Pinterest Creation

So I told my sister I would make her a few things from Pinterest and I finally made one for her after making a dew things for myself.  Here is the centerpiece I made for her.....

This was super super easy, I just took a few bottles of alcohol we had drank the night before hahaha and spray painted them white...then I let them dry.  Once they were dry I sprayed them with tacky glue and rolled them in epsom salt to get the snow effect.  Once that was done I took the filler at the top I bought at Michaels and then put some epsom salt at the bottom and some orniments...THAT'S IT!!!!!

Can't wait to see my next Pinterest Creation. 

Thanksgiving 2011

HAPPY THANKSGIVING



So this year we headed over to my sister Erin's house for thanksgiving.  Of course once again we cooked way too much food and had way too much left overs.  Oh and of course I ate too much again and again the next day with those damn leftovers.  However other than gaining a million pounds we had a wonderful thanksgiving with our family.

We of course made the normal sides but this time tried a new cream corn receipe....Yummmy is all i have to say.  We also decided to rotisserie the turkey's this year.  So on wednesday mom and I cleaned them up and started the 24 hour brine so it would be ready to go for Ryan and Erin to put them on the rotisserie.  Mom and I also nade three of the sides on wednesday so Thursday we only had the potatoes and corn to make. On top of all that food, Ryan decided to smoke salmon.....this had to be the best salmon I have ever eaten....it was amazing.

We had a great time with the family and Gavin had a wonderful time running around the house playing with his cousins.  After dinner we made a Thanksgiving art project with all of the kids and played a little family poker game......where Adam and I took 1st and 2nd....so not a bad thamksgiving at all.

Now it is time to finish the Christmas shopping which I am pretty much done and plan the next meal for Christmas Day.  I love the holiday season.

First Haircut and Chuck E Cheese, a day I thought was gonna be fun.....hahaha not so much!!

So last tuesday my sister asked me to go with her to Chuck E Cheese with the girls and a friend from Britney's class so I thought what the heck Gavin would love it there and it would be his first time.  So we packed up the car and headed over. We got inside and he was super happy and was looking around at everything.  We ate lunch then we let the kids go play...I decided to take Gav over to the little kid section where he could ride a few things cause he didn't know how to play the games with tokens.  I thought he would have so much fun cause he loves to ride the rides at Disneyland and the Fair.....ummmmm not so much this time......hahaha here are the pictures to prove it...

Seriously mom....

WTF...Get me off here mom!!!

Not only did I begin the day with my kid crying I also ended the day with him crying.  I have been putting off my kids 1st haircut cause I thought once you cut it he is not my little baby boy anymore.  However, I put my big girl panties on and I decided to get it done.  It was time for a change and to get rid of the old man combover hahaha.

So we headed to Channel's salon cause I wanted to make sure I knew the person who was gonna be cutting my baby boy's hair, so auntie TT booked the appointment at the same time she was gonna be getting her hair done so it was a little helpful to have her hold my hand to get his hair cut lol.  Oh and of course we needed it to be a photoshoot cause I don't think we have missed one thing on this kid yet hahaha. 

I thought this 1st haircut was gonna be fun and easy....ummmmm if you didn't see it with your own eyes and could only hear it you would think we were beating the child....he hated it soooooo much...here is a little timeline of pictures as the haircut process begun.....we had to stop shooting when auntie TT had to put him in a headlock to keep him still hahaha you know momma couldn't do it lol.....



Sitting like a big boy in the chair...

Hi TT this is fun......

WTH mom what is she doing???

Here is the first cut.....

Mommy I hate this....not even eating his MnM's this was a bad thing.....

I am soooo mad at you guys....

Seriously enough with the photo's I am so mad at you.....

Ok I still love you guys...

I hope next time he is a little happier when he gets his haircut......I love it now he doesn't look like an old man and I can finally style his hair again.  Love you sooooo much little buggy.  You will still be mommy's baby boy even with a big boy haircut and all.

~XOXO~

It's a Celebration Day.....

So today we started off the day heading to Britney's school to surprise her at her awards assembly.  She was receiving an award and she didn't know it and she had no clue we would be there to watch.  We are so proud of her she got an award for best Oral Presentaions of her class...

Not only did we celebrate Britney's award but today was also a very special Birthday.  Today was my dad's birthday.  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful father.  He is the most loving, caring, amazing, generous father a girl could ask for.

We love you Dad Happy Birthday......

My new ADDICTION!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I noticed a few posts from friends about this website and I didn't think anything about it.  I then remembered a few days later cause they were still talking about it, so I decided to head over and see what it was about.  At first I didn't really understand it until I realized how it worked......let me tell you that was a bad idea hahahaha.  This website is AMAZING.....it is the best place to find do it yourself craft ideas, decor for the home, food and any idea you name it, it is on here.  So now that I can't get myself off this website I finally decided to try a craft project to see if I can really do it.......  I have now finished two and I am on the third one hahahaha I should have never gone on this website.

Thank you Pinterest for taking up my time and not letting me sleep at night......I am super excited though cause now I have great ideas for the home....now I just need a fat wallet to pay for it all hahaha...

My first DIY project:

Wooden Craft Circle

Ribbon

That's it!!!

So that is only two of the many many projects I want to try.....this is gonna be fun!!!

No Name Baby Girl Has Arrived.....

So one of my good friends Jackie had her beautiful baby girl this past tuesday.  The entire pregnancy we asked her what her name was gonna be and she wouldn't tell us.  She gave us a few but wouldn't settle on one so we called her the no name baby girl. 

So when she finally had her we were texting her all day to finally figure out what she was gonna name her and of course Jackie still didn't have a name.  It wasn't until the next morning when they were about to go home that she finally told us..........

Welcome to the World Baby Cambria!!!!!!

Beautiful.....

Love her already.....

Baby girl with her Auntie Mandi and Booty...

Celebrating the Birthdays of two amazing me in my life!!!

So last night we got the whole family over to celebrate Adam and Dad's b-days.  Since they are only a few days apart we combined them to make it a little easier to all get together.  We had a blast watching all the kids playing together and celebrating. 

So I suprised Adam this year with a gift that he mentioned a few days prior about.  It was this expensive Golf Simulator called the Optishot and the look on his face was priceless.  I had my mom wrap it and hide it for me.  Since it was a lot of money she decided to wrap it in both birthday and christmas wrap cause it's a present for both hahaha.  It was pretty funny.....

He got to his christmas wrap and I told him he had to wait hahahaha....

Shocked I got this for him.....



After he opened that I had Gavin give him the present he got his daddy.......it was too cute he loved helping daddy open the gift.  He got dad a set of Sponge Bob golf balls hahaha.

Heping Daddy....

After a little gift opening we ate some dinner, opened more presents and sung happy birthday....
