Sweetpea's Field trip.

Sweetpea had 2 field trips in the last 2 weeks. I was able to chaperon for both. I really had alot of fun. The kids in her class are great. I had the honor of watching 4 of them (including Sweetpea). We laughed and played and had a really good time.

School Project

Here is Sunshine's rainbow projectfor school. We used the 6 colors of the rainbow and made a fish tank. WE used egg cartons for the heads. Sunshine did all the painting and gluing and sure had alot of fun. I cut all the felt pieces and drew the bubbles and sea weed.

Sunshine's new bike.

Sunshine got a new bike from her Uncle & Aunt. She was so excited when they brought this in at her party. Some of her friends were really excited too.. LOL

Yesterday was Honey's birthday... what a sweet day it was

We enjoyed a peaceful day just the two of us then dinner as a family. Nana joined us for dinner too. Sunshine has begun to start "it's my way or the highway phase". Which means alot more eatting at home. We also went through this Sweetpea at age 3 LOL .. hopefully Sunshine's won't last as long. Happy Birthday Honey !! Hope you enjoyed your day.

October is ..

Pregnancy and Infant loss awareness month. We will always remember the forever babies in our lives.
We love and miss you all everyday, And to all the sweet babies gone too soon. Kisses to Heaven.

Sunshine turns 3

October 1st, 2006 ~ My sweet baby girl was born. What can I say about Sunshine ? She has a smile that lights up a room, but she makes you earn it.

Her dimples are the sweetest things ever. She is caring, affectionate and has passion for life. She wants to know about everything, why, how when ?? She is also demanding and know what she wants from the moment her sweet heads lift from her pillow in the morning. (Or my pillow, as most mornings she sneeks into my room at 3 am and finishes the last 4 hours of sleep. She LOVES chocolate milk so much she named her new baby doll that. Though she told her doctor at her 3 year appointment, green beans were her favorite. LOL ... She's a cowgirl, a princess, a mermaid and chef all in one. She's our Sunshine !

~ Happy Birthday Sunshine ~

White picket fence

Does anyone have these anymore ? As far back as I can remember I dreamed of a house full of kids, a cute little dog and a house with a white picket fence. But really does that happen anymore ? I love the look !! I have the 2 beautiful girls and a great honey. The dog is in the planning after the move but will I ever get the white picket fence ?

Oregon here we come ??

I can't wait to move to Oregon. sigh.... we just feel like we are wasting time. Hope the wait isn't too much longer.

My sweet Sunshine has Asthma

At Sunshine's 3 year appointment they discovered she has asthma. We had a slight hint that she might. She would cough when ever she excerted herself. So far the inhaler seems to be working but she will have a check up in just over 2 weeks to see if we need to add singulair to the mix as well. I know this dry desert air doesn't help her at all.

OMG... I have a crush ... lol and my husband knows ALL about it.

Honey bought us tickets for the Jason Aldean concert. It was such a good time. We went to the Radio stations 95.5 Pre Party show at the Mandalay Bay just before the concert. I WON !!! 2 cabana tickets to view the show with the DJ's. Honey enjoyed himself and actually admitted to liking some country songs. LOL .. and I think he's a new Jason Aldean fan.

Anyway to the Crush, YES ! I LOVE Jason Aldean. He's cute, sexy, funny and a GREAT country artist. Just check out some of his songs and you will see !

School time !

Sweetpea starts back to school on the 24th. She is very excited about starting 1st grade. I still can't believe it and a little mama paranoia has set in.
I even had a dream/ nightmare about it last night. She will be gone all day, even have lunch at school. ((((SIGH)))) They grow up too fast.

My darling girl

She's sick but still sweet as ever. All she wanted to do was cuddle and love on her mommy when I got home from work today. We watched a movie together that I borrowed from a girl at work and she loved it. It was funny the main character was named Tristen. Sweetpea kept pointing out that it's a girls name. LOL ... wait till she finds out what I have already realized ALOT of boys now have my name.

Silhouettes

I made these great Silohouettes of the girls yesterday. I love how they turned out. I wasn't sure I could cut that much detail but I did it !! They look great in the hallway. The light pink paper in the background is rose print. I really love how they turned out.

My new collection ?

Well, I have something in mind. I need to find, collect or get a few skeleton keys.
I love how they all look different, but still so the same. Hopefully I can find a few !

Just a few of the reasons I love my Husband

He Does Laundry

He cooks AND cleans

~ He LOVES Disneyland !! ~

He likes to Vaccum

He LOVES his girls ( me included)

and he is always my spell checker !! LOL ....

xoxox luv ya Honey !

for me !!

I have always loved angel pictures and statues but, Since losing my son Joseph 7 years ago it was hard to see them. I know what a true angel is now. I saw this yesterday at Home goods and just could not pass it up. Something about his sweet face drew me right too him. I love the fact that his wings frame him in a heart shape. Just another sign from my sweet boy.

My Mother's day surprise !

I slept in late, Honey made me waffles, with fresh strawberries and black berries topped with whipped cream. YUM !! Sweetpea wrote me a song that went kinda like this ...... It's mother's day and your the best mommy. I love you and your pretty. ooh ohh yeah. For mother's day I wrote this song. Then lots of oh's and la la's to finish it off. It was darling !! Sunshine said "happy mudder's day mama, yeah !" she was very proud that she followed through with the line daddy practiced with her. I recieved a beautiful vase, with a few shells and a star fish with some sea glass in it too. Sweetpea also made a cute block of wood frame with her kindergarten picture on it.

I would love to live in a beach cottage.

We are deciding how to redecorate things. I told Honey I would love to have a beach cottage look. I am really into the whole sabby chic thing too.

Sweetpea's birthday, what to do.

We still have nearly 2 months to go until Sweetpea turns 6, but we got her gift already.
This shabby chic vanity from target will be just great for her. I can't wait to see her face. So what's the problem you ask ? Her new bedroom set to totally white, and this is off white. I would love to distress it a little more and add pink. Or maybe just add some pink dry brush to make the off white color not so noticable. I just don't want to paint the whole thing a flat pink. Any tips ?

Tinker Bell and the girls

Princess Cinderella, Princess Sweetpea & Princess Sunshine

Sweetpea loves the tea cups, now Sunshine does too !!

Disneyland here we come !!

Just a couple more days until our Disneyland trip. I am super excited. So is Honey and the girls. I remember nearly 8 years ago when I had the hardest time talking Honey into going to Disneyland. He always thought it was "boooring". After I had my 2nd miscarriage in 3 months he agreed to go with me. We both needed that little time away to cheer our selves up and get a fresh start. It was a blast. We closed the park and now both have the fondest memories of our little get away there. We talked about one day taking our kids there. May of 2007 we went again. This time with the girls. It was just as magical. Maybe even more so. Now that they are both just a little older, I think this trip will be even more exciting !! Count down starts....... just 6 days until DISNEYLAND !!

My book.

It's coming along, but slowly. I am nearing the end. I need to work on editing some then have someone read the rough draft other than me and the hubby. I really need more hours in the day so I can work on getting it all typed up too. Book idea #2 and #3 are getting started too.

She's crafty...

That beasty boys song always cracks me up. Yeah, I'm crafty. So what ?

Here's my lastest project. It's for Sunshine's room.

Ah HA - the transformation is complete

Sweetpea loves her new room. I made the Quilt and pillow sham and my friend Sheila embriodered Sweetpea's name on the other pillow. The new dresser and bed just came. Honey and I spent our Annniversary night alone setting it up !! LOL... but we didn't mind one bit. It was still a nice quite night home alone together.

10 years

March 20, 2009

I'll be married 10 years this month. It seems like I have been married forever, I hardley remember my life before Honey. Yet, it seems like just yesterday we met and fell in love. 10 years, that's a big one.

Shabby Chic

I have Sweetpea's quilt almost finished. I still can't believe I did as much as I did. If you'd asked me just a year ago if I would make this, I would have said "no way". So here is the up to date pictures. Sunshine's is started too.

Park Pictures.

I love outside pictures. They always come out the best. We took the girls to play at the park and I "tried" to just get some natural shots of them playing and having fun. It was so hard not to call out thier names and make them pose, but I managed and I got some GREAT shots !

creativeless ??

LOL.... Did I make up a word ? So I am feeling creativeless. That's not like me at all !! I love to be crafty and do my thing, but latley. Nope, nothing new. So last night, I pulled out Sweetpea's twin quilt and pinned it. It's a start right ? (((CHEERS)))) Here's the pinning.

For the livingroom

My newest painting. Feeling a little rusty. I need to get some more canvas to work on.

If the shoe fits

If the shoe fits wear it ! If it doesn't fit, but they make you feel cute, wear 'em anyway !

What a great day.

We had banana pancakes for breakfast and then went to play at the park. We even made a stop by the puppy store for some free licks !!
