Family Night

We made these awesome Easter hats and followed Tori around the house doing the bunny hop. I'm think I'm going to start selling them on Etsy. What do you think?

Nice Weather!

I'm so happy for the nice weather. Tori and her friend Keia love playing outside and running through water.


I feel like summer is going to come too fast. My only wish now is to not blind people with my white legs. Poor Tori inherited that from me too!

My Princess Turns Three!


Today was Tori's birthday and she wanted (Okay, I did) a princess party. Her friends arrived in princess attire and were the cutest things ever. It was actually such a laid back party. All of the girls were so calm and quiet. Tori did her normal present opening where she is so dramatic that she sounds like she is crying, but she's trying to show how excited she is. There was dancing, a pinata that fell down before the candy did, pin the crown on the princess, a cupcake cake that only Tori ate in five seconds while the other girls daintily ate in 15 minutes, princess crafts, and of course a princess photo shoot. After the girls left Tori crashed on the couch. Here's a montage of the party.


Happy Birthday my sweet Princess!

Laundry I actually Love!



I seriously hate laundry! I always wait too long in between to wash loads so I have to do 6 loads in one day. But for some reason the putting away is the most annoying part of it. Then I get all of it done and feel accomplished, and two days later I'm behing again! I hope in heaven our clothes never have to be washed.

Lady in gold onesie!

Happy Birthday Jaime, I miss you! This video is for you. Everyone else needs to watch it too because you will die when you realize this girl does this for a living.

My brother is in a band and this girl is playing after him tonight. I guess she's on tour from Iowa. It's a little long but you won't be able to stop watching because she is freakin hilarious. Seriously, this girl is crazy!

Biting Problems!

I couldn't resist adding these pictures just because.

Tori has a problem accidentally biting her finger sometimes when she's putting food into her mouth. Wierd I know! Has this ever happened to anyone else's kid? She bites it hard enough to start crying hysterically, and I have to try not to laugh. The video below is really for my mom, who will let me show her anything my kids do and think its cute. Isn't that what mom's are for? Like when they're newborns and you can call your mom to tell her how proud you are of your baby's poop because that means she's not constipated. And she'll be so interested in it..

You'll think I'm such a great mom for the song I'm trying to get Tori to sing. She has her own plans though.

Can I say Baldy!

Tag Smag!

Who the heck ever even started this tag buisness. So childish!J/K
Six things unknown to the people who know me:


1. I'm one of the most creative people you will ever meet.
2. Everyone wants to be my friend because of this.
3. I'm a great mother and perfect wife.
4. My nickname is Martha Stewart.
5. I always eat healthy and workout vigorously everyday.
6. I am a very spiritual and humble person.


Oh wait I forgot it was supposed to be things that you didn't know about me. Let me start again!
1. My favorite barbie name as a kid was Gwendolyn (So beautiful, I know)
2. I met Raven Samone at Knotts Berry farm when I was like 11 years old. (Who is that? Well she was the cute little girl on the Cosby's, That's so Raven, and The Cheetah Girls.) I had her sign my ticket stub. I know, I was so star struck.
3. I never had a "boyfriend" until Brett. No, I wasn't a nerd, I just never liked a guy long enough to want him as a boyfriend.
4. I love freshly squeezed grapefruit juice.
5. I was in a highschool beauty padgeant when I lived in Kentucky. (After it was over my sister and I swore never to do anything like that again!)
6. I love making new friends, and not just casual ones. I love making really good new life long friends. (It has to do with moving so much a kid.)
I guess I'm supposed to Tag someone else so I want to tag Krytal, Linae, Missy, and Sheba.

She Bit Me!

That first lovely picture is a bite mark on my shoulder. I was in the bathroom with my two girls, and Tori started falling off the make-up bench. It was like slow motion. She fell to the ground and hit her head. So I picked her up and tried to comfort her, but all the sudden I realized she was biting my shoulder. So I set her down and almost started crying myself. She just bit down as a reflex, not knowing my flesh was in her teeth. Later I was teasing saying, "Tori, why did you bite me?" And Tori said, "I thought you were food!"
I took Taylor to her four month appointment and surprisingly found out she is in the 96th percentile in height and 78th in weight. This is so foreign to me because Tori was barely on the charts in weight and average in height. Anyways, I wanted to capture the eight rolls on her stomach.

Little Chunkster!

No, I'm not bored! Well, kind of.

Tori came down the stairs like this. My fairy bag lady.

And too cool for school baby.

Sup?

Tutu Time




For Valentines Day my friend Kendra and I made tutu's for our girls. They love them. It only took like 15 hours and I could of just bought them for 18 dollars and I paid 20, but what's the fun in no stress! Once I'm in the project I'm always wondering what I was thinking!
I had to add this cute picture of the girls with their dad. And don't tell me that Taylor looks just like Brett too!

Valentine Post

I think this is the best picture I have taken of these two. I can't believe they were both looking at me and smiling! My little baby has been sooo good to me and Tori has been such a sweetheart. I have seriously been in heaven lately with these girls. When I look at this picture it reminds me that even though I can feel exhausted and tired from all the work that seems to go unnoticed as a mom, that its worth it. I'm sure next week I tell you my kids have the flu and I'm going insane, but for this moment it's all good!

Girls Trip!

I just went on a girls trip to Newport Beach this past week. I went with my friend Heidi and a bunch of girls in her ward. I went last year so I already new a lot the girls this time. Girls trips are the funnest things ever. It's like I forgot that your stomach can start hurting from laughing so much. Before I left I was so excited to go and get a full nights sleep with out a baby. Little did I know that we weren't gonna go to sleep earlier than 3:00 am every night. Brett asked me what we were doing that made us stay up so late and pretty much it's a vacation for talking and laughing. I don't know why it's so fun to get ready for 3 hours to go on a bike ride but it is! I also don't know why when a bunch of girls get together it's fun to do the "diva" poses, but it is. I made some really good friends this trip (you know who you are-my preeecious!) We ate mexican food at least once a day. Our eating schedule was breakfast at 11:00, lunch at 4:00, and dinner at 10:00. My body is so messed up right now. I'll probably wake up tonight for a midnight snack! Here is a montage of our trip. Excuse all the "diva" poses, we were pretendig we were the the desperate housewives of Orange County.J/K

My embarrassing moments of the trip!



This is a lame re-enactment of when we were all walking and I ran into this post. Even strangers were laughing at me because of the noise I made when my legs hit it.


Last girls trip I bought some gas x for the first time because I know that eating out hurts my stomach if I not able to release gassous properties from my body, and I didn't want to do that around a bunch of girls. So this year it was a must have purchase. Needless to say they were passed around like breathmints. Anyways, when we were leaving the beach house I put all the extras in my pocket because they aren't cheap. Note to self: Don't leave in pocket when walking through metal detectors! At the airport when I set the metal detector off I had to pretend that I totally wasn't embarrassed about having to take them out of my pocket and putt them back through the xray machine. Lovely!

I parked my car at the airport so that I could leave from there because we were getting home to late for Brett to bring the kids to pick me up. When I went to pick up my car the battery was dead because I left the dome light on. I was so mad at myself! I was also going to bring one other girl home. So now 7 girls and about 20 bags of luggage( no exaggeration) had to fit into Heidi's Suv. We were all sitting on laps with the luggage packed to the ceiling. We decided it was a good my friend way to top the trip!
