Here's William's Favorite Place...

He LOVES to be on our bed! He would spend the day on my bed, I think. This morning he cozied up with some books while I got ready for the day. Finally it was time to get him ready, and he didn't want to get off the bed!

Easter Basket Cupcakes

I recently found this blog (thanks to my online mothers' group), and this woman does these really cute creations with cupcakes and "cake pops". Tonight I decided to make Easter basket cupcakes, so here they are...

Random Pictures...

Since we've lived here, I don't think I have taken any pictures of William's bedroom. It won't be long before he goes into a "big boy bed", so I thought I should take a few pictures. I painted the "WILLIAM" letters. I thought that was pretty good for someone who isn't too creative! My mom made his bedding. I love it! It's very neutral, maybe even a bit girly, but I fell in love with the material long before William was born.





We turned our loft into William's playroom. I bought the shelves and bins from IKEA. I love them! The bins slide out which is really nice.

What are we doing right now?

If you take a look at the pictures below, this is what we are doing right now. I just took these pictures a couple minutes ago and uploaded (it's a miracle I uploaded pictures on the same day I took them!). William has gotten into the habit of napping in my bed (and secretly I love it!). He sleeps so hard that being on the computer right next to him in bed or walking around doesn't bother him. Sometimes I take a nap too! I think I love it just as much as he does-if not more!

William's Favorite Toys

Here are some of William's favorite toys...


Handy Manny and his truck-which turns into a work bench.


Handy Manny


John Deere tractor from Papa and Uma (Grandpa and Grandma)


Anything Bob the Builder...unfortunately Bob is no longer sold in the stores, so I've become creative at buying Bob the Builder toys from Amazon, Ebay, and Craigslist.

Oh, The Things He Will Eat...

I would consider William to be a pretty picky eater. If he likes something, he will eat a ton of it. When it comes to foods that look "strange" he will not even try it...except...my avocado, corn, and black bean dip. I had made this dip to take to a friend's house, and he sat on the counter and watched me/helped me make it. Then he sat there and ate a ton of it! I was starting to wonder if there would be any leftover to take to the get together! Next time I want him to eat his veggies, I need to make this dip!

E comes over to visit!

My girlfriend, her husband, and their son came over the other weekend to play and build shelves in the garage. We had a fabulous time! It was so fun to hang out with you, E!
