Happy 2nd Birthday Rian!

Rian turned two this month. I can't believe how big she is getting. She has such a cute personality and is getting more fun each day. She is talking quite a bit (contrary to popular belief) and is even saying 2 word phrases. She can finally jump and can actually get her two little feet off the ground. She is so proud of herself when she does it too! (she's been practicing for a while now.) Rian is such a girl. She asks me to put curlers in her hair, so she can be pretty like a princess. She is so good and will sit still for almost an hour so I can put the sponge curlers in. She loves her babies and especially her mickey and minnie mouse stuffed animals. She also loves Disneyland and will do a little dance every single time she hears the word 'Disneyland'. This week, Rian is spending time at Disneyland with some of our close friends. They call us everyday and she is having a blast. What 2 year old gets to go on a vacation without mom and dad?!? How lucky we are to have Rian in our family. We love you Rian! Happy Birthday!!

Cabbage Patch with Hair Extensions!

Baby Buggy

Opening Presents-we really had to keep Rian on task to open them all up.


Rian was so cute. She would totally cheese it when someone wanted a picture.

Cinderella Costume from Fogals (I have recently fitted it to her.)

Rian in new outfit from Grandma Millett.

Perhaps one of Rian's favorite parts of her birthday. The Balloons!

Rian loved the Birthday Cake!!


Rian received all kinds of dolls. She plays with every one of them too. Many thanks to everyone who gave gifts and came to celebrate Rian's birthday with us.

Two Covers for Brandi

Purple Bow

Zu Zu's Petals


These two covers I made for Brandi. I love how they turned out! They are both so different, but perfect for her little princess. Thanks again Brandi!

Sunshine Serenade

I love this one!

Rian needs bows like these ones!

New Carseat Canopy!

Back at it again! I have been sewing like crazy lately. This one turned out so cute. I am now debating on making some more to sell at my mother-in-laws boutiques coming up in October. If you are interested in one let me know. I sell them for $40-$50 dollars, depending on the embellishments.

All because it is a CIVIC...





John got up for work like any other ordinary day. He went to get into his car when he realized something was wrong. Someone had broken into his car! They totally messed up his cd player, jacked up his ignition with a screw driver or something, and tore everything out of his glove box. As far as we can tell they didn't take anything. How not happy I am that we have to deal with this today. ughh!!!!

Not so funny story

Today I went to work like any normal day. I do some money counting at my job to get the registers ready for the day. When I have finished counting, I have to put the drawers out in the registers. They are quite heavy with all the change in them, so in order to not make more than one trip, we use an office chair to stack the drawers on. So I put the drawers out in the registers. We were ready for our morning meeting at this point and there was only 3 of us (including the manager). So I though to myself (being pregnant and all) that I would sit in the chair I had used during the meeting. I sat down in the chair and leaned back. To my surprise one of the back legs snapped and I fell backwards-hitting my head on the checkout counter and falling to the floor. My manager and associate kindly helped me up. Besides having a nasty headache, I learned that apparently pregnant Jennie was too heavy for that chair. lol I am guessing if it hadn't happened to me, it would have broken on the next person who used it. We watched this on the cameras at our store and it was so funny I just had to laugh at myself and share it with you all. I still have a headache as I am writing this 11 hours later. I think I will be going to see my chiropractor first thing in the morning.
