Hit the Target!



Today, my friend Peggy and I 'hit the Target.' She joined me as I registered for baby items this evening. It was great fun!! Since Steve and I had already registered at BabiesRUs, he was totally fine not going this time. Actually, he asked NOT to! :) Oh well, at least I got him to BabiesRUs, huh? But, when I got home tonight, he wanted to know all what I registered for. We got online and looked and he gave me some more ideas he needed to add. That's the great thing about these registries being online, I can change them WHENEVER I feel like it or change my mind. I love that!!
I also love this little Bright Starts Tropical Turtle! He plays calypso music and I've gotta have it!

Fun with our Niece and Nephew






Steve and I had our niece Lauren (my brother's daughter) and our nephew Cannon (Steve's brother's son) over to spend the night a few weeks ago. Lauren is almost 4 and Cannon is 6 and they get along so well! Having them over for a slumber party was Steve's idea, along with cooking them blueberry pancakes for breakfast! I thought that was so sweet!! :)
We started the evening with the kids making their own child-size pizzas, followed by decorating their own sugar cookies with icing and sprinkles. They had fun playing beauty salon with Uncle Steve and then dress-up together. Lauren seems to just kind of order Cannon around, even though she's younger, but a typical girl!!
The next morning we had blueberry pancakes with bacon! Yummy! Uncle Steve is such a great cook! Then we took the kids to some garage sales and they found some great bargains! Later that day we took the kids to a friend's house to go swimming. We had an excellent time being aunt and uncle that weekend and I got some great photos!!
Being a mommy and daddy is going to be a blast!!!!!!!!!
