watermelon!

I did my friend Jenine's nails the other day!

Pretty stoked on my nail pen. :D

So I'm finally off of the super low-cal phase of my diet. I've lost 17 lbs! Now I just have to work on keeping it off (even though I want to eat every french fry in the city) & hopefully losing some more. I did have a burrito and several margaritas last night though at Casey's birthday dinner! It was glooooooorious.

These two lovebirds will be getting married in TWO WEEKS!

I learned to cross-stitch! I mean, I've only made one thing.. a tiny Lightning McQueen for Maddox's room. :] BUT I'm starting on some bookmarks tonight!
I also made some Thank You cards & Casey's birthday card & they turned out pretty cute imo:

Maddox has been at his grandma's house since Friday & we are so pathetic without him here. haha. I got excited about a little mini vacation and then the day before he was leaving I got so bummed. And after he left, Bailey and I moped around the house all night. Wow. I MISS HIM!

LOL @ my mom

Maddox is a Power Ranger! (and check out our 22 year old TV.. pretty bad ass huh? haha)

Maddox got a haircut & wanted the pink car!

I can't waaaaait to have him back tomorrow!!!! I miss my little Flaerf!!!

America, fuck yeah

Wow. My idea of fun sure has changed over the last few years. haha. Bars & boys & minimal clothing have been replaced with a husband, my son, cooking & crafting. I had company all weekend until yesterday (Jenine & Oliver stayed 2 extra days) and we spent most of the time making Michael's & Hobby Lobby runs & working on different projects! It was so much fun. I NEED JENINE TO MOVE CLOSER. It's not fair. I know it's only 2 hours but that's TOO. FAR.

I made my first yarn wreath this weekend!

Obviously for the 4th of July. I've never decorated for the 4th before but Maddox is 3 now and I want to decorate for every holiday! My mom was a holiday-decorating fiend when I was growing up.. actually she still is. I loved it!

Still not sure what we are doing for the 4th but wherever we are, I'm sure there will be a grill, a fire, smores & fireworks involved!
I'd also like to make one of these:

Red, white & blue aren't very pretty together imo.. but for one day of the year I can go all out with it. :D

Phone Drop!

Father's Day was really nice. The Simersons came to visit for the weekend so Jenine, Oliver, Maddox and I all made the dad's gifts together. The kids got sleepy not too long after starting the crafts (we had a lonnnnng day and got started late) so Jenine & I ended up staying up late finishing them by ourselves. haha.
This morning we got up & made breakfast: (Muffin pan).. We lined the muffin cups with bacon, put seasoned potatoes in the bottom, cracked an egg into each cup & ended up topping each one with cheese. They were demolished pretty much right after the boys woke up. ;] They were obviously fans. (I am still on my crazy diet so I just got to imagine what they tasted like. Womp wompppppp.)
For gifts we made chocolate coffee dippers, a family hand print picture, the cutest card ever & I ordered a photo album off of Snapfish full of pictures of Maddox & Bailey. :]

Oh and the boys wore matching "Daddy's Little Monster" shirts... Oliver refuses to smile for my pictures. He is not amused.

And now for some of our Father's Day pics!

Now.. more pictures!

A little over a week ago was Harry Potter Day at the library! Maddox went in costume of course. ;] Couldn't resist. He got so many compliments & had so many people taking pictures of him!
