BFFE...hahaha

This was one of the best weekends of my life! There is something about your oldest bestest friends that makes you feel so comfortable and happy with yourself! The side effects are that you might sometimes act like you are 12 because that is when you started up these amazing friendships...so worth it! I am so grateful to my amazingly talented friend Brittney (and her gorilla camera stand) for the most amazing pictures ever! My whole life is documented by Brittney Gurr photography, if it wasn't for her I would have no proof of the memories I have made over the last 13 years! I love you Brittney!!!!!! and seriously thank you!

Friday was our first day together and we headed for L.A. Our first stop was the fashion district

for $5 sunglasses and little treasures! I don't know if everyone knows this but Celine Dion is my hero...haha! I grew up singing it with my mom and she just stuck...uh if I could sing like her I would die.

We headed home that same day and got gussied up for our fancy dinner (fancy meaning we didn't have kids) We went to El Toritto Grill A-MAZ-ING!

The next day we went to the swapmeet in the morning grabbed corndogs for lunch and read on the beach for the rest of the afternoon! NO KIDS I mean life is completely different I had totally forgotten what it meant to relax!! Loved it

Sunday our sweet Chelsea went home and we decided we would rest our bodies for Disneyland, so we hit up this amazing park by my house and ate and lounged around! We did so much eating this weekend I had to detox for days after they left...haha

What can I say? I love pringles

Eat and eat and eat! TK burger was my favorite of the weekend

DISNEYLAND!!!! It was the best day ever! From 10 am to 9 pm we never sat down and we never waited for more than 15min in any line!!!! I KNOW it was awesome! I had blisters on my feet by the end of the day but it was totally worth it!

I can not believe they brought back the Michael Jackson video! I danced my but off...it brought back so many memories! I love you girls sosososososososo much I am so lucky to have the five best high school friends ever(missed you tiff) I love you girls so much! See you in Seattle next year!

Not last weekend but the weekend before we went back to good old Arizona! oh don't worry I cried when we reached the 202 because I had missed it so much! What can I say I love Arizona and the 25 years of life it holds for me! Anyway Peighter had the worlds best weekend hanging out with her favorite cousin in the whole world Rylee!

They were hillarious together! They got along for the most part and they loved to copy eachother if one of them squeeled the other would copy it! The best was when one of them would growl the other would copy and it would go on for like thirty minutes! hahaha we all just watched and laughed! I love my beautiful little niece...seriously she is so beautiful and sweet as can be! Her mom is also amazing with her! I love my sis in law so much and am so happy we had our little angels close together so they can grow up and be best friends! I love you Kerr and can't wait to meet your knew little baby girl that is growing in your tummy! Thanks for making me an aunt again!

She is seriously so spoiled at her grammy's house and she loves it! There are toys galore and even more hugs and kisses! I don't want to brag too much but I might possibly have the best in laws and the best mother in law\grammy in the whole world! When P is with her I don't worry about her one bit she knows I am a little crazy and she will literally do what ever I ask her no matter how crazy:)! She is an angel..an actual angel sent form heaven! I get emotional just thinking about her. she is one of the most selfless people I have ever known and she is always there to listen to me when I need her! We love you grammy and grandpa! Thanks for the best weekend ever!

Three weekends ago we decided to go to Sea World as a family. It was our second time going so we already knew that miss P was obsessed with shamu (who she just lovingly refers to as mu).

They have this cool kids place filled with all the Sesame Street characters...Melmo being her favorite of course! She had so much fun bouncing around with all the other kids her age! All I can do is think about all the germs that must be all over that bouncy thing!!!eeeeww!

We bought her her first shamu stuffed animal and now she litterally sleeps with him every night!!

Oh yeah and there was this amazing new show called Blue Horizons and it had dolphins and whales and birds and trapeeze artists it was awesome!

18 months and a new room

For P's half birthday I decided I should finish her room! It turned out cute...I am still trying to decide if I can live with the white walls! See it goes against everything I believe to have whiet walls in my house but I have burned out from painting and it is so hard to paint her room because i usually paint while she sleeps to avoid messes and I can't do that with her room...obviously! So i decided maybe I could add enough color with accessories! I just bought that chandelier sticky thing yesterday and hung it on the wall but it looked so boring so I went out in my garage and found this magnet board I had and decided to rip it out and use the frame. The frame was light enough that i could nail through it so it was secure on the wall (don't want miss P pulling it down). I then sprayed it metalic aged it and glazed it! Still something was missing so I busted out the aqua paint and watered some down rubbed it on the wall and wiped it away to my liking. Then I used the trust Tabacco glaze from ralph lauren(use it to age everything I am so in love) to make it look old and weathered! I love the end product! the pictures next to it need to be changed out or sconces need to be there instead!

Please ignore the pillows on the chaise...they need to be replaced! I am on it!

My sweet little baby girl turned 18months old yesterday! I can not believe it she really isn't a baby anymore she is a full grown toddler! She has opinions about what she wears and she makes goofy faces and thinks falling over is just about the most hillarious thing that ever happened! Wierd and goofy...my little toddler!

I decided she could have her first pigtails!! She actually loved them! but the pic is terrible!

Look at those eyes! she is such a big girl! She even gave up bottles and sippies for naps and ni nights just kitty(hello kitty doll) and a blankie and she is good! It was way easier then I expected! So proud of her!

Family weekend

P was a trooper when we were shopping! She actually loves her strolla as she calls it and is the best little friend to take shopping!

Miss P is the biggest beach lover I have ever met! She loved playing with Cole in the sand

This weekend my sister came to visit so the whole fam got together a lot...on saturday we went to the Orange County swap meet, where we shopped till we dropped! There was so much fun stuff, including the hat miss P is wearing in these pictures! On sunday we went to church all together and then hit the beach for a little sunny relaxation. Monday we hit irvine spectrum mall and shopped the entire day...again:) followed by ice cream at Balboa Island and another tearful goodbye! A weekend just isn't long enough! We miss you ra ra! love you

That's my baby

I love this little girl so much! I had a moment with her today when she bumped her head....she instantly started crying mommy mommy and looking at me to make it better! It brought back a flood of memories of when I was taking care of other peoples babies for a living and I really loved them but everytime they would get hurt it wasn't my name they cried it was always their mommies. I would feel a little twinge of pain and long for the day I could be on the recieving end of one of those cries for help, and although today wasn't the first time it has happened it just made me remember how much I love being the mommy and how much I love this kid! I love you little bug!

Before and After

Ok so I totally ruinded the suspence because the after pictures are on top! hahaha but what was once an all whiet bathroom is now a little milk chocolate paradise! Tis is the guest bathroom and miss P's bathroom so i wanted it to be girlie but not pink. I loved the little 70's chandelier that was alreadt in there so I went for a vintage aged feel with all the little accesories to match! It is better in person! hope you enjoy!

Be our guest

It is pretty much ready for you! You being first my sissy who is coming up next weekend and also my 5 besties who are coming in September! I am on a thrift store hunt for a yummy headboard but instead today I found that little endtable and gave it a face lift! I love the shape of it and the little opening in it! I hate my dresser in that room because it is so big but it has to work for now! oh and I am obsessed with my duvet and pillows just a little country from Ikea...so cheap too, love it!
