BRACES!!!

So I am about 15 again:) No it is not actually that bad. I had clear braces put on yesterday that have a tiny wire that is hardly visible. Right now I am quite uncomfortable, but the pain should go away by tomorrow. It isn't a throbbing pain, but it is a very irritating pain. They did the top yesterday and in 6 weeks they will be doing the bottom.

I am actually really excited about them and I don't feel as self conscious as I thought I would. Mostly because everyone I have seen hasn't even noticed them until I said something. Plus it is worth the sacrifice. I have been wanting braces for about 14 years now desperately and thanks to my sweet Husband I now have them. Merry early Christmas present to me! This gift I will definitely remember forever.

Thanks Jason!

Baby Shower

So my Sis' had a "Baby Sprinkle"(mini shower) for me on Saturday! It turned out so cute. She really put a lot of work into all of the details. I'll have to post pictures later because they are all on my moms camera, but I wanted to say thank you to everyone that helped make it happen and to everyone that came! It was so much fun to see everyone and to receive such sweet gifts for our Future Little Boy.

Sleepy Head

I am loving the Random places Trev has been falling asleep in. We are transitioning out of naps so some days he just gets himself so pooped out that he doesn't care where he sleeps.

A few Birthday Highlights

Family Party!

4 already
Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes for his "Friend Party"
Yum
Buds
Sugar Rush in Full Effect
Remote Control Vette. People know my boy so well:)
Guns, they know him even better!
He spends hours and hours with legos.
The Party Gang
Theater Time. We have a theater here at the apartments that we can reserve so we bought Cars 2 to watch since that was his party theme.
Happy Kiddos

The Oil Ranch

What a fun day. Trev had a blast! There was so much to do he didn't have time to waste. I have never seen him so happy. He is a natural Texan in this atmosphere. It makes me so happy that we can do things like this together. The memories will never leave my mind that is for sure.

Tire Fun

Acting Goofy at lunch

Little Cowboy...he is a natural.

Baby Goat

Wouldn't you know he would be the one to figure out that the whole wall moves do get to the baby chicks

Angel

It must be a Texas thing because Cowboys have that stance

Train Ride

Buddies

I love that sweet face

Brushin' the Billy Goat

The Sandbag swing before he flew off

The look after he flew off the sandbag swing trying to miss a girl that had fallen in the way

Bright Eyes

I didn't get pictures of the Hay Ride. I was so busy making sure Trev didn't get swallowed by a cow. The cow had Trevs whole hand in his mouth at one point and funny enough he didn't even get scared. He pulled his hand out and said, "Mom that cow just slimed me". The day was great and we were both wore completely out. A priceless day:)

Halloween Party 2011

Jason and I haven't dressed up for Halloween in 5 years and before that I can't remember the last time. So this year we decided to have some fun since we were invited to a party.

Orders

Hello my friends,

Please note as of October 1st, all tutu and superhero cape orders will have a 2 week turnaround time.

Thanks,

Snook

20 Weeks

Here is my 20 week preggo bump:)

Monster

A few weeks ago my friend posted a "Monster Hat" on her blog and it was so cute. Unfortunately, they are so popular with the lady that makes them that she was way backordered until December.

Anyhow, I really wanted it for Trevs Halloween Costume because I hate spending a lot of money on the cheap made ones at the store that are not really even cute. So I decided to search on Etsy for something like that cute hat and this is what I found. It was in different colors, but the lady was willing to do a custom order for me!

The link to this style hat is:

The link to her Etsy store is:

In a nutshell, I spent $22 and I now have the main piece to his costume and a way stinkin' cute hat for the winter. Not to mention to finish off his costume I tore up an old pair of jeans of his. He has an olive green t-shirt and I am going to paint his face green.

Thanks Mameneth!

Project Trevor's Bedroom

So this is my latest project. I fell in love with this bed at pottery barn, but I wasn't ready to spend $1000. My awesome dad took a look at the bed in the magazine and said, "Hey I can make that". $27 later he made the headboard. $30 later I did the custom crackle paint and now he has a flipping way cute bed if I may say:) Side note, the bed at pottery barn was headboard and footboard, but this was way cheap in comparison.

His bed skirt was from his custom crib set that my mom had made and we converted it to a twin bedskirt. $0

The pinstripe sheets were on clearance at Target for $12.

And the Quilt and Sham were at Target for $35.

For $100 basically, I think we did an awesome job for my sweet Trev

Carseat Cover

So here is my latest project! I got the idea from one of my favorite blogs "keepcalmandcallyourmom.com"(if you are not already following it, you should)

Anyhow, this turned out so stinking cute. I made it for my sister in-law that just had her baby. It attaches to the handle of the carrier and drapes over the whole carrier shielding your baby from whatever is around(crowds, light, sick people who want to touch your baby and so on:) And it adds a nice trendy look!

Oh and did I mention these sell for up to $50 online and I made it for $11.

Amelia Island, FL 2011

Finally, after 5 years Jason and I took a vacation! We spent a week in Florida with the whole family and it was awesome. I don't feel like journaling about this, but pictures are worth a thousand words so ENJOY!
