This is great

My Dad just informed me that his outfit is a womans one piece, size 8.
Retro day at Sundance.

My Dad is such a babe

I love my Dad. He is seriously so funny, and dependable, and awesome. And just so you know this IS a costume.

10 random things about me....

1. I don't eat the ends of my french fries unless they are square because if they are pointy that means they are crunchy and I just don't like them crunchy!

2. I have had 10 root canals and trust me they are NO fun!

3. I make something new almost everyday (I love making things), whether it is food, sewing, crocheting, or just anything. Today was a fabric covered tea pot and a crocheted hot pad, yesterday was fabulous cupcakes, and the day before that was a swaddling blanket.

4. My back hurts all the time. I don't know if it's from bending over my sewing machine or if it's from carrying my 20 pound son. Luckily I have a good husband who will rub all the knots out for me!

5. I wish I could come out with my own baby clothing line. I'm going to tell you but nobody better steal my idea! Picture every color... brown, gray, yellow, orange, teal, white, black, tan... and every other color in the rainbow. Onsies, pants, shorts, t shirts, and beanies, all matching in every color with no design just solid color. A basic line so you can mix and match with other clothing or just mix with other colors. One day.

6. I loved being pregnant. It's the neatest thing I have ever gone through. I tell Dave I am really sad he will never get to experience it! There is nothing like feeling that baby move inside you and the crazy anticipation you feel awaiting the big arrival. It's so amazing what a womans body can do... after giving birth I feel like a super hero.

7. I don't like going to sleep with my closet doors open. I'm afraid some creepy man (Or goblin) is going to sneak out of there in the middle of the night and grab me. Ewe scary. One time I woke to noises coming from the closet doors so I made Dave get up and see what, or who it was, and luckily, it was just Meatloaf our kitty.

8. I like expensive things. I wish I didn't, but I do. Right now I am dreaming of a new Coach purse, new Anthropologie bedding, and maybe some Jimmy Choo sandals... ha ha.

9. I love, love, love romantic movies or television shows. If it has a good love story, count me in. I never liked The office but once I found out there was a titch of romance between Pam and Jim I was all about it and have loved the show ever since. My recent favorite movie, Enchanted, it is such a cute movie.

10. I secretly (Maybe) have a good singing voice. Dave tells me I should try out for American Idol, but a lot of the times I can't tell whether he is serious or kidding. I do love to sing and Noah seems to like it. So maybe... he's right!? you'll probably never find out because I am too shy to sing in front of anyone!

Thanks to Ashley for the tag.
Now I tag Carli, Kelly, Lynn, and Sara. 10 random things or make up your own.

Jealous

I am 100% jealous of this girls cupcake making skills... she is amazing. Lucky for me she works in Orange county, I was hoping she could do Noah's birthday but sadly, she is already booked! Maybe Dave's graduation? I'll make any excuse for a cupcake this cute!

Always making something

I made these little initial shirts for one of Dave's co-workers little boys. They sent us a thank you card with this picture inside... it's so fun to see your work put to good use! Aren't they darling little boys?

So much fun

Carli, Preston and Reece came to visit for a whole week! It was a blast.
We went to the San Diego zoo, Los Angeles garment district, Disneyland and shopping. Noah and his cousins had so much fun playing together! We were so sad to see them go! These are just a couple pictures of our fun with the photo booth! I'll post more pictures later!

My recent fav's

Satsuma soap from the body shop. The smell lingers and lingers. It's wonderful! I find myself sniffing my (Clean) hands all day.

My Garmin GPS. I feel so secure knowing I won't, and can't get lost. Dave and the GPS have a love/hate relationship, he thinks she repeats herself too much... I think she's perfect. One time (Without the GPS in my life) I drove an hour and a half in the wrong direction, I love knowing that will never ever happen again.





Retro inspired bathing suits. Since my trip to Hawaii is quickly approaching, it gives me such a good excuse to buy a couple new bathing suits. I love the way these fit and the way they cover your bum! Glad to see that modest, but cute bathing suits are in!
