Eliza's First Birthday!

We set up:

It's suppose to be a pirate flag, get it?

This is the ridiculous Tinkerbell cake that my mom made.

5 cakes + 6 things of icing = best 1st birthday cake ever

Then everbody arrived and we opened presents (before Eliza got too tired)

And by we I mean Brandon and I

Then we blew out the candle on her gigantic cake.

And Eliza had her first birthday cake.

The rest of the night was spent visiting and I set up a photobooth. I was very pleased with the results;

 Sorry for the uber long post, alot happened I mean it was a pretty big event. It was so hard to filter through all the awesome pictures. It all turned out great though. Well hope ya'll had a good weekend!

Sneak Peak

of Eliza's Birthday! I've been working non-stop to get stuff together for Saturday and let me tell you, after Saturday I'm going to have tons of tutorials on all the cool stuff I've been making. Here's a little preview- theme is Tinkerbell/Neverland:

I can't for the life of me choose and stick to one layout! I just feel like they're not right for my blog? If that makes sense... but I really like this one. Not too much but cute. It may be around for a while, we'll see.

50's Picnic and Thrift Store Finds

Brandon and I had our first weekend without Eliza to relax in our house soo we planned ourselves a little picnic 50's style! So we got on our little outfits, packed up our basket, bought some sandwiches from Quiznos, and headed to the nearest park.

(this is my bf, isn't he cute!)

(pardon the cleavage)

So we pick this little spot under a gazebo with a table inside and I started setting up. I put the picnic basket on the table and leaned over to grab the table cloth when I feel a sting on my leg! I leaned back and it was this little bugger!

It's called an Asp or Puss Caterpillar, and happens to be the most toxic caterpillar in the U.S. Dandy, right? Luckily I had Benedryl in the car so I avoided an allergic reaction. 

(30 min. after)

(2 days after, you can see the outline of the caterpillar!)

 It hurt for a couple hours but I was fine for the most part. It did however ruin our picnic. We were forced to commence on our living room floor, it was nice though. AC, no mosquitos, and a comfortable floor.

And our quiznoes was dang good.

While I was gone, I also picked up two awesome treasures from this junky Thrift Store.

The second one I have been looking for and they're like $20, I found this one for $3. The first I didn't need but I have the most perfect spot for it.

Oh and one more thing!

Eliza got her first cold, here's a pic for smiles! Even cute with snot running down her nose!

Red Hair

I have been wanting to dye my hair red for a couple of weeks now but am kind of waiting till I stop breastfeeding. Plus I'm a little nervous, I've always been into changing my hair color but when I got pregnant my hair got really dark and I kind of like it. So I'm stuck between enjoying my natural hair or doing something drastic. I have this thought that I should dye my hair now while I'm young and adventurous because I'll have the rest of my life to enjoy my natural color but red is a bid step, ya know? Aggghh I can't decide! Anyways here are some colors I really like. My favorite is Mary Kate's, I love her.

In other news, Eliza has her first cold! And she was so generous to pass it on to me! Of course the week my dad went out of town, I get sick and can't enjoy it... life is wonderful that way. I have a doctor's apt. tomorrow so we'll see.

Oh! I almost forgot! I changed my layout once again, you like?
