Birthdays Birthdays Birthdays

Well we've successfully had 3 birthday parties in the last 3 weeks...and I learned to never do that again :( Too much for this momma.  Clearly the reason I haven't blogged.  On the 21st of August we had a few close friends over for pizza and cake to celebrate Lily turning 3.  Simple but still requires prep and cleaning.  She has the sweetest friends though and I know that even though she's only 3 she will look back and hopefully be thankful that I had a party.  The girls at the end of the night had a dance party on the trampoline with glow sticks and it was just about the cutest thing I've ever seen.



On September 5th I threw a surprise party for Rollie's 35th with a little help from friends.  We gathered at Hopmonk Tavern in Sebastapol and had a really fun (adults only) night out.  I had custom Star Wars cupcakes made from Sift and they turned out AMAZING!  Worth every penny.  Rollie assures me he had no idea so that made it even better.

Last but certainly not least, we had Pipers first birthday yesterday morning.  I went with a nautical theme and even though I ended up ditching alot of pintrest ideas due to a crazy week last week it turned out pretty cute.  We had mini crossiant sandwhiches, watermelon, fish n chips (ruffles and goldfish), live bait (swedish fish) and homemade chocolate cupcakes. 


I'm so very thankful for great friends that celebrated with us.  I'm sure your sick of The Wrights by now, I promise nothing more until next year...ok maybe the Holidays :)

I'm off to sleep.  Ha!  If only.

In the thick of it

Hopefully monthly blogging won't become a habit.  Life has just been crazy.  April was a big blur. We host a bi annual pick up party at work and for the months of April and October I'm pretty much a working like mad or exhausted from working like mad.  Then it took a week to feel normal again! I'm also working split days at the moment (off on Sunday/Tuesday) and its really not fun.  I can't truly enjoy a weekend and its really hard to decompose on Sundays knowing that I have to work the next day.  Hopefully I only 2 more months of it until Piper can start at Lily's preschool/daycare. Rollie was a rock-star Dad as always, taking care of not only the girls but me too.  I know there were days that I was grumpy and not myself.  They did come to visit me one day during the craziness and that helped! Lily is wonderful 90% of the time and a threenager the other 10%.  It's absolutely amazing what a 3.5 year old absorbs and their tiny little imaginatio...

21 Weeks

21 weeks Cooking time: 21 weeks, 1 day Weight gain: +4...I'm thinking from here on out it will probably be 1 pound a week since it was slow to come on in the beggining.  I think this is the ONLY time in my life that I've been called small by several people that know how far along I am.  I've struggled with weight since college, so maybe this is god's kind way of saying...you won't be one of those people who put on 50-60 pounds during pregnancy. Maternity clothes: oh yeah...I LOVE my grey maxi skirt from Target, I think I'll go grab the black one tonight :) Food cravings: red meat still...had a nice burger for lunch today and chocolate...I indulged in a bit too much Easter candy Food dislikes: frozen peas are the only thing I've found so far Missing: Sleeping through the night and beer...I've really been craving a nice cold beer latley and the non-alcholic stuff is crap so its not even worth the calories. What we've been up to: On Saturday ...

My latest read...

I have lots to blog about, Chicago, Michigan, our recent weekend in San Fran...but this comes first.  Last week I was doing my usual 'before bedtime Facebook scan', and I came across a post from a High School friend.  Maggie had posted an article about Natalie Taylors new memoir, 'Signs of Life'.  I knew it was going to be released  this Winter/Spring but it had slipped my mind.  I immediately went onto Amazon and ordered it.  I got the book Thursday and I'll be done tonight (I have 2 more chapters to go).  I'm not a fast reader.  Rollie can back me up on this one.  I got about 6 books for Christmas and I've only finished one so far, and I'm in the middle of two others.  Rollie would have had all of them finished and probably would have bought a few more by now. But back to the point.  A little background on Natalie...Natalie was married to Josh Taylor, one of my closest friends brother and someone that...
