6? SIX? Already....

How can my lil man be 6 today?
It seems like yesterday we were here:

Now we're here:

I had to throw this picture in there because seeing makes me know 100% that we brought the right baby home from the hospital!! THat is SO Alex:

We've got a long day: therapy, lunch, kindergarten (mommy bringing cupcakes and juice for snack!), Mall of America and then home for presents!!

I {heart} theme gifts...

I love to give themed gifts - for example, my sweet neices when they are into a certain character, I make them a birthday basket full of goodies that are all Dora or Little Mermaid.
Sometimes I get to carry this out with adults, but not often!
For my sister's birthday, I made her an apron and sent with it a good kitchen knife and some cute rubber gloves:

She texted me this picture to say thank you! She's so funny!! That apron is almost as sassy as she is, almost!

It's March!!!!!!!!!

Alex LOVES March, it's his birthday month! He's sings, "It's March, Marchy, Marchy, March, iiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's March!"

His birthday party this year will be at the Holiday Inn's water park, right down the road from our house - very exciting! Here are his invitations:

Alex also got new glasses:

Pre-hockey has started back:

I made another apron, this one is for my sister's birthday:

One day I'm going to get around to making one for myself, one day!

Thank you for all of your comments on the glasses, I have #5 but my 30 days isn't up yet!! LOL!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Help me decide!!

I need help! I bought new glasses and they made the mistake of telling me that I could exchange them within 30 days if I didn't like them - HUGE mistake on their part, they had no idea they were telling Miss Indecisive to come back three times to try on glasses! Will you take a look, leave a comment telling me which option you prefer? THanks!!

Oh and I don't take good self-portraits and ignore the the lovely cold sore! ;)

Option 1:

Option 2:

Option 3:

Option 4:

Option 5:

So I picked option 5 originally, here I am in them this morning:

Which do you like the best?!

20 Wishes mini album...

Trisha at Just4Keeps gave us a wonderful challenge, to create a 20 Wishes Album. I chose to make it an album for Alex about his Uncle Jason who's in Heaven.

The front is smaller than the back, it's graduated and I used brown paper bags as the base. I kept each page simple, picture(s), stamp, journaling and three buttons to represent Jen, Jason and I!

Take a look:

Thanks to Trisha and J4K for the awesome challenge and thank you for takin a peak!!
