my man is 28!

Happy Birthday to Mark!!
(well, last saturday)


To celebrate this awesome guy's life, we had a day filled with crabs--yes, you heard right--CRABS!!
In the morning, and it was a beautiful morning, we drove to Seashore for some crabbing fun. Mark's parents and some friends joined us. Thank you all for loving my hubby that day--it was a great time for him!!







(This was Beck's first beach experience. He did GREAT! He even got in two naps.)

Later that night, we had a meal of crabs, Mexican dip(one of his faves), and Caesar salad...yum!! We hung out with some really fun friends until late...a perfect day for Mark.

This is his gift from Vara. The kids each painted him a shirt.

aw..Matty holding Bella, so sweet! Come on Matt and Kim, have a baby!

Homemade Baby Powder




This is an easy and wonderfully scented powder. The flowers provide anti-fungal properties to keep that little tushie clear.

1/3c Calendula flowers (dry)
1/3c Chamomile flowers (dry)
1/3c Pure Cornstarch

Process flowers until a powder. Add cornstarch, process until well blended.
Store in a shaker jar.
Enjoy!!
