crafts and a baby shower

Feelin' crafty? I made these bows this past month and couldn't believe how easy they were to do. If you ever want to make a hair bow go online and you can learn how to do any of them with step by step instructions.
Amazing what a glue gun, thread,needle and fabric can make!


I helped throw a shower for one of my darling friends Andrea. We met last summer in Seattle and have been hanging out ever since. I'm excited to spend another summer with her, and her NEW BABY GIRL!

He: 2years 11 months
She: 1year 5 months

we're BACK!!

Here's a recap of our vacation to Cancun with Pinnacle Security. I can't believe how spoiled we were. We feel so lucky to work with such a great company... and free trips help alot too!! It was during my birthday and Valentine's day, so Tony took extra good care of me.
I think our group drank the most pina coladas possible, and ate the most chips and guac! I'm a spa girl, and I may have had my favorite body massage on the beach.



Tony dominated in tennis...I watched from the side lines.



GETTING READY FOR SOME SCARY ROPE REPELLING.


TALUM



We went swimming and snorkeling in underground caves. This was a first for us, and one of my favorite excursions.




Right outside our bedroom was our deck with a private jacuzzi. Worth it!! I added my own special touch with the rose pedals.

I can only get my husband to dance on vacations...but it's always worth the wait!



There were lots of parrots and iguana's at our resort..(and maybe a few stray cats) This trip was one of our favorites so far! We loved the great company, late nights, dancing, excursions, group dinners, playing games, lots of laying out on the beach, spa/gym, and food.
Thank you Brad for a priceless gift-and our babysitters (mom and Ali) for letting us leave our kids.

Peace OUT

I'll be spending this Valentine's on a white sandy beach.
With lots of great friends.
A beautiful all-inclusive resort.
Lots of relaxing.
Tony's full attention :)
And will be making great memories!

Happy Birthday to Me!
peace out till next week-

I know I'm on a diet when I'm in my workout clothes 3/4 of the day
I know I'm on a diet when I'm getting on the scale more than once a day
I know I'm on a diet when I'm going on VACATION in less than a week
I know I'm on a diet when I've moved my treadmill into my kitchen
I know I'm on a diet when I don't get to eat a single thing during the Super Bowl
I know I'm on a diet when I'm not drinking Dr. Pepper

just sayin'

Today....

I'm grateful for superficial things:

yoplait yogurt
pink UGGS
treadmills
DVR
chapstick
fake eyelashes
purses
remote car starter
zumba classes
bananas
ipod shuffles

.....and I feel great about it. Sometimes it's the little things.

It's already FEBRUARY!

I'm grateful for the things that have already happened in the New Year.
As discussed earlier, I am taking one month at a time with my goals.
Last month I accomplished my 1st goal-aka ran a...
...
...
HALF MARATHON.
Let me tell you, it felt awesome. I'm ready for bigger/longer runs now.

For February- I am focusing on organizing my life/home/time better. It is kind of a broad goal for the month, but I want to get things in better order before we leave for the summer again.
So here's to February,

Loves.
