Happy Birthday Daddy

The Baby Daddy had a Birthday and we celebrated with a blueberry muffin breakfast and a quick trip to Palm Springs 

Happy Birthday Babe. We sure do love you around here. 

A New Year

No better way to ring in the New Year than with some of our Besties. These boys are so hilarious together and Sofia thinks Emme is a human baby doll,so its a guaranteed great time with the Moysa Family. I am so grateful to have you guys in our lives as "family". Thank you for having us! 

2011 was kind of a BLAH. So much stress and drama, YUCK YUCK YUCK. 

2012 is official our year, and I am so excited/nervous for what it will bring. 

Happy 2012 Friends 

Its Raining Its Pouring..... Lets Rip Out the Carpet

I love to change around our home. When I  get bored I paint something, sew something, try and turn a Good Will find into a refurbished treasure. I am constantly looking for things to add or take away. Its kind of a sickness.

We have this nasty burnt brown/orange carpet that is nine hundred years old. I hate it. I hate seeing it in pictures, I hate stepping on it with bare feet. I knew there was original hard wood under it, because the kids room is wood, and I've been buggin' to rip out the whole house and see if the wood was salvageable. 

Cut to Tuesday Morning. 

It was raining, I was antsy.....

and this happened. 

I ripped out the hallway carpet and couldn't stop. Its like I was addicted. We did the hallway and I looked at Steve with that crazy look in my eyes, and he said " 

Let me eat lunch first before you start ripping out the living room!"

And then this happened 

Let me tell you the crap that is under carpet is DISGUSTING! So SO SO gross 

Nine hours, a million carpet staples and a hundred tack strips, the Classic Rock station on Pandora, and VERY SORE hands, we did it! 

Don't get me wrong, the floors need a lot of TLC from a sander and some varnish, but the potential is incredible. I love the way the room feels, the echo down the hall..... the sound of little feet pitter pattering through the house. 

 Any volunteers to help us finish???

 C'mon you know you want to.

 I'll make you  cupcakes

p.s. this is what the babes room looked like while we were working. I didn't care because they were SO good and played SO nice while we got down to business. 

But Wowza what a mess

The End

4th of July Weekend in Pics

"You look like the 4th of July 

Makes me want a hot dog real bad"

This weekend was so much fun! We spent ALL day in the pool with family on Saturday, where my babes found their inner fish. By then end of the day they were both jumping in the deep end. Monday we were trashed from all the outside fun and laid around the house, went and grabbed some yummy breakfast, napped, then BBQ with the Guererro Girls and fireworks. 

It was the perfect mellow holiday weekend. 

Hope you all had fun!
