Favorite Things

These are a FEW of MY favorite things

#1 Pintrest

Those of you who have not discovered this little gem I HIGHLY recommend it! Although I will warn you, it is VERY addictive!!!

#2 Decor & DIY/Craft blogs

I love logging on everyday to see all my favorite bloggers and what creative and crafty things they have done with their homes! It's an excellent resource when you have a decor block or need a new baby shower gift idea.  Here are just a handful of my favorites:

There are also a few on my side bar (although I should probably update that...)

#3 Days of Christmas candle from Gold Canyon

All I have to say is YUM! It really is not Christmas time at my house without a Days of Christmas candle from Gold Canyon.

#4 Goodwill and Craigslist

I don't think this needs much explanation. In my house it would be easier to point out the items that did NOT come from one of these two places! It still amazes me the things people will donate! But I'm not complaining!

#5 Pictures
I think I just love photography in general. My thought is that you'll never be able to go back in time to capture that moment. I just wish I was better at it. But that's what classes are for and it is on my list of things to do in 2012!

25th Anual APS Light Parade

The 25th Annual APS Light Parade was this weekend and some how I talked Nick into going.  We were not able to go last year because Nick was on a plane getting Landon.

The parade doesn't start until the evening when the sun goes down but everyone always gets there early to get a good spot. The kids play in the street when it closes, we eat pizza, and just spend good times with friends!

This year the Kammeyers joined us!

It was FREEZING!!!!! I believe it was in the low 40s!

But we stayed. And the parade started!

We busted out the hot chocolate (and mini candy cane for me!) took our seats and watched.

I love the train!

And then it started to rain.

And rained some more. Cold. rain. Yeah, we were out of there!

We all left! So the parade was a bust!

Let's hope next year is better and warmer!

Sophia Birthday

This weekend was Sophia's 2nd birthday! I can't believe how fast they grow up! 

Sophia's mom (Mindy) rented a bounce house and all the kiddos had a BLAST!! (again Landon was in Missouri and missed out on the fun! -it's a good thing he has his very own bounce house)

There was even a ball pit for the little kids!

Delaney Kammeyer

There was birthday cake!

And PRESENTS!!

It was good times even for the adults!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOPHIA!!

Let's give THANKS

This year has been quite a ride in the Heuer house. Here is a little recap from 2011 (so far):

**click on the picture caption for the blog post**

Nick and I found THE house we want to duplicate

Scott FINALLY officially joined the family

I graduated and finished college

Nick & I survived the first year of marriage

Landon had his very first soccer lessons

New family members were born

We took our first family vacation

Landon turned 5 years old

Landon found out he is going to be a BIG brother!!!

We lost loved ones

Nick got a new car

All of these things made for a ver memorable and exciting year. I am thankful for so many things but my top two would have to be:

Modern science and the doctors that helped Nick & I get pregnant.

&

My patient, caring husband that has put up with me during my hormonal and emotional roller coasters. Between infertility drugs and pregnancy hormones, Nick might be eligible for sainthood!!

Happy Thanksgiving!! 

Showered with LOVE

This weekend Nick and I went to a co-ed baby shower for baby Kammeyer

Proud to-be-parents

Rob & Josalyn

They rented a  bounce house for the kiddos!

Too bad Landon was back in Missouri, he LOVES bounce houses! 

I saw this quilt on a blog and just HAD to try it. I think it came out pretty good for my first ever quilt!

It looks a lot harder than it is. 

Josalyn received some pretty cool stuff all around.

And of course the bestie picture! 

Jaymi, Josalyn, Me

We were missing Mindy, her daughter was sick and was not able to make the shower.

Breaking Dawn Premier

Ok. so last year I raved about Eclipse and how good it was. Well, Breaking Dawn was WAAAAAYYY better!  I'm so glad that these movies get better as they go!

Last year we watched Twilight, New Moon AND Eclipse! Not this year (thank goodness)!  Nope, this year we only did Eclipse and the Breaking Dawn Premier. Being almost 5 months (19weeks) pregnant sitting for that long is NOT comfortable!

The usual gang of girls came along, however I forgot my camera ={ Janie got the theatre early for us to make sure we had a good seat (you're the BEST!) and later the rest of us showed up. And by rest of us I mean, Me, Jaymi, Jamie, Nona, Lori, Lindsey, Lauren, Brooke (who is 8 months pregnant by the way! kudos to her!), and some new blood Jennifer (Jaymi's friend) and for a little spice a guy!

We again had a GREAT time! And I can't WAIT for the final movie!!

Again I highly recommend reading this series of books! I know vampires are the new hot thing right now and Robert Pattinson is my least favorite choice for Edward but they really are good books. All the movies pale in comparison.

A bit of randomness...

Ever feel like there is never enough time in the day/week/month/year?! 

Each day (sometimes week) I make a list of things I would like to get done.  This list NEVER gets compelted, EVER.  Work or home there always seems to be more to do than time to do it in. My theory at work is "There is always tomorrow".  But at home that theory is not comforting. What doesn't get done today just seems to build on the next day's To Do list.

**Sigh**

All we can do is the best we can...
