Getting Ready for St. Patty's Day

I LOVE St. Patrick's Day!! I don't know why...maybe it is because everyone is wearing green and themed...or because it signals the beginning of spring....or because of GREEN BEER! Any whoooo....I started getting ready for it today. I decided to 'dress up' some strawberries for the occasion. By melting some white chocolate and dying it green....

...adding a little bit of vegetable oil to the chocolate..

I dipped each strawberry in a light green chocolate first.

Once that cooled, I dipped them again in a darker green and added buttons and my version of a bow tie.

These strawberries are all dressed up with no where to go!

Mmmm...can you say, PARTY IN YOUR MOUTH!!!

Regional Finals and March Madness

Have you ever had a themed weekend? I mean, like on Monday when you look back at your weekend and every day has a common theme to it? I definitely had one of those weekends and the theme was: BASKETBALL!

Saturday started our themed weekend bright and early with the first round of Regional basketball games. Curt and his Lancers won the first game in overtime. However, they weren't as successful in the the Regional Finals and got second place. They ended with the best season in school's history since 1973 with a record of and a Sectional victory. I'm so proud of Curt and all of his hard work. I'm sad that basketball season has came to an end, but thrilled to have my husband home!

Sunday officially kicked off:

with Selection Sunday. As soon as "The Selection Show" was over, I got my brackets filled out! I filled out two brackets for fun and had two different NCAA National Basketball Champions....which I'll let you know at a later time! Have you filled out your brackets yet? Who is your prediction to win the tournament?

I realize that if you aren't from Indiana, basketball may not be as big for you. It seems like for my family, March Madness is just as big as Christmas! Maybe that is because the

is held only 20 minutes from my house. All I can say is that from now until April 5th, its all basketball, all the time!

Baby Shower!

Last Saturday, before WE WON SECTIONAL!!!!...my girlfriend had her baby shower for her first child. She is having a baby boy coming in a couple of months. I couldn't be more excited for her! (Yes, I got my hair 'chopped' off and highlighted...it feels so much better!)

I usually give a themed gift of bath supplies, but I decided to instead to a diaper bag themed gift. I had this adorable diaper bag made her for and filled it, or over filled it...whatever...with everything that I could think of that she would need for it. A case of diapers, wipes, bottles, nipples, clothes, butt paste, destin, pacifiers, changing pad, more clothes, lotion, hooter hider, etc.

I can NOT wait to meet the new baby boy!!!

Good Luck Lancers!!

We're headed for Regionals tomorrow....

Good Luck Lancers and Coach Chase!

Diva in the House

A couple of weeks ago, Baby C had her first official photo shoot....meaning, someone other than myself took pictures of her! In true Diva fashion, she didn't allow us to get many photos, but they ones we did get were adorable!
