Bowling

Dave and I used to be bowlers. Dustin and Chelsea used to call us up at least once a week to hit up the bowling alley, but now that they've moved and we both have kids we just don't get around to it as much. Last night we decided it had been too long so we packed up our balls (Yes we have our own balls and shoes) and our little man and headed to the bowling alley. We got out of the car, packed everything up and to our surprise... it was closed for a private party. Thats just our luck. Guess we could have tried another place but that was already too much work! Maybe we'll try again next week.

Thank you Mama

An early Christmas gift, so glad I get to use it through the holidays. It's a Cricut, by the way.

Coming soon

I have big plans to open a little Etsy shop. Thanks for the encouraging comments. I'll let you know when it's up and running.

Cutie

I made this dress for my cousin Barb's baby girl, Ava. I love to see my hard work put to good use! She's darling.

The beach

We celebrated Ryan's homecoming (From Iraq) at the beach this weekend with lots of good friends. Ryan and Jen sure know how to throw a good party!

Guests

We have little guesties (Danny and Heidi) here and when we have visitors that means major cleaning. I really don't mind cleaning, I just don't love it. Luckily my hubby is good at it and very willing to help. So yesterday we had the carpets cleaned and they look wonderful... thank you Chem-dry. And today I had the duty of putting everything back together, fun fun fun. Sometimes I feel like I need my Mom here to tell me I can't get on my computer or sew or eat until my chores are finished! I am easily distracted. But I conquered the duty and now it's time to have fun! Mission completed.

Rararpress

I love the original and silly postcards from Rararpress. They even send your items in a sweet looking thank you bag with dinosaurs frying eggs on the front. Random, I know, but awesome. My personal fav is the "Stichin is Bitchin" Check them out HERE.

DJ's visit

I'm so sad my little buddy is gone! It was so fun getting up every morning knowing he was downstairs, sleeping on the recliner ready to make my day. We had a blast, I'm gonna miss my little bro!

Babies babies babies

She's got twin girls in there!

All my girlfriends are having babies! 3 in this picture are pregnant. This was at Alicia's shower, she got SO much good stuff! I can't wait to see all the little babes!

An awesome night at Disneyland

The temperature was perfect, there were hardly any people and no lines! We got on Nemo in 5 minutes! But that was in the wheelchair line (The regular line was only 30 minutes though). We had so much fun and we're sad our little "Front of the lines" buddy will be gone soon!

9.5.08

It's my big sisters birthday! I am so lucky to have this girlie in my life, she is such a good Mom, friend, and sister. She is dependable, funny, and generous. I love her dearly! Hope your day is wicked awesome!

Today

Brynn and Dustin's wedding

Brynn is one of my very best girlfriends and I had the privilege of getting her ready for her big day. The wedding was in Los Olivos, and oh my gosh was it gorgeous! The town is so darling. The wedding took place at an old Market and had a huge hay field next to it. It was a dream wedding and I'm sure she was so happy with the turn out. The bride looked amazing and the day was beautiful. I'm so happy for them.
