William turned 18 months today. I can't believe how fast he is growing.

He had his 18 month check up and the Doctor said he is a lean little guy.

He weights 22 lbs and is 33 1/5 inches tall.

He loves to watch Robin Hood, Toy Story and Beauty and the Beast

he falls asleep to Thundercats

He doesn't care too much for Snow White, everything the magic mirror is on the screen he runs away.

oh and he loves red enchiladas, chicken nuggets and spice foods. he is my son alright.

He's had a cold 3 times this winter. not fun for him or us.

the only way he'll eat veggies is if i blend them with a fruit smoothie. 

he sleeps through the night but doesn't nap very well.

He is seriously the happiest little boy. 

he says, oh oh, mama, pa, dad, say cheese,

loves to build things, fix things and stack things.

he loves our phones, camera and to push buttons on T.V.'s

We love him and are so grateful he is part of our family.

Zumba and moccasins. 

no, i don't wear a pair to zumba but William has a cute handmade pair from our dear friend Susan over at Freshly Picked.

Can I just say how much fun i am having at my Zumba class?!!! I have been doing it off and on for a year now and it helps me unwind from a busy day. try it, you'll be hooked.

I am so behind in uploading pictures. next post: my valentine's cake. i never got around to making it for Valentine's day. we were SO busy. So I promised my sweetheart that we would celebrate our own valentine's day before the end of the month. so stay tuned!

Anthropologie is my Disneyland.

For those of you who don't know what Anthropologie is, its defiantly not the study of humans past and present. ( got that definition from wikipedia after googling it).
Anthropologie takes me to  MY happy place.  Kent always makes sure we make a quick stop to the gateway when traveling north. He knows how much I love this store.
I just LOVE walking into the store and dreaming, WISHING and sometimes getting to go home with these.
Last Mothers day I received 6 of these cute bowls. and I need/want MORE.
I also want this so bad but I would never feel good about spending that much on something i can find at a  Thrift Store.

Since we cannot afford all that this store has to offer, I will make due with this inexpensive craft projects I found the other day here.

Last night Kent and I painted monogram letters and they turned out so cute! I went ahead and painted one for Will too. I'll post on his later.

here are some pictures of our masterpiece!

by the way, $7 is all I spent for all the supplies.

better then spending $98...
