a mad tea party

Two weeks ago my Mom and I took Payton, my nieces and nephew to Disneyland. My nieces and nephew had been staying with my parents while my Sister was recovering from her recent hysterectomy, so we thought it would be an extra special treat to take them since they were already ditching school. It was super crowded, well, for our standards anyway. We took Payton on the teacups for the first time and she was hysterically laughing the entire time! My nephew, Ethan, didn’t go light on the spinning, which made my stomach a little queasy! I never used to experience motion sickness but lately even some minor spinning in our living room catches me off guard and paralyzes me until I can kick it. yucky! We also hit up It’s a Small World, we had to totally twist their arms to actually let us go on, we kept pulling the “Payton has never been on here” even though my Mom and I just wanted a break. Payton loved all the singing and lights. She would start clapping and say, “‘dis” while pointing at something new. She is such a stinkin’ doll. ugh, this girl I tell you. Anyway, hope everyone has had a great start to their week. I will play catch up on my days off this week! 
The love of my life!

One of my fav hair clips, lost after small world. boo! 

Ethan totally putting some umph into it!

My Momma and the girlie’s, Makayla is totally trying to make them spin fast. I couldn’t even tell you if they were seeing as I was concentrating on not blowing chunks all over my nephew. ha!

Loving her surroundings

She hated: 
Buzz Lightyear: She actually cried the entire time. I laughed at her. Empathetic Mama? Nope!
                 The Carousel: Loved it when she got on by herself, all big girl like, but once we started spinning she wanted to be in my arms.

OMG! OMG! OMG! Breathe. . .

I was contacted yesterday by the Associate Producer of Cupcake Wars! Yes, my lovely readers, I just typed Cupcake Wars! I had missed the call while I was delivering my last order for Valentines Day and started listening to the message but my dumb EVO hadn’t switched over to speakerphone until mid-message, all I heard was “…blah, blah, blah, James from Cupcake Wars. . .” EXCUSE ME!?!??!?! Holy crap! I instantly started shaking with excitement and looked in the backseat at my baby girl and started crying. Will this be my big break? Who knows. An hour later I spoke to the producer and we chatted for a while about my baking career and aspirations. We left the conversation with the reality that I have to submit a video by the end of the week. AHHH! The stress has set in, ideas flowing in and out of my mind for something original, unique and quirky like me. I have filled out the app and nailed down my assistant, now all I need is some motivation, a lot of energy and one kick ass video to land me a spot on the Food Network’s Cupcake Wars. Pray for me!

A date to remember: Will you be my girlfriend?

 Ten years ago today my hubby asked me to be his girlfriend. I will always remember that day and my response forever. I remember how the sunlight came through the blinds and how he was sitting on his bed. I was standing to his left and he asked me nervously as he looked at the ground and then back at me. That day, February 6, 2001 was a day to remember and the start of us. We have shared many memories and gone so many places together. We have grown from our young adulthood, mere children to parents in ten years. It has been the greatest ride of my life, our lives,  and I am thankful for the day he asked me to be his girlfriend. Happy ten-year dating anniversary Hubby!

a ponytail and nail polish

I have one extreme girly girl on my hands. She finally has enough hair to pull into a pebbles-style pony tail, almost long enough in the back to pull into a pony but it will be slightly snipped at the ends come Saturday. Jim and I decided that we will be getting Lil Miss her first haircut to even out the back of her hair and to snip her Eddie Munster style bangs she’s rocking. I know she will freak out but that will be the fun of the occasion! Today, while getting my nails done P played with her fav lady at the salon, Miessa. They really love each other and it’s so easy going to salon knowing that for the thirty or so minutes I am there I have a sitter and can relax. Sweet customer service, especially since I have been going there nine years! Today Miessa thought it might be fun to paint her nails, I wasn’t too excited about it because of the chemicals, but she does watch her for me and it’s nothing a little polish remover can’t handle. Plus, her little hands look so darn cute with polish on them, even if her left hand is missing a thumb and pointer finger! ha ha. 
Payton’s new thing is making a run for it as I open our back door to let the doggy out. She opens the door, steps down and books it to explore our crazy backyard. 

“waaa tdis?” Her new fav saying. I am surprised she hasn’t gotten curious about my gnome forest yet. 

Ignore my dirty patio. Rain overflow + no time = a dirty backyard. 

Don’t her dainty ‘lil nails look so cute? I can’t wait until we can get mani’s and pedi’s together.  

I loved her outfit today, too bad you can’t see the whole thing. She is always grabbing a play necklace and wrapping it around her neck to be like mama. This girl was accessorized well today!
