Mario Kart, Wedding Cake and a trip to Omaha

Erich & I celebrated our one year anniversary on Sunday. We had a pretty low-key anniversary weekend, compared to what we planned on. I ruined everything by getting sick on Friday, so our plans to go to Omaha Saturday night for dinner and drinks sort of went out the window. Saturday we spent mostly at home, I went to some garage sales with my mom so Erich could sleep in with Abbey. I got home and we then headed out to use our new Sam's Club membership. I swear the jar of cheese balls followed us everywhere, but never quite made it into the cart. That night we watched Gran Torrino, and then I gave Erich his anniversary present early--Mario Kart. Everywhere we have gone he's wanted to buy it, and I've had to convince him each time not to since I had it hidden at home. So, we stayed up way too late playing that. Sunday we went to York for some church, and picked up our leftover wedding cake from Erich's parents. We had so many compliaments on this cake, and both of us didn't really get any, other than our staged first bites. It was pretty tasty, even if it was a year old and not packaged very well :) We both had Monday off so we slept in a little and then headed to Omaha for a zoo trip. We figured it would be pretty slow since it was free admission all weekend. We we're way off. By 10 it was packed; maybe this is the norm for a Monday morning, but I doubt it. We had a good time nonetheless, the animals were pretty sleepy though. Except for the golden headed tamarin who got up close and personal during a picture; they were jumping behind my head and Erich is just laughing. I'm pretty sure I'm eyeing that little guy in the picture. The rain also held off until we left, which was nice. We then went to NFM to look for lamps--funny thing about our house: no overhead lighting in most of the rooms, so we have come to buy lamps whenever they're a good deal. We found a set of 4 that will work, so we were happy with that. All in all, good times. My sister is in town this week, and then we're watching her kids this coming weekend while her and the BIL are going to MO for a canoeing trip. I get the feeling it will be a Mario Kart and delivery pizza weekend. I was planning on Star City Shores, lets hope the weather cooperates.

Booker's First Birthday

While he didn't get to go to Disneyworld with us, he did get a pretty high flyin' party.  I may have gone a leeetle overboard with the party.  But hey, you only turn once right, and he may be my last :( Our theme was, Time Flies, and we used my Uncle's vintage toy plane for the invites.  Pretty cute kiddo.  It was also pre haircut, so he still looked like a baby. Of course I can't find that picture, so here is this one.  He's still cute.   Just a small party with family, and he had a great time.  He has already changed so much since this day.  He was just starting to make words and now can say Mama, Dada, Harper, Abs, Dude, and a lot of signs.  He also loves to dance, and is seriously the most cuddly sweet boy you will meet.  We love our little Bubba! 

September is here!

Well, it's practically here. Where did August go? Where did the summer weather go? I don't care, it's Fall weather here in Nebraska and I hope it's going to stay well into November. Ahh, September, it's my favorite month...and not just because it's my birthday month 29 on the 9th, it's kind of a golden birthday-9/9/09, so that means extra gifts, right? Right. We are very busy this month. This weekend is the first Husker game of the season, so my mom and I are getting out of dodge to visit my sister (I am displeased to learn that my brother in law is renting the game, I can't escape it!). We're going to a pirate festival, and a carnival, and to this awesome little kitchen store in downtown Independence. So excited for family fun. My nephew told me I can sleep in his bed, but only if I wear underwear...um, deal? Erich has many options that weekend, we have an engagement party in York, going to the game, watching the game...who knows how crazy he'll...

Harper Jay Kant has arrived!

The wait is over! On June 9th, at 5:40 pm, Harper Jay Kant entered the world, weighing 8 pounds, 10 ounces and measuring 20.5 inches long! I am so happy to have her in my arms, as is Erich. During the pregnancy, I made the comment on multiple occasions that I bed I'd pay for it during labor, and boy did I...and so the story goes: Tuesday I began having contractions around noon, but nothing that was progressive or in any order, so we decided to just keep our plan to go in at 7:30 to be induced. I was admitted around 8, and the "ripening" agent was started. I was checked around 12 and had progressed enough to warrant starting the Pitocin (around 1). Contractions began, but I really couldn't feel much; it was a long night and I was too excited to sleep (especially after the nurse commented that with these contractions I could be pushing by 7 that morning...I knew it was too good to be true) so I spent the evening with the Lost crew from Season 2, and waking Erich ...
