I Always Feared This Day Would Happen.....

The day that Ella would finally get a decent amount of hair, and then Chop it off!!!

I have always made it very clear to Ella, not to cut her own hair since she watches me daily cut other peoples hair. I've lectured her up and down about never touching mommy's scissors and how only mommy can cut your hair...blah blah blah blah.

Well, apparently I didn't lecture her about her own safety scissors (and yes they do cut hair)

When I asked why she did it she told me: "Well my hair was in my eyes and I couldn't see" she was doing a craft at the time, hence the safety scissors being close at hand in her craft bucket.

Although I get the theory behind the reason for cutting her hair. I was so upset/sad/bummed out. I have fixed many lil girls "own haircuts" in my day and Ella's could have been a lot worse, but still I thought I had avoided it all these years and I was finally in the clear....nope. Here's to a speedy hair growth spurt right??!

Before: Just after I gave her a cute A-Line bob.

After: Ella's own creative masterpiece

Ella did remind me after all was said and done "Don't worry mom it will grow back" Yes I do know that, it's just all the creative ways we will have to style it in the mean time that we have to get through....great ;)

Pinch! Pinch!

Larry the Leprechaun made an appearance at our house this morning. Ella was so excited to find the sweet treat he left behind.

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Hope you have the luck of the Irish and make it through the day with out a pinch.

Girls Trip/B-day Weekend

Holla! girls trip time :)

It just so happen to fall on my birthday weekend to...plus plus! This trip was with my collage roomies. IT WAS A BLAST!!! We spent 3 days a Disneyland with no kids. We could stay out as late as we want, eat what we want, basically we just ran around like little kids. Although, 3 days straight wore this preggo girl out! D-Land is totally different pregnant. Feet got swollen, was super tired, but I think I kept up with the rest of them. I was not going to miss out. SO. MUCH. FUN. My friends' hubby works for Disney, so lucky us, she got all of us in for FREE! and gets 50% off the whole park. Thanks you Jess, you are the best!! Who gets to go to D-Land 3 days in a row for FREE?? we do. lucky ducks.

Before I left for the happiest place on earth, my sweet lil family took me to breakfast for my b-day. Made me homemade cards (which I love) sang happy birthday while Dan made me feel super old by sticking all 31 candles into one tiny cupcake. Whew, that looks like too many candles right?

Well, when the candles were lit....the thing looked like it was on fire! Yes the smoke alarm did go off....nothing says your getting older then setting off the fire alarm from your birthday cake :) haha. Thanks sweetie.

                                                                                Side note:
***Dan and Ella had a very fun filled daddy/daughter weekend to. Full of movies, pet stores, parks and pool. They needed their re-bonding time since Dan has been gone so much due to non-stop studying. Ella was so happy to have daddy all to herself. so cute.

With out further ado, here is a picture re-cap of our fun filled D-land adventure....

This was my birthday get up from dinner. Flower corsage, flower ring, and whats a birthday at D-land with out a princess crown?! Yep, I felt special :)

I Love us! It was like back in the day when we were roomies, staying up late laughing our heads off, remembering funny inside jokes and having just a fabulous time. I can wait till next trip. Yay. And Happy 31 to me.

Just for the heck of it...Here are a few pictures from our very 1st girls trip with my roomies. Hawaii 2001. We were just babes. Just barely 20 or 21 years old. wow. we look so young!!

Halfway Done!!

I'm halfway done with this pregnancy...whew. 20 weeks and still feeling sicky. Whoever says your sicker with girls is crazy or at least it's not true with me. Not a big fan of being preggo, but when I look back at pictures like these.....I can't help but get soooo excited to snuggle my brand new baby boy. Half way there and I can't wait to meet my lil fella.

Baby Ella and Daddy. These pics melt my heart. awwww.

PINK or BLUE???

Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails

it's a .........

What am I gonna do with a boy?? It's been all Tutus and Princesses over here.

Apparently this baby boy is coming in the nick of time.....this is what poor Dan has to endure with having a little girl. I'm sure he would appreciate some more masculinity in our household ;)
