eBay: Saladmaster food processor

My first introduction to this kitchen appliance was at a cooking party my sister-in-law Christa had. I fell in love with it and wanted one, but never managed to plan a party myself, making me ineligible to get one. Contemplating on how I could get my hands on one without having a party I started to google "Saladmaster food processors" and found quite a few on eBay. I have spent the last month obsessively biding on them and always loosing. This is the first eBay product I have every bid on, so it has been a learning experience for me. Discouraged by the inability to just buy the damn thing I started to give up. Then I finally found a good deal in a buyitnow option at an eBay store. It should be arriving this week. I can't hardly wait.

A sweet surprise

I found this in Canyon's diaper bag when I was unpacking it yesterday. He was at Summer's house on Monday. I don't know if it came from Connor or Holden or little Canyon himself, but it made me smile all day long. I love rainbows. Thank-you Summer.

This is my belly...

And I am 35 weeks pregnant...

And this is who is inside...

And I can't wait to meet him!

A weekend away with Gary

The second to the last item on my things to do before the baby is born list was to go away for the weekend with Gary. Last weekend we went to the Renaissance Festival. We enjoyed the food and a few silly shows. We saw some good friends and soaked up the sun. The rest of the weekend was spent eating and shopping. We had a wonderful time! I love my husband!

Canyon's Birthday Celebration

Having Canyon in our lives is the greatest blessing. We thank God for sending us him on a daily basis. He is sweet, funny, imaginative, and outgoing. He is everything we could have asked for and much, much more. We love to love him! We had so much fun giving him a Happy Birthday. His birthday present from Mama & Dad. He thinks it's great. But his head is too big for the helmet (3+ in size) so we need to exchange it before we do much street riding.
