Music Monday- Avi Buffalo

Avi Buffalo is made up of some great kids... no literally. The oldest member is almost 21, the rest are 18 and 19, I believe. They released a single, "What's in it For/Jessica" in December. I have a feeling that these guys will be a band to watch. If you click HERE it will take you to their website and there are more songs there. Good stuff!

Projects and The Missionary!

On Tuesday mi madre got me started on my sewing lessons. I got this beaut for Christmas and have been anxious to get going. But you know life and with the holidays and prepping for the bro to come home, it got put off a bit. I bought a pattern for a cute and simple dress for Lola. We cut out all the pieces, ironed the lining on and started sewing the top. But we were distracted by many things and didn't get very far. So the next time I am down we will continue sewing. I am really enjoying sewing so far and can't wait to get more sewing experience! Who knows, this could turn into some things that I could add to my Etsy shoppe!!

{speaking of which I am adding my zipper headbands tonight, go check them out!}

Lola with the Husqvarna!

Remember this project... after I took down the Christmas decor, I decided I had a place to put these so here they are! I am no interior designer, so if my placement is bad... don't tell me ha ha

NEXT, RHETT IS HOME!!!

{please forgive me for wearing that yellow cardigan with my platinum hair, after seeing these photos, I realize that was a BAD decision...}

what is my smile doing?? HA

waiting

Lola would not hold still, we took turns chasing her, she would fall, say "uh oh" and get up and run some more

Lola and Uncle Ryker

The whole group, even my sweet Grandparents were there!

For once in my life, I look short!

Playing after the airport at Mamah's
Rhett worked hard all weekend to get in Lola's good graces. She gave him a kiss and a hug on Tuesday, so I think it is working!

We love you Rhett and are so happy that you are home and served an honorable mission. Now let's try to fend off all those ladies that keep calling and dropping by...

3rd Anniversary!!!!!

Today is our 3 year Anniversary. We were able to get away for a night this last weekend. We went really far too... SLC ha ha But it was at the new Hyatt Place Hotel {nice and modern} and it's right by the Gateway, which most of you know is one of my favorite places! We did a little shopping and went to dinner at McGrath's Fish House and relaxed. It was a lot of fun!

Look at this amazing person we created, not bad at all. Rhett keeps telling me that we did a good job when we made Lola :)I love you Chris! You are my best friend, live-in comedian, partner {in crime ha}, and love! Here's to Eternity!!

Music Monday- Beach House

I liked BEACH HOUSE before but didn't LOVE... I think this new album may have changed my mind... listen for yourself. The new album came out this last week and is titled "Teen Dream". It is awesome, in my opinion! You get 2 songs because it was hard to even narrow it down to 2!

"Zebra"

"Walk In The Park"

Rhett's arrival home post coming soon!!

Guess Who Comes Home Tomorrow?

You guessed it Elder Rhettster Petster Poo Poo!! I am sure he still LOVES that nick name! We are so excited to give him loves and catch up on the last 2 years. This will be his first time meeting Lola! We had just found out we were pregnant when he left, so he was sad he would be missing her birth and the baby-baby phase. But at least now she can say funny things and give him hugs and kisses. We show her his picture on our fridge and say,"I love you Tio {uncle in Spanish} Rhett". He has been serving a mission in Mexico for our church.

Many fun times to be had this weekend!! Also Chris and I are going to celebrate our Anniversary coming up next Tuesday!! 3 years baby!

Shoppe Update Coming Today

I have been working on a bunch of new headbands and I am just about to put a couple up in the shoppe today. There will be more added soon, hopefully by the end of the week. Here is a sneak peek at the 2 I will be adding today!

A Tradition Passed On

When I was small I remember my aunt Julee reading me the Maurice Sendak, Nutshell Library Books. I LOVED them and I would always ask her read them to me.... "eating chicken soup with rice", I would say along as she read to me.

When I was pregnant with Lola, I knew that was something I wanted to share with her as well. I purchased the little book set and placed it lovingly in her closet to wait until I could read them to her.

Well, I pulled them out last night and got through half a book when she jumped off the bed and started playing... I kept reading, then she wanted to hold one, so I took the paper cover off and handed it to her, she was loving it until she ripped a page... I ran over and grabbed it from her grubby but cute little paws and luckily it was only a blank page in the back of the book. Needless to say, it was too early to pull these little gems out. I put them back on the closet shelf to wait until she is older and understands how to NOT rip the pages out. :)

I love her bed head in this picture and how I asked her to say "hi" and she went, "ROAR!". She is such a character!
