On the night you were born...

Well, Anias cried for nearly 5 hours straight this morning and I have a 4 day long headache (allergies?) so  this is going to be a short one! I finished up Anias' projects a few weeks ago, but forgot to post pictures so here they are. We did the same for Eli, so it's nice to keep it going.
I made these modge podge collages from the daily newspaper on their birthdate and they both have quotes from this book, which ironically we don't own.

 I had my 6 week follow-up and am down 20 lbs, but I'm hoping to get some of that other 30 off soon. Getting a little break at the Y will be nice too.

Anias: Week 5

 I only woke up once at night twice this week! I'm starting to outgrow 3 month clothing, especially those pants with the feet. My feet are just too big. I accidentally rolled over on the couch this week, but mom doesn't count it because of the big dip she made on the couch cushion while she was pregnant. I'm still a smiley and happy boy, even though my tummy gives me some trouble. I adore my daddy! He always gets the most smiles out of me, but when I cry I definitely need mom.

Anias: Week 6

 My hair is getting to be a lighter! It's more brown than black now. I'm super super smiley in the morning. I was so glad that my cousin, Kamiree, and my Aunt Shiree came to visit me this week.  Shiree is the best and bouncing me around until I pass out. She carries me around like a football, and I absolutely love it. We tried to go to my first pumpkin patch, but after mom drove all the way to Portland, we found out it was closed! Mom and dad got our first official family pictures and I looked absolutely adorable! Thanks grandma for the cute outfit!

Eli

 I like to pretend that the bath is Adventure Bay, where there are constant oil leaks and Zuma has to save the day. I call Anias my "little friend" and I like to hold his hand and be nice to him. When we're praying at night, I tell God what I'm thankful for, including my name and our house. One day I was doing yoga on the rug in the living room and mom asked what I was doing. She said, "Are you doing  yoga?" and I said, "No, I doing rug." One day when I was supposed to be asleep and mom was out with aunt Shiree, dad found me with the iPad in their bed. I said, "What? I watching the iPad." I have no idea why I was in trouble. I like to bring my wallet along to car rides and "pay" with my credit cards. This ensures I get whatever snack I want. I tell mom, "Jesus made my owie feel better." I love playing hide and seek with Kamiree and I'm going to miss her SO much!

Dog Days of Summer

Well, my acrylic stamps didn't happen to work out on the cookies, but I found a purpose for them. I was practicing dipping Oreos in white chocolate when I got the bright idea to stamp them. I tried a few different methods, but my husband had the winning idea. Take a look. My methods- leaving the stamps in the white chocolate while it dried, using a greased stamp (gross, don’t do it), and using a stamp on nearly hardened white chocolate The winning method (eh hem- Josh’s method), putting the stamp in the white chocolate then freezing the cookie That man is a genius! I think they turned out super cute. I can’t wait to use this for a party. I’m kind of a sucker for my dogs so I was actually thinking about hosting a dog’s day out. If not, then I’ll probably keep this in my back pocket for Optimus’ birthday. Like I said- I’m a sucker for my dogs.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

First of all….Can you name the seven dwarfs? Just try it. Kills me every time.Okay moving on. Of course today’s party I’m working on a Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs themed party. I think I would start by setting up a little “forest” for the kids to walk through on the way in- complete with either stuffed or cardboard cut-out animal bunnies, chipmunks and deer. Little birds (most likely paper) would be hanging from the door frame. I’d be going for this kind of feeling (but with the princess not so sad let’s hope!) I would love to have a dress up station with a nod to “Mirror Mirror on the Wall”. Maybe something like this but more down to earth like this . Of course there would need to be apples galore. Candied apples? Carmel apples with a carmel apple decorating station? Rice crispy treat apples ? Donut hole mini apples ? Oh the options. (I also looove the Snow White cut-out in the mirror- adorable). Some sort of poison potion (with dry ice) would be super cute too. Maybe...

The Daniel Fast

When Josh and I moved back to Bellevue this summer we joined a new church, Zeal, which we really love. We've felt more challenged there to really engage, and twice a year the church as a whole focuses on 21 Days of Prayer. In January we fast during the 21 days, andre encouraged to give up something we feel hinders our focus (Instagram, sweets, etc.) We chose to do the Daniel Fast. The Daniel Fast is based on the following verses... “Test your servants for ten days; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink." Daniel 1:12   In those days, I, Daniel, had been mourning for three entire weeks. I ate no delicacies, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, for the full three weeks" Daniel 10: 2-3 So basically, we've been eating a vegan, gluten-free, no sugar or sweetener-added foods for the past 11 days. We don't have fried foods either as they're 'rich', but we do have whole grains. We drink 100% juice and wat...
