Spit Monster {Roooar!}

The doc says to start Lo on solids so we had our first run this afternoon. As you can see she needs more practice...


{Rennai, I bet you are so sad you missed it ;)

1st Doll

London is able to hold things now so I jumped at the chance to get her, her very first doll. {girl toys, finally something I can relate too!} It's just a little cheapy doll but it looks just like her. Kingston always puts the doll in the crib. So cute.

Cantaloupe Corner, ooh la la

Cantaloupe Corner is doing a great giveaway and today is the last day to sign up! I was just at her house yesterday and saw some of her new items and I AM IN LOVE! Wew.

She is giving away this adorable cherry blossom shirt so go check out her blog and play along.

Luke works at Infusionsoft!

One of my heroes now works in the sales department at my company. I started watching his hilarious movies about 3 years ago. I shared the laughs with my family and now we quote his movies all the time. I even have part of one of his movies as a ringtone. Yeah, I know, kind of obsessive, but I think he is so funny. So, the day I heard he started at Infusionsoft, I ran over to find him, gave him a big o' hug and expressed my admiration publicly to him. His website is http://www.lukeandtaddshow.com/ but the links to the movies don't seem to be working at the moment, but almost all of them can be found on youtube though. Below are a few free samples of his comedic genius. Check them out.





Luke also did a phone experiment where he gave out his cell phone on youtube and has almost 2 million views and received over 130,000 calls. Pure brilliance. Here he is on the Rachael Ray show.


The company I work for is pretty friggin' sweet too. Check us out at Infusionsoft

Splish Splash

We went to Tempe Market Place for the 2nd time this week with another friend. 2 weeks ago King hated swimming pools and fountains and now he can't get enough of them.
hitting the water... of course

Partners in crime
Navi is one of the prettiest little girls I have ever seen. She is 100% Mrs independent too.
Look at his cute face!

I hate{ed} this shirt

This shirt has been in my closet FORevER! I never wear it... who knows why. I've been wanting a new shrug so I attempted to be a mad scientist again and turn my plain shirt into a much needed shrug oh, just because.
Ta Da!!!! It's not very great up close but I am definitely going to wear it. haha.

ps. how much do you love the vintage broach I used for the clasp?

Free Stuff for Grabs

I forgot to mention I am giving away a bunch of my stuff at Whippy Cake. Do easy stuff to enter the giveaway and win free stuff :)

Apricot, Teriyaki, Sesame seed Chicken?

"What should I make for dinner?" I think to myself.

hmmmm?

Teriyaki Chicken... but I don't have enough sauce. What can I add to it to make it go further? How about some apricot jam? I have heard of apricot chicken before, Ok! Now it looks a little plain.... hmmm? I know, I will throw some sesame seeds on it!

I'm am hoping it turns out ok or we might be getting Wendy's. I probably shouldn't be taking risks in the kitchen when I am not that great of a cook in the first place. I will let Bret try it first. I plan on telling him I followed a recipe. haha.

UPDATE:
The chicken was really REALLY good. I over cooked it bc I was cutting hair but I think definitely will try this experiment again. Yay for not destroying dinner.

Baby Ellery

Looking at pictures of Ellery and her very real incisions from her many surgeries bring instant tears to my eyes every time. It makes me think of Lo and how I would feel if anything ever happened to her. Ahhh! Please go to this blog to find out how you can help Ellery and her family. Thank You!

Champ

Kingston is becoming a bit of an all star with his obsession with sports. He will play ball with me as long as I let him. He learned how to bear crawl and rush from daddy and he can officially shoot hoops on his own. Bret is bursting with excitement over Kb's mad skills, lol. I'm sure he will have Kb doing drills before he is two.



{he is such a rock star}

More Giggles

She saves her best giggles for daddy...

Lime Ricki

I heard about these awesome modest swim suits by Lime Ricki on my friend Dani's Blog. I personally LOVE the Avery (see img) because of the ruffle but there are a few others I like a lot too. Just thought I would share in case others are on the hunt for a modest swim suit also.
