such a ham!

So Westin finds my camera and gives it to me. I am wondering if he wants me to take a pic of him. So I turn it on and tell him to say "cheese" and he does and hams it up for the camera. I got a couple of cute pics of him. You would think he would love the camera as many pics I have taken of him since birth! lol Finally he knows to pose for mamma lol That's my boy!

Girls night out!!!! (+ Josh and Gabe)

This photo pretty much sums up the entire night. We started our night off at Happy's Irish Pub. I had a couple Happy Hooligans and this yummy shot. Then we decided to walk around downtown and see what other places were jumping. Well a friend of ours works at a club a few blocks for where we were so we walked there and checked it out. Well it was some reunion thing that night and a lot of old people and horrible techno music. Old people are cool dont get me wrong, I can get down to some 80's throw backs, but this music was horrible. So we had 1 drink then left. Walked back to Happy's and hung out there. We had a lot of fun, a lot of laughs and a lot of drinks! Every time I come to town we always have a girls nights and every time I enjoy it more and more. Just makes me want to move back even more.

So I also must explain why girls night turned into, girls night + Josh and Gabe. Of course there are us 3 girls. Well Josh (Cheri's husband) was our DD and then Gabe found out about our girls night and misunderstood and tried to make it guys night. Then he realized the guys were out numbered. So it stayed girls night and we just added Josh and Gabe being the nice girls we are :)

Clap-a-holic

Westin has known how to clap for a while, but it has gotten out of control lately. He claps at everything and expects us to clap with him. And if we don't clap he gets in our face and claps until we clap with him. He is crazy. We clap when he slides down the slide, when he trows a toy to the dogs, when we pick him up, when he enters a room, when he pushes the high chair, when he trows his sippy cup, when he turns the tv off, sometimes I don't even know why we are clapping lol. He is a clapper and trying to convert us into clappers too.

super awesome father's day card

I am so proud of myself for being so crafty and creative. I never claim to be crafty. I am just a scrapbooker. I don't sew or make home deco projects for the house. And I just started getting into making cards. I saw a card like this and it made me think that I could make a card like that. I used my cricut expression Plantin schoolbook for the whole card. First I cut out a 2inch circle and cut it in half to make the pit. Then I played with the oval setting to see what would fit and I like the oval on Italic. It made the long skinny oval. Then I made the sun with the blast symbol on roly poly. And I had this stamp and I wanted it to fit in my blurb so I printed out different sizes and I liked the 2 inch size the best. And then I cut out some grass. Glued everything on, stamped my image and glued on a button on the sun. And lastly drew on some legs for the pit! I just love this card! Look at me all crafty now!

This card is sponsored by Cricut, "It can make anyone crafty, even me" :) I am so silly

my addiction continues

I cannot get away from using my white uni-ball pen on my sb lo's. Every lo says to me, "I need a little white pen doodling" and I answer with grabbing my white uni-ball pen and start doodling. Either with small circles or dashes. I guess it is now my thing. Usually I hate when I do the same thing, but this could be a phase and there is nothing wrong with that. If I like it, then do it!

So here is a lo I did for the old page map challenge week 3 on sb.com. Most of the paper I used came from my SEI Addison paper stack. I love this stack. I use it all the time! I love the greens and blues. And the title came from my Cosmo Cricket boyfriend collection.I thought it needed a little something so I made this lollipop flower. I like lollipop flowers b/c they are not girly. You can make them as just accents and be any gender! So thanks Jenn for the reminder of how cute they are.

And this lo is a continue of the other car seat lo. This one is of Westin napping in his new car seat on his first ride! I used the negitive of carseat from the first lo on this lo. Very cool recycling! I also used the Cosmo Cricket Joy ride line which I love! The green circle paper was also left over from the other lo. I just cut the stripes in half and used one on top and one on bottom of the photos. I wanted to add a little embellies so I cut out some stars with my cricut and I love them! I couldn't resist using my fav white pen on this lo either. I used it on the large brackets and on one of the stars! And I did this lo for June monthly sketch challenge week 1 on sb.com. I loved the sketch and couldn't pass it up.

movie night with mom

This is what happens when you ask your brother to take a pic for you. He takes one pic, doesn't even look at it and handed me back the camera. This is why I usually take the pics and are never in them. I take like 50 photos from different angles and hope I get a few good ones. Okay so maybe I am a little OCD about my photos. I am a scrapper and it is hard to scrap horrible pics. So I ended up turning the pic into a B&W b/c the coloring was all orange. The lighting in Mom's living room isn't very good as it is. And I don't have many good pics of me and mom. And we were about to go to the movies to see Sex and the City 2 and I thought I could get a good pic. Maybe next time.
So since I got all dressed up I thought I would take a good pic of myself. Pretty :) I love that dress and I got yo wear my new shoes.

new shoes!

So me and mom decided to try to find Westin some flip flops that fit his fat feet. I haven't had any luck doing so. We go to Shoe Carnival and find some black nike flip flops that fit, but the back kept coming off. I wanted to look for me some cute little sandals I would wear with my dress and other nice outfits without being too dressy. I have been looking for a while and have had no luck. I found these beautiful pearl sandals! I was not wild about the style of the sandal and I did not like the other plan colors. But this one caught my eye. It was so pretty. Dressy without being too dressy or heals. They had a 6.5 and I thought it was a little small, but they didn't have a 7 for me to try on. There is another Shoe Carnival on the other side of town so I thought I could just try that store later. So the next day I go to the other store and they didn't have that shoe at all! I was heart broken. I already made outfits in my head around these shoes. I was devastated. I finally found a cute sandal and they didn't have my size. So I decided to go back to the other store and see how the 6.5 fit. If it was too small or did I just want to check how the size 7 fit. Once again the following day I head on over to the other Shoe Carnival and try on the size 6.5 and lo and behold it fit! I just wanted to see how the size 7 looked. So I snatched up those shoes and was a happy camper! And I got to wear them when me and mom went to see the Sex and the City movie with my dress!!!
