A Little Junk in Your Trunk
This weekend in Scottsdale was the annual (I dont think it was their first year lol so were going with annual) vintage boutique show. I got nothing that was vintage haha. But they had such cute stuff, that if I had a few thousand dollars, I might redo my house.
Otherwise, I got everything I came to see! A new shirt from State Fortyeight! Halloween shirts from HelloApparel! Delicious Iced Coffee from MamasColdBrew! Some
of the BEST coffee I have ever had. Ever.
Emma dancing with Mimi :)
And Gianna was amazing as usual! Took a nap at the end :)
<-- someone else could also use a nap!
--> and she got one :)
The next event is Mothers Day weekend and I think it would so fun to do with my Mama again! This gives me 8 months to save for next time! I got a good idea of the kind of things they have there and what they cost. So glad we stopped by! We went Sunday afternoon. I hear if you went Saturday it was PACKED!! Since it was the first time we went, we opted to go Sunday after the crowds. Such fun to see a ton of local shops!
...........
In other weekend news, Gianna can pull herself up now!! Yay and scary hahah,..once she gets there, she either falls sideways once she lets go or <--she gets stuck there and cries till you come get her.
--> my FAVORITE candle scent is back at Bath and Body!! They were on sale 2 for $24 this weekend and I feel like I should have gotten more than just 1 of the apple..
A visit from Uncle John
Getting a visit from Uncle John is pretty special. He is in the Navy and lives in beautiful Hawaii! We dont get to see him that often, so when we do, its extra special when we get to hang out!
<-- first sock bun! It lasted 30 mins because she was loving the wobbly feeling on her head
Make silly faces!!
Having lunch with Uncle John :)
Gianna was chowing on some pizza crust! So excited, considering Emma wont even look at pizza without gagging. She told me she has enough pizza in her life with her name haha.
Even though our visit was short, we were so blessed to have some time with him. Hopefully come next summer, well get to have him for a few extra days.
We love you Uncle John!

Halloween Photos {part 1}
Emma and I finally finished painting the wood pallet for pictures! So after all that hard work I needed to use it right away. Its not fun to slave away painting and then tuck your project away for a month before use. So we gathered things from around the house and found a shady spot outside...because its still 100 degrees wahh.
So mostly, it went like this...
Oh sissy is eating a leaf, I will too!
I took her leaf and she went for her bow..so I switched bows and she went for another leaf annnd then the pumpkins haha.
I had so much shouting look over here, this way, at Mama! haha my neighbors if they were outside probably thought I was nuts. Oh wait.. I am. Part 2 to come in a few weeks. Stoked for Sept-Dec!

The kids played in the pool and made a grassy and muddy mess :)
Jeffrey plowed his cake and we had the best time ever!
Happy 1st Birthday Jeffrey!!! We love you!!

Labor Day 2015
This was such a busy/relaxing perfect weekend! James and I both had off on Monday..it was nice to have a day together finally. Looks like well be seeing each other again around Christmas. Wahhh. But back to the weekend :)
Saturday morning, Gianna woken up around 615 and I was feeding her back to sleep; I heard loud footsteps, must be Emma. 5 mins later, I heard James voice, so she must have waken him. When I was done, I walked out of G's room to both of them confused where I was. Emma had told James that I was downstairs making my lunch (bc thats what I do during the week) and she had gotten herself dressed and ready for school hahaha. We explained no school today and she was very confused. It was a major perk that she got herself ready and set for the day. She was in a great mood! BTW, he hair..she woke up like this. I didnt even brush it all. She had some serious ringlets all day :)
--> impressed with my wrapping lol
On Saturday, the girls and I went to my cousins baby shower and it was so cute and fun! She did most of the work and did a great job. I won the 'guess which chocolate is in the diaper' game :) I know my candies ha
The girls were sooo so good at the shower.
<-- leftovers, it looked to good not show everyone ha
--> as we were watching sleeping beauty 'Mama, thats you! and that Prince, is my Daddy!!' um duh <3 melt my heart child
<-- I heard silence, she put herself down for a nap :)
Discovering new toys :)
Of course, out comes the decor, not too far behind is the jammies!! (I have no idea what they are looking at..they both looked at the same time)
On Monday, she takes her tree pictures. Well she found this stick near by and was like 'Mamaaa look at mee. Im gonna eat dis stick!!' I was dying.
We needed to get a couple of things at Toys R Us for Gianna and so we did a little test driving for Christmas this year ;) ;)
--> James choice haha
Sunday afternoon, we decided to BBQ. It was overcast all day, but very light overcast. So as sooon as we stepped outside, it started to sprinkle. Of course. Oh and as soon as he was done, it stopped hahaha rude.
--> waiting for the rain to pass :)
This weekend Gianna also his the stage where she gets on all 4's and cant figure out where to go next and just gets to frustrated she screams. It want all the time to slow down, except now. Now I just want her to learn to crawl. Every 2 seconds after putting her down, she just yells. Sooo please girlfrand.. I give you permission now to crawl.
Sisterly hugs to end out the weekend :)
