The J's Annual 4th of July Party

I am so excited and we are suppose to have great weather. It is only a few days away to our annual 4th of July party. Each year it gets bigger and better. I have so many ideas on how to decorate the house. I have already put up the 4th of July flag on the house. I need to put decorations on the door and I think that I am going to line the driveway with flags, like I did last year. Since we are suppose to beautiful weather, I am trying to think of ways to decorate the back yard. I am sure that I will think of something. Here are some ideas that I found that I might use to display the food and decorate the house.....
I am making cupcakes, but instead of making flags like they did at Martha Stewart, I think that I might make star. They might be a little easier to cute out and I can use the scrapbook paper that I already have.


I found this idea again .... thanks to good ole Martha. I think that I am going to make stars to put on the straw and put a Sharpie next to the cups so that people can put their name on the star to keep track of their glass.

I am going to get started with decorating and cooking on Friday and Saturday, since I am taking a mini-vacation over the next few days. I will make sure that I post, how I decided to decorate and all festivities.  What are your plans for the 4th?

Love, Marriage and then a _______________

Love, marriage and then a baby carriage. I am preggers. I am 15 weeks pregnant. I know that it is not fall along, but I wanted to share our blessing on my blog. We are very excited about the little one, that we are currently calling Baby J. I have not had much sickness. I have had periods of nausea, but it is not consistent. I have noticed that my body is changing, as it should. I just guess that I was not expecting my body to change that quick.  As my friend, Bev says, " Your growing a life. What do you expect?" She is right. Really, I do not know what to expect. It will be quite a little journey as another part of me sweeping through  life.

Girl Announcing the arrival of our beautiful baby girl Gabrielle . She arrived a little bit early and kinda unexpectedly but well timed. She arrived on February 3, 2012 at 8:05 am. We are still getting settled in at home, but I wanted to let you know that she had arrived and I will share our story and pictures later.
