Domesti-Kati

So i decided to try to become more domesticated, and I thought being home with Jackson and having all the "free time" on my hands it would be pretty easy to do so..... Oh yeah, what is "free time"?  Anyway, it has been fun to do more cooking/baking/cleaning/growing, it is definately a work in progress.  One thing that I am pretty proud of is making my own diaper wipes. My friend Brittany gave me this kit to make diaper wipes at my baby shower, and I really like them.

Diaper Wipes

You need: baby oil, baby wash, water, paper towels, air-tight container

Instructions: Cut paper towel roll in half creating two short rolls, remove cardboard center. Mix 1 1/4 c water, 1 T baby oil, 2 T baby wash. Place cut side of paper towels down into mixture in container. Replace lid and soak 8 hours.

Our House

Here are some before and after pictures of our first home. We moved in Juy 11, 2009-on our 1st Wedding anniversary.  In the last two years we have put in our backyard and just planted some trees and shrubs. We have a peach tree, a lemon tree, 2 serviceberry trees, a korean lilac and a wine & roses weigela.  I am anxious to see how these turn out, they are so pretty and smell great.  It is so nice to sit out on our patio in the cool evenings! I love having a place to call home.

Wordless Wednesday

Go Rockies!!!

Tonight Chris, Uncle Twan and I went to the first Rockies game of the year.  What a game, they won 15-4, it wasn't too hot, we got a little rain, and the Rockies gave us a fun game to watch.  We are so lucky to have Twan in our lives, he has been Chris's best friend since pre-school!  Thanks for going to the game!

Jackson was definately the biggest fan, but unfortunately it was too cold for him to come.  He got to stay home with Nana.  We feel so blessed to have Nana living so close now, and I am so happy Jackson gets to spend so much time with her. Thanks Mom!!! We love you!

Kentucky Derby Bridal Shower

Jenn, Kati, Danelle, Amanda, Bree, Sunny, Sarah

Sunday was Amanda's Bridal Shower, it was a Kentucky Derby theme. We all wore big hats and dresses. We had Mint Juleps, caprese skewers, little sandwiches and cupcakes. It was a lot of fun! There were prizes for the biggest and most creative hats. I don't have pictures of the winners, but they were pretty extravagant.
