moment of insanity

So in a moment of insanity that lasted several hours, I contemplated doing something that I swore to never do: cloth diaper. I don't know what came over me... maybe it was seeing how cute some of those bumgenius diapers are with all their lovely colors, but I actually thought about it and even went online to check them out. Then I realized that those cute diapers would be filled with poop; poop that I would have to wash, and I quickly overcame that moment of pure craziness. To all my cloth diapering friends: keep it up, I don't see how you do it :)

Yes, it's true

I took it twice just to make sure! Our #2 is due on August 4th, Yay!!

baby it's cold outside

Here are some cute pictures of leah playing outside. Some of them are from way back in november. Yeah... I don't know why this is underlined...

Leah loves playing on the slide at our favorite park

Merry Christmas!

We spent this christmas at my parent's house in Gainesville. We opened gifts on christmas morning with Me, Tony, Leah, my mom and dad, Mimi and Ted, beka, and Joel. Zach, Sarah, Micah and Connor came later that afternoon, and Katie and Jered came on the 26th. So, we actually did christmas gifts three different times. Poor Andrew was with the Georgia football team in Shrievport, Louisiana and he missed everything.

On the afternoon of the 26th my mom's entire extended family came to Gainesville for a big Lee family reunion. There were about 40 people in all spread out in different houses in Gainesville, and for 3 days we played games, went to the park, went bowling, and basically had some great family time. I took almost no pictures the entire time... Sorry.

This is probably the uggliest ginger bread house I have ever seen. Tony, Jason Veatch, josh Lyons and I made it. I was primarily watching Leah, though, so I'm not taking credit for much.

Trip to Disney World

A couple of weeks ago Leah and I had the opportunity to spend two days at Disney World with the family that Katie nannie's for. The little girl's name is Anna; she is the sweetest little girl who is in a wheelchair and has other developmental problems. Anna loves everything disney, and being there with her made the trip even more special, because seeing her face light up when she saw the cinderella castle was just priceless. The whole trip was great, and the best part was that we did not have to wait in any lines because of Anna's wheelchair! I would love to go back in a few years when Leah is old enough to remember.

Anna never smiles in any of the pictures, but I promise she loved it.

There were christmas lights everywhere... It was awesome and really put me in the christmas spirit.

This is us at the Animal Kingdom. We went there on the first day.

Leah Loves her Minnie Mouse.

We went on an African Safari at the Animal Kingdom. It was really cool seeing all those wild animals up close.

How cool is this picture??

I am terrified of crocodiles, by the way.

Birthday and Halloween

Leah's first halloween was several weeks ago, and she was the cutest bumblebee ever! I chose this outfit because she loves singing the "bumblebee song" and gets very excited if I mention the word "bumblebee". We live in an awesome trick-or-treating neighborhood, and we went to several houses in our cul de sac to rack up on candy. Just kidding, we really didn't get much candy, and what we got, I ate. Anyways, it was fun.

This picture here was taken at the end of the night, and she was beyond exhausted. Oh, how sweet!

We celebrated Leah's 1st birthday on sunday the 25th. We chose this weekend mainly because it was a Georgia bi week. Yes, this was actually part of the reasoning, but Andrew couldn't come anyways, so it did not actually matter. Tony's parents, my parents, Zach and Sarah, Katie and Jered all came up for the "big celebration." I always said I would not do a big thing for her 1st birthday, but it was a good opportunity for everyone to come and see our new house. And, I got the chance to make this rainbow cake!

I'm not gonna lie, this cake was the highlight of the party for me. I was so proud of it. It was actually pretty easy to make, too. If you notice, the cake is scientifically accurate, except that i left out the indigo in the "ROYGBIV" anagram. I mean, what the heck is indigo?

The outside is not so nice. I am not a cake decorator.

Leah and aunt Katie! I know Katie misses keeping Leah overnight!

I didn't take many pictures with my camera, because Zach was there taking pictures with his, and so were mine and Tony's parents. They have way more pictures than I do.
