she makes me do crazy things

like cry
im feeling a bit sad today.
i wont lie.
it was so hard saying goodbye.
me and my mom had some
really good heart to heart convo's
she gets where im at right now and i appreciate that.
anywho.
she is so super beautiful and funny.
and she totally drives me nuts sometimes.
the best was when she was trying to get
adri to wear red lipstick to disneyland.
why does she always try to make her wear red lipstick?

going to see the seals
and playing on the beach.
darby kept calling the seals puppies.

here she is playing with one of her 2 dogs
aka
spawns of satan
me and adri both agree.
they gotstago!

selena who?

christian quickly forgot about selena gomez
when he found a lookalike on the beach.
he frolicked with her for a long time.
it was so funny
me and auntie adri were laughing so hard.

the magic kingdom awaits

what i cant wait for...
mom and sisters
sunshine
the beach thats 5 minutes away
trader joes
lots and lots of extra helping hands
moms pool and backyard
meeting sisters new boyfriend
disneyland
mom and jenny's cooking
playing with my kids all day all weekend
naps
last but not least:
selena gomez!
cman thinks that because she lives in california
we are going to see her.
i think he is just excited about her
as seeing grandma, aunties and disneyland.
ive tried explaining it to him
that we arent going to see her
but it goes in one ear and out the other.

taken last year in the backyard

who da thunk?

that an upside down basket
would make an amazing hanging light.

this one is in the almost done kitchen.
ive had that basket for years and years.
it had lotion and crap in it.
i was going to toss it.
im so glad i didnt.
the contractor thats making the kitchen beautiful
just got a hanging light kit at home depot.
super easy cheesy.

this one is in my bedroom.
got the basket from etsy for $10
spent $10 on parts from home depot.
and gave my friends hubby a
gift cert to pf changs for hanging it.
but total cost $20!!

{a tutorial}

ill post better pic's when the kitchen is done
and ive painted my bedroom ceiling...
sometimes i wish i had more hours in a day...

sleepless nights

i could not, for the love,
go to sleep last night.
but i got a wild hair to make
a bib necklace for darby
to wear to church today.
it was super fun and easy to do.
here is a good tutorial on
how to make the fabric flowers.
im so paying the price today,
i can barely keep my eyes open...

i watched this movie while
i was crafting.
it was awesome.
a must see ladies.

eskimo kiss

this is little miss avery.
christian and little miss avery are best friends.
they are in the same kindergarten class.
they are neighbors.
and little miss avery's mom just
so happens to be one of my best friends too.
i hope christian will still love
little miss avery even when its not so cool
to have girls as friends...

temptation island

if i wasnt going to california in a week

or needing to buy the kids some spring clothes

or saving for a new lense

i would make these purchases right away...

i saw this dress in the catalogue

now its on sale

*sigh*

i have a bumload of cardi's that
would look amazing with the dress
but here is a simple gray
love and cant get enough gray

the taller the better :)

i love me some platforms or stilettos

i love being tall

so id better remarry someone

a good solid foot taller than me.

ugh

the thought of marriage just made

me throw up in my mouth.

on itunes they have a couple

remixes that are awesome as well

good day sunshine part 1

christians birthday morning
polaroid style...

he got it!!
his DS i thought he was going
to die from happiness

this made me laugh so hard
cmans teacher asked if he wanted
hard or soft birthday spankins
he replied
"hugs"
with a huge smile on his face.
so he got 6 birthday hugs
instead of spankins.

mmmmmmmmmm
