Currently I am OBSESSED with the site "Pinterest" - I am finding the coolest DIY ideas for the wedding (November 24, 2012) You can follow me on their site, but I probably will share a lot of my decided details on this blog.

At first, the thought of planning everything was SO overwhelming I did go to bed several nights not sure if I even wanted to have one. But finally things started coming together, and it's actually gotten to the fun part!

For instance, I found these awesome paper flowers that caity, myself and hopefully a few more friends/family I can enlist :) are going to make for the bouquets/decorations:

I also really want to make my own photo booth. The first time I saw one was when my cousin Rachel got married and the pictures turned out SO AWESOME

I'm fairly certain I can figure out a way to do it myself (with the help of the internet!) - the biggest expense of the whole idea seems to be the camera, and luckily I already have that. Now I just need to decide on good lighting and a backdrop. A really cool idea that a lot of photo booth "professionals" use is printing out pictures right after they are taken, so the guests have something to take home with them. An idea I like even better about the printer availability is printing the pictures out to adhere to blank pages of a guest book and the guests can sign near or around their own photos. Keeping my eyes peeled for a good, photo-quality printer!!

These are just two of the many wedding ideas I have swirling around in my head, at what seriously seems to be like ALL TIMES! I am excited to be getting it all done early, though. We are coaching Taylor's softball team over the summer and so far, I'm playing once a week. It's going to be too busy to worry about all of those little details!

Favorite Photos

Now that I'm a "blogger" - I keep thinking of things I want to share!

Here is one of my favorite photos of Cece before bath time:

just testing the water!

Cece's first "real" day in Wisconsin SNOW

I call it the first "real" day because Cece was indeed around last year for a ginormous snowstorm that we had (20 inches, crazy) however, she was just a baby. This year I was lucky enough to remember to document her during her first cautious, then shortly thereafter, hilariously playful steps into the white powdery stuff. It was a wicked cold snowy day, not what I expected (usually when it's the pretty fluffy stuff it's above zero...but not that day!) and I had to go inside after about 20 minutes of pulling Cece around in her sled - MY hands were frozen! She was having a great time and I swear, could not feel the blistering cold. She had even been eating snow off of her little mittens and when we went inside and I checked, her little fingers were still warm! Cece can hang in the Wisconsin Winter - I think we may have a lil' hockey player on our hands (& Rudy's pretty excited about it)!!

 Let's do this Mom!

What the heck is this stuff???

 Ohhh, i'm starting to like it....

It's awesome! And it tastes good too!
