Weekend Goodies

Big hello everybody, especially you dear Friday!!

Ive got a lot on my mind as of late, so I'm putting it all out on the table..along with links:

Dada and I just signed up for The Color Run!! The best way I can explain it is; we'll run, walk, skip & hop 3 miles on a course and will be covered by awesome color dust along the way! Im pretty sure if you go to the website they will explain it much better though, its also called "The Happiest 5k on the Planet".  Its in November and Im not in the greatest shape so Dada and I will start running a couple days a week to get ourselves ready!!

So I went and saw a little indie film called MAGIC MIKE!!! And in my best Matt McConaughey voice "alright alright alright"!! Ok back to what I originally wanted to say: I saw a preview for a movie that looked very entertaining! Pitch Perfect, the premise is 2 college a cappella groups go head to head in competition. It sounds like it would be campy but the preview looked pretty good, Im kinda excited!

Im loving Rebel Wilson right now!! I loved her in Bridesmaids, she looks absolutely hilarious in Pitch Perfect (the other reason I want to see it) and shes going to be in another movie called Bachlorette I think I will check out. Yeah thats right, Im a chic flick lova! But again, this woman is proving to be amazing!!

My birthday is coming up!! Im going to be 27 on August 25th, Im really excited because Dada and I are planning a little get away to Austin to celebrate. It will only be one night away and Little will stay with Gramma, I don't think I could make it longer than that.  Its been quite awhile since Dada and I have been away, by ourselves, together.  Lately Ive been reading more and more about Austin so that we can get as much fun packed in those 2 days as possible, this sure helped.  Something else to think about when planning a trip... what will i wear?

When Dada took Little to the Dr he had his blood taken, which he did like a champ according to Dada. So the Dr called me today to let me know that according to the blood work Little will need to take a multivitamin with iron from now on.  Ok first of all, Im very happy and thankful that it wasn't anything too bad. Second of all, it is very scary when the Doctor himself calls and says, "Im calling about Jude's bloodwork...". As soon as he said that phrase, my face felt cold as if all the blood drained from it!  Thankfully, like i said, it wasn't anything bad.

We'll be at Tia Linda's tonight hanging out, eating pizza and watching scary movies.  This weekend will probably be very laid back, which is always nice. I hope everybody has a great weekend out there!!

p.s. I just love kissing that little belly in the picture!

Weekend Smiles

We are looking at a pretty great weekend ahead:
Today Dada went on his deep sea fishing trip that Little and I "gave" him for Fathers day and he'll be gone all day.  So Little and I will be hanging out with Squish and Tia Linda.  Saturday night Dada and I will be heading to a good friends birthday celebration, we're gonna have a little grown up time together!  And Sunday Im hoping to take Little to see the movie Brave.  Gramma took Squish last Saturday to see it as sort of a girls day and they loved it.  Im definitely looking forward to our full weekend ahead and Im going to leave a few links to enjoy.

Thinking this would make the perfect gift for Little's birthday.  We like to give him something extra special!

If you haven't heard about the Disney/Pixar movie Brave, please go watch the trailer now! (Im sure you've heard of it though!)

I am a huge fan of Baby Gap and Im loving this new collection.  At first I thought it would be super hard to dress a boy but I LOVE IT!

This blog has finally convinced me to move forward with my red jeans idea.  The idea: take my old pair of light gray jeans and dye them red! It sounds pretty easy and I can hit 2 birds with one stone; try the DIY and have red jeans! (I hate that saying!)

Im finally doing it! Im going to open an Etsy store!  Im going to start small with selling invitations Ive designed (and all things invitation related) then move on to bigger things.  Its very scary and thrilling at the same time!! Ill have a full scoop in a later post.

Looking forward to big fun this weekend with more smiles like the one above!

Weekend Goodies

the babies on the bus go waa waa waa..

I assure you he isn't crying, sad or sleepy. He really just gets into the wheels on the bus!! It is one of his favorite songs to sing with Mama & Dada, he actually makes me take off my glasses so I can rub my eyes like the baby too! Oh toddlers...

I have several links, pictures and goodies to share with you:

Oh My Gosh, this  is the most amazing wall art for a baby shower ever!! Could I somehow replicate this for the shower Im throwing???? I think Im going to give it a GO! fingers crossed

I got pregnant at the age of 24 and gave birth to Little a month shy of 25.  I also happened to work part time when I was pregnant in customer service.  Working in customer service while your so obviously pregnant is pretty much an ice breaker for lots of colorful people.  Sometimes its nice and sometimes its akward and you just want to step on somebodies toes with all your pregnancy weight! This post from an awesome blog called Early Mama reminded me of those awkward moments!! Yes I know I wasn't teen mom young but I did hear everything from that list at least once during my pregnancy!! 

This made me laugh out loud, several times! It actually makes me feel better that I am not the only mama that goes through this at Target! Why is it so true??  

I can't understand a word of this post but that photo is darling! I definitely have to incorporate Littles animal friends for his birthday party. 

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!  True Blood season 5 premiere! This mamas excited!

I love this look!! But could I really pull it off? Keiko Lynn can rock anything!! I think Im now in search of the perfect head scarf!

Last night we were at Tia Lindas house,  while I was making the hundredth paper flower, out of nowhere Little started barking and crawling around like a puppy.  I do realize I'm getting excited about my child acting like an animal but it was too cute!! This is the part of toddlerhood that Im the most excited about the spontaneous imagination part.  Yes it takes imagination for kids to pretend to be dogs, doctors, cowboys, princesses or whatever they run around the living room pretending to be. 

Yesterday when I picked him up from daycare he said "school"!! I asked him if he had fun at school and he pointed to the school nodded and said "school"!! On our way to full conversations people!

Cheers to Friday friends!!
