Happy birthday Mummsie...

Its this hot piece of A's birthday today!


Im so lucky to have such a wonderful Mom. She is truly my best friend and such a loving and kind person. She can do it all...and do it better than anyone I know...cook, sew, paint, decorate cakes, upholster furniture, and "she could have been a professional beauty operator" (thats what granny always says). I love you Mom. We are going to P-A-R-T-Y when you get here.

Also, my appointment went great and little mister looks so good. I love him.

A big week...

for my anxiety that is...


We have our 20 week appointment this week. Most people get really excited for this one, but Im just so nervous. I just hope everything looks o.k. with the little peanut. 


On monday, we are going to Hawaii. I have never been but ALL I can think about is the flight. I think my flying anxiety has quadrupled since I'v been pregnant. What do I do? Im freaking. If I could magically be transported there, I know I would be really excited.



Not to mention, when I  get there....If I look this good on the beach it will be a blessing.

He's trying...

This is what boyfriend looks like when he is trying REALLY hard to keep his eyes open. I think out of like 5 photos this is the only one that he had his beautiful blue eyes open in and he looks quite grouchy (hes not though...hes very sweet) and I look cross eyed. We went out to dinner with Chris and Sister to Michelangelo's in Sugar House...run don't walk for real!!! Such good italian food.

For little Mister...


So, I made my first item for the peanut. I have the hardest time thinking of things to make for boys...Im so use to making things for sisters girls. Not to mention, you can do so much more for girls. Hopefully I can continue to think of things for him...I sure do love him. He's just-a-kicking around in there. Makes it almost seem real!

Me and my girl...


Estee is so obsessed with tea parties...one of the things that I got her for Christmas was this cute porcelain tea set for her to paint. She came over yesterday so excited to get started and was VERY serious about painting it and making sure that the cups had the right initals on them E for Estee, M for Mommy, A for Auntie and S for Simone. I forgot to take a photo of the finished set, but it turned out so cute. And yes...those are my Christmas decorations still up. I have no immediate plans to take them down either. It just went by too fast this year.




And...Thank you so much to everyone that suggested all of those darling fabric sites. I found some very cute fabrics.

Help...

I don't even know where to begin...Im starting to look for fabrics for the mister's nursery and I have NO clue where to look. PLEASE let me know if you know of any sites that have really cute fabrics. Thanks so much...

Happy New Year...


We had such a fun new years eve...

First off... here is a photo of me moving along (what seams like) very quickly, at about 4 1/2 months.

We went out to dinner and then went to our friends Jen and Dave's house for a very delicious desert that sister made.

Estee is craayssseeee...
What looks like a wild night, in reality consisted of a bottle of  Martinelli's  and posing for some photos. We really did have a ton of fun.



Oh ya, and check out cool mom picks 12/31/08 post...lou and lee is one of the picks of the year!

Fine dining...

For the record: I don't plan on taking photos of all the food I eat and blogging about it, this is just because I haven't blogged in a while and Im holding out for New Years photos...




Last night I went and saw the movie Spirit with my friends Meggan and Mairin...before the movie we stopped at the very fine Sconecutter restaurant. Run don't walk is all I have to say. I think the last time I ate there was around 1999 and it was alright but last night was something else. If you're wondering what that freaky pink stuff in the cups is, its called "fry sauce" its a nasty concoction of mayonnaise and ketchup and its a real hot ticket hear in Utah. Im not into it at all but people go bonkers for it. Like if you go through a drive through, they put fry sauce in the bag not ketchup.

Happy New Years eve to everyone...be safe!

A Christmas miracle...

I am so thankful for 2 HUGE things...

1. That Amy, Chris and the girls are o.k.
They slid off the road and rolled their car twice on the way home for Christmas...and walked away from the accident. Such a huge blessing I cant begin to tell you.

2. Its a boy!

All that I want...




I love looking at old christmas photos...they make my heart pitter-patter. I love the details, like the puffy painted sweatshirts and the reindeer above the mantel in the bottom photo that my mom still hangs up in her house. I know what these photos smelt like and sounded like... 
( We are for sure listening to the true value christmas record, that we still listen to, run don't walk if you can get your hands on one...its MAGIC) 

We are going home on Sunday and I cant wait to feast my eyes upon the ones I love. Its funny how for me the house that I grew up in still feels like home the second I walk through the door. Some things never change and in this case...nothing could make me happier!

Big mama...




Don't judge me for not having any make-up on or for wearing my mans puffy coat...but most of all don't judge me for parking in the spot reserved for expectant mothers.

Tonight, I celebrate my love for you...


So what if my breadstick looks like it got ran over by a truck. I have to come clean, I cant hold my love in any longer...I must share it with the world. All I want to eat twamp4sev is the Olive Garden salad. Im obsessed. (and maybe a swimming pool of alfredo for dipping my breadsticks) I know this photo is extremely unappetizing and that the Olive Garden is less than fancy...but maybe I have been eating the to-go salad for lunch almost everyday.

Delish...

My twinkle toes...

So, I know sister already wrote about this...but I had to post my photos from Pookies dance recital. She was the star of the show if you ask me...



She is the one on the far right.
giving Auntie some loving...

Monie was so proud and watched her very seriously thought the whole thing...

She did so good...I just love these girls so much.

Update...

Granny executing her move...

Granny...


So...My grandma (also known as the great RM) has 2 very serious theories about life. 

1. All you need is lipstick and sunglasses to look the bomb

And..

2. If you put your hands in your hair like say (she says like "say" instead of like "so") you will look a million times more beautiful in your photos.

I think its working for sister but I just look like a greasy horse face...

Just look at him...

Look at this one bigger...he's happy as a toad!

Boyfriend calls it work, but his grin in these photos says otherwise...We are starting to get the backyard landscaped and he is in heaven with all the digging and big machines. My brother-in-law trent is on one of the tractors and I think he's having just as much fun! Thanks for the help. I will post some photos when its done in the Spring.

6 too many photos...

So, I know this is WAY too many photos, the only thing that is missing is my village and that is still not all the way done...I have decide to keep it up through January. (you heard it)



Just a few little whatnots that are around the house...










I love having the house all decorated, nothing is worse than taking it all down and having your house look so plain.

Monie...

Dressing up is not fun for Simone...it is very serious business. She doesn't even crack a smile. Amy sent this to me today and I couldn't stop laughing at it...if only you knew how serious she is about it.

Not really sure...

Im not quite sure why, but thats my face at the top of the Etsy home page. Just thought I would post it 1. because it was kind of random and 2. I don't have anything else to blog. At some point I might think about posting photos of my house, but my village isn't up yet. I know... something is wrong with me. I will get my act together one of these days.
