Here is my apron to send off for the Summer Fun Apron Swap over at A Feathered Nest, I also made a little dish rag to match! I hope my swap partner likes it and I can't wait to see mine!

It's So Much Fun Turning One

Today was Cooper's First Birthday....this year has gone so fast. It is so hard to believe this failure to thrive baby has turned into our Chunky Monkey!

It was about 95 degrees outside so we had a small Wii tournament going on upstairs at some point but it was a wonderful time with great friends!!! Cooper enjoyed his first cake and we hosed off the chair (and him). Now that Cooper is one, maybe it is time to start considering another little one......hmmmm......husband having heart attack.........

In honor of his nickname, we had a monkey themed party. I made a Monkey Number 1 onesie and matching hat for him to wear. The invites which I received a million compliments on, was created by SafiaStyle , wait until they see the matching Thank-you Cards! The banner was made using this 6" by 6" sampler pack of monkey paper from Barking Dogs Boutique. I simply used some 1/2" red fabric binding and tucked them in and glued it together.

Kids DO the darndest things!

So today my hilariously funny 4-year-old comes downstairs and I ask him if he has brushed his teeth. He looks at me and says "yes". I remember that he got dressed in front of the TV today and he always brushes his teeth before getting dressed so I question him again.

At this point he seems shocked and says yes again and I notice he is covering his nose, looking in his hand and then covering his nose again. So I say "Chase, you didn't brush your teeth did you" and again he says "yes, I did" covering his nose.

So there I have the dead give-a-way that he is not telling the truth. He is checking his nose to make sure it isn't growing like pinocchio's........kids, I tell ya.....they crack me up!!!!

Wordless Wednesday-my poor baby

Well, the Nana is in town for Cooper's first birthday this Saturday and bless her heart, she put him in his 4-year old brother Chases jammies (check out the pant leg dragging on the ground). I had picked up Chase's pirate eyepatch off the ground and put it in my pocket. When I got Cooper out of his crib, I tried it on him and he ended up wearing it like this all morning.

Jammies 3 sizes too big + eyepatch+bottle=FUNNY PHOTO OP!
