Happy 21st Birthday Chelci! We love you!

My brother's sweet girlfriend, Chelci, turned 21 on October 8th! I couldn't have hand picked a better person for my brother or a better new sister for me. I love Chelci and am so glad she is a part of my family! So of course I got to make another birthday cake and was so excited to make my first cake with frosting roses! I think it turned out cute...she loved it! I did a pattern in frosting and the frosting roses because she loves frosting! Happy birthday Chelci!!





Mexico trip Oct 3-5th

For an early birthday trip we all went down to Mexico and enjoyed some perfect weather and a beautiful beach! It was a great trip and a much needed relaxing weekend!

Happy 25th Jenn!!




My sweet friend Jenn turned 25 and to celebrate the occasion I of course had to make her a birthday cake, so after our yummy dinner at Oreganos we went back to my house for her surprise cake! I love you Jenn! Happy Birthday!

Wildlife Zoo and Aquarium

Friends of ours, Ricky and Tiera, got Buy 1 get 1 free coupons to the Wildlife Zoo and Aquarium so we all went. It was fun! A little too hot of course being AZ but overall a good time. Our favorite part was the aquarium. Brady loved to watch all of the fish swim buy. He sure tried to get them! It was fun and tiring!




Happy Early Birthday to me!




My parents gave me an early birthday present in September...tickets for my mom and I to go and see "Legally Blonde" at Gammage. It was so fun!! I of course wished I had a pink dress to wear or some snazzy pink shoes but I wasn't going to go out and spend money we don't really have...so I improvised! I had these old hot pink flip flop heels so I decided to "Elle Woods" them! Meaning...I added bling on the heels and on the tops I tied a pink bow on each shoe (sorry no picture of the bows) I think they turned out so cute! I felt very Elle Woodish wearing them with a black dress and hot pink accessories! I had such a great time with my mom! She's the best!



Before... After...

We love Blues Clues at our house!

Brady's favorite t.v. show is Blues Clues . He just smiles and laughs at Steve and Blue! So as an early birthday present and to fulfill my creative bug, I decided I would draw and paint Blue on the playroom wall for him! I went down to Home Depot and bought three cans of wall test paint and then after I drew her in pencil I painted away. Here is the end result! He was so funny when he saw it, he walked up to it and stared like "What is blue doing on my wall?" Then he started to pet him!

God Bless Sturdy Bracelets





So I know they say everything changes when you have kids...but I never thought that included the type of jewelry I wear! Now when buying jewelry it not only has to be cute of course but it also has to be Brady proof since he LOVES to chew on all of my bracelets! Yay for cheap, sturdy jewelry!
