Master Bathroom

I've been wanting to redo our master bath for a while now.  I bought a bunch of new stuff last April but didn't really like it. So I've been on the lookout ever since.  I finally found a set I liked that had plenty of potential to decorate around....and it was at Wal-mart.....ugh....oh well, its actually pretty nice stuff and I like it so that's all that matters I suppose..


Anyways,  I was able to go to Hobby Lobby and find some cute wall art to decorate with.  I love it!!


Valentine's Day II

I forgot to post the very start of our festivities....lame!!

So, we started our Valentine's Day party on Friday. We gave the girls their valentines day goody bags and let them get dressed up and then took them out for a special lunch at Tucanos.

After lunch we went shopping for a bit and then went to a friends house for dinner!

Valentine's Day

We hope you all had a great day on love day with those you love. I had an absolutely fantastic V-day this year.


It started off with me getting to totally redecorate our bathroom..I spent all weekend and far too much money to do so, but it looks fantastic...stay tuned for pictures!!


On Valentine's Day, I made my loves a sweet breakfast of two toned pancakes, sugared bacon, sausage and V-day fruit skewers and of course some pink milk.  It was a huge hit. 


After breakfast we got ready and made our way to Barnes and Noble where the girls got some hot chocolate and looked at books. Coincidentally, Rachel and her mother were there, so we were able to say hello to her!!


We dropped the girls off at their dads house around 2 and then Louis and I decided it was time to head to the furniture store.  I want a new bedroom set, so off to Mor we went.  Unfortunately there was nothing good there so went to Pottery Barn. Still nothing good, so we decided to cruise around the mall. We ended up at Express buying my lover some new jeans and stuff....man he is one good lookin' guy!


After the mall we went home to get ready for our Valentine's Day date!! We went to dinner at Lock Stock n barrel....super yummy prime rib. After dinner we were going to go to see Deadpool, I even bought the tickets, but he decided after dinner that he didn't want to go. His exact words are he wanted to go home and snuggle....awe so sweet!!


We stopped at Fred Meyer on the way home and got some ice cream and hazelnut gelato and watched some TV. All in all it was a fantastic day!!

2016 Photo Dump II

Just another regular old photo dump to clear my phone off!

Zoe and B Bop at the dentist office. I always take them by myself and they do the girls appointments at the same time, so I didn't get any pictures of Bella, but they both did really well, still no cavities!! Unbelievable, but so proud of them both!! 

working hard.....

or hardly workin'???  Brittany, myself and Marcie on what appears to be a slow day at work!!

late night sleepy snuggles with the baddest pup ever!

Bella and I made Valentine's Day cake pops

German Chocolate cake pops with toasted coconut..OMG SOOO good! :)

the valentines day decorated pops were carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.

Louis helping Bella do her coding homework.  It blows my mind they are teaching the girls how to code....

One day in February the girls only had a half day on Friday so we killed the afternoon at pojos

I made homemade cinnamon rolls. pretty good

then I made homemade baklava...seriously one of my favorite things ever to eat

Zoe and I were killing time one Sunday so we went and grabbed a bite to eat and then I got my nails done and she got her toes done

a picture of my valentines day nails. I rarely get holiday themed nails, but I thought these were cute and turned out really good.

good lookin'  man and such a bad sleepy dog

walking Mazzy...she sings the whole time

I cant believe how big she is getting. She is gorgeous

so pleased to be walking the beast by herself

after school we stopped by our all time favorite donut shop and fed our faces

I love how mazzy is trying to communicate her thirst....by laying with her head in the bowl and just staring

Zoe's little Mexican chola shoes....I laughed until I cried when she came home with these. She LOVES these shoes

and eating more donuts....

the girls eating dinner after they've destroyed their rooms

my friend Brittany and I went to Rockies Diner, its a 50's themed diner with waitresses on roller skates. Zoe came with us and thought it was pretty cool

Brittany.  I love this girl! She comes straight outta Boston and has that scrappy little attitude that I love!!

Zoe lovin' the girls day!

I love how Zo is just straight up...but she doesn't wanna be rude! :)

Zoe taking pictures of herself at Fred Meyer.  I was buying Bella a pair of Vans and apparently Zoe was just so bored. I love this picture of her though because she actually looks like a little girl.

Zoe drew Brittany and me this to bring to work. It was a huge hit with all of us

I've been coughing for like a month.  Louis begged me to go to the doctor....I got a chest x-ray..my lungs are fine, but I had to send him a picture of my x-ray before he'd believe me and quit harassing me about it !

sometimes you just need some funny stuff at work....

zoe sprawled out like a weeks wash....this kid can sleep!!

I went grocery shopping and I always buy the dogs the rawhide out of the bulk bins..well Mazzy knows because she just stands there like an idiot staring at the bags until I give her a piece.

I got our save the dates.  I need to get the address labels for them still so that's the hold up on shipping them out, but I gave my mom hers

Zoe had my phone at Bellas basketball game.  I came out to check on her and make her give me my phone back and she was  so pleased with herself and the fact that she took a picture of me and I "look so mad" :) FYI, I was not mad, at all...apparently I suffer from R.B.F (resting bitch face, for those of you who have never had the pleasure of meeting me in person! )

Zoes valentine's day goodies
