Harry Potter

We didn't make it to the midnight showing, nor did we try, but we decided to go to one of the evening shows opening day. We had a free movie ticket thanks to livingsocial.com so we felt like spoiling ourselves this time. We had a blast! Michael is the master of shirt making so I agreed to wearing one :) Michael came up with both designs. Aren't they great? He is so clever! I felt bad though because I accidentally made a mistake...I ironed the wrong pictures on the wrong t-shirts. Michael was suppose to wear the Harry Potter picture and me the sorting hat. I felt so bad. Michael forgave me (after not fitting into my shirt).

"Your mother is a horcrux..." (this was suppose to be Michael's shirt.

"I'm not that sort of hat..."

Cute modeling of the homemade t-shirts!

At the theatre with our friends Amanda and Michael. (I forgot to get a picture with them).

At home after the movie. The movie was great and we had so much fun just spending a night out together. I love this guy so much!

Flat Tire

The day I was suppose to take my siblings back up to Phoenix I discovered a flat tire. I ended up taking my mom's van instead so everything worked out fine. That night after work my awesome husband went to work! He put the spare on took our car into work the next day and bought me 4 new tires (we were planning on replacing them)! I downloaded the pictures out of order but you can read from the bottom up if you want the correct order :)

I'm so glad I married a handy man! Isn't he cute?

This was a piece of cake for him.

Here's the reason we had a flat. I seem to like to run over nails in the road. Oops!

Taking the wheel off to find the problem. While Michael changed the tire I went ahead and thoroughly cleaned out the trunk. It sure looks better now.

Lots to Share

Mom, My sister Alene, her husband, kids and I all went to the Children's Museum earlier this month and we had a blast! It was so fun to watch the boys use their imaginations and figure out how things work. The boys look adorable and everyone else looks great in every picture. I on the other hand pulled all my hair up to cool off and well... not my cutest look. Overall it was a great day and I can't wait to visit my sister and her family again soon!

Nathan had fun with the siren on this baby.

My cute mommy and me!

Sisters!

Don't judge... I wanted to try out the police motorcycle too.

Nathan loved the fire truck. He had to get a picture with all of inside.

Me, Alene and Michael. It took us about 5 attempts to get all our heads in one shot.

Cute little Nathan and Zen.

And Another!

Here's another pair of baby shoes I made! Cute little shoes!

I've Started A New Hobby!

I have been crocheting like a mad woman this past week in hopes of making some cute baby gifts for family and friends! (I'm not pregnant) I've gotten pretty fast at it really and I am excited to start new projects soon. My next project is to make a quilt but that won't be finished for a while because I am collecting old shirts, pants, shots, etc from our "give away" pile until I have enough for a quilt. I got the idea from a story of a woman who wasted nothing, and one of her ways of doing this was to keep all the clothes they grew out of and turned them into a quilt. Anyway, that's my future project idea.

Here are 2 pictures of what I've made so far. 1. Cute baby girl shoes and 2. Cute little eskimo hat (I still need to finish the straps but I just couldn't wait to post about it!)

I hope I win!

This is a little blog about Shelf Reliance! I am sharing this blog with everyone in hopes of winning some new product! Happy Birthday to Hilary :) I hope I win!!!

Running & Coupons!

I've been trying to be cool and use coupons every time I go shopping, but I haven't been having the best luck with it. First my computer won't print any coupons from freecoupons.com (where most of the coupons I want are!) I've downloaded the printer app successfully but the website won't recognize it! (arg... so frustrating!) Anyway.. I've come upon some good deals but nothing to brag about yet. I don't seem to find anything for free. At least I'm saving some money right? ha ha ha.

Quick update on us... We are almost done with this semester! Only a couple days left to go! I will be happy to have Michael home in the evenings again. It gets pretty boring around here without him :( I will have to start that new hobby I have in mind soon so I have something new to share for once :)

I have been keeping myself busy with exercising. I have been at it for almost a month now and I am feeling great! I had started running back in January but I ended up hurting my knee. I'm pretty sure I twisted it real bad when I went home for a visit in CA and played soccer with my brother. Whatever I did it kept me in a knee brace for a month which meant no running. Even walking was painful at times. I stayed off my knee for two months to make sure it healed all the way and then started running again in March. I've been waking up early to escape running in the heat and I've really been enjoying it! I highly recommend getting outdoors, it is so beautiful and fun! With waking up so early, I have so much time during the day I almost don't know what to do to keep myself busy. I've applied for summer jobs but no takers so far. Secretly I'm okay with this :) I've had more time to make yummy dinners (which I know Michael has been enjoying) and spend all the time I can with Michael once he's home. When I was working at the mall I had the evening shift so we hardly saw each other because he worked mornings, not to mention dinners got pretty lame around here for a while. I'll stop rambling now so you can all be saved from boredom. I guess I'll get back to organizing my coupons!
