UNO with Chico

My kids favorite game is UNO! They started playing it in the kids room at the gym, then we got it for them for Christmas. We literally play like 7 times a day! They are so obsessed with the game that when they are eating and there is one chicken nugget left they yell "UNO"! Today I walked into my room and Carter is playing UNO with his bear, Chico.

Side note: This bear is Carters BFF, my sweet Aunt Judith took the boys to Build A Bear when Carter was first born and made bears with them. Just lately Carter has named this bear Chico, no idea where this name came from, but he loves this bear!

Well off to play UNO, hope Chico does not beat me!!!

Putting my Craft to good use!

Most of you know that I love to sew and make baby gifts in my *spare* time (which by the looks of my Etsy store right now tells you there is not much spare time anymore). Recently someone contacted me about donating one of my diaper caddies for a give away she hosts. I have to be honest I get a lot of people contacting me and wanting me to donate and I usually just ignore it since I have no idea who these people are and if it is legit or not. This was different, something made me actually look into this and read her blog. Lianna and her husband have been trying for a baby for sometime now and had a couple of failed attempts to conceive via IFV and in order to try one more time they have to raise 10,000. I thought about this and about how lucky I really am to have had no problems getting pregnant, staying pregnant, and delivering 2 healthy boys and thought everyone who wants the chance to be parents should get this amazing opportunity. So if donating a diaper caddy meant one day these beautiful people might have the chance to have babies I said "of course I will donate, where do I send it". She has all the give aways listed on her blog as well as her story. I hope you will check it out, send it on to all your blogging buddies and help this couple's dream of being parents come true one day.

Off to Casablanca

Saturday night Brad and I got all dressed up and headed to Casablanca for our second year! Casablanca is a lot closer than you might think, it is actually at the Dell Diamond 3 miles from our house! This saturday was our annual charity gala for my womens club, Chaparral Womens Club. It was so fun, we were so happy that Ken and Cheri went with us this year too! Nana and Papa took the boys over night so we got to SLEEP IN the next morning too! AWESOME! I think we raised a lot of money too! Great news for the charities we support in Williamson County!
