Great Balls of Fire!

Okay, this has really got to stop! It's as hot as a freakin butt crack out here. I'm paying way to much to live in this beautiful "temperate climate" called San Diego. My toes should not be sweating. It's stupid HOT. STOP IT!

My Budding Little Artist!

Because I'm so proud of her little scribbles, I know one day she will enjoy being creative just like Mom!

They are kinda like the ink drawing's that psychiatrists use with their troubled patients. What do you see? I think it's a picture of Becca dancing! She loves to dance so I think she is combining two of her passions into one! Pure genius I tell you!

I've woken the sleeping beast!

Because I've been feeling very creative lately, I've been trying to use up some of the scrap stuff I've DUMPED into a bin in my closet. With a little organizing, I have a system that allows me to pull this stuff out, even if it's just for 45 min. It makes all the difference to have things at your fingertips!

These are just little jouranls for whatever. Grocery lists, phone messages, notes to your sweetie, reminders for the day. It makes doing all those things a little more fun when you have something cute to write them in!

Be warned! Starting fun little projects like these wakes the sleeping beast! I've already been to Micheals twice in one week and orederd things from a fun little website called 2 peas in a bucket! A local Tulsonian told me all about it several years ago! I've lately been dreaming about this stuff too! So weird.

So enjoy looking at them, I enjoyed making them!


I Love Chandaliers.



Most of my paper is by a company called Basic Grey, love their stuff, check em out! (wink to Heidi)



The end, for now!

Baby Butts

Someday, little gems like this are really going to embarrass her! But there is something so dang cute about a baby's butt! I get to giggling when I let her run around naked. However, one must use extreme caution when allowing ones baby to run a muck with no diaper on. Ones baby may or may not decide to go pee on the wood floor, slip in her pee, and bang ones baby's head on the coffee table while going down. Not like that has happened or anything.

We are entering KID territory!

There comes a point in every parents life when things like this happen. For some, it may not be until their little baby is all grown and playing some ruff and rugged sport. For other's, it will come all to soon because their child is just on the move all the time and SOMETHING is bound to happen.

What I'm talking about is that first big trip, smack, whaaaaaaa. You know the sound, you go running, thinking, will this be the big one, or, do we just need to stand up and brush ourselves off? We usually brush ourselves off, and continue on, sometimes needing a little snuggling to make it feel completely better. But not this time!!!!!

I warn you, the following hurts me everytime I look at her precious little face and the magic of camera's is still not capturing the true effects this whole 20 minutes of horror really had on us!

What had happened was I had taken out the vacume cleaner to do a little cleaning up. Becca HATES that dang thing and went running for the hills. Now she may have just tripped on her own two feet, who knows, but the next things I heard, after the crack, was her gearing up into a crying episode like no other. She also had her hands over her face which was not a good sign. I no more than picked her up, and the blood started to flow. She caught her mouth just right on the coffee table and the rest is history.

Blood was everywhere, on the floor, on me, on Dad, on the counters, on towels, on pants, and saturating Becca's little t-shirt. Not a pretty sight. We stayed calm and got the situation under control, but my baby is officially "Broken In", she is no longer brand new and she is certainly not a baby anymore. We are entering KID territory and I'm sure this is just the first of many blood and tear soaked t-shirts to come. It was a long Saturday night, and I hope she waits awhile to do something like this again. I'm Tired!

Who would of thought?

There are days when I just sit back and think, "who would of thought"! I'm married to a man that I love a little more everyday, I'm a mother of a beautiful, wonderful, fabulously fun little girl, we are going to parents to another wonderful little girl that I can't wait to meet, we have a home with a yard to blow bubbles in, I'm close to my sister and parents and have wonderful friends in my life.

Who would have thought!

I just need to remind myself of these wonderful things in my life when it seems like dark clouds of frustration are taking over. The one's like, time, money, or lack of sleep! Especially lately with the whole lack of sleep thing. Between being uncomfortable and having your baby wake up at 2am, one can feel a little on the groggy side. But then, just when I think I'm at my last straw, Becca will always do something cute and sweet and all is forgiven.

And sometimes there are days when you just need a good day at the park to wipe that little bundle of energy out! Thats when you know Mom's not playing, you WILL sleep tonight I tell ya!

She truely is the best parts of Travis and I. She has a sense of humor, the SWEETEST personality, too much smarts for her own good and the ability to make her Dad and I melt when she comes over to us and plants a Big Ol Kiss on us, for no aparent reason. We love her and she loves us and no matter what seems to not be going our way, we look at her and realize, we have an awful lot that is right.

Who would of thought that one little person can have such and enormous impact on your heart. I get it now. I get everything that my Mom and Dad ever did for me. Children are everything and I am so lucky Becca picked me! Love you Becca!
