Karter's First Birthday Mustache Bash!

This weekend we had Karter's first birthday party,

I really can't believe that my sweet baby boy is one already, 

seems like just yesterday I was lying in the OR FaceTime-ing

with Lorne in Afghanistan while he was born.

Karter has been such a beautiful surprise for our family and

I can't imagine my life with out him in it.

Here's the invitation we used (I've blurred the address)

I love a good pun!

Soda Labels are from the Mustache Madness collection from BirthdayDirect.com 

Mustache Straws and Lollies from OrientalTrading.com

I created the printables with graphics from JW Illustrations

We had Stache Sugar Cookies and Manly Crunch (Apple Slices)

Chocolate Cigars (Pirouettes)

M&M Mini Tubes as Favors

Root Beers for the grown ups

and Milk Mustaches (Chocolate Milks)

for the kiddies

Real Man (Red Velvet) Cupcakes

I bought the cupcakes because I didn't have time to make them,

the party was at my mom's house, which is a five hour drive

from our house so store bought it was--don't judge me!

With mustache picks from Oriental Trading

Free Printable : Mustache Valentines

Hey guys, everyone busy getting ready for Valentine's Day?

I wanted to share with you what Kolton will be taking to school

to share with his little buddies.

I found these awesome self adhesive mustaches at +Target only $1.50

for 8 of them!  I plan to stick them to Kolton's valentine cards I

designed up last week, I'll probably add some candy also because,

well I love candy! 

I made a non personalized version available for download here.

I got ours printed at a local photo place, they're sized just right for 

4x6 prints, but if you wanted to print them at home there is a

version with smaller cards that will print on a sheet

of regular printer paper here:

I like getting things printed at photo labs though, 

mainly just to save my ink, 

but I do think they look better,

and you don't have to cut them out.

Enjoy!

Free Printable : Wi Fi Password Sign

Hey guys!

Kolton and Kaylee's party is coming up soon,

and the families are coming to visit,

we're going to have a full house for sure.

I didn't want to have to dig around for the piece

of paper that has our wifi password on it

every time someone needed it:

So I whipped up this handy sign,

laminated it,

and pinned it to my bulletin board.

Hope you like it!

Free Printable-Baby Sitter Notes

Like a lot of parents,

Eddie and I hardly ever get a night out without the kids,

in fact it's so rare that it make me anxious just thinking

about leaving them with someone who is not me

(or at least family)

In the interest of being prepared for our big night out

next week to a

Bruno Mars concert,

(gah I love me some Bruno Mars)

I went searching the internet for a babysitter

note printable.  I had trouble finding something that I really

liked, or that didn't cost money, so I got busy making my own.

Thought I'd share it with you too!

Just click on the image below and save it to your computer.

Remember, sharing is caring, if you like the image please pin it!

House Reveal Part One-Karter's Room

Say hello to the new Casa Verde!

We just bought our first house and we're super excited!

It's still in the decorating process, because it takes me a while to 

decide where I want everything, I was just thinking this afternoon, 

I might move around the sectional in the living room.

Anyway, family and friends have been asking to see it so

I figured I'd give you all a glimpse inside the one and only room

that I consider done (well done enough lol).

Karter's Room!

Karter's blanket was made by his Aunt Kenz

I painted the painting to the left

Light is from IKEA (gah, I love that store)

Elvis print I took from my grandmothers house 

This painting was done by my momma,

Karter's Nanny

I guess I got a lot of pics of his bed haha

 And another of my paintings

Big Ol' Mason Jar of Pacifiers

and one of the Singing Elvis Dogs 

my grandma had since I was a kid.

I had to have this one, it sings Jailhouse Rock!

We are still looking for a record frame to hang the

Johnny Cash albums we have, but other than that

our littlest Rockstar is all set!

Next room...Kaylee Bug's!

Our first Homecoming.

It's been a busy few weeks for the Green's

Eddie came home from his first deployment the 

last week of June.  Since it was going to be his first time

meeting Baby Karter I wanted so badly to have a photographer

there to help capture the memories from that special moment.

After some drama trying to find a photographer 

Gina from Gina Davison Photography 

http://www.ginadavisonphotography.com

was able to step in at literally the last minute for 

us (shout out to Gina for being awesome)

Aren't they the sweetest

and the silliest?!

 The plan was just landing!

The big moment! 

Sweet Kaylee would not let go of Daddy's leg

Daddy brought Kaylee a bracelet back

(sidenote: she lost it in the bathroom of the airport about 5 minutes later haha)

Our first official family of five photo

(I don't know what's going on with my face though haha)
