Time to put our craftiness to work!

Enjoyed some girl time with my mom!!!! We were up til almost 1230am last night doing fun stuff!!! Excited for the rest of the weekend when T gets to join us!  Our house is starting to feel like home...a cozy one too!!! Sooooo excited! That and the bug man just came and made my life that much better....no more SPIDERS!!!!

Loving all the craftiness this weekend produced!!!!

Here is the wall art for Breckin's room!!!  I absolutely LOVE it!!! 

Here we changed the color throughout the house...love it too! 

Added some frames, compliments of my Pops (The large ones anyhow)

And here is my custom Headboard!!!  That was a paid getting the knobs on but i love it too! 

And my favorite craft for Breck's room....a nice little mobile! 

 I have the hutch left to redo as well as painting the remainder of the house...but that shouldn't be too bad!!

Welfare....Food Stamps....NOT NEEDED

Amazed by our society! Lady in the store buys baby food, formula, milk, random groceries, alcohol & a pregnancy test. State programs pay for baby needs and groceries while she whips out a wad of cash for the alcohol & PG test. Talks about how she hopes she's not expecting again (oldest 14, youngest 8mo, 5 KIDS TOTAL)....WHY ARE YOU LIVING OFF THE SYSTEM WHILE I BUST MY BUTT TO PAY FOR IT??  NOT ONLY THAT BUT LEAVES IN A BRAND NEW TAHOE WITH THE TEMPORARY PLATES STILL ON!!! I'M JUST SHOCKED!!! I get people need help and that's what the "system" is there for...but don't abuse it and certainly get on BIRTH CONTROL!  i know it's the "way of life" these days...and i'm all for the help when people need it. But when I can't qualify for a brand new vehicle you certainly shouldn't!

Thanks for the venting session! 

Ideas....

So excited!!! I FINALLY found a way to decorate the babes room!!! Its a DIY project so hopefully it turns out! Super excited...no theme and not baby-ish! SCORE!!!

A reason why i love my hubster....

We just had a HS Football player stop by selling discount cards...when I asked Dustin about it he says: "Yeah, i'll buy one...i'll help support sports, you know what i mean"....i just busted up laughing! He really likes being a "grown up" with all these decisions! LOL!!!! He's too funny! Of course he sent the teeny bopper away and said to come back! hahahah....


Gotta love ya babe! 

Maternity Photo Shoot 30 weeks

A co-worker of mine has a friend Jill who does photography!  I was approached by Angie saying her friend does photography and was looking for models!  Sooo....we got in contact and LOVED the photo shoot!  Dustin and I were upset with each other when we got there because we couldn't find her house....she says exit off 115th Avenue, and there is no 115th Avenue off the 10...so here we are at Jack Rabbit Trail and we have gone too far!  Apparently they changed it from 115th Ave to Avondale!  So of course it was a battle in the car and you can't do anything about it! haha. 

We arrive 30 minutes late, but Jill was AMAZING and was excited to photograph us!  She will be doing Breckin's newborn photos as well!  Here are the pictures:

Nice LAZY weekend!

Enjoyed a nice breakfast with Dustin now debating on whether or not we want to go watch a movie but i think since Dustin was a good boy and did his homework he's rewarded with a nice drive to Prescott to watch DJ race!!! Excited to see our friends...if Dustin would EVER hurry up (still not dressed)!  UPDATE: We soooo love hanging out with our friends and the drive was nice! We had fun yesterday and last night was good....DJ didn't win, but he did good! Prescott wasn't as cool as i wished it were...got home about 2am and just woke up! Sleeping in is the best! Gonna make my baby pancakes hit up a movie and meet Steve & Elisha for dinner!!!


Well The Expendables is an AWESOME movie!!! I think we will have to buy it! And of course the love of my life Bruce Willis is in it! Met up with Steve & Elisha and had some amazing food at PF Chang's! Thanks guys! Looking forward to the yummy banana bread that's in the oven right now!!! Hope everyone had a great weekend....I did!!!

7 Month Mark (28 weeks)....Ultrasound and Amemia!

Here we are at 28weeks!!!!

Today we had our 7 month visit to the OB!  It was a family affair in the ultrasound like the last 3 have been!  Brinley, Mom and Gracyn came to see the baby while K, T and Uncle waited in the lobby!  Everything is right on track!  The ultrasound tech says he's got my nose...but who can really tell? lol.  Dustin says during the ultrasound:  "wow...I think he has my BIG ears".  Brinley says:  "yeah, I noticed that too"! hahaha...  He's in the 78% for his weight and looks great!  He weighed in at 3lbs. 4oz.  Growth, organs and everything else looks great for delivery in a few short months!  I have attached a few photos!  He's so cute and I can't wait to meet him!  The first view we got on the ultrasound was Breckin hanging on to his little foot with his hand...but unfortunately the tech didn't keep it for us!  It was really cute!

My blood work came back with low Hemoglobin and Hematocrit levels so i've got to change my vitamins and also add an iron supplement to my day as well!  I am RH Negative so I also got the Rhogam shot and i'll get another one after Breckin is born!  Aside from that...things are getting close...more and more exciting!!!  

Oh yes, thank you to Christa for getting me in touch with Tiff about a bassinet!  Thanks Tiffany for allowing Dustin and I to borrow it for a few months!!!  It's all put together thanks to Uncle Matt...washed and ready to go!  

HOLY COW...

Thursday I will be 7 months and starting the 3^rd and final Trimester!!!  Time has seriously flown by, but yet has taken soooo long to get here!  I’m sooo excited!  This Friday we go for our 28week ultrasound and hopefully this will be the last.  They are doing one to check growth and fluids, etc.  I’m excited to see what our baby will look like from the last ultrasound at 18 weeks to now!  I’m soooo excited to meet our son, it’s so insane to think I will be a mom in less than 3 months!!!  Breckin is so spoiled already and I love it! haha.  I’ve been trying to get things in order with the house as a whole and also his bedroom!  We got the crib and I, with my handy wood working skills, put it together!  If I may say so myself, it’s turned out quite adorable! 

We have gotten a lot of stuff from Katrina and Brinley and I’m soooo thankful for all of it!  I can’t wait!!!  The baby shower is set for September 18^th and my mom was awesome enough to put everything together!  I think I’m more excited to see everyone than the actual shower! Haha.  I’m also super stoked for the baby cake Shellie is making us!  She does an AMAZING job at cakes (she’s the one who made our wedding cake and a few of Brin’s bday cakes!) 

Anyhow, I have been able to head to Show Low a few weekends in a row now and I have been LOVING it!  Dustin hasn’t been able to come for one reason or another, but I’m glad I get to spend some time with the family before I can’t travel anymore.  Dustin has been working SOOO much.  I am proud of the man, father, provider he has become and appreciate all his VERY hard work!  He put in over 100 hours in one paycheck not too long ago!  This week looks like it will be another one of those weeks.  He went to work at 6am yesterday and didn’t get off til almost 10pm!  Nice for the paycheck, but stinks when you have to get up at the same time the next day and do it all again.  He does love his job, which is always a plus (hopefully he still loves it)! haha. 

Our home is coming along nicely!  Dustin has been working hard on the grass patch (small) in the back yard!  It’s green!  Yay!  Uncle Matt was nice enough to notice a smokin’ deal on some outdoor pots so we picked up three of those…just need to fill them!  My mom was kind enough to make some valances for the house now I just need to put them up!  I’m also waiting on some custom picture frames from “You’ve Been Framed” (my dad’s shop)….to hang on our GINORMOUS wall!  I have some painting to do as well.  I want to get all this done before the baby shower, so wish me luck!  The biggest part will be the painting…our house has VERY tall ceilings so my mom said she will help as much as she can.  Right now the house has about 3-4 different brown colors on the walls…I want everything one color….a neutral color.  NO FLAT PAINT EITHER!  Why do people do that? Lol.

Well, I will stop boring you guys and get back to work!  Just found out we are having Thanksgiving at our house this year and family from California will be joining us!!!  Sooo excited!!! 

I’ll post pictures from the ultrasound on Friday!!!!
