It's been 1 year today.

           Today is one year since my sweet grandma past away. She past away on Mothers day last year. This is a really emotional one for me. Not sure i can write this. There was one thing I wanted. I prayed that she would live long enough to see and know that i had a child. I remember when we took Faith to see her in the nursing home. She wasn't always w it, but she knew who you were. she said" this is your baby" "you had a baby" "she is a doll, she is a doll". I could see how happy she was for me.(i don't think i have a picture w her and Faith, wish i did.)

           She was such a dear sweet grandma i was close too. I wouldn't be where i am at today, if it wasn't for her.(I knew the tears would come). I know she is so happy right now. She is w my grandpa and our Savior. I am so happy for the Plan of Salvation. Having the knowledge that i can be w her again one day. I am so thankful for families and the sealing power, to be sealed as a family.

Such a cute couple. Look what is in her hand. She loved to talk on the phone, she was a social butterfly.

She is beautiful!

I love you Grandma!

One

Today is the big day! Faith is one. Where did the year go! We are so thankful for her. She brings so much joy to our family.  We love everything about her. This is going to be a fun day. Momma is making her cake. Being a mother is such a huge joy! Love her! I have so many emotions inside right now. My baby is now a toddler. But always my baby in my heart. I thank my Heavenly Father so much!

Isn't she a cutie!

Practice round

So Faith birthday is coming up. Who I usually order my cakes from is on vacation. I had many ,give me referrals, but I decided I would make her birthday cake. I found this cake and decided I would copy it.

I also loved this on too!

 

So I got a small pan and baked a 6 inch cake. I made this yummy filling and got my cake all prepped. I went and bought the tools I would need. I wasn't sure how to go about this. I colored my frosting and just started working. Well actually in between taking care of my child, cooking dinner, eating dinner, getting Faith a bath. And than later I got back to work. 

It's not what I wanted but a good attempt. My younger sister Andrea gave me so great tips to fix my mistakes.( make my own frosting, start rosettes in the center and work out) This is fun. I all of a sudden have an interest in cake decorating.

Project 2

So I am on this painting kick. I went and got another frame. I painted this one for our wedding pic.

This is going to go in the living room. I am excited to get it up on the wall.

3-24-14 added project complete(on the wall)

Projects

I started working on a project from a girls night in February that I hadn't finished. I have a really hard time finishing anything in general. I was determined I would finish this. I love to decorate and I love crafts(art kinds). I started painting these frames I got at micheals craft store(oh ya love 40% coupon and that I can pull it up on my phone and show to get the discount). I had ordered the 8x10 pics from Costco from before Christmas. I new I wanted to put them in Faith room. I primed, painted and than used modpodge over the frame to seal it. I love it! 

Now I still have to get the brackets on the back and than put it on the wall. Hopefully I have it done in the next couple of days. 

So I am finally almost done decorating Faith room. Crazy... Her birthday is next week!

Frozen

On Saturday we went and saw Frozen. It was Faith first movie. I had the day off, which was really nice. It was a nice day spending time as a family. We first went to my niece basketball game(she is in middle school) and than later the movies. Faith did really well during the movie. She  just rotated between mommy and daddy.  I really liked the movie. 

First swing ride

Yesterday was almost 60 degrees out. We love the beautiful weather. I took Faith to the park down the street in the afternoon. She went on the swing for the first time. She wasn't sure at first but really like it after a bit. 

We ran into some people from the other ward in our stake and stayed and chated for a bit till I needed to get home. I can't wait for the next time it is warm for all 3 of us to go, mommy, daddy and Faith to the park. 

It's a raining day today. We know the moisture is really good (very much needed) but the sunshine really lifts my spirits.
