More blankets

I can't believe that I've made 7 of these already! No wonder my house is a mess, this is all I do in my spare time! But really it's fun and I'm getting use out of my new machine which I LOVE. Anyway here is what I was working on when you called Amelia. I think if she had a boy this cowboy print would be cute! We'll totally have a sewing day! hee hee The map one I made for my brother, I just think it's cute.

Termites

Yep we have them. No surprise though with a roof thats wood! Anyway they are coming today to put the big tent on. So we'll be out for a few days at my mom's. I never did like the way those tents look on a home. Don't know but for some reason when I drive by and see one I think yuck what a dirty bug infested house! So now it's our house and I'll be glad to get rid of all the pests. But did you know it kills everything but spiders? Apparently they hold their breath! Sick!

Our Big Girl

So we moved Brooklyn to a big girl bed. I don't think she's quite ready, or really that I'm ready but it had to be done ( we gave away our extra crib which needed the side rails from hers) Anyway when we first took her to her "new" room she freaked out. She started screaming and doing this thing with her hands, it was like she kept pulling on her fingers with the opposite hand. Anyway we call this little gesture washing her hands clean of us. So yeah you can imagine that the first night in the new bed created a lot of stress for me. She feel asleep without much trouble, but was up at midnight. Not to worry she still gets up at night so I thought "normal behavior" But when it was 1:30 and she was up I began to worry. Let's just say she spent 1/2 the night in her bed and the other 1/2 well, in ours! Oh well. I'm already sleep deprived! How cute is she though!

It's not everyday that....

Yeah you can say I'm a big dork, people were staring!


You get to walk onto (or even lay) a baseball field! Especially the best team ever! And certainly not everyday that you get to meet the players and get a photo with Nomar Garciaparra! We had so much fun yesterday and took the win 4-3 against St. Louis. Go Dodgers!

My favorite kiddos pics

Here are a few of my favorite recent pics. Logan and Blake and my sassy girl! Logan being so cool in his shades!

Thinking Green?

It seems to me lately that being "Green" is becoming ever so increasingly popular these days. And it's no wonder why with all that's happening around the globe and with so many environmental issues at hand. People are finally realizing "hey it's time to start doing something!" I'll admit that I'm not the "greenest" person I know, but even I have been trying harder to conserve, and I even like buying those cute re useable bags at the store. So it got me thinking, "Which cities are the greenest?" You might be surprised to know that out of the 50 Greenest cities in the U.S, Riverside placed #28 and San Bernardino #47. I don't know about you, but that makes me want to try a little harder. Since I now know that even though it doesn't seem like it, our little efforts are working.

Cute baby shower

Yesterday we had my brother and sis-in-laws baby shower at my house. My mom, sis and I threw it and it really turned out cute! They came down from Oregon and we had all the family over. Here are a few pics of what we made. It was a circus theme.






Then later we went swimming. Logan and his cousins loved the pirate boat!

Sibling Love

I just had to share this picture. It's so candid. I just happened to have the camera and caught them like this, what sweet kids I have! Well at least it looks that way! ;-) But really they always play together and Logan makes Brooklyn laugh so much. He's usually so sweet with her. I can't imagine them without each other!

More home sharing

Ameila I think you guys moved away before our complete bath remodel. So even though you are going to be here soon it's fun to share. And for the family back east. The first few are the downstairs bath and then I threw in a couple of the kids bath if you couldn't tell!

Happy 4th Birthday Logan!

My little boy is getting so big. Logan turned 4 on Sunday May 11th. We had a birthday party for him Saturday at Jumping Jacks. It was so much fun. This was the first birthday that he was really understanding the whole experience. He loved all his gifts and was so happy his friends came to celebrate. Thanks to all of you who helped make his day special!

Look what I made!

I made my first baby blanket yesterday! I'm so proud. Rick's mom walked me through it, but I did all of the work! I can't wait to get my sewing machine now. I'm hoping to make plenty to sell at Letti's boutique in November. This one was made specially for my brother and sis-in-law, who are expecting a boy in September. The best part is picking out all the fabrics and creating the style. It's my pride and joy hee hee

LOST

Anybody else LOVE this show? I am completely lost and I love it! I just want to hear some theories of what you think might be happening. Oh and if you want to get LOST I have the first 2 seasons on DVD!

American Idol, Who's your favorite?

There are only 3 left! I was happy to see Jason leave. So here are my favs in order what are yours?

1. DAVID COOK
2. SYESHA MERCADO
3. DAVID ARCHULETA

I really hope Cook wins. I think out of the final 3 he deserves it. He has the most all around talent. And if I were going to pay to see some one perform it would be him hands down. The other David is really boring and lacks a personality! And I've never really cared for Syesha, although she's grown on me and I do prefer her to Archuleta!

Wicked

Today I bought tickets to see Wicked in NEW YORK, on Broadway! I'm so excited to see an actual broadway play and to see wicked. I've wanted to see this one for awhile! I'm so excited!!!
