Wow have I been busy!! A quick update.

So a lot has happened since my June post.

Jaxon was born July 9, 2011. Wow he is almost four months old now. Gee i suck at this whole blogging thing. Anyways, i could not imagine life without him. He is the best baby I could have ever hoped for. He is smiling lots and giggling! He is about to roll over now! (Be careful he doesn't roll off the bed!!).  Having a baby so young is a struggle but its a struggle that I love. We have our hard times; like when he is screaming his head off and won't go to sleep or when we have to juggle all of our schedules around work, baseball, appointment etc.. to watch him. But in the end it is all worth it. We just love him so much and it is totally all worth it.



Halloween has come and gone. Jaxon was a LumberJax. (haha) It was a really easy and super cute costume. We dress him in clothes that he already had. We just had to buy a beanie (which he needed anyways for our trip to Reno in a week) and a mustache that came with Ryan's pirate costume. I glued the mustache to the binki. It actually worked and turned out so cute!!


He spit the mustache binki just before this. Dang it! 


Pirate Daddy and LumberJax


Ryan finally turned 21! YAY!! We went out gambling and out to dinner to the Yard House. Yummy! He can finally go into the big boy part of the restaurants. haha Love you Ry Ry I couldn't imagine life without you!


Happy Birthday Daddy!!


I have recently become quite the DIY crafter. Being a really tight budget DIY is awesome. I look around the house a find all these cool crafts I could do. I love it and it takes my mind off the real world for a bit. I created a scarf out of one of Ryan's old t-shirts. I have also learned to be quite the cook since eating out is more expensive. I have made some awesome ranch baked chicken and homemade spaghetti sauce. I am really looking forward to making more DIY projects for my family and the upcoming holiday!!  www.pintrest.com has become my new best friend!! Seriously.. take one look you will be hooked.


Super easy instructions!

Paint Alternative

Since we are moving yet again, it easier to decorate walls with decorative vinyl stickers rather than painting. I love this tree sticker.

Dream Chair Alternative

I recently posted about a chair that I absolutely love, however, it costs an arm and a leg! So, i found a great alternative chair in beige that looks super comfy. Guess where i found it... Walmart!! Shocking!
