...maddie...

so it's been a while since i actually sat down and wrote a real blog. so i decided it's time to take a minute and do so. i was over at my sister's house and i was helpin her out with the kids and what not and i gave maddie a bath and couldn't help but take some pics of how stinkin ADORABLE she looked. you can't really tell but this is a little frog towel. she looked SO CUTE!! so i just had to make a little blog about her a do some braggin about how CUTE she is! :)

here is maddie again lookin like a superstar! she was sittinin her high chair and i looked over at her and she had put these on and looked up at me and gave me the biggest grin! she is absolutely adorable!!!

and here she is again....i accidently left her alone too long and she OBVIOUSLY found my purse that i actually hid from her so she wouldn't empty it! that is probably her favorite thing to do is find a purse and take EVERYTHING out piece by piece!!! ha ha! she's so stinkin cute i couldn't even get mad at her!

it was like an early christmas for her!!! ha ha! here is a list of everything she found....my phone, keys, sunglasses, planner, wallett, bag of recipts, tissues, lip gloss, alieve, i.b. profen, eye drops, (no i'm not a druggie!) a fruit roll up, a pack of fruit snacks, a bag of licorice, mints, sour mint thingys (no i'm not pregnant!! ha ha ha!) a necklace, bracelet, ear rings, a gift card, a pen, and some coupons. i think that was everything! probably not tho! ha ha ha! i should probably clean it out.....

couch for sale

wow! i didn't realize it's already been a month since my last blog post. time sure does fly! anywho, we are selling our couch! it's a cream colored microfiber couch in VERY good condition!! not to mention...it's WAY comfy! i'm kinda sad we're sellin it to be honest! but we have no room for it. so if you or anyone you know is interested, you just let me know! :) it even comes with these cute pillows!! :)

my new hidden talent

ha ha ha! so i can't help but laugh about this one....i think i might have found a silly little talent in me! so my sister in law was having a baby shower and i wanted to get her something that nobody has really ever heard of or seen. so i made this silly cake and it's made out of DIAPERS!!! it was actually pretty fun to make! anyways, i gave it to her at her shower and everyone LOVED it i guess! ha ha! so i decided to put some pics up of my new talent! :) if any of you would like one let me know and i'd be glad to make you one! :)

the pic on the right is a pic of the cake with nothing on it.the pic on the right is a pic of the finished product! it has flower clips, headbands, and beanies for the baby! :) i thought it turned out pretty cute. :) and i can still make one if it's for a boy! he'll just get different stuff on his cake. :) anywho, i didn't want to post this to brag but to show you an example of what you can buy for baby showers that nobody will have heard of or seen! :)

in any germs or anything to the

NICU but it was WELL worth

going in to see her! i have never seen

such a perfect baby! and i'm not

gonna lie...i cried a lil' bit just

thinking about the overwhelming

love that her mommy and

my sister's house and we were

just hangin out and i looked over

and saw maddie rocking her "baby"

in maddie's carseat!!!! (note: she

is ONE YEAR OLD!) she was

rocking this bear back and forth

and singing in her own little

language that none of us quite

understand!!! ha ha! it was BY FAR

the CUTEST thing i've EVER

seen!!! and i'm not gonna lie...it

TOTALLY made me want to have

a baby myself!!!! she is absolutely

ADORABLE!!!!!

"blanky" and put it on her bear

and then held one next to her face.

silly livie

so me and livie went shoppin the

other day and she wanted to buy

demolition derby funny....

this is a funny story...to me at least!

our friend, paul, is all into demolition

derbys and what not so he asked us

if we wanted some tickets to go to

a derby so we said sure! so he

bought us tickets and i was all kinds

of excited to go. so we're on our way

and i find out it's clear up in KAMAS!!!

that's like an hour and a half away

from where we live! way far!

so i did my complaining and just

sat back and tried to enjoy the

LONG drive! we stopped in park

city to eat and we were back on the

road. it felt like a freakin ROAD

TRIP!!! haha! so we get there

and it's windy, cold, and RAINING!!!

who would've thought in the middle

of SUMMER that it would be

POURING rain?!?! not me!

i begin to dig through my car to

try and find a blanket or a

jacket and i foung NOTHING!

....nothing but these AWESOME

sun shades that i put up in my

window! haha! SO! me bein silly ol'

me decide to use it for protection!

well, it didn't work out very well

but it was worth a try and well

worth a good laugh and this hilarious

pic of me and my new friend jen! :)

here we are tryin to use the sun shades

to protect us from the POURING rain!!!

ha ha ha! it was too funny!

here is the ONLY pic i have of us
at the derby. :( it was so fun!!! we all
picked our favorite car that we wanted to
win the whole derby and guess WHAT!!!
MY car took the GRAND PRIZE!!! :)
i'm pretty much the best at those kinds
of things!!! ha ha ha! :)

the hair-do gone BAD!!!

i don't even know where to START!!!

k.so i was at work on saturday and it was

DEAD!so the girls talked me into goin all

platinum blonde! dumb idea! we went ALL

blonde and i went home and totally HATED it.

i hated it so bad i'm actually not even

going to post the pic! it was so bad!!!

so i went back to work (at 10:00 p.m.) and

called my 19 year old brother and told him to

meet me at my work so he could color my

hair for me. so he put the color on. (missing

a coulpe places) haha. 10:45p.m. rolls

around and i went home to wash it out.

well, when you are PLATINUM BLONDE

and you add a dark brown it'll suck

it RIGHT UP! and it did! after washing it out

i began to dry it realizing that it's not getting

ANY lighter as i am drying it! i finished

drying my hair and began to CRY!!!

my hair was BLACK!!! i'm not even JOKING!

PITCH BLACK!!! i called my manager

and asked what i could possibly do to

take some color out and she suggested

to wash my hair with baking soda and water

as many time as possible. so after washing

it five or six times i decided to dry it.

STILL BLACK!!! i sat on the side of the tub

and just cried!! haha! i know, i'm a boob!

but when you are a hair stylist you can't

be lookin the way i did! haha! it was

so bad that i have to admit, i sluffed church!

there was NO WAY i was going to go

out in public looking like a freakin

GORILLA!!! NO WAY!!!!

ha ha ha! i know, i'm ridiculous! haha!

so today,monday, i had to go to work

and i was SO tempted to call in sick! haha!

but i didn't and i went in being so nervous

of what my manager would say!

she came in and said...oh it's not even

THAT DARK!!! i just blew it off. it's

STILL BLACK!!!! anywho, here is a pic

of me and my gorilla hair! you can't

really tell that it's black but it TOTALLY

IS!!!!! the only thing i can do is let it

fade to the color that i want! so i'm

crossin my fingers it fades WAY

faster than usual cause i can't STAND

lookin like a freakin gorilla!!!!

funnies...

so i was looking through all my pictures

and i found some funny ones of me and trav.

i couldn't help but put them up cause they make

me smile! :)

some random pic that OBVIOUSLY didn't

turn out how i wanted it too! haha

ha ha! this one makes me laugh EVERY

time i look at it! it woulda turned out so cute

if that dead guy wasn't chillin in the back

seat of my car! ha ha ha

here i am trying to get trav to SMILE!!

and of course, he turns his head and looks

off into the distance which made me laugh...

yeah the smile didn't end up workin

out in this one either! haha! look at

my cheeser i made! ha ha ha! i'm

so good at pullin that one!!! :)

"gilly up!"

we went to the tremonton rodeo on saturday. it was way fun! i didn't think i' ever be able to drag trav, "tough guy", to a rodeo and i did! :) i don't even think i had to drag him! he acted pretty willing to go! we had good time! we went with trav's parents, his sister and her husband derek, some aunts,uncles, cousins, and his grandpa who thought i was his "house cleaning lady!" ha ha! i guess that tells ya we dont see him enough for him to remember who i am! ha ha ha! our favorite part of the rodeo was the mutton busting! for those of you who don't know what that is, it's when the little kids jumpon a sheep and hold on for dear life! ha ha ha! it was the CUTEST thing i've ever seen!!! me and trav decided that when we have kids they're TOTALLY going to be entered into mutton busting contests!!! i can't WAIT! ha ha ha!
