Car Show High Lights and Other News

Well the "Early Iron Festival 2009" is over and all I can say is, "I'm beat!" We made close to $6,000 dollars for the Jefferson County QRU. We had a lot of foot traffic but my family wishes we had more cars/entry's show up. I sold 3 diaper cakes so that made me happy. Here sometime this week, I'll post the rest on Craig list to see if they'll sell too.
I had a Doctor visit on Tuesday and Dr.Isbell said everything is right where it needs to be. He wants to do an other ultrasound on the 10th, after that I go in every 2 weeks. I need to get my mailing list done so I can get my invites out for the baby shower. My friend Lori wants to have it on the 12th (I think).
In other news, my little black truck will be no more, it's getting 'Cash for Clunked'. My brother is using it to get a new car and we'll be getting his 2000 Grand AM GT. The car will last us a lot longer than that black truck will. It has been on it's last leg for along time! It's kinda sad to see my black truck go, I've had it sense high school. I have good memories in that truck. Jake won't miss it, he hated driving it.

Car Show, Diaper Cakes, and a lot of STRESS!

Well the Rigby Early Iron Festival is a week away and lets just say I'll be glad when it is over. My family has but in dozens of man hours into this thing and I hope it all pays off. For all of you reading this, on Aug. 15th if you are not doing anything you should head to the Jefferson County Fair Grounds for a good time. Trust me, you'll have a blast with the car show, the food, games craft/ swap meet vendors and more.
I have made nine diaper cakes to sell in the craft fair. I think they turn out really cute but you will have to be the judge. I'll post photos of them later. I am considering this a test. If they sell good, I post them on the Internet and sell them as I make them or do custom orders. A lot of stress has caused me to pull out some of my hairs.
Not only the car show and the diaper cakes, but finding things for the baby's room. Did you know that all the nice baby bedding is over $100?! I finally ask my good friend Judy Bloom, (Hi Judy!) to make the crib set. We went to Joanne's and found material that matches blankets my mom has already bought me. It is going to be really cute. I am so grateful to have such wonderful friends!
