It's so cute it's killing me!!!!!


Okay, I so want to make one of these play tents. Psst, she also did this as a rocket ship for boys! This goes on top of a TABLE! HELLO, why didn't I think of this!!!!! Look at how cool some of these are......Nothing Fancy did a really sweet one with floral fabric for a rectangular table top, and this one from make it and love it is really fun and girly too.

Now this crafty gal is making them into a busniess, gotta love it. She has some great idea's, plus, you could just buy one from her, but I think it would be fun to pick things out and put one together myself, with help of course!

*********So I'm sending my wishes to all the sewing faires out there that I know*************

My girls just have to get in on this cuteness, They just HAVE TOO!!!!!!

Summer Fun


This summer has been full of new things. I've been re-decorating a house, having fun with my growing girls and finding myself all over again. So I thought it might be good to share some of the things I'm lushing over lately.

1. Etsy!!!!!! Love this site. I can't say that enough. I just got these ADORABLE Boots that will find a sweet home on my shelves, and these beautiful hexes painted on old barn wood and lets not forget to mention this adorable tea towel that has added just a touch of whimsy in the kitchen. I'm stalking this necklace, maybe I can figure out how to make it, but I might just break down and buy the sucker. This lady does an amazing job with felt hair thingys, so so CUTE!

2. My favorite cool-off summer drink! Take a fun glass, fill it with ice, fill that with lime flavored sparkling water(crystal geyser or Arrowhead or something fancy if you prefer), and add one of those "on the go" drink mixes, my favorite flavor is raspberry lemonade, and viola! It's like the Limeades from Sonic!

3. Haviannas flip flops. They are the best!


4. Playing dress up with the girls. Becca loves getting her sister to participate in any and everything. They are so much fun.

5. And, last but not least, DANCING with the girls. We dance ALOT! It's fun, it makes us laugh and it wears us out.


I hope your having a fun summer!

Walkin n'stuff

Awww....Home.

So with all this movin into our new house, I forgot that my pretty babies are growing up before my very eyes. We are getting settled in. Forgive my not-so-great picture taking abilities. They really don't do the house justice, but, you get the idea. There is still alot to do. Who knows, maybe this weekend will be a trip to Home Depot or Bed Bath and Beyond. I don't know if there will be enough time.

What I do know is that my girlie's LOVE their new home!

Jillian decided to start walking during all the upheaval. I think she got tired of watching her sister do everything, so she started getting into her own trouble. I think she spent the last year watching her sister, and now she is going to top everything that Becca has ever done. She's a climber, Becca was not a climber. Oh Boy, falling off the bed will probably be small potatoes. But she's lovin every minute of keeping up with her sister, and I'm loving every minute of watching her.



Becca still gasps every time we pull up our driveway, like it's the first time she's seeing her new home. She can't wait to go see her pink room and get into her big girl bed. She loves being outside and running around like a kid should. She loves that Santa has a fireplace to come down (yes, I antagonize everything Christmas)! She loves to look out the window at the humming birds and the lizards. She just loves being Home..... I love that. And somewhere, in all of this, she has really grown up. She's my Mini Me....

The tatoo is fake, just FYI!

Boots

I don't know about you, but I love and adore my cowgirl boots. They are by far my most favorite foot wear of all time. These particular boots have been alot of wonderful places. They were my first pair and are like old friends. I'm looking forward to spending more time in them as the weather cools off this fall. Perhaps they will have new adventures in store.

If you've never owned a pair, trust me, you will not be sorry. Some of my favorite boot designers are Lucchese, Old Gringo, and Justin. You'll feel a little sassy, just try some on and tell me you don't.

This one hurt.

It was Fathers Day, we were packing up our house and taking a load up to the new Casa and Travis and I were looking forward to sitting down on the porch at Papa's and Mom's for some bbq and relaxation. But first, a little drama.
Our sweet girl had to trip up on her feet and fall down the outside stairs, where she kissed the pavement with her forehead, cheek and nose.


Yeah, it looks like we beat her up! Dang it! Things were pretty dramatic for about 30 mintues. Then, it was back to normal, for her at least.
So we opened presents, which was pretty cute. Aunt Sheshe and Uncle Geno thought they would be funny and get Travis a new fishin pole. Guess who LOVED it, and has become quite a pro at casting?

I think that was the best fathers day yet. Travis is so proud her very advanced fishing abilities.


HAPPY FATHERS DAY DADDY!
We Love You.
