No photos...but what we've been up to

So it's been CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY. but what's changed eh? Seems to be the story of my life!! I'm busy with Noah alllll day long and then once aaron gets home i get a chance to clean a little more and then off too cook dinner,bathe noah,feed him and get him to bed. Once both of my men are in bed usually I have to stay up and fill orders for the store with gobs of bows, and children accessories or doing a cake. Then I get to wake up with little man ALL.NIGHT.LONG....Still!! He still wakes quite a bit :(

I just feel so stinkin drained and like i can NEVER and will never catch up on sleep or rest.

Ok now on to the fun stuff. Thanks for stickin through the depressing first part...great opener huh?


Noah-Well let's talk about my little man..who is seemingly not very little!!! I take him this week to find out exactly how big he is but we are thinking around 18 lbs and very long for his age! I cannot believe I gave birth to such a big little guy!!!! But it runs in the genes..even though aaron and I aren't big my uncles and his dad are all over 6'2"! Noah is now four months old and is wearing size 3 diapers and 6-9 month clothes and starting to outgrow those as well!! I had to pull out some of his summer time polos for him to wear and they are already getting short! He rolled over about 2 weeks ago and mommy couldn't be prouder!!! He loves to sit in the bumbo and try to crawl which right now is him attempting and just scooting across the floor :) he is eating baby food and LOVES it all...No suprise there! He is trying to talk more and more everyday and is getting the most adorable personality, he is happy pretty well all day and smiles like it's nobody's business!!

Baby weight-Ugh...i got sooooo depressed being fat for ten months but now i can say that I am 2 lbs. lighter then when we got married!! Whoo hoo!! and starting to get back into running (also have to do this when the boys are in bed!)and yoga.

Wedding Planner-MADDDY IS FINALLY ENGAGED!! WHoo hooo!! And she asked me to be her wedding planner and i am sooo soo excited it is just so much fun :)

Business-I've been ridiculously busy lately but I can't complain I love what I do :) I have been booked all month and next month has only one week empty then in May I have a HUGE wedding cake and have gotten LOTS of wedding cake orders so that makes me reallllllly excited!!
