your child will be here:

Misc. Photo Update

Bryson's always finding creative ways to play. He's really into stacking and lining up things lately.



Finishing off Mama's Root beer. The kid LOVES Root beer.



Snuggling on the swing during playgroup. Such good loves!

Happy 80th Birthday "Gus"!

My Grandma Barbara has a wonderful man in her life and this month he turned 80! We celebrated with family and friends at the Lodge in their neighborhood and had a wonderful time.

Gus giving a speech (his first name is Ken, but we call him Gus so as not to confuse him with my dad...also Ken).



Grandma Barbara giving a wonderful toast. We felt the love.



Jayden doing a great job entertaining Bryson.



Our cute little boy. Being shy and hiding in daddy's legs.




We really enjoyed seeing everyone again... and Gus, I hope you know how much we love you and you are such a blessing in our life.
