"I'm A Lamp"



These were the words Taylor said as she put a swim suit cover-up over her head. Suprisingly she did look like a lamp, but i didn't want to encourage her. After many repeated times of yelling to take her picture, I took out the old camera and started snapping away. Notice her poses. Don't know where she gets it from, Robi or me?!? I finally had to tell her enough is enough. I got a little frustrated because she needed to eat her lunch. She quickly took it off, sped to her room, and sped back. She knows where I stand and leave my mark. No wonder she never wears that swim suit cover-up!


Here are some more clips from our wonderful trip to LA! This is the cast from Wicked!

Am I seeing Polka Dots





Polka dots, polks dots, polka dots. When you walk into my house you will see a million things made up of polka dots. The girls bedroom, the bathroom and the desk area. Since you wouldn't want to see a post about the polka dots in the bathroom, then I'll show you some other polka dots!!


Behold, The Desk Polka dots

I think the keychains are pretty nifty and the tin box is amazing. Of course i bought these but you could make these too. I let Taylor hand model the polka dots, so you might see one or two hands in there.

Isn't This a Steal!!


I found this chair at Target (out of all the places). It is made of a material called Minky Dot and of cousr the fabric is pink!!If you want one you better strap on your seatbelt and hurry because there are only 2 left!! It's very comfortbale even though it's very low to the ground. And it also goes with the girls room:) We are a "minky family" considering we have a blanket, a pillow, and a chair made out of that fabric. click here to go to a website that sells blankets, pillows, etc. out of the fabric

Just Call Me Crafty...


Now for another one of my latest (not finished) projects-


It all started when we decided to change Avery and Taylor's room from pink to pink and brown polka dots. The room was getting there when i thought, what would make the room special. That's when it came to me. I had bought two light ,white boards the week before so why not use them for what they are worth. I first put Spray Mount or Artist Adhesive spray-on gulee and attached wrapping paper or flamboyant paper on the light board. You can make it cute by attaching ribbon or a bow to it. To the side you can see the almost finished product.

Hope you enjoy it!!

Sorry for my bad photo placement but i tried!! 


Picture Perfect





Sorry about the unique background on my blog, but some little monkey(sorry no metioning names) changed my backdrop. So you will see the apples for a long time. 

Now for the main blog post.

We were at the pool today since it was scorching hot! The owners of the pool, Dennis and Sansa, have three kids, one of them named Connor. Connor is Avery's age but talks and acts likes Addi. You can call him Handy Manny because he can literally fix anything. So Dennis and Sansa are going out tonight and Dennis asked Connor if he has $100. Connor looked at his dad with a suddeness surprisment and replied, "No but I have a 5." Out of the mouth of babes!!



 This same time my mom asked Connor what he wanted for his birthday which is coming up in a few weeks. Connor looking tired from us asking questions, put his ahnds on his hips and said, "Well everyone asking me that, but i want a few different things!!" Very determined to get what he wants!!

Trip to LA









A week after we went to Hawaii, we went to the city that never sleeps (Well, LA) The pictures explain all. We spent that night with the Pothiers in San Clemente. THe first picture is of Avery being very determined (notice: the tiny scroll. She hit jack in the head when he was misbehaving! We all need those in our lives!) She was "pretending" to marry Jack, Sam's son.  In many pictures,  you can see avery doesn't want to kiss him (that's my girl) because she states his lips are too slobbery! Taylor, Zoe, and addi LOVE to plan weddings for them (cruel isn't it) every time we see the Pothiers. So there wasn't a doubt they would do it this time:) Taylor, who wants to be a photographer when she is grown, took these pictures! Just call her the mini Kelli Nicole! The last pictures, Jack finally manages to pucker one up on her! When I was rummaging through these pics i saw the third one and gasped! It looks like he's gonna bite her! Very determined man! My all time favorites are the flowers and the one of their faces lined up! (Note to self: Watch out when she's older!)
