2 + 1 = 3

That's right! The word is officially out! Even though people have started to find out on their own bit by bit lol. I can owe that to my extreme flakiness and lame excuses of "I don't feel good...cough cough."

Here's what I've learned over the past 12 weeks...
1. Don't ask me to do anything before noon
2. A person can survive on cheese and crackers
3. I never thought a cheeseburger would sound so disgusting
4. Coke Cola cures stomach aches and headaches...might as well cure cancer
5. Brushing my teeth has now become a bad word at this house. I have actually gone all day without brushing my teeth until I see a Crest commercial to remind me. Even then I dread doing it.
6. Dishes can wait till tomorrow...or the next day...or the next
7. Yoga pants are the best invention evverrrrrrrr

Well there you have it! We are very excited and already anticipating the arrival of our lil bambino May 17th, 2012!!!

Autumn in Grand Rapids

Wow, it's been over a month since my last post. That should tell you something...we've been really busy. Actually, it means we've done absolutely NOTHING so there's been nothing to post about lol. 

But Fall has arrived here in Grand Rapids and it's beautiful! I love fall weather! Fall means, sweaters, scarves, boots, apple cider and pumpkins! But Fall also means Winter is not too far away and I'm not the biggest fan of Winter (except Christmas). 

Anyway, recently we went to Klackle Orchards which is this huge apple orchard and pumpkin patch in Grand Rapids. I guess it's a pretty big deal. We went with some friends, drank apple cider, ate donuts and picked out a pumpkin! Below you can see where they load the freshly picked apples, clean them and bag them for sale. It was pretty cool to see the whole process.

All the pumpkins on the vines were itty-bitty so we picked one that was already picked lol. 

It's pretty much the perfect pumpkin :)

It was cold and windy but it was fun to get out and participate in a Grand Rapids tradition!

I have a sister who's 40!!!

For Stephanie's 40th Birthday the fam and I through her a surprise party! It was sooooooo much fun sneaking around planning this great party for her. She was gone for a weekend getaway with her hubby and when they came home Sunday night (Sept 4th), friends and family were waiting in the shadows. 

It was a "Travel Themed" dessert party. Everything from the invitations to the old fashioned suit cases filled with yummies represented the theme. I chose a travel theme because Steph's real present was a girls getaway at the Grand Floridian Spa! Yup, we spoiled her :)

Take a look at our hard & super fun work...

Happy Birthday to the best big sister I could ever ask for! <3 you!
