Summer is here, & Vegas is hot! I absolutely hate the heat here, but am soo happy we have a pool at our house. Scarlett is still a little iffy about the pool though, so we've been spending a lot of our time trying to do indoor activities. Lately we've been to the new childrens' museum, doing lots of crafts at home & having playdates.. inside! Im already counting down until fall. 

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers day to my amazing husband! & to my wonderful dad! <3 Love you both so much!

Scarlett picked out all those balloons for her daddy.  His "balloon bouquet" was filled with princess & disney balloons :)

been a while

..its been a while. so im gonna try to catch up on what we've been doing lately. We went to San Diego for Tony's birthday. We went to the Zoo & Sea World. If we had time we would have went to Disneyland again, but we only had a few days there, so I settled for a quick trip to Downtown Disney. I love vacations, especially with my two favorite people, Tony & Scarley. We also went with our friends Marisol, Ivan and their little babe Sienna. 

Sea World was lots of fun. We fell in love with the pet show that they have. It was the cutest little dog & cat show ever. Scarlett thinks every animal is a dog named Bease that says "WOOF"(our dogs names is Beasley) so obviously she loved it too. 



Heres a video of Scarlett at the zoo barking at the flamingos. 

On our last day we didnt have any plans so we decided to rent a boat which was super fun. It also helped my husband fill his "I want to own a boat" need for a little while. Then we drove to Downtown Disney, where Scarlett had the biggest meltdown/tantrum of her life.. but we still had fun. 

could she get any cuter?

DIVA

 We thought it would be a fun cheesy idea to go on this VIP bike ride...(the seat said VIP ha) until we realized it was $40! Guess thats the price you have to pay to be VIP

Scarlett has just gotten more amazing every day. Im obsessed with this age. She's just so funny & sweet. She always says bless you if any one sneezes. The other day we were at the park & some guy sneezed all the way on the other side & she yelled "bless you!" I just died. She loves to sing. She tries to sing every song she hears. She loves getting dressed now, which is amazing because she used to hate it. She does these little poses when she gets dressed because she feels so pretty. I know this because she poses & twirls and says "pretty". She all of a sudden will let me actually change her diaper without having to hold her down like she's a mental patient. We also went to Scarletts first ever movie "The Croods" and she did amazing! I was really expecting to have to leave after 30 minutes, but she sat through the entire movie and didn't move once! Im so happy about it because I love going to the movies! I've been having so much fun with her, she's the best little friend I could ask for. <3

she made this face every time it was a little scary

hmmm

I am currently.....

devasted that I now live so far away from daily kitchen. dying to get my new car. obsessed with pottery barn (nothing new). loving my backyard (ill have to post a pic). waiting for my husband to get home with in n out. thinking I need to workout. ..do those last 2 contradict each other?.. enjoying the peace of my baby sleeping. dreading the rest of unpacking. craving a vacation. & a doughnut.

& Happy Easter

please read

As if my anxiety couldn't get any worse, I got into a horrible car accident driving home from work last week. This stupid, & really by stupid I mean horrible terrible words that I am too well mannered to say or type but not too well mannered to think ;) .. any ways... this stupid girl ran the red light going so fast and hit me almost head on because she was driving drunk. So drunk that she could not even stand up, but decided it was a good idea to drive anyway. I just don't get that! Ugh it makes me so angry. Now don't get me wrong, I am so beyond thankful that I am okay and I know it could have been so much worse.. But I am angry for the people that are not as fortunate and for the people that have been killed. I am angry that these selfish people who decide to drive drunk do not have harsher consequences. They get off so easy and then guess what, they do it again! For the sake of this girls family, I hope she learned her lesson. Since the men who she was with pleaded for me not to call the police because she had a newborn baby at home. (just so ya'll know, I called the police & the girl was arrested )As a mother myself, I would think she would think about that before she got in the car, but obviously not. Well I hope this girl never does this again. I hope other people read this and think before they drive if they have had anything to drink also. After being in this accident I looked up MADD (mothers against drunk driving) and was reading statistics that blow my mind. 

*About one-third of all drivers arrested or convicted of driving while intoxicated or driving under the influence of alcohol are repeat offenders.
*Adults drank too much and got behind the wheel about 112 million times in 2010 - that is almost 300,000 incidents of drinking and driving each day. 
*Every day in America, another 27 people die as a result of drunk driving crashes.
*50 to 75 percent of convicted drunk drivers continue to drive on a suspended license.
*On average, one in three people will be involved in a drunk driving crash in their lifetime.
*Drunk driving costs each adult in this country almost $500 per year.
*An average drunk driver has driven drunk 80 times before first arrest.

                  

TaTa

We're moving! We finally begged & bothered Tony's mom enough, and she agreed to nanny for us! His parents live pretty far, so to be fair we are moving close to them. Actually, we're practically soon to be neighbors. We were a little hesitant to move to the other side of town at first, but now we are super excited for a change. The fact that our new house has a pool & its 110 degrees in the summer here, might have something to do with it. Im dreading the packing and moving part... but on the brighter side, I was able to somehow talk Tony into letting me completely redecorate. (my favorite thing in the world) Pottery Barn has been slowly sucking all of the money from my bank account, I need to find another vice... Oh & Thank goodness I have this little sweet pea helping me pack. She even figured out to throw her knife and bowl into the kitchen box. My kid is a genius. 

red rock

What do you do when two people have terrible motion sickness? You go on a car ride through red rock that has twists & turns & makes ya wanna puke, of course! Well thats just what we did today. You would have thought we would have learned after doing "the road to Hana" in Maui... while I was pregnant! If anyone has done that drive you know what Im talking about. Its gorgeous, but torture to anyone who gets the slightest bit carsick. 

....Anyways, The drive was so pretty, the part I saw at least. I looked up about twice. Scarlett would have thought so too, but she was watching The Grinch, and obviously that was more interesting. 

We picked up Daily Kitchen on the way, our new favorite go to healthy spot to eat. We stopped & had a short, but sweet little picnic. It's way colder in the mountains & since it was so warm today, we weren't dressed for the cold. Scarlett would have stayed forever since her favorite thing is dirt. & whatta know? Theres a lot of dirt in the mountains. Car sickness aside, we had lots of fun, like usual. Were the 3 best friends that anyone could have. <3

           Ive been waiting for this day to come. I often think.. "Im surprised Scarlett hasn't tried to go out the doggy door yet." Well she did it. It all happened so fast I wasn't able to get a picture, but I did get a picture of Beasley's reaction. He must thinks she's a dog too. Her preferred way of eating is to throw the food on the floor and lick it off. She crawls around like a dog. She has started to lick me. & she's got the puppy face down perfectly. 

...She's also really good at being the cutest little girl ever. She likes all of her dolls to be wearing bows. But she doesn't wear one, she's Queen B, so I guess she doesn't have to.
