So I started selling Paparazzi Jewelry!

(I promise this is the last time I will promote this on my blog)

But I wanted you all to know about it!

I sell $5.00 accessories!

Everything is $5.00, that is why I love this company, its so inexpensive, but of good quality and it helps that EVERYTHING is SUPER cute! 

If you like anything, let me know and I will get it to you.

you can also see more of what I have on my facebook page

New outfit for C

 So I have been wanting some ruffle pants for my girls,

I mean they are so stinkin cute, but I was not about to pay $60.00 for an outfit!

I thought maybe I could do it myself.

Now I am NOT a sewer, I can do a hem and sew in a straight line and all, but that is it.

Growing up my sisters and I all got a sewing machine's when we turned 14 (I think)

So I have had this machine for awhile and I am so grateful to have it.

I think they turned out pretty cute and when I make any more I will know what to do better.

I just happened to go through all my clothes to donate this morning and I had this shirt. I like the stripes and has some cute coordinating fabric, so I cut it up and used that for the pants. And I had a little extra fabric and I made a headband too.

This past week Bri and I got away for a  little bit.

We went to Portland to go see our new nephew!

He is freakin adorable and I would have taken him home if his parents would have let me.

I think I may have held him the whole time.

My mother watched our kids, so we could go and I am so grateful!!!(Thanks so much mom!!!)

We had a such a good time. Here are just a few pics of what we did.

We drove to Mt. Helens where they filmed the first twilight.

We thought it would be cool.

This is bella's house

And the bookstore she visited

This is the alley where those guys were following her

And the parking lot where Edward rescued her.

We also drove to Astoria and went inside the film museum.

They had these film sets set up and bri got into it.

And then we visited the column, it was like 200 stairs up, but very cool. My calves are still sore!

The view from the top

This is the goonies house! Bri was super excited!

And or SUPER cute nephew!!

and I had a little fun with this picture.

It was very relaxing and so great to see our brother and sister and their new baby.

We love you guys and will come see you again!

The twins had their second 1st day of preschool!

They left the car and ran in, not even a look back, like they had done it a million times.

It wasn't as emotional for me as last year, but knowing that next year they will be in kindergarten blows me away, that my babies are getting so big. And that next year I will be one of those moms, tearing up after I drop them off.

and of course Chloe wanted in on the action.



I have been so lacking in posting.

Oh well better late then never.

This has been one of the best summers!

We have played with friends almost everyday, gone to see grandparents in Utah, went to Bear Lake, had some family reunions, barbeque's, and LOTS of fun!

I wish I had taken more pictures.

These are just a couple of what I have taken.
