Busy Busy!

We Finally Moved into our new house! We are so excited and can't wait to raise our little girl in this house. I will try and post some pictures as soon as I can! As for the baby update.... I have been doing everything I can do get this baby out, Going on hikes and running up the mountain, not to mention moving, carying heavy boxes up and down the stairs etc... I guess she is just really comfy (I make a good Incubator). So... I put up a new poll (on the right) to see when you guys think the babes will come! (P.S. If you choose Christmas, I will hunt you down and throw rocks at you!) Thanks!

Robyn's Latenight Shinanigans #2!!

Yes. This feature is not so new anymore but this is only the second addition to the actual feature since it's inception. This one is a treat. Please, if you are reading this blog, doesn't matter who you are, leave a comment. The more reactions the better.

So it went down like this... I was rolling over into bed and Robyn reached out her arms to give me a hug and said the following:

R - Come here, let me hug you. I love you so much.
B - I love you too! Thanks. (Thinking she was awake and had her head on straight.... until...)
Youre such a good yardworker.
Yardworker?
Ya, the thing that they are paying you for!
Yardworker? 
Ya.
Who is paying me to do yardwork?
Linda.

I laughed a little bit before Robyn fell quickly back into a deep sleep. Gotta love my wife! :) My mom (or Linda Orme) is definitely not paying me to do any yard work.

Baby Shower!!!

Last Sunday all the girls on Brandon's side of the family threw me a baby shower. I am always amazed at how creative his whole side of the family is! The theme for the shower was look Whoooo's joining the Family Tree so the whole thing was decorated with Owls. All the decorations were so cute! They served an Awesome Pasta bar dinner with Breadsticks and Salad from Olive Garden... (leftover's were fantastic) then we played some baby bunko... I Never knew Bunko was so fun! I LOVED IT! Court and I want to have a weekly bunko party with friends. Then after that we opened some gifts, well not just some gifts.... A LOT of gifts. Brandon's family is so nice and got me WAY too many things. I honestly can't believe how many nice things I got. I seriously don't feel worthy. But I am so grateful that I married into such an amazing family. I owe everyone some serious thank-you cards! (especially everyone who helped put it together) Here are some pictures from the party. I feel bad being the last one to post about this but I had to wait for everyone else to post so I could steel there pictures.

I almost forgot about the cake... I dont have a picture of it but it is probably the BEST Cake I have ever eaten. It was Coconut cake. Here is the recipe...

Bake a White cake, poke holes in the top of it with the end of a wooden spoon, then stir and pour cream of coconut (coco lopez brand) all over the top of the cake while it is still warm, Let it cool, cover then chill. Then when it is time to eat it frost with real whip cream (sweetened with powdered sugar) and top with shredded coconut.

It is such an easy recipe and a crowd pleaser for sure! I seriously have dreams about this cake! Most of us were licking our plates clean when it was gone!

Thanks again everyone! I had a Blast. We should have Girl family parties all the time!! You guys are the best!
