She's Having a Baby!

...my sorority sister Katie. NOT ME. I love to host a party so when the opportunity presented itself to host a baby shower for my Alpha Gam sister Katie---well, I took it. I made cupcakes
and cleaned and decorated and waited for the guests to arrive. We played games and watched as Katie opened what turned out to be bath after bath after bath present. Yes, it's a baby shower...but no, we did not need to take it so literally! But, come to think of it, babies always look cutest (and smell nicest) right out of the bath. This is the first baby for Katie and her husband Ben. How they are getting through nine months of not knowing the sex of the baby is way beyond me. I can't even make it through the week without knowing what's happening next on "Grey's Anatomy"...
The guest of honor enjoyed an afternoon that was all about her and the rest of us enjoyed an excuse to get together and enjoy delicious pupus...oh, and the upcoming arrival of who they affectionately call "Baby B". Congratulations Katie and Ben~
Here's the link for the amazing photos Mai Ly took...you may never be interested in any of my photos again...

I'm in love with this new outfit of Zach's. Okay, outfit might be stretching it...onesie. I have to share. As usual, the picture is sub standard, but if you click here , you can go to the website where other cuteness can be found. Better pictures there. I guess that's why I don't get paid the big bucks, I can spread the word, but my advertising photo skills are lacking. No matter. Still a cute onesie. And still a cute baby. Thanks to my mommy friend Summer for sharing this rocking onesie with us. We love it. Consider this the thank you note?

...pumpkin patch in Hawaii! Last year, Zachy was two months old when fall (and all the festivities that go with it) arrived. We had the best intentions of heading out to the pumpkin patch in search of the perfect pumpkin for our new little pumpkin, but c-section mania, baby carrier issues, and sleeplessness prevented pumpkin patching. Not this year! Today's fun more than made up for missing out last year. I am amazed when I think about all the things Gabe did and saw over the course of a couple of hours for only $20. And here's the list: 1. Picked out the 2012 family pumpkin 2. Ate and dripped shave ice with and on brother 3. Decorated mini pumpkin 4. Observed Jackson Chameleons lounging on the arm of volunteer workers 5. Ate a hamburger (they don't do cheese) with brother 6. Petting zoo with 600lb pig, turtles, sheep, cow, donkey, and others 7. Pumpkin cannon (best event of the outing) 8. Large sweet tea in take home mason jar (moms treat of the day) 9. Real Trac...

August Goal: 30 Days of New Recipes

Image
Month eight is complete!  August was a month of learning about new ingredients, trying new recipes, making a few mistakes in the kitchen, and filling our hearts and bellies with happiness and deliciousness.  I’m so glad I made the eighth month of my twelve month long challenge/journey, a culinary challenge.  Last month, in July, my challenge was to document delight…I documented it everyday for thirty days and then neglected to document my DELIGHT journey on the Blog.  It could still happen…   August is my youngest sons birth month.  He loves to cook and bake and cause general chaos in the kitchen so it seemed appropriate that I make August the month of new recipes.  Also, I love books…to include cookbooks…which I seem to have a pretty nice collection of.  Anyway, I have all these cookbooks and many of them hadn’t even been cracked open or recipes attempted…until now.  Most all the cookbooks turned out to be winners (with only a couple of non-...
