This weekend was jammed packed and super fun! My first week at my new job was a success (I am totally loving it!) and I had the weekend off to spend with my loves. Yesterday I had a baby shower cupcake order for an old friend that I have known since middle school. It was so great seeing her, she was so stinkin’ cute as a prego lady. Once I get pictures from her I will post them on my cupcake blog, I totally had my DSLR with me and went to go take pictures and I forgot my SD card. . . boo! After leaving Temecula I made my way back down to RB and met Jim and Payton over at his best friend Marcus’ house for his family’s 7th annual party. We can always count on Marcus for having at least one college/pro basketball player for their tournament they hold, a few years ago Jordan Farmar made an appearance for his old coach. It was really fun to watch Darnell Gant of the Washington Huskies playing ball with the little and big kids this year. We will definitely be watching the 6’8″ Huskies player this year! While Daddy was participating in the festivities of a 3-Point shoot out, dunking, 3 on 3 and two ball; Miss Payton and I were doing what we do best, talking! I met some great people, whom I might add loved my cupcakes and one family gave me the best compliment I have ever been given. They said that they have eaten at all the great cupcake bakeries out there: Magnolia, Susie Cakes, Batter Up! and Sprinkles and out of those bakeries they said mine were the best they have ever had! I was giddy, this is why I keep on baking! I love hearing from the people who indulge into them. I even got a few cards for future orders! Yippee! Besides chatting I was keeping P happy by putting her in her first big girl car. It was so cute watching her figure out what I was doing to her. At first she thought she should be playing with the pedals and once I started pushing her around she had one hand on the wheel and one outside of the car. So cute!
Today we met with a nanny service, college nannies, and soon after the lady left we realized that I would basically be working to pay to have a stranger watch Payton three days a week. So now I am going to call a daycare that a few of Jim’s co-workers send their little ones to. I am totally against daycare (Grandma too), only because I was not a child that attended one. Unfortunately, it is just a decision that we are leaning towards right now. After the lady left we headed to the park to take Payton to swing for a little bit and then headed over to the grass to let her explore for the first time.
Our weekend was great, besides that our child now looks like we have beaten her. I guess it is just a glimpse into our near future as she continues to learn how to walk. She is just growing and exploring so much these days. Where did our little baby go?
Happy Monday! Make it a great week!
I love her little scrunch nose. You may notice a little cut on her right eye. It was self-inflicted by her nails. Today she was cruising and in the dining room she found two cake plates and she knocked one down onto her left eye. Mommy of the Year over here!
Cruisin’ in the car watching the 3-point shoot out.
Sexy Daddy and Cutie Pie
Sitting on the grass for the first time. She kept moving her legs back and forth while digging her piggly wiggly’s into the blades.
Lovin’ the texture
Ohhh! This looks like fun Ma-ma!
Yep! Pretty fun, it breaks off when I pull on it unlike doggy’s tail.
and it tastes pretty good. Thanks ma-ma and da–da!
Your cupcakes are divine! I still dream… er think about those yummy ones you made for Ethan’s birthday party 🙂
And best of luck in the sitter/nanny search. It’s so expensive! That’s why I ended up working two days a week and was blessed to have family watch E those two days.
Glad you are loving your new job! I would love to have a nanny too but the cost is outrageous. We have been totally spoiled with our set up with mostly family watching Madyson, and were so lucky to find a wonderful lady who does day care out of her home…which Madyson loves to go to and even though I never wanted her in day care either, it really has been great for her since she gets to interact with other little kids. Maybe you can look for a home-based day care for P?
p is such a cutie pie!!!
