I wanna soak up the sun......

What a fun little weekend. Alicia and I went to a sweet little shower for our friend April who is getting married in June. It was a breakfast tea, which is a great way to throw a party. Not to early, not to late, it was just right! Sweet little tea cups at every seat, delicious looking pastries and goodies. We caught up with friends we hadn't seen in awhile. I got alot of compliments on my jewelry that I bought from HERE, and my fun little throw all bag from HERE. I told my giriles I'd post some links so you can go browse for yourself.

Sunday was so much fun too. We spent the day soaking up the sun at a pool party for a little man's birthday. I love spending time with those girls. They make me feel comfy and loved. My two little squirts went swimming with their Daddy. Little squirt didn't like it as much a big squirt! But they were sure tuckered out by the end of the day! We talked about all sorts of girlie things. We chatted about everything from babies and teenagers to be, to hair and nails! Speaking of hair, this is my #1 must have summer essential for anyone I know! If I made millions I'd buy you all a bottle of this luscious, ridiculously good smelling oil for you hair! It's the original stuff in the neat apothecary bottle! It makes your hair so soft, protected and loved! It's even good on cuticles. Go get it, you can thank me later!

Even though we ended our fun little weekend with two whopper colds, I think it was still fun. I love seeing my girls smile and having a good time. I hope we have more fun little weekends from now till the end of summer. While it's not my most favorite time of year, it still has some pretty good perks!

Cake, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

This series of pictures speak for themselves. I think it's funny that she didn't even care that I was near and taking pictures of her.

She LOVES german chocolate cake at grandma's.

Silly.....

6 months going on Wide Receiver

Our sweet little man is 6 months old! We couldn't resist a little party in honor of that milestone. I don't think Jackson thought the cake was such a great idea, but we sure put some time into that little gem, let me tell ya! Isn't it cute!!! A little charger cake for our Thunder Bolt!

Jackson is so much fun. Just to give you a few stats, he's weighing in around 26lbs, one tooth, lots of drool, sitting up, smiling ALL THE TIME, and loves to have his checks played with (the ones on his face, stop IT!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY! WE LOVE YOU!

I can't help myself......

I LOVE LOVE LOVE a little site called ETSY. It's an addicition that has sucked me into it's wonderfulness. Nothing, I repeat, NOTHING is as wonderful as things made from people's hearts. I could spend hours just browsing through the little shops. People are so creative. I used some of my favorites to make a little "Table Scape" (Sandra Lee would be proud!) for Easter/Spring. Look look look at that cute little print of little girls twirling........ we should all stop and twirl for a moment.



Here it is close up. Precious, I know.



Oh, and here is that sweet little row of houses hanging from the corner of that pic. Don't you just love the colors! I got that from my one of my fav little etsy shops called LEMONTREE STUDIOS. Check it out too.

I bet there is something that you could find to springy up your house too! Have fun, and be warned! You WILL become addicted too.

Happy Peeking.

Simple Pleasures

This is what being a kid is all about. No worries, no stress. Just sitting by the edge of the water feeding the ducks. I hope her life is always filled with Simple Pleasures like this.

Our Sunday Best?

Easter was such a fun day, after our little mishap in Church. Of course, the place was packed, kids were dressed in their best, and tantrums were on the brain. The morning was filled with lots of Dad's taking crying children out to the "patio" to straighten up! We were one of those...

But once we got past that, It was a really fun day. We went to Grandma and Popa's for Easter Egg hunting, Baskets, Dinner and JJ's 6 month birthday. It was a day filled with Smiles and giggles and really cool Easter Baskets.

We Traveled a Friggen Far.....

Whew! What a weekend! It was so sun shinny! I'm glad to see that my order for "not to hot, not to cold" was met. We
stayed in Point Loma for Grandma's Big Birthday. There was a perfect little park for flying kites, playing soccer and just plain soaking up the sun. And thats exactly what we did. Becca LOVED flying her kite. She was fascinated with that thing up in the air. It was pretty funny when she would let go of the little string and see her daddy go running for dear life! I mean, come on, his little girls kite couldn't end up in the water.

Grandma enjoyed having ALL her kids in one place with all their kids. It was just what we all needed. Not to mention that inland North County, i.e. Escondido, was as hot He** while we were gone. Dog gone wacky weather, seriously, it's like 300 degrees today! I'm not made to sweat like this. It's stinky, gross and stinky.

I guess it's a good thing I have the best Air Conditioning ever!

Our whirlwind of a weekend started on Friday with a very long car ride to Yucca Valley. To try and explain this, think of having to drive to the ends of the earth, and then, you have to climb over one last hill to get to your destination. You see, Morengo Valley was the ends of the earth, off the 10, heading out towards 29 palms. Well, Mornego Valley was the ends of the earth. Even the green succulents were a shade of tan. It was all a shade of tan. All hot and bumpy and tan....BLAH So, then, off in the distance, further down the road is a Long A** Hill. Dang if we didn't have to drive up it to get to Yucca Valley on the other side!

There is a point to this......

In Yucca Valley there is a place called Yucca Valley Ford. At this point, all I knew is that there better be some kind of civilization over that hill, past the end of the earth. Target, Walmart, SOMETHING! You see, Travis has been hunting, because that's what he does. He's been hunting for a new car for his sweetie. And, he found the deal of the century, but we were going to have to take a little drive. The beginning of the Trek was good, but at this point I was starting to have my doubts. But, there, in the gleam of the hot desert sun was my new baby.


I haven't named her. She sure is purty though. She has power windows and the fan works at 1 & 2. I love her. She completes me.

The trip was worth it. I'm glad we traveled past the ends of the earth for her.
