Easter, Birthday, Graduation, Baby

I am so glad that Leah came 4 days early. She was due on the 16th, but was born on the 12th. It was perfect, because Bowen's 2nd birthday was the 20th and my mom's BYU Law School graduation was on the 23rd. I know it's pretty selfish of me, but I wanted her to come early so that I could enjoys all the parties.

Bowen jammin' on the piano. I just found these headphones. It's great, he loves them, and I don't have to listen to him play the same note 50 times in a row, or make the annoying machine gun sound.

I made this Fire Truck Cake. It was super easy, but the red food coloring (which I bought from Roberts in the cake decorating section) stained everyone's teeth pink. Thanks to everyone who came to Bowen's party and all of the nice gifts!

My grandma Zwahlen came to Utah for my mom's graduation. It was so nice to see her and my grandpa. They even brought Leah a cute baby blanket that they make for all their great grandchildren, which is quite a lot now!

Bowen found his old Halloween costume which I made for him when he was 6 months old. I was afraid of making it too small, so it still fits him. I'm really proud of my handywork, especially the toes on the feet!

Welcome Baby Leah!!

Happy Late Birthday to me!

I turned 25 on February 25th. So it was my golden birthday. It was a really fun day, and entire weekend. My brother Jake played in the state basketball tournament. Their first game was on my birthday and they won. They won the next 2 days and became STATE CHAMPIONS!!! I'm so proud of my brother Jake. I actually cried as he cut part of the net down. Anyway, my sister Hilary and her baby Brad came in town for the weekend, and we had a ton of fun together: we got pedicures, went to lunch and went shopping. Seth even watched Bowen for me while we had some girl time together.

My mom made me this amazing chocolate cake with real whipped cream and homemade frosting!

Also, lately Bowen is our little drummer boy. He carries his drums all around the house. I'll post a video soon!

Valentine's Cookies!

We had a few friends over last week to make Valentine's sugar cookies. It was Bowen's first time making sugar cookies and he loved it! We talked about cookies all morning, then when his friends came over instead of playing with them, he helped with the cookies the whole time. He really liked cutting them out and putting them on the pan. He wasn't very interested in decorating, he just liked to eat the plain cookies.

These are his friends Sawyer and Jackson

It's a girl!

I got my ultrasound this week, and it looks like Bowen is going to have a sister! We are so excited. I was expecting a boy all along, but I'm really glad it's girl so that I can dress her cute, and hopefully she will be my friend when she's older. Here I come Baby Gap!
