Nellie Girl is ONE!

Nellie's birthday was over a month ago, but it's been a busy month, so here are some pictures from her PINK birthday party.

This is the centerpiece of the table. Pink everything! I was loving it!This was Nellie's cupcake. It had the extra dots because she chose to pull a cupcake down on Sunday morning when I was decorating. I snatched it back and made sure not to confuse it with everyone elses!

These are her "pup cups." We filled them with either puppy chow or your drink of choice. Elizabeth and I spent a couple hours making them! I think they turned out splendidly, though!

Nellie's birthday banner. Which I spent about 4 hours on by myself, and Elizabeth helped with for about 1 or so one day! It was beautiful though. (It's actually still up! hehe) Zach wants to know when I am going to take it down. Also, ignore our ceiling, we took down the ceiling tiles and have yet to refinish it!

Our sweet girl in her birthday outfit!

All of her gifties!

Nellie with her Aunt Suzanne. Who refers to herself as "Favorite Person" when Nellie is around. (The name is self explanatory!)

Holding Nellie as she dug into her "pupcake!" She loved it, even though I'm pretty sure her vet would frown upon us giving it to her! Shhh, don't tell!

Really getting in to it now! How sweet is her birthday hat! I made it as well. She wasn't a big fan as I made two seperate bands, one for each ear. It was hilarious to watch her shake it off though!

Sweet girl with her chicken. (RIP chicken, he hardly lasted a day. She chewed the heck out of him!)

Opening presents, at which she did a fabulous job! I couldn't believe how she would dig into the presents. I think she definitely knew they were all for her.
This shirt was from her Nana and Poppy! (Zach's parents) It says in glitter studded letters "Pick of the Litter." She certainly was! Although Zach loves to tell her that she was the only one left, so she wasn't! Haha. She doesn't care what he says, she loves him anyway!
Opening pork chomps from Aunt Elizabeth!
Birthday girl with her Mama! So stinkin' cuuuuuuute!
Nellie told me to thank Mama Ruth, Granddaddy Mike (I am making up these names as they refuse to be called dog grandparents), Mama Joyce, Aunt Suzanne, Aunt Elizabeth, Nana, and Poppy for coming to her party. She had such a fun time and after everyone left she kept running around looking for where all her guests went!


Her party also got some of my overflowing party ideas out, but lets hope I'm still as crazy with our human kids! ; ) (Otherwise they may be a little jealous when they find out the dog had a better 1st birthday party than them!)

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room.  That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there.  It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up.  So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own.  Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more.  It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : )) Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels.  I think we were all nervous to cut it.  It was too costly to mess up! Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

Turns out...

Third grade is not bad at all! The kids are still pretty sweet and are so excited for me to be there and I am excited too! I think it will be fun to see all that they can do and have fun with them. Yesterday I received 5 notes on my desk about how excited that I was there and about how much fun we were going to have. I think they are right! Hopefully I get the hang of them quickly, because I start teaching Science (Mon and Wed), Social Studies(Tues and Thur), and PE (Fri) next week!

Bumpdate: 41 weeks!

How Far along: 41 weeks.   Baby's size: Size of a jack fruit!  Around 7.5 lbs. (I think he's going to be about 8 lbs and Zach's official guess is 9 lbs. 2 oz.  I hope he's wrong!) Weight loss/gain: 30 lbs. (So glad the weight gain is slowing down!) Sleep: I told Zach I no longer am even trying to keep track of how much I am getting up to go to the bathroom. Gender: B-O-Y Movement:  He has been back to his super active little self this week.  Best Moment of this week:  Getting to spend time at home together now that we're finished with the old house.  Also, the 3 day weekend!  We didn't sleep in, much, but we figure that's all about to end anyway! Looking Forward: Getting to meet our baby boy.  I think it will be a little weird, because I truly don't feel like I'm finished being pregnant yet.  But, alas, we pretty much have to follow Dr.'s orders. Food cravings: Still pineapple!  ...
