Cutest t-shirts Ever!!!

The Nordstrom sale was so great! We got some really cute things, and I spent way too much! I got 2 fabulous shirts for Derek, and I just had to share. One says 'Lord of the Rings' and has stacking rings (as pictured above). The other one is a vintage T that says 'Mr. Happy', which is so Derek. They were such a splurge, but I had to buy them!

Nordstrom Sale, Yipee!!!

Tomorrow, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale begins! I am so excited! Ever since I can remember, I have attended this sale. It is a tradition in my family. From as far back as I can remember, my mom, my sister, and I have gone shopping the very first day of the sale. They open at 7:00 and we are always there 15 minutes early. They have the best deals, especially the shoes. I get a lot of the kids clothes there for fall and winter. My lovely husband is taking off some time from his work so that I can go, and I think that Ethan is going with me. When Kylie gets a little older, I will just take her. Oh, and of course I am going with my fabulous mother, who is my most favorite shopping partner!!! The picture is a fun little photo that I found of my mom and I in Yellowstone 3 years ago. I thought it was pretty cute!!!

My beautiful Blake and Derek!

Once again, I had to grab my camera and get some photos of Blake and Derek. Ky and Ethan had ran off to play together. So, I was able to get some pretty cute photos of Blake and Derek. My favorite one is the one of Blake with his chin in his hand, he is so precious. Now that Derek has learned to pull up on everything, it is pretty impossible to get any really posed shots of him. But thats o.k. because I love the candid pictures better anyway!

Random Facts About Me!

So, I have been tagged yet again! My sister Jamie has tagged me to list 7 different, random facts about myself. They can be funny, silly, whatever. Then I get to choose a few new people to tag, so they can list 7 random things about themselves. This is super fun, because it is wide open and you can list anything. Please list the rule when you are tagged and post your random facts.


1-I am the biggest control/neat freak! I do everything in a certain order, and I get really sad if it gets messed up. I also vaccum at least one time a day, sometimes twice. I really like to see those lines on the carpet! Everything in my house has a system and HAS to be done a certain way(no one is allowed to load the dishwasher except me!) When you have 4 children, you have to run a pretty tight ship!

2-I LOVE any kind of state or county fair. I love the animals, the music, and the food. I love the little stands set up with people selling their goods. I could stay for hours!

3-I have a great deal of love for animals. Any kind. I even like snakes and spiders and creepy things! At our house we never kill a spider or bug, mommy just takes them outside, (I can't kill anything!) Goats and dogs are by far my favorite, and I hope to someday have a farm and just kiss and cuddle all of my sweet animals all day long!

4-I'm completely addicted to magazines. I love pretty much any kind, especially Glamour, People, Parenting, National Geographic, and any scrapbooking magazine.

5-Shopping is my true calling! I LOVE to shop! I love any kind of shopping. My favorite stores are GAP Kids, Nordstrom, American Eagle, Abercrombie and Fitch, and Hollister.

6-Like my sister, I too love 80's music. Pretty much any kind- rock, new wave, pop. I may be totally sick, but I also kind-of like the style of the 80's. I know, i'm a weirdo!

7-I have become obsessed with photography and taking photo of my children. Since Adrian gave me my great camera, I take way too many photos! I also have tons of pictures all over my house, I love to look at my kids!

So now I am tagging a few people to list 7 random facts. I tag Kristen, Rachel, Heather, and Brooke. I hope that you have fun. I know that we will enjoy reading them!!!
