Company Winter Party

Nick had his company work party on Saturday night. Last year it was scheduled in December and we had an ice storm so it was re-scheduled for January. I guess they liked it in January so much they decided to have it in January again this year. Anyways, here are some pictures from the party.

They had Tulsa Party Pics there so Nick and I braved it up and got in the photo booth. It looks quite different from the one we took when we were 16!

My mom came to visit this weekend. Austin loves his mimi. He practically wanted nothing to do with me when she was here. I am here she needs a break now.

April and Nick Needs.....

This is a fun activity my friend Kayla did on her blog. I thought it would be fun to adapt for my blog. What you do is type [your name] needs (i.e. April needs) and do a Google search, then type in the top 10 phrases. Here's mine:

1. April needs a pancreas transplant.....this is scary!

2. April needs our help. This is true. I could use a personal assistant, cook, maid, and trainer.

3. April needs to stay....all I got out this one was maybe that I needed to stay at a really nice resort and get pampered?

4. April needs to be kissed....doesn't say by whom but one from Nick and Austin is always nice.

5. April needs your vote...hmmm not sure on this one.

6. April needs to be IP banned.....what????

7. April needs 1 million dollars.....all I can say is heck yeah!

8. April needs to bounce

9. A few days in the big barn is all April needs in order to start to feel like she belongs with the older cows....this is not my fav!

10. April needs Jen....my best friend is Jenn

Jardine Cribs Recalled.....GRRR

What a pain to find out that your baby crib, which was bought 3 years ago, has been recalled. Austin slept in that crib for 2 years! My mom had told me about a recall at Babies R Us and being the awesome mom that I am, I completely forgot about our conversation until I received an e-mail saying........Entrapment and Strangulation Hazard, Wooden crib slats can break, creating a gap, which can pose an entrapment and strangulation hazard to infants and toddlers!!!

With a new baby on the way I definitely need to get a new crib. Jardine is issuing vouchers for the full retail price....$362 to buy a new crib. So all in all baby girl will get a brand new crib that hasn't been chewed on by her big brother and won't cause strangulation/entrapment. But you guys know how anal I am with wanting all her furniture to match. The changing table and end table will NOT match but I guess I just have to say oh well at least my kid is safe until the next recall.

Snot Your Average Wipe....Boogie Wipes

As most of you know, I am sucker when it comes to cool products for Austin that AREN'T a necessity. I found Boogie Wipes on a friends blog and just had to have them. You can buy them at Wal-Mart, Babies R Us or Toys R Us in Oklahoma. I favor the grape scent over the fresh scent. Austin even loves using them and has to smell them every time he uses one. If you go to their site you can get a $1 off coupon. Here are some cool facts about the wipes....I know I sound like a sales ad but the majority of my blog readers are parents....

Made with Natural Saline
Hypoallergenic
Alcohol Free
Moisturize with Vitamin E, Aloe and Chamomile
Lightly Scented
Gentle Enough for All Ages
Phthalate & Paraben Free

Baby bedding

As some of you know, I have had the hardest time picking out baby bedding for baby girl to be. I am not sure why I had such a hard time deciding except that there were several that I liked. Oh and of coarse Nick wanted whatever was cheapest!

In all decisions of my life I seem to make the simplest of decisions turn into what seems like huge life decisions. Today I finally ordered her bedding! I was so relieved after finally making my big girl decision....only after asking everyone elses opinion :) Anyways, here is a picture of what her room will resemble.
