Mason's 1st Birthday Party!!!

We threw a little party for Mason for his first birthday! And of course it had to be Sesame Street themed because he loves Sesame Street. It was a great time, Mason loved every second of it!






The food was so good! Yia Yia made my favorite Spanakopita.

The cake pops turned out great. The toppings included oreos, 4 different sprinkles, heath bar, reese's peanut butter cup, and M&M's...Behind that are cookie monster's chocolate chip cookies, and dorothy's goldfish next to that.

Here's Spinach Artichoke dip with tortilla chips.

On this table there's salad, pinwheel sandwiches, fruit kabobs and potato salad.

Drinks were lemonade, green tea and water.

The dogs were tortured by all the food, but don't feel bad for them, they got their share..



I think Michael likes the cookies! :)


Michael grilled up these Venison Bacon Bites. These are seriously SO yummy!







Time to open presents! Grandma got him a swing for outside!





Showing off his walking skills for everyone!


Mason got a Cozy Coupe from Aunt Laura, Uncle Bob, Sarah & Liz!

Here's Mason playing with the BBQ grill mommy and daddy got him.


Not such an easy toy to put together! lol

Ava helping out.

Getting ready for his smash cake!





Here comes Mason's very own smash cake! Mommy made it with love! :)


Time to try it...

Hm...he's not sure what to think...

Better remove his Elmo shirt before it gets all dirty!

Time to dig in!


This is probably the only bite he took of his cake...



I see Sami and Sunny plotting to steal the food while the people aren't looking...they didn't, don't worry.


He's loving all the attention!


Smashing is done, now time to play with balloons!

He was getting tired and started rubbing his eyes..


I think he enjoyed his smash cake! And we enjoyed watching him smash it! Time for a bath!




Happy Birthday Mason baby! Our little one year old!

XOXO,
Mommy/Sara

EASY DIY Optimus Prime Costume (Rescue Bots)

Image
My son Mason who is 3 years old (almost 4), wanted to be Optimus Prime for Halloween. He has been watching Transformers Rescue Bots for a few years now, so I knew I wanted to make the Rescue Bots version. I have made his last two Halloween costumes and I was really excited to make this one! So I sat down to do some research on it and Googled "DIY Optimus Prime costume" and a bunch of images popped up that seemed really hard to do and also really hard to trick-or-treat in looking quite boxy and hard to move in, so I just used them as inspiration and came up with my own version aka t he EASY version! Supplies: 2 cereal boxes (I used large Cheerios boxes) 1 additional cereal box to be cut up 2 small boxes (I used Keurig k-cup boxes that I had laying around) Duct tape: red, blue, metallic silver (I found mine on Amazon) 2 empty paper towel rolls Cotton balls Black construction paper Gray paint (I mixed black and white together because that's all I had) 1 pai

Project Organize: Home Office

Image
Recently, I decided I would take on the task of organizing our home. I am getting there slowly, but surely. The first (almost) completed project on my organizing to do list is my home office. I say almost because I still need to polyurethane the desk and put the new knobs on it. Other than that, it's completed and I couldn't wait to take pictures of it and share it! :) It was also great lighting this morning with the sun coming in through the windows, so I grabbed my camera and started shooting. I should also mention, we are almost done with a complete mudroom makeover, so stay tuned for a Mudroom Tour post! :) First, I'll show you the old desk area (picture taken June 2010). We inherited this desk from Michael's sister Laura and I painted it white and spray painted the knobs yellow (to match the chair, duh!). It's so funny looking back at old pictures of how I used to decorate and seeing how I've evolved as I have learned more of what I like. Anyways,

Kitchen Reno redo 2.0

Image
                              The ongoing saga of our cruddy old kitchen is finally over, for the most part.  We attempted the quick fix and failed and now with a little time, knowledge and cash we think we finally got it right. Our ceilings are lower than the average house so we couldn't buy stock cabinets.  We custom made everything and added some Rev-a-shelf accessories. So awesome!!  See the pictures below and be amazed... Original kitchen (aka the O.K.) We added the hardwood floor. O.K. counter As you can see it was quite an interesting set up. Here you can see the old floor (hideous!).  Our first renovation attempt was a cheap paint job on the cabinets and on the tile counter top. Yup..... we tried that.... We changed the island and painted the chairs. Here you can see our paint job. Looks good!! Nice pics of the O.K and staircase. We were happy with the counter paint but over time.... a short period of time... t
