I was BORED!

Saturday evening I was so bored!!! I had some projects that I needed to start and it was the perfect time to get them done. My mom-in-law gave me this cute idea of making a sign with ribbon hanging to clip Bailey's bows and hair clips to. By the time I clipped them all on I realized I needed to make the ribbons longer cause I never realized how many bows she had. But I like how it came out. And she loves it too. This was a project I hadn't planned on making. I bought the flowers at the $1 Dollar store and needed to find vase for them. I went to Michaels and bought three taracotta potts and painted them and made them spell out Easter. I love how they turned out. And they were hecka easy to make.

For Picky Eaters








I bought this cooking book for my kids. It has a bunch of Disney characters and different foods that they like to eat. Last night we made Mr. Incredible's Spagetti and Meatballs. Bailey helped me with the noodles and Peyton helped me with balling the meat into balls. It was fun and Peyton got to help with washing the dishes afterwards. I have a very picky eater, my daughter, hopefully this will help her to eat more different foods.

My Valentine Suprise


When I got home from being at my inlaws all morning I had a couple of suprises waiting for me. Chuck had ordered me cali lilies and roses for Valentines Day. They were on my table when I got home I thought they were so gorgeous, he did such a good job picking them out for me. But that wasn't all. Later I was cleaning house and went in my room to put stuff away and there was more. Another bouquet on my night stand. Auhh... I love him!!!




















Here is what they look like as of today, the roses didn't last long, well all but one did.

My Funny Valentines














































On Friday the day before Valentine's Day we went to Chuck's parents house to make Valentine Goodies. It was so much fun and so fattening. They had so many treats, such as heart shaped rice crispy treats, chocolate molds, chocolate covered pretzels, heart shaped brownies, cupcakes, sugar cookies... etc. We had so many sweets. It was so much fun.

Best Christmas Gift Ever!!!

My In laws got me and my husband a closet for our garage for Christmas. We use it to organize my scrapbooking stuff and crafts and kids stuff. I love it so much. I feel like Martha Stewart being so organized!
I love being organized.



Here are some organizers that I bought from the $1 dollar store and Target. I use them to organize my kids stuff, like their Playdough, Chalk, Color Pens, and Paints and the big tubs have Color Paper and Coloring Books. The $1 dollar store has a bunch of great coloring books for kids.

Our Disneyland trip

One of Peyton's favorate characters, Woody
Peyton in shock that he's able to drive.
Bailey bursting with joy that she was driving. It was more like, "I'm driving (crash), I'm driving (crash)"

Bailey and Peyton enjoying a Mickey Cookie.
Peyton with his mouth full of cookie.
Peyton also loves Bugs Life so when we went to California Adventure he was in shock when he saw Hopper from the movie.

Peyton missed out when we waited in line to see the princesses and he fell asleep.

Bailey couldn't wait to be able to be with the princesses.

I love this picture. The kids loved to see Mickey, Peyton didnt want to leave.

Minnie and Bailey and Peyton.
Riding Casey Jones Train. All Abourd!!!

Up Up and Away...

He's my Maverick. He definately fits the part. All he needs is one of those Fighter Pilot Jackets.


Almost more than 2 years ago, when my dad found out we were having the first Grandson on my side of the family, my dad started making a wooden airplane for him. It tuned out great and Peyton and Bailey love it. When Peyton gets in it he tells me that he's going to go look for Dumbo, I know we watch way to much Disney Movies.

Emily and Anthony Barba


Here's the big family photo. Everyone looks beautiful.
Bailey and my first dance.
This is what happens when your child decides he wants to be part of the wedding party.
Here is Chuck's cousin's Sherry and Kimmy.

This is Chuck's Crazy Cousin Mike.
Bailey was supposed to be the flower girl but wound up napping instead. She loved her dress though.
Proud Mama and Papa, two good looking inlaws.
This is Chuck's side of the family... that explains it all... j/k My Nephew Max and Peyton in there black mobster suits.

The flower arrangements were gorgeuos!

And this was such a cute idea for the cake.



My sister in law Emily finally married to her soul mate and I am so happy for her cause she couldnt have found a better guy. We are so happy to have Anthony in our family. I wish them the best of luck. Here are not the best but some photos I took at the wedding. My camera was acting up on me so sorry.

Do you see why I love him...







Hi I'm Woody, Howdy Howdy Howdy... Auhh my Peyton... lately he has been such a crack up. I have made it a point to spend a lot of time with him cause if I dont... he gets into things he shouldn't and gets into a ton of trouble... like learning how to change the DVD player... he takes a toy chair from his sister's room and stands on it to get to our DVD player in my bedroom... BIG NO NO, he has also discovered that he likes to chew and play with any gum thats lying around (yes I said it... GUM!) He is sometimes what I would like to call a menace!!! But no matter what, there are times when he's a complete angel, like when he wants to show me something or for me to follow him somewhere he says "Show me, come show me..." as he grabs my hands and drags me with him. He also has discovered me tickling his belly and when he's tired he will come ley by me and pull up his shirt for me to tickle his round belly. He as always loved for me to rock him in his Great Grandma Moog's rocking chair that my mother in law had given me. I love that he likes me to read to him every night and to sing him a song. I love my little menace and hopefully, this is a phase that he's in when he gets into trouble.
