Baby Naylor #1

I think i take after my father when it comes to getting so excited I can hardly stand to keep a secret! Surprisingly i have kept it off the internet until now, but anyone that has even made eye contact with me in the last 2 months knows! We are both really excited! Jer is of course hoping for a little boy......probably because he knows if we have a girl he will be wrapped around her little finger! P.S. pregnancy sickness is wonderful...........upside jer totally spoils me!

Mexican Fiesta @ Home

Mom made a mexican fiesta today at home! It smells amazing and she is getting mad at anyone who touches the food before its done.......how rude! She knew she could lure me to her house with mexican food! Mom's not gonna be happy when she sees that aaron sneaked a taste and then me, then kelso. She says we are being mean for not helping her. I was helping by testing the food!

They're Engaged!

I'm really glad that i was able to go take some pictures of these two! Its really easy to take pictures of such an attractive and in-love couple. We didnt even have to tell them to kiss.....dal just went for it! I can't believe carissa is all grown up and getting married, and to a great man! Im so proud of her....love you Carissa!

Jer and his buds!

This is not an uncommon site in my household! I really dont know how you can sleep like that! Like pet, like owner!

Hawaii!

Ok so we finally went on a real vacation together! I have been able to go on several vacations but poor jer is alway working! Katherine and Brad had the idea to go to Hawaii 5 months ago when they saw plane tickets for super cheap so we figured we might as well go now while we still can! Thanks guys for the push in that direction! Here are just a few pictures.......

A Berry Bad Idea
Starbucks' Strawberries & Creme Frappuccino Blended Creme not only uses the word "creme" too many times in its name, but it also has too many calories and fat grams. One might think, "how bad can strawberries, milk, ice and whipped cream be?" Uhhh, try 410 calories and 11 grams of fat bad. And that's for the smallest size! Yikes. The bottom line is, there is absolutely no reason to partake in one of these fat-filled strawberry shakes, especially since our version of the blended beverage won, HANDS DOWN, in a side by side taste test. Men, women, children (and even some small animals) preferred our 119-calorie, 1g-of-fat "Strawberry Cloud" over The Bucks' calorie-infested pink frap. So ditch Starbucks' strawberry screw-up and try a Strawberry Cloud instead. This recipe will rock your frozen drink-loving world.

I had to choose one because i was getting addicted to starbucks! So I found a substitute and it is absolutely amazing! Try it!

Challenge Accepted!

I spent a lot of time with Kat this weekend and we were trying to come up with crafts to make. Somehow we got into looking at these kinds of pictures that spell out your name and you can customize them online. I said i could do it and Kat said she would rather just buy it, so i took that as a challenge.......and i did it. You would never guess that all these things are somewhere at my house!

The Latest Room Makeover!

Before


After

Ok so the first picture is really sad im glad i fixed the room up because it is kind of embarrassing. Well my wonderful mother went through a lot trying to keep me on task while doing this large project. Thanks so much to her for her help....she pretty much painted the whole thing. I dont have a very large attention span.....
