work and play

Lately my creative juices have been flowin'.

More like pouring.

First task at hand....a diaper cake for a friend of mine's baby shower.

This was by far the most creative I've gotten with a diaper cake...yes..even more creative than the drum set diaper cake I made.

The little girls theme is pink hunting camo.

So it ONLY made sence to do rhinestone antlers!

i absolutely LOVE it.

I'm pretty sure this has never been done before.

Next up on the list was a tutu for my friends little girls very first birthday!

I absolutely love making things for little girls. Everything is so pretty and sparkly and fun! I'm so happy I could make this for her...she will look so beautiful on her birthday!

THEN there was Laura's tutu! I had the pleasure of making Laura a tutu to help her stand out for her first full marathon! I'm sure this will bring her pleeenty of attention! Good luck girl!

All work and no play is noooooo good.

So naturally the cure is a hot dog picnic at the park...right ?! So we loaded up all sorts of fun goodies and headed to the park with the whole gang..and by that I mean...Daddy, Shayne, Myself, GiGi, Uncle Cheese, Aunt MayMay (and little baby Gibbs), Breanna & even Moby.

I THINK my adorable little girl might be a hippie.

(check out those shades haha)

The wind was out of control.

But it WAS good for some kite flying!

Shayne LOVED this. She's not the most cordinated little girl...so kite flying is RIGHT up her ally. Not much balance required. Sweet baby.

GiGi kept it up the longest. We were so glad she could join us..we miss her when she's away !

PREGGO MEGGO!!!!

look at that adorable little baby bump! SOOOO sweet.

We are ALL super impatient for that little baby to show its gorgeous face. Shayne asks her auntie to "take the baby out" all the time. I think we all agree with her!

thank goodness we had chef michael to cook us some yummy (all beef) hot dogs.

he's such a wondeful cook. and a wondeful husband. i think ill keep him around for awhile.

i think im not the only one who enjoys daddys cookin'.

this picture is just FAR too big girl for me. isn't she supposed to need my HELP!? AH!

Friday, at school, was picture day.

We searched and searched for a cute little outfit for Shayne to wear...and finally decided on this one. Thanks to aunt MayMay, Lauren and the amazing little store Suprises. SO much to choose from...but I'm pretty sure it cant get much cuter than this.

we figured why waste such a perfect outfit on ONE picture?! So Michael had a little photo-sesh in our front yard...how convenient that there was a gorgeous purple flowering plant to match us right ?!

She is growing up so fast.

Too fast.

I really need it to just sloooooow down.

Oh, and before I let you go. I have to do a weee bit of bragging.

On a outing to Academy to get Michael a baseball glove (hes playing on the team up at work)...I found this.

I know...you're thinking "cute...but whats so special??"

WELL..let me tell you! This very cute Nike jacket that I plan on using for my future chilly runs outside.... is a $40 jacket. Kinda rediculous right?? What's even more rediculous is that I paid only $2.98 for it !!! YEAH...less than 3 BUCKS! I just MIGHT be the queen of discount shopping...i LOVE a good deal !

Hope you had an awesome weekend as well...

God Bless
