I don't know what's happened to me, but lately I have been feeling sort of creative. Those that know me will be shocked, but it's true. It all started when I decided I would make a diaper cake for Kelley's baby shower a couple months ago. I busted out some ribbon, decorative pieces, and a hot glue gun and went to town! And, it turned out pretty good. When Tabitha's baby shower came around I attempted diaper cake #2 (this time for a girl) and that one turned out pretty good too:)
So, my latest craft discovery has been Mod Podge. That's right.... craft glue! It sounds silly, but it is really fun to use. So I crafted this little Spring Door Wreath (idea curtesy of another crafty blogger) and hung it up. Looks good and it was SUPER SIMPLE.
This week also brings up the final week in the CrossFit Open. If you don't know about CrossFit or the CrossFit Games you should really learn:) Seriously, the BEST workout I could ever do. It's helped me to get stronger, faster, and heal injuries. Anyway, our gym has been competing in the Open over the last 6 weeks. There is a workout every week and each individual submits their scores on a weekly basis. Each individual is ranked with other athletes from around the world! Pretty intense, and oh so fun. Our team has successfully qualified for the next step in the competition.... Northwest Regionals. Regionals are just outside of Tacoma in June. There is still so much I need to work on; muscle-ups, handstand push-ups, one-legged squats. I will be busy over the next month. For you mothers out there; I credit CrossFit with keeping me healthy during my pregnancy, a relatively easy birth, a quick recovery, and getting rid of all of that baby weight! YEAH! Anyway, Everett went with me to the gym this morning to complete the final workout. He is sporting his mohawk and his "Born to Crossfit" shirt to help support me:)
Lastly, Everett has figured out how to perform consecutive rolls:) This means that he can now travel across the floor all by himself. The problem, the poor little guy prefers to roll one direction which means when he meets an obstacle he gets stuck! Too funny! I think this kid will be crawling in no time:)
Ash,

Me- "Ashley updated again!"
Jase- "Really?!"
Woohoo! I'm loving these blog updates! And DARLING diaper cakes. They turned out really cute! I've never done one. You'll have to teach me someday. Oh, and darling nephew, too ;)
