i heart ribbon

I made some cute cards to attach my clippies to. I am going to show them to Emery's mom on Tuesday to see if she will sell them in her store. I have become obsessed with finding ribbon. I have been looking all over ebay and have gone to a few craft stores. I found some cute stuff. Now I need to figure out how to make the bigger bows. I think I will try tonight.

Bow Pics

These are the clippies and the headband I have made so far. I am still trying to perfect them, but I am really excited.

baby bows

I think I am going to start selling baby bows/clips/headbands. This all started when I was shopping for baby bows, but they were all ridiculously expensive. I then thought to myself "I think I could make those"...so I did. Surprisingly they turned out really cute. I will have to post a picture later. I am just trying to figure out how to sell them. There is a website for selling homemade stuff called www.etsy.com, so I have set up a shop on there, but I haven't finished it yet. I am going to see if Emery's mom will let me sell them in her fabric store. But I need more ideas. I actually need to build up my inventory before I even worry about that yet. I think this will be something fun for me to do, while making some money at the same time.

Easter

We had a good Easter. Went to church, came home and decorated eggs. Didn't have a good Easter dinner though...we actually just had t.v. dinners, lol. I took a couple pics of the baby, who I must say is getting cuter every day. Although she drives me absolutely insane sometimes, she is actually a great baby compared to other babies that I see crying all the time. She doesn't really cry that much and is pretty content. Some days just seem really bad. I love her so much though. I am glad that Emery is such a great dad too. He is so helpful and I appreciate him and love him so much.

I took a picture of the new floors. They are kind of hard to see, but you get the idea. I also made the curtain valance above the sink the other day and put up the decorative vine thing (I don't know how to describe it, but it is a vine with apples, pears, and leaves). I think the kitchen looks more homey now. Ignore the clutter, lol.

Shopping

Today I went shopping with Catherine. We went to IKEA and I got a rug for the kitchen. Oh yeah...we got our floor put in! Finally! It is really pretty, I will have to put up a picture later. But my dumb dog already scratched it a little bit, so we will just have to be careful with it and make sure his nails are always trimmed well. We also went to the mall in Sandy and I got a shirt. It made us very tired. But then we went and looked at wedding dresses, cause her and Mickey are going to get married next year sometime...they aren't quite engaged yet, but they already have it planned and everything.

Speaking of marriage...one of my best friends, Danielle, got married to her boyfriend of like 6 years! I am so happy for them, but I was sad I couldn't be there. They went to Vegas two weekends ago and tied the knot...now we just need her to have a baby, so she can be a cool mom like me, lol.

My daughter is so cute! She was sleeping this morning and started to laugh in her sleep...I loved it! I am glad that she had a good dream...it really makes me wonder what she was dreaming about. Man, I love her.

I get to go to Portland in a month! My parents got me a ticket for my birthday, so I will be up there with the baby for two weeks. It will be a good time, but it will suck being away from Emery for that long.

Nothin much

There hasn't really been a lot to write about I guess. The other day we did a bunch of yard work...and by the way, I will never again have a house with this many plants. Yesterday I did some cleaning and today I have just been watching the baby, who is very cranky for some reason. We got her pictures back from the photo studio at Wal-mart, and for the price we paid they actually turned out well. I am really hungry but there is nothing to eat. That is all...hopefully there will be something more exciting to write about soon.

good movie overall

10,000 BC was really good! Well, it seemed to have some inaccuracies, but it was still quite entertaining and had good special effects. After the movie Catherine and I went to Taco Bell, which was awesome cause Emery and Mickey (her bf) hate the stuff.

I am scared I might be pregnant...even though there is like no chance of that...but I am still freaking out cause I am late...I think I will get a test to ease my nerves. Oh my goodness, I would cry!!! I am so not ready for another one of these needy little people yet, lol. Speaking of which, I think it is time to feed the little one...so I will have to write later!

Back from Logan

We had a good trip to Logan. Our friends Josh and Britt let us stay the night at their apartment the first night and then we headed to Emery's parents house to stay the second night. Oh, and El Toro Viejo was very tasty like always, but the service was terrible for some reason. We got back yesterday and it was good to sleep in our comfy bed again.

The baby had her doctor's appointment today. It sounds like she is growing properly and is healthy, so that is good. She had to get vaccinations and it made me so sad when she screamed from the shots! We have to go back in two months for more.

Tonight I am going with my friend Catherine to see 10,000 BC. I am so excited! Emery is going to watch the baby, so I can go out...he is so nice to me...I am sure he recommended this because he wants something...lol.

Gary is making me so mad lately! I think he is sick, cause he threw up on the carpet last night. He has been doing this off and on for the last two months...we really should go to the vet, but I think it is just something he is eating outside. Probably one of the many plants he has ripped up to ruin our backyard. Other than that he is a great dog, but I hate getting up in the middle of the night to clean up barf.

Here is a recent pic of our little girl.

Time to get gardening

Tomorrow we are headed up to Logan to visit friends and family. I am mostly excited to eat at one of my favorite restaurants El Toro Viejo. It is the best mexican food I have ever had...their guacamole and deep fried ice cream are to die for....yummy!

Today I went to Lowes (remember I will never shop at Home Depot again) and bought some flower seed mix, but my mom told me the kind I got will spread across the yard, so I need to return it. I also went to Costco and bought two small apple trees, but when I got home I realized there really wasn't a spot for them in the yard...so they will also be going back! Hmmm, I will have to find some other plants to put in the back yard. Our dog, Gary, has basically destroyed the yard. He decided to eat many of the plants we had. I haven't started gardening back there, but I worked on the front yard today. It was actually really nice outside.

I am very excited to see 10,000 B.C....I don't know if we will get to see it for a while...it is quite difficult with a baby. I still haven't seen a lot of movies that I want to see. Maybe we will have our friend Catherine watch the baby, she loves her.
