North's Puppies

On Saturday, the 30th, I received a text message from my good friend, Dinese Grover. She is a friend, fellow hair dresser, and the owner of North's little girlfriend, Roxy. They had a litter of puppies a year ago. There were five in that litter, and only 3 made it. This time.....she had 7!!! So she texted me saying that there was one puppy so far. I was at work in the middle of doing a haircut. I was so excited. I called Dinese and she said that she was gone at Walmart and her daughter had called and Roxy had delivered a puppy so far. I wanted to be there to help out so bad but I was at work. AAARrrggghh. I couldn't get through those last few Hair cuts fast enough. We went over there after I got off work and there they were. All 7 of them. 3 girls and 4 boys. All good size. The last two that were born were twins. They shared an ambilical chord and came out at the same time. I was sad I missed the birth, but I got to see them right after. She just shot those puppies right out. Here are some pictures. Way to go Roxy! Ata boy North!!!!

DisneyLand Baby!!!

As soon as we stepped through the Ticket area, there they were. Waiting for us. I was so excited to be there with my little family of 3. It hit me hard. Growing up, I had gone to Disneyland with my parents. Now I was taking my daughter, with my husband. I am the parent now. I was ballin my eyes out thinking about that while the cute old men of the band were playing all these great songs.
Then on Main Street, we saw Bindi the Jungle girl (Croc. Hunter's daughter) and her mother, just walking along enjoying Disneyland. There were no crowds around them, nothin. I wonder if anyone would really recognize her, but I sure did. I didn't grab a photo cause we were walking the opposite direction, and I am not one to bother stars i guess, (cause I see them all the time.). We just kept on trekkin
-loved Space Mountain. We had to ride the ride individually since Allisandria isn't big enough, so we got what's called a "switch pass". One waits in line, then the other person waits at the exit, then as soon as you finish the ride, the other person goes right up to the front of the line through the exit and takes a ride. Very awesome especially when we used fast passes on all the rides we could. We didn't have to wait long at all.

-The Haunted Mansion totally was lame. They need to make that thing a little creepier. Pia wasn't even scared. She liked the part where the ghosts are sitting with you in your seat and you see them in the mirror.
-finding Nemo submarine- CRAZY cool, but Crazy long line and they don't even have a fast pass for it. IT was ALWAYS at least a 60 minute wait. Very cool ride though. Pia loved seeing the bubbles at the windows. She was trying to grab them through the window.
-It's a small world rocked. That line always moves pretty fast. Pia loved that. She is a "silent excitement" observer uaually, she just sits in amazement, but on this ride she was pointing to everything.

-Who doesn't love a little Pirates of the Carribean?

-Indiana Jones is awesome, I wish it was a little longer though.

-Splash Mountain didn't splash me much, I had a huge guy sitting in front of me, and I was in the last seat. :(

-Diaper changing rocks at Disneyland!!!!!!! seriously?

California Screamin had me peein my pants!!! Loved it. Dave went on the bungie blasting thing, a couple of times. That freaks me out, but he loved it. I may have done it if he could have gone with me, but.....he couldn't cause the baby. Thank goodness for underage, and under the minimum height children. I need moral support for those kind of rides.

-Sea World was cool, went to all the shows. Again, I cried durring Shamu Believe show cause of the story of the kid who had a dream to be a trainer, and there we was all grown up and a trainer at Sea World. They picked this cute little girl from the audience and she wanted to be a trainer when she grows up and she got to do all sorts of cool stuff with Shamu. I was crying. I am such a baby. I think having kids totally ruins the "cowboy up" phrase. I can't hold in a tear for any thing. I guess being sentimental can be a good thing right? Pia loved Sea World. I love her. I love my little family. Each Day we grew more and more tired. Especially Allisandria. She was such a good girl and would fall asleep in the stroller, but only for an hour or so. Then we wouldn't get into bed until 8 or 9. Then up again around 6 or 7. Our legs were sore, and Allisandria got sick of the stroller, so we had a leish to put on her, she hated that too, but we managed. All in all, I had teh best time with my family. Dave is such a trooper carrying the backpack and pushing the stroller. I offered but he insisted. My back would ache here and there, but DR. said that walking is the best thing for back muscels. Thanks good ness. I dont' want to throw my back out again. We ate good at Coco's everymornin, packed a lunch everyday, and ate good Disney food for dinner. I loved my trip. Enjoy the cute pictures.

Cibola Vista/Park Day

Today we went swimming with all of us girls. Lynsee has the time share there so we were allowed to use the pool. It was way fun. Sandy usually has had issues with the water in the past, but today she overcame her battle and had fun. So of course I had to take pictures of our progress. I hope I don't offend anyone with my "Beached Whale" body.

Cute Hair right?

So there is a blog called http://www.cute2tryhairdos.blogspot.com/ . If you haven't seen it you better go now. So cute styles for girls. I got inspired and was reminded of cute things that I learned in Beauty School. Good thing Sandy has hair for me to play with. Yesturday was two french braids. I should have taken a picture of it. Dangit.

Happy Birthday Becca!!

Rachel & Becca

Monday the 18th was Becca Loveland's Birthday. We all went to Paradise Bakery for lunch. What a site a site that was. A bunch of stay at home mommy's trying to get out of the house for some fun. There were kids and food everywhere. Can't leave without a few drink spills too!!! That is when I sit back and realized how special and blessed we are to have friends to go do that with. Thanks guys!!!

Becca, Allisandria, Gabby & Myself

All right Already, I know...

So I have posted about a million times already. My friends warned me that this would be somthing I love. ( i hate to admit it but...they were right. I won't ever tell them to the extent though.) I guess it is alright. I also just signed on to Twitter? WHat the heck. I dont' understand it but I did it. (why do i waste my time on the computer?) I have had a constant headache, my house is a mess, and Allisandria is messing with the dog food. Seriously?

Pay it Forward

So, here's how this game works-the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift from me. Let me know what you want. Don't volunteer me for any huge projects though. lol. The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (or be lazy and copy and paste like I did). Then come back, let me know you're going to play and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift!

Add your self in the comment box

*( ) - me thinking in my head.

I am new to this whole blogging world. (I can't believe I gave in) Leave your blog info so I can add you to my list. (spoken like true greenie. I am the typical stay at home mommy. I have converted and I want to pull my hair out, but hate to admit, that this is fun.) This is purely cause of Peer Pressure. (there is no such thing as peer pressure, just pure woosyness.)

This is the family. NOrth, Dave and me , Bo and Allisandria

My Favorite things!!!

So my new favorite mascara is Cover Girl Lash Blast!!!!! Try it!

Eyelashe Curling Tip- Take your eyelash curler and hold it to the got curling iron, the blow dryer, or flat iron for a few secons to heat it up. Then place on your lashes. You get a greater curl that lasts longer. But be careful.... it can get hot!!! This is a great tip if you fon't want to wear mascara and want to go all natural instead. Lasts all day. Great for Summer!!!

Is it Just Me?

-
Is it just me or does the word "Mormon" now mean that it's okay to not cancel your hair appointment, rather just not show up at all. Don't worry people, just cause I was doing your hair at home doesn't mean I'm on a schedule. I have all day to do your hair. Seriously?

Is it just me or is "Mormon Standard Time" getting really old real fast? What is it with LDS people. Everyone just assumes that because you are a fellow Mormon, you will understand that it is hard to get all 15 of your flippen kids fed, dressed, and out the door on time. Here's a thought, You chose to have that many kids so get up earlier. Genius idea.

Is it just me or do fellow LDS people assume you are going to cut a deal with them for hair services. I am not saying that all do, but I have come in contact with many who think that somehow that they should be given a discount. Whatever!!!! It is not a sin to take pride in your looks and spend some $$ to take care things. I have to put food on my table too. If you don't want to pay my prices, then go to Great clips. You'll get a "great" cut, that you will be cursin your self you should have had me do in the first place when you look in the mirror and see the beautiful and stylish "steps" some like to call layers dressed upon your head. They only charge that price for a reason. Value or quality people, take a pick.
And what is it with people asking for hair tips. Putting on workshops on how to cut your kids hair? I am sorry but don't ever ask me to do somehting like that. You wouldn't ask a Dentist to come and show us how to do a filling just so we could save a few $$. Be curtious to those who are professionals. Most likely they don't want to show you how to do things. That would put us out of business. We are licensed for a reason.
