Alesha's Wedding Cake

Check out my cake blog JACKed Cakes: Alesha's Wedding Cake.  I made this cake for a wedding last weekend.  It's really similar to one I made last summer.  I think it's lovely.

Breastpump

The title is your warning. Feel free to not read this. 

Breastpumping is weird.  Especially at work.  I'm glad it exists, don't me wrong.  And I'm grateful a certain friend lent me a certain device so I didn't have to spend 70 gazillion dollars to feel awkward at work.

I was discussing pumping with AK about 5 minutes ago.  He likes to tease me.  There was a cow reference.  I laughed.  Then I told him he should have to experience the wonder that is breast pumping...for empathy, ya know.  Obviously I knew he would refuse.  I don't really know what I would have done if he would have been like, "ok, hook me up!"  But, really, he couldn't handle it.  I know it.  And it made me think of this...

(obviously both images are not my own, they came from google somewhere)

AK scared the Feds

I know I have a ton of adorable baby pictures to post.  Soon.  I mean it.

But for now, a story.

Today, Adam got a flat tire near Camp Williams while driving to work today.  He called me and I retrieved him.  His car mishap made him late for work so he just locked his car, left it there, and I took him to work on my way to work.

When his coworker returned him to his car, a federal agent was there and wouldn't let AK do anything without ID, which he left at work.  And Adam wasn't allowed to leave to go get it...you know, because he is super suspicious looking.  His coworker had to drive back and retreive Adam's ID.  Apparently, leaving a vehicle parked just outside Camp Williams and just ditching is a major red flag and the nice FBI man thought AK might be some kind of terrorist.  Nutso!

Several hours later, my sweet, innocent, non-terrorist husband was allowed to return to work.  Poor fellow.  It never even crossed my mind how shady leaving his car there would appear to those inside.

Some stolen catch up

My blogging skills are obviously lacking lately...so I'll just steal some pics directly from my sister's blog.

The Saturday before Mother's Day, we went swimming at the Gene pool (so weird to pay to swim where I used to work) with my family.  It was so fun.  Avynlee is obsessed with swimming.  We take her every week or two.  She's a big fan.

 

 Here are some pics from our venture to SG over Easter.  I have more somewhere but I bet they never get posted.

And I turned 26.  Aliese and Darrin were here and took us to Cheesecake Factory.  It was way fun.

I have Avynlee's 6 month pictures.  They are amazing and adorable and I love them.  And now that she is almost 9 months old, I should probably post some.  Next time.

Let's talk car seats, shall we?

Avynlee is pretty big baby.  She has almost outgrown her infant carseat and is not quite 8 months old.  So, we need to start looking into getting her a new one.  She obviously still needs a 5 point harness and should probably stay rear facing.  I am debating between a convertible carseat and a high back booster with a 5 point harness.  The boosters I have looked into are foward facing only.  If I got a convertible one, would she just use the backless booster seat when she grows out of the convertible one?  I'm just wondering what others' experiences have been.  Any tips?
