September

It has been a very busy month for us Bakers. My birthday always spills over to September (I encourage this of course) so we started off the month with me turning 22* and little Miss Sprinkles had her 1st birthday as well. I did make her a cookie cake (spoiled much). Tim and I each picked out a gift for her and she loves them both!

We celebrated our nephew Kallahan's 3rd birthday, sweet Bentley's 2nd birthday, my SIL  and BIL's bdays are also in September, it's a packed month! 

Tim and I went to Kansas so I got to help celebrate his cousins bridal and lingerie shower and he had brother/farm time. How gorgeous is Miss Shalie! Her day will be here so soon, I miss my wedding days so I am living vicariously through her. 

We had such a great time with his brother and SIL. Kelley and I had fun decorating for the shower and hanging out. Her house always inspires me to get in gear with the decorating for seasons. I already had some fall decor but I am lacking. Check hers out here. 

Sprinkles has never been sick until this week. Keep in mind I have never had a pet until now and not knowing what to do for her was scary. But she loved the part if chicken and rice instead of her food. She is back to her spunky self, even well enough to read a little.

This weekend we walked for my mom in the race for the cure, it was fun to have everyone together and be a part of it.

I was flying solo, Tim was back in Kansas for a family members auction so Sprinkles and I had a girls weekend in which i baked some super yummy pumpkin cheesecake bread. Yes I did bring some for snack today, and look at that swirl, YUMM!

I am starting the planning for my sisters baby shower, step 1 invitations! Hope everyone's Monday was wonderful!

My Birthday Weekend!!

It's always nice to have a birthday and a long weekend meet. I had a sweet mom at school bring me a goodie of treats to start my Friday off right. Since it was my first week back at school I took full advantage of not doing anything when I came home. When Tim got home he said he had my birthday gift ready, it was the purse I've wanted since the honeymoon, yeah!!! He did so good on this gift, even though I said 38 times that we just did the floors so I am happy with no gift, glad he didn't listen.

We went to Crush for a yummy brunch and Tim wanted to do some antiquing. I was not a fan of this, the stores smelt of something not good. It's not for everyone, that's all I will say.

We went to dinner with my SIL and her family and Granny to Kabuki, always great food. They were very sneaky and told the waitress it was my birthday and they brought me a brownie and ice cream. On Sunday we went to church and my friend Danielle who was recently diagnosed with MS was there to dedicate baby Reid, she is doing wonderful at walking. God is great, just looking at her and all that has happened it is very evident. I snagged a pic with the girlys from my old school. Miss them dearly.

We had a cook out with Tim's family, they always cook amazing food. Tiffany gave me this great crock-pot cook book, say that 3 times fast, it has so many ideas. Her and I like to do a meal that we can all eat off of together, its nice to have some family time throughout the week, especially during the busy school year so I know this will get her family over.

Tim played some Labor Day golf and I was on Sprinkles duty, we worked out and went for a walk (she loves walks), and I started a water challenge. The goal is to drink 64oz of water a day, I usually do drink water throughout my day  but I am really going to push my self to limit the soda and get more water. 

I have found a new hair product which I love, my hairdresser uses it on me and I decided it's time to invest. 

Bed head, small talk, it smooths out your fro and many other things. It smells super yummy and it's on sale now for 9.99 at Ulta. Check it out!! 

We went to Target for random things and we found this cute little referee shirt for Sprinkles and she's not a huge fan, it has the same effect as the puffy vest, calming. She was awkwardly laying like a baby on Tim. But she really is the sweetest when she is wearing clothes. 

Over all it was a great relaxing weekend of friends and family, now to start another!
