I just started taking a cake decorating class through Michael's. Its the Wilton Method of cake decorating which I'm sure that isn't super fancy but its been a lot of fun. Our first class we talked about making icing and then also discussed how you ice a cake. So the picture quality isn't great but this is my first cake that I made for class. We learned how to do borders using the star tip and also writing on the cake. I didn't write on the cake but I did practice writing. I'm not super good at that yet. I'm really looking forward to the last 2 classes and then I think I'm going to try the other courses.

Mom is a crazy hippie
So I know I mentioned switching to cloth diapers and well I haven't fully switched but we've done some part time cloth diapers. Its going pretty good. I do like the cloth better than the disposable. The washing isn't bad as everyone had said it was going to be. I don't have a ton of diapers and we usually use like 3 a day so i am washing like once every 2 days. But its not so bad. And since its been so nice out I can let them dry on my porch. The cloth really help if Violet has a rash or a little redness. It usually goes away pretty quick with the cloth. Cloth diapers have come a long way since they were used on me.
This is the first ones we got. They are Kushies brand, all in ones. So there is no diaper cover the cloth is all built right in. The only bad thing about t
hese is that they take forever to dry. They also velcro shut but there isn't velcro on the other side of the tab so you have to position them just right.
Here's the happy girl in her Kushies diaper. She's a little on the small side here but she now fits in them a little better now that she put on some weight.
This diaper is more like the old school diapers. They call them prefolds and they can either be put on with diaper pins or a fancy tool called a Snappi. Its a rubbery y shaped thing that has teeth on the 3 ends and grips the diaper on with out having to use the pins. Or depending on the type of diaper cover you can just fold them and insert them into the pocket. Both ways work really well and these I like the best. They absorb more and don't leak ever.
This is a close up of the diaper cover. We only have two covers this one with the cute flowers and then one with frogs on it. I forgot to take pictures of that one.
I'm so happy in my cute diaper

Cloth Diapering
Cloth diapering is something I've been considering because the prices of pampers and huggies are going up again. Well they keep the prices of the packages the same but then put less diapers in a package. So I'm fed up and I'm looking into some at http://www.kellyscloset.com/ So if you are interested give it a try

First Round of Shots
Today was Violet's first set of shots. She had one in each leg and there is one more she still needs but the Dr didn't have it in their office yet. She's not a very happy baby today. Hopefully I can get her to nap soon.

Violet's Re-Birth Day...
Violet was baptized last sunday March 29th. It was Nick's second baptism but how many people get to baptize their own children. It was pretty neat.
Matthew 19:14- Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Violet is 1 month old!
Violet is officially 1 month as of yesterday. She's such a big girl now. She now follows objects with her eyes. She's smiling and laughing socially. We are still working on sleeping through the night but one step at a time.
Taking a nap in the swing for the first time
So happy!
Violet at 1 month and Steve

Violet and Her Monster
My sister gave me the idea to take Violet's picture with a stuffed animal or something to see how she grows in relation to the animal. I chose this pink monster. We are still trying to figure out a name for it but this is the first picture with the monster.

Ouch!
Yesterday I had the glucose screening and then also the shot for the RH factor stuff. So I had to get a bunch of blood drawn and then stabbed and what not. Not to mention that the drink for the glucose stuff was gross. Today my back is a little sore but I'm doing ok. Now we wait to find out the results. Well really the Dr's office goes on no news is good news. So I will most likely end up calling Thursday or so. It was a long day of waiting yesterday. And now today I have to make cookies for the LWML cookie sale.
