R & R

Dave and I had such a nice relaxing weekend, we went to Newport and stayed up there for an evening. For being there less then 24 hours its hard to get in all the jacuzzi time! We were right on the ocean with a fireplace, mini kitchen..... weather wasn't all that bad but could have been better on Sunday as we were leaving. I had my fair share of the complimentary champagne, man... talk about headache. Dave was waiting on me hand and foot and now he wants to go somewhere for a week so we can really enjoy ourselves. Hello!!??!!?? are we thinking that would be a honeymoon?!?!? maybe......

Baby Noah

Baby Noah Cole Baze born 2/26 at 2:59pm weighing in at a whopping 9lbs 5.2oz with a 14" head! He is such a handsome little guy! Now Uncle Dave is practically glowing! I have pictures from right after he was born but now that his noggin has returned to the normal shape I will post the better of the pictures. I did get to finally hold him today and now the baby fever is really kicking in! Ahh!!

Off to Riverbend tomorrow to be with Casey and Lauren while they induce her. I hope Baby comes tomorrow while we're there, I'm so excited. Then Dave and I are off to our weekend in Newport, hopefully we'll be able to see the octupus feeding at the Hatfield Marine Center, they are such a strange sea creature!

I found this picture of my Brandy when she was a puppy, she looks terified doesn't she. lol. poor thing. I think she was only a month old, and now she's turned into my little "flying squirrel", which Meagan started calling her. :) Which fits her SO well, that's usually what she looks like when she jumps off the arm of the couch!!

This weekend went so nicely, hope everyone enjoyed their Valentine's day with their significant other! Dave and I made and ate tacos in front of a rose and candles then we went on a double date Saturday morning with our neighbors to the Sugar Shack in Reedsport for some donuts. mmmmm..... i know what you're thinking, Missy doesn't like donuts! very true, i know, i'm crazy but they are just too dang rich for me so I had a cinnamon roll. Dave insisted on getting a HUGE to-go box of donuts. He ate all of his throughout the day, talk about a stomach ache! :) When we got home we went out to Neptune State Park off 101, we've always wanted to stop there and walk around but the shore was up so high we were stuck walking on rocks the whole time, I about fell flat on my face! We did take Ty though, he had a blast especially without his leash. Went home and took a nap and made dinner. We hung out outside yesterday, it was so beautiful, cleaned up the front yard FINALLY and had a BBQ with the neighbors, nummy steaks!

Checking in

Just checking in.... I survived the dentist appts, hurt like a son of a gun but at least it's over. No more work to be done until next year when they decide to pull out my wisdom teeth. I'm just ecstatic over it, really. NOT. Things are going well, Valentines is Saturday and I'm really not too upset we're not doing anything. I think Dave and I will be going to the beach to look for shells with the dogs, of course after we just cleaned all of them. Oh well, life of a dog. :) Tuesday is our anniversary of 5 years though so we'll probably go to Traveler's for dinner, it's "our" place. I've got something up my sleeve though for the 28th in Newport and of course he doesn't know yet. He's not one for romantic planning so I don't mind taking over, at least that way I know it'll be well worth it.
Our good friend Casey and his girlfriend Lauren are having a baby and should be going into labor within the next week or two. The baby party was nice, right on the lake.... all the guys were bummed because they didn't bring their poles. Silly boys. There was yet again another diaper cake at this shower as well but once again I went over the top so of course mine was better! Almost crash and burned though when a little person tried to carry it to Lauren during present time. They really like it though so that makes it all worth it. So at this point I have no pending diaper cakes so if you know anyone who is interested, let me know!

Second and Last for the YEAR!!

Today is my last appt for the dang dentist, finally. I have to get the other side of my mouth deep cleaned, yuck. Wish me luck.

No more counting sheep!

Slept on my own brand new mattress last night and let me tell you, WELL worth the money. Not sure how it treated Dave's back but I slept like a log. We (mostly myself) cleaned and rearranged our room, not to mention cleaning off the drool streaks off the walls.... GROSS!!! Why is that I end up having to clean up all the nasty stuff, including the worlds largest turds in the yard? Guess I'd rather do that than not have them at all, right? So now none of the animals besides the cat can even get on the bed which is a very good thing, a full sized pit bull stepping on your full bladder or foot isn't the best way for a wake up call.

I hate dentist appts!!! Yesterday I had that deep root cleaning, whoever thought that was necessary should be admitted. It was torture! Granted I took some happy pills before hand but dont think that they actually did any good, especially when you get three injections just for the upper teeth and then another three because the first ones didn't numb you all the way. And so many people say that the grinding and scraping is the worst part, but you know, the shots are the zinger. Now I have to go through another two hour appt just to get the other side done! Ugh!

I have finally finished the last two cakes for the time being at least. They turned out better than expected too, I purchased some very animated looking rubber duckies, even a monkey one for the jungle cake. Aren't they cute? Sorry the color is darker than the first one, I took this at night.

Second Try

The idea came from googling for something out of the ordinary for a baby shower for my sister in CA and came upon some "diaper cakes", I had no where to start but with the examples I've seen so the first one that I made was of froggies. It didn't turn out that bad actually for my first but I don't think I'm going to post it just because it needed a little more work. This one on the other hand was a HIT at the baby shower. Pink and brown together is so adorable.
