Just a sneak peek...

I have been putting it off for months now, but finally I had to dive right in and decided that nothing was going to get done if I just continued to stare at the mess I kept creating in my soon-to-be craft room (or as Mike calls it, "The cave"...ugh!). I spent all day Sunday ripping apart the closet I was storing everything in and went to town trying to be creative and thrifty at the same time...these are just a few pictures to share since I have yet to finish my new room (still waiting to break open the Cricut machine and add lettering to my walls!)...enjoy!

I bundled and tied all of my fabrics....organized them once and for all by color...love these cracker jars! They are seriously the best and CHEAP!!

Just a little peek at part of my wall organizer...

More pictures to come very soon...hopefully :(

Baby Shower Goodies!

I have a baby shower next week for Tami (on my team) and decided to do something different than onesies and make a hair clip frame and lots of hair clips! SO FUN!!

The People's Choice Awards!

Last Wednesday, we were lucky enough to be able to attend the People's Choice Awards in Los Angeles! It was such a blast! Mike and I made it up to L.A. in record time with no traffic (an hour and 20 minutes) so we ended up having some time to kill...we drove around downtown and then decided to park in the parking lot where we were supposed to check in with the casting company. "Wow!" is all I could say! The sites that we saw (I kept saying that I could have spent a whole day in that garage people watching!) were VERY ummm...UNIQUE?!

Everyone else arrived and it was time to check in...I was under the impression that we would be waiting for about 10 minutes and then be taken right away into the theatre to wait...oh no! We had to wait for a VERY LONG TIME...people watching sure made the time go by fast! We finally were taken to the NOKIA theatre where the show was about to begin in....2 hours! We were lucky enough to get seats (instead of being shifted around the whole time) where we were told that we wouldn't be moving unless asked to do so. My sister and I were getting antsy and decided to ask one of the casting guys if we could move closer (to the stars of course!)...we were told we had to make eye contact and then they could move us during the show! We stuck the guys (Mike and Kevin) on the end...we decided that it would be best if the girls got up and moved to the end so we could get a better chance at moving since they were moving people pretty rapidly! I was the first one to stand and was told to go see the casting guy...to our surprise, we were moved to the area were some of the stars were....I walked right past Colbie Caillat...love her! I was star struck when I saw her! I luckily did not get separated and sat next to Joy! We were lucky enough to be so close to Taylor Swift when she got her award and also got to see Johny Depp up close too! Yes, Mike and I watched the show the next day and sure enough we saw most of us!

We were so lucky to see stars like Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Lautner, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban....just to name a few!

What a fun night! After the show we rushed out to see the stars who were heading to the after party...were unsuccessful though because most had already gone inside...we did keep seeing this weird lady who thought she was Lady Gaga! Well actually I should say that we thought she was too and were truly convinced when we first saw her! haha!

Because of Joy we were all able to attend this event! I am on the look out for more shows!! =)

Feliza, Wendy, Vickie, Jenn, me, and Joy

New Year's Eve!

We began the night by hanging out with some of the neighbors and enjoyed some appetizers together! We then had a delicious dinner at Kandyce and Ryan's! As soon as Dylan and Kaleb went to bed, we broke out Scattergories and Partini and played our hearts out (the boys were cheaters...of course not us girls!)! We dug into ice cream cookie sundaes at 2 a.m. and didn't end our night until 2:30! Surprised we were able to make it until 12 (let alone 2:30)! Ryan and Mike refused to wear their crowns for any pictures, but DID wear them for the rest of the night!

Yeah for 2010!

The night just wouldn't be complete without a SNUGGIE! Haha!!

Happy 2010 everyone! =)

Ice Skating and more...

Last year around Christmas, we all went down to Coronado and had such a great time together! It is always fun to spend time in Coronado during Christmas! We decided to do something different this year and go down to downtown San Diego for some ice skating at Horton Plaza and some treats at Buca di Beppo and Ghirardelli ice cream! It was a great time! =) Can't wait until this December! =)

This was Makena's first time ice skating...she had a great time! Isn't she wearing the perfect outfit?!
She loved skating with her daddy!

Mama tried teaching her what she knew (yes, my sister was an ice skater when she was younger!)

As for me, I fell once and boy did it hurt! =(

After ice skating, we had a great dinner at our favorite Buca di Beppo in the Gaslamp! Makena made us all a picture! What an artist!
This little princess was still hungry when we left and would not let go of her piece of bread...she finished every little bite while walking to go get ice cream! As the saying goes, you must finish your dinner before dessert...she obviously followed that rule!
My sister thought that Mike would look so handsome in Makena's cupcake hat!

Even though we ate a ton for dinner, we still managed to squeeze in some ice cream! Look at this beauty!
This little one loves being right by Nana's side...Pop Pop's too! =)
