John's Incredible Pizza

Mallory had a little play date with her friends, Tucker, Madison & Micah at John's Incredible Pizza! She had a great time riding the train, riding the horse and climbing the jungle gym! I had a great time visiting with Chad & Tiffany, her mom & niece, Stephanie & Shannon! Here are a few pictures I captured with my phone!

11 Weeks!

We are 11 weeks along now in our pregnancy with baby #2! We saw Dr Mason's Ultrasound girl, Corrie, this week and got 5 new pictures of our baby!! We also heard the baby's heartbeat and it was 171bpm! The baby is a size of a lime, approximately 2 inches and 1/3 oz! I am feeling nauseous and throwing up every other day or so! I feel good besides that! I have only gained 2 pounds so far which changes daily depending if I have been sick!! I blame that on the bed-rest and my problem with snacking. I'm loving being pregnant so far and can't wait until I actually look pregnant! Can't wait for our next appointment!


PS I loved the gray at first for the chalkboard but I think it might be to light! I think I'll repaint it black!

Chalkboard Pictures by Shuan!

We took a few pictures of our family with a pretty spring blossoms and my new pregnancy chalkboard! Here are a few of my favorites! Can't wait to use the board every week!!

Making a Chalkboard!

I saw this super cute idea on mommyslittlesunshine.blogspot.com of a pregnant woman who decorated a chalkboard every week during her pregnancy! I loved the idea so much, I made one! A chalkboard of this size at Target is almost $300 and its an ugly black color!! I was able to make mine for $15 and choose a super cute color! I found a blank frame that used to hold a picture that my mom didn't want anymore, a piece of wood to fit the frame exactly from a cabinet store for $10, Martha Stewart Chalkboard Paint from Michael's for $3 and a paint brush to make a total of $15! Here's the picture of me painting the 2ND coat of Paint!

Here is the piece of wood after I decorated it but before I put it in the frame!

And just outside of the frame ready to be put in! Before I "Pledged" the frame!

And in the frame ready to go for the photo shoot!!

Guess Who's Going to be Big Sister?

Mallory is going to be a BIG SISTER!! YAY!! The last round of InVetro we participated in FINALLY WORKED!!! So that means that WE ARE PREGNANT! We can't wait! The due date of the future Dockstader baby is October 6Th 2012! We are so excited, we can't even handle it! Here is our announcement card and Mallory in her "BIG SISTER" shirt!

Piggies & Paws

So my friend Becky went to a Piggies & Paws party and made this super cute print!

A artist from this company http://www.piggiesandpaws.com comes to your house to host a party for you and your friends and their kids! She has over 200 designs for you to choose from and makes you a 8x10 matted picture to keep as a keepsake of your child's hand or foot print!
I am going to host a party at my house on Saturday, March 31st from 12 to 2pm. Each picture is around $25. There is no presentation or gimmick like there is at Jewelry/Candle parties! I'm not getting anything or trying to get anyone else to do it! The lady doesn't have a store so you have to do it at someones house and have a minimum of 4 pictures purchased! I am very excited! I think it will make a great framed picture for Mallory's room verses those heavy plaster prints! :) Hope everyone can come make a fun picture for either yourself or as a Mother's Day gift!

**Update** I just got Mallory's print back!! We love it!!!

20 Months Old!

Our little Malsy Palsy is 20 months old! We had a physical check-up at Dr Jones this week and she is doing great! He said her head circumference is 18 2/4 inches. She is 31 inches tall which is in the 25 percentile and she weighs 22 pounds which is also in the 25 percentile! Mallory is not very big but she is growing at a good pace for herself!
Mallory is talking more and more everyday! She likes to make the sounds for dog, cat, cow, snake, horse and bird! She knows where her nose, ears, lips, eyes, hair, hands, feet, belly and bum is! She loves to "fly" with Daddy and loves to read with Mom!
Here is Mallory ready for church! Isn't she so cute?! Love her!!

Goals for the coming month: Get rid of the pacifier and sleep through the night!! My gosh!!

Sydne's 17th Birthday!

We celebrated Sydne's 17th Birthday today at Five Guys Resturant. We had a great time eating and watching Mallory run all over the place!

Flash Foto Photobooth

Dustin started a Photobooth Company called Fresno Flash Foto! He made the photobooth originally for his sister Ashlie's wedding! We have done a few weddings so far since then and a few birthday parties! It is always a big hit! The guests enjoy taking a picture and putting half in the couples photo album and leaving a message! We got a few pictures of his booth but we will be taking more soon!

Random Pictures!

Mallory is just the cutest thing you have even seen! I got a few random pictures of her on my phone! (Thats why the quality is so bad!!) Mallory loves to wear Grandma's reading glasses at Red Robins! Mallory loved the bounce house at Aunt Tiffany's Birthday Party! Mallory loves to wear her own sunglasses and silver shoes at the house!

Eagle Scout

My cousin Nathan is an Eagle Scout!! This is a big accomplishment! I'm super proud of him and his hard work!
