Becca's gender reveal party, Valentines day, and of course my kittens.

So I told Becca I would post these pictures on Tuesday, but here it is Thursday and I am just getting around to it. I worked Monday through Wednesday, have today off, then work Friday through Monday, so today is my day for chilling with my love, cleaning house, watching tv, and blogging!

On Sunday was Becca's gender reveal party. I loved all the colors and decorations, they looked awesome all over Amber's house! The food was delicious, I ate way too much, but at least it was fruit and veggies that I ate!

Becca said the bunting is going to go in the baby's and Shea's room and I can't wait to see how it all comes together!!


Adorable cupcakes, awesome decorations, scrabble tiles mixed of the baby's name. It all was awesome.

I sent this iphone collage to my mom during the party and she thought it was adorable! Like mother like daughter. :) And of course it doesn't hurt that Becca and I have nearly the exact same taste! Love it.

Shea was absolutely adorable eating his cupcake. Becca's dad was on the other side of the table taking a bunch of pictures as well and all Shea cared about was eating the entire cupcake. Adorable.

Here is a little video of him:



When the party was winding down Joe put on Toy Story and all the kiddos came one by one into the family room. Oh how sweet it was to see Joe on the couch with 7 children! :)

On Monday Paul and I drove down to Cabela's to sell one of his guns. We stopped at Krispy Kreme on the way down and got free donuts with coupons I had got last time I was there with Gabe. Oh how yummy those donuts were. Pure heaven in my mouth. I sat in the chair at Cabelas (after Paul sold the gun to some dude) while Paul walked around. That chair was super comfy!

This was my valentines day. Paul and I said we weren't going to get presents for each other because we did that mini vacay, but then I ended up making him a card, getting him Sweethearts, and made him some cookies. I bought myself a coffee at starbucks after working out with a giftcard my mom had gotten us, and looked at my phone to see this awesomely cute picture Paul had sent me. Then the next day Paul worked a half day so we got to see each other for a few hours before I went to work. He brought me home that adorable mug (Hancook China-my fav) and I came home after work to an awesome note on my side table. I sure do love that man. He knows me so so so well!

Eric found a super comfy nook between his mom and dad today while we were watching TV. The picture of us snuggling was from the other day, this cat is seriously the most cuddly cat I have ever met ever. Eleanor just likes to help me eat my breakfast, haha.

Today I got up, did some laundry, picked up the house, emptied trashes and the dishwasher, went swimming, Costco, and Safeway and came home to Paul (who had worked at half day). We hung out and watched Downton Abbey, snuggled with the kitties, and then went to Trader Joes, H-mart (asian grocery store), and the gun store. When we got home I made us caramel macchiatos, then tea, we watched more tv (lazy day ya know!), and then we made pho for dinner. Perfect evening if I do say so myself!

The other day I made beer bread cause it said "five minute beer bread" on pinterest. It was good, kinda tasted like beer, but good. I ended up throwing a few middle slices away because there was a little doughy part. I think I need to make it in a bigger loaf pan next time because it would have been super dry on the ends if I cooked it longer.

The next morning I made baguette bread and it was amazingly good, I never am going to buy any at the store again if I have the time to make this!!


Becca if you want any of the party pictures full size just send me your email address and I will send them over!

Love to all

    1st - thank you for taking/posting pics! I kind of want all of them haha but if that is a pain I understand. Whenever you have time please send them to beccafaith@hotmail.com I love the video of Shea stuffing his face! And that one of amber and me is when I accidently gave away that it was a girl to her - did you hear us talking? haha.

    3rd - WHAT is your pho recipe??? I want to make some at home but am scared to attempt it thinking I"ll just be disappointed. And your baguettes look AMAZING. I must try this recipe.

  3. Yay its a girl! Congratulations Becca! Looks like so much fun. I really wish I could have been there. I love your valentine's day pictures and I am so going to make baguette bread now too! Justin's favorite snack is baguette dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

  4. Becca- I am emailing you the pictures right now so let me know if you don't get them because there is like 32 pictures in the email...and sometimes they don't go through. :) I didn't hear you guys talking at all! Amber told me after we ate the cupcakes that you had accidentally let it slip but I had no idea! :)

    The baguette recipe is super easy and just my style, you only have to wait for one rise ( I let it rise for an hour or more though cause I went swimming).
