Tutu's

This weekend I thought that I would try to make the no sew tutu's for my nieces. So I googled it on the internet to find out how to do it. The video seemed so easy I figured I could do it. Well it is easy but oh my gosh it takes forever to get the first one done. I almost didn't even attempt the second one, but as you can see I did. These two are for Savanah and Avery. I'm just glad I started with the little ones. I hope they like them too. If not I figured they can put them on a stuff animal. I almost put one of them on Jaxsen for him to model it for everyone to see but I figured I would get animal control called on me =) I'm hoping to get the other two made this week.

JAXSEN!!!

The day has finally come that Jaxsen is making his debut on the internet! I was going to earlier but thought no one wanted to see him. But friends at work couldn't believe that I didn't have him on my blog since he is pretty much all I talk about. So I've had him ever since he was 2 months old and only 5 pounds. He was so cute and tiny!!! Now he is 4 1/2 months old and I think about 25 pounds. He is now a chunk! I need to get better at taking him for a walk everyday. When I got him I had no clue as to what to call him. So I tried out a few names and Jaxsen was the only one he responded to. He has so much personality. Hopefully these pictures show ya how fun he is. He humors me by letting me dress him up and take his picture. I really think he likes it but as soon as he is out in public he hates to have clothes on. His favorite thing is to go for rides on the fourwheeler and razor. His first experience on a fourwheeler you couldn't get him off. Kyle took off and he chased him down until Kyle picked him up and took him. Now we drive the razor and if we leave it out in the backyard we usually catch him sleeping in it. He is so spoiled but he is my child and I will spoil him all I want!

Scrub Tech Convention

I'm so excited. In May me and two other people from my work are going to the Surgical Technologists National Conference in Las Vegas. 1 I'm excited to go to Vegas since Kyle doesn't let me go as much as I use to when I was single and 2 I get to rub shoulders with people in my profession and hopefully help me to be better at my job. There are so many cool speakers and presentations scheduled. I just can't wait. My good friends Leslee and Peg get to go with me. We have so many fun things planned. We are there for a week and one of the nights we are going to see the Broadway show The Lion King. Our tickets came in the mail yesterday. I've heard so many good things about this production. We also talked about going to see Phatom of the Opera. I don't know if we will or not. We might just wait to see if we can get cheap tickets there. Plus we will be doing tons of shopping. I swear Peg knows all the good places to go. She has such great fashion sense. I'm hoping to talk atleast one of them into going on the big shot at the Stratosphere. That is my favorite ride in Vegas. Well when it finally comes and goes I will for sure tell you all about our awesome time. Who knows maybe I will find me a better job!!!!!

Elmers Glue

Okay so I'm going to give you a long history to why I'm excited for elmers glue right now. So I'm a huge reality tv junkie! I love any show that is about real people. If you knew all the shows I watched you probably laugh. But today it has paid off. So I watched this past season's The Bachelor. Ya I was bummed that he didn't pick Melissa but oh well. That is life. So I heard that she was going to be on Ellen's show. So I recorded it cuz ya know I actually had to work that day. =)(it's been very slow at work and I have had plenty of time to catch up on my reality shows and find new ones. Let me tell ya Kyle just loves it! HA HA no he doesn't). Anyways, after Melissa said what she wanted to say they had a beauty expert on and she had some beauty secrets. So of course I watched it and she mentioned the biore strips that take blackheads off your nose and chin. She said instead of wasting your money on that product you should buy some elmers glue. She said all you need to do it put a thin layer on your nose and chin and let it dry and then peel it off. Your blackheads will peel off with the glue. So I thought that sounds cool. So today I went and bought some glue and tried it. OH MY GOSH!!! It really worked. I didn't think it would. With the strips it pulls them out but you have to do it acouple times and for the price you paid you don't want to waste them. Glue is cheap and it doesn't even hurt peeling it off. So go and try it. I promise you will be amazed!!!

NICKELBACK!!!!!!!!!

I'm so excited!! I just bought Kyle and I tickets to see Nickelback! I'm a huge fan of them. We saw them in Vegas 3 years ago and they were amazing! They had Hinder, Hoobastank, and another band but I can't remember who. I know that is bad that I can't remember who else performed but I really only cared about Nickelback. Hinder was pretty good too. I'm excited so far Hinder will be touring with them again along with Saving Abel who I'm a big fan of now. Also Papa Roach. I don't know Papa Roach as well as I know the other bands but it will be fun no matter what. We are going to the concert for our 2nd wedding anniversary instead of going on another long road trip like last year I figured the concert would be better and cheaper. =) I will write all about it when it actually happens. It doesn't happen for another 5 1/2 months but that is how excited I am for it. I can't wait!!!!

99 and counting!

This past weekend was Grandma Bleazard's 99th Birthday party. I can't believe she is 99!!! There was a party held for her and so many people showed up! I was amazed by how many family members were able to go. It was so good to see everyone. Grandma looked so good too! I'm sure we will be having a 100 year Birthday party for her. When we took this picture she told me she had to look at it and approve of it. I pretty much told her she didn't get to decide but showed her anyway and she liked the picture.

Nascar!

Well Nascar came and went again. It was down in Las Vegas. We had a great time except Kyle's driver didn't do to well. His engine blew up in the first few laps and so it made the race a very long race for us to watch. But we still enjoyed being there. It was nice to see the sun and enjoy it but it still got pretty cold at night. I can't wait for warm weather!!! This year we took Jaxsen with us and the poor guy had to hang out in the trailer while we were gone but everyone there loved him and so I'm pretty sure he had a good time. He sure wasn't starving! Everyone there was trying to get him into their trailers by feeding him and I'm pretty sure they regreted it by the end of the week cuz he was in their trailers begging for food. =)

Amargosa Sand Dunes

It was our annual President's Day sand dune trip and this year instead of going to Dumont we went to some sand dunes right out side of Las Vegas. Now I know you are thinking since we went to Las Vegas it is going to be pretty hot. Well you and I were both wrong. It was so cold. I think our warmest day was 53 degrees. As you can tell Jaxsen is pretty spoiled and a mama's boy and he spent most of his time in my coat trying to get warm. We went right when that cold front hit California and Neveda. But we still had a blast. You can't tell from the pictures how big the dunes were but they were pretty big and alot of sand. We had a great time and look forward to going to the sand dunes again for Halloween.
