Angry.

Stepping on soap box.

You know alot has been going on in my life recently. And I'm angry. I have the right to be. No, I'm not angry I'm fucking angry (excuse my language). I can't go into detail at this moment. But just know that sometimes life sucks. I am not sure why I am even posting this but I just needed to vent for .6865 seconds.

Busy, Busy, Busy!!

This is going to be a big post! Sorry in Advance!

I can ALMOST take a deep breath!! ALMOST! WOW! Life has just been  CRAZY !!  The last part of May and allll of June (So far) has been so busy!! I never realized how busy I would be as a stay at home mom! Geez

Lets start with Mother's day weekend!! My brothers sweet girlfriend, Maggie graduated from college!! I went to her graduation and I am so proud of her!!
Love her!!

 Then For mothers day we went to lunch at a little Mexican restaurant with my parents and with Maggie's parents!! I really wish I had a picture! Then for dinner, we went to a little Asian place with hubby's family. My mother in law was a little sad because it was the first Mother's day with out her daughter. She got married in September and moved to California with her husband. He is in the Marines, So visits with her are not as frequent as she would like.

Hubs made me a special picture frame from little man and my parents gave me a the next piece in my Willow Tree collection. Since I became a parent they started giving me these figures and it has been a really special tradition to me! 
This years figure

All of the ones I have so far!

I can't wait till next years!! My older Brother also moved to Austin, Texas for his job that weekend. That actually made me more sad than I thought I would get.

So, After Mothers's day was another BUSY weekend! My baby brother Graduated from HIGH SCHOOL!! So crazy! The little boy that followed me and my friends around all the time was graduating!! I am so proud of him!! I can't wait to see where life takes him now!! Here are some pictures :

The Graduating class!

That weekend also happened to be my father-in-laws Birthday! We went to this AH-MA-ZING burger place. It's called Twisted Root and they have the BEST sweet watermelon tea!

Litle man & Popsie!

 Friday, Little man and I spent some much needed time with my parents and uncle and his family who moved to mexico several years ago to start and orphanage. We went and saw Lorax 3D. Little man refused to wear the glasses. But He sat through it! Then we took little man and my uncle and his family to the splash park!! Oh man Little man had fun!! My uncles son....Not so much. He was TERRIFIED of getting wet.

They see me stampin', They hatin'

This evening I went to a stamp club. It's way more exciting than it sounds. 
Yesterday, when I went to my sister in law bridal shower I met a woman named Shaunna. She made the cutest invitations for the shower. I wish I could find the invitations from the shower so I could show you a picture! They were ADORABLE!! Well, She invited me to attend her "Stampin' club". It's kinda like a scrapbook club but you make cards and stuff like that. It was so much fun!! It was nice to be around other women. It was nice to do something fun and have some "Me" time. We made Father's Day cards. I think they turned out awesome! I didn't know I was capable of making something like this! When I saw the pile of papers and instructions and then I saw the sample, I thought "There is no way mine will look like that." I figured it would be all crooked and messed up and not look anything like the sample. I was pleasantly surprised with the end product!

This is the front of my card.

The tree is a stamp and the color was added with water crayons.

The inside of the card is a stamp.

They have a rule with the envelopes. No naked envelopes. So I just added some leaves with a stamp. I really really had fun doing this. I am such an old lady, haha. I am helping host a lingerie shower next month and decided tonight that I am going to MAKE the invitations myself. I am super excited about making them! I have an idea of what I am going to do for the invitations... But I can't share yet! I think they will turn out super cute though!

Anyone else do stamping or scrap booking? Share your favorite project! I would LOVE to see all of your creations!!!

Ice cream, crafts & baby pools!

*I apologize now for the format. Hubby's computer died and now I have to post from my phone !*



These past few days have been filled with fun! Being with little man & family is always fun! Friday we went to my parents house and spent time with them and my nephew, Baby W! They swam together (Baby W just kinda sat there). I even made little man a race track on the floor with painters tape! Haha, it was a little Loopsided but little man never noticed. We also went to the "parking lot" again and feed the ducks and played with nana and picco! On the way home, I had the bright idea to stop and get little man a ice cream cone an let him eat it on the way home. I forgot we live in Texas and its May. Needless to say, clean up was fun! At one point I braked quicly and I hear from the back seat " mommmaaa! You made me drop my ice cream!" I should have learned from the day before when we had push pops on the back porch that it would not turn out good. But I didn't.
The Ice Cream mess.



Baby W Look at that smile!!
Saturday, I ran around preparing a bridal shower gift for my future sister in law and a bow holder someone ordered from me. I wanted to make my bridal gift. I have been found that crafting was really relaxing for me and the only time I get to craft is when little man and hubby are asleep. I once tried to sew while little man up. I almost got my fingers sewn together!! Last night, I didn't get to bed until 4 am BUT I got both my crafts done! For the bridal shower gift I made what I call a " utensil cake". I am almost positive that not what it's called. Ha! I think it turned out great! The bow holder turned out PERFECT! She said her girls rooms was a Paris/fashion theme. She loved it!! I was so ecstatic!!

Nothing like Crafting and late night snacks. hehe.
Today, I went to church and then met my in laws at cracker barrel (one of my fav places to eat!) and had lunch with them and my future sister in laws family. Sarah is the most precious girl! She is just so sweet! After that, I went to the bridal shower. It was really fun to be apart of it. I loved seeing all the smiles and laughter and everyone coming together and celebrate Sarah and Tyler getting married. By the time
I got home I Was beyond ready for a nap. That didn't happen. Little man and I ended up watchig Lion king ans Toy Story and then going to my parents for a little bit. For dinner he asked for pizza. This kid LOVES pizza. He gets so excited about it. It is ridiculous! He was Dancing and hopping and skipping while we were waiting for our pizza! He is seriously the CUTEST kid ever. I'm a little biased though.

He is getting so big! I can't believe that in less than a month my baby will be three years old!! Where did time go!?!
He was " taking my picture" with his camera when we went to the parking lot. He kept saying " ok, momma pose for a picture." and then he said " perfect. It's pretty!!" hah. He can always make me smile. No matter what.
My future Photographer.
Notice the sunglasses?? The sun wasn't even out. He insisted he had to wear them. 

So my weekend was super busy and super fun! How was yours??

What I am Loving Wednesday !!!!



It's Wednesday already?? Geez, this week is just flying by!
I thought I would team up with Jamie over at Little Daisy May for " What I'm loving Wednesday"!! It feels like this week has flown by!

Today, I spent today with my sweet sweet little boy and my parents! We went to eat and to the parking lot. Little man calls the lake where we feed the ducks "The parking lot".( My mom (Nana) was talking to my dad (Picco) about why little man called it "The parking lot". We think that it is  because every time he would go with my Nana and Picco to the lake they would say " Be careful, we are going into the parking lot, hold my hand". Thus, The Parking lot.)
