Memorial Day Weekend

His face expressions in the back are just to funny! ha
My Memorial Day weekend was a lot of fun, On Saturday my little cousins came over and we went to Shakey's for pizza to go see our other cousin. Then Sunday came along and I went thrift shopping and found some really cool things, well cool in my eyes ha. Monday I kind of just hung out at home, we did go to get Ice Cream and I got the cutest picture of my brother with the best Ice Cream mustache!
My little cousin Mikey
Soo the thing is I went to Shakey's right but I forgot to take pictures since I was having so much fun! Silly me right? But anyway while we were there I realized I didn't have any cash so I saw there was a bank practically right across the street so I told my cousin (who is 15 and to cool for Shakey's) that I needed to go to the bank so I forced him to come with me. We walked over there and on our way back we he saw a Starbucks and said "Oh, Can we get Starbucks!" and Me being obsessed with Tea said of course but we couldn't go back with it since our Family was there. So we literally sat on a curb (explaining the picture above) and drank our drinks but while we sat there this man walking his husky came by (I have an obsession with Animals!) and I was telling him how gorgeous his dog was. We had a full on 20 minute convo with the man that we totally forgot how long we were gone for! There was no point to that little story I just though it was interesting what things can happen if you have little adventures on the side of everything.
 
And just in case you were interested I got the Passion Fruit Lemonade and Kid got the Mocha Cookie Crumble!
 
Skull Piggy Bank: $2:50
Bag of Ribbon: $0.70
Conan Shirt: $1.00
Camera Bag: $2.50
 
I honestly went to 4 different Thrift Stores and got 1 thing from each ha. The skull was for my Uncle just because when I saw it I though of him. The ribbon is of course for me cause I love to craft. The Conan shirt was for my best Friend Yaritza since she is obsessed with Conon O' Brien. And the Camera case was for my camera since I didn't have one for my camera yet. I had a lot of fun looking through everything and trying to find little treasures for myself and others.
 
P.S I've also found this drink that I am now in love with!!
 
 
Perfect Ice Cream Mustache right there!!!
I thought this photo was so cute! I love how perfect the ice cream mustache looks on
the left of him! Oh My Glob!! So much cuteness!!
 
Here is the aftermath of that photo!
Birdie Bird in Pita's bed.
My Grandma had to clean out Birdie's cage so I told her she could keep her in my room. She just stood there and really didn't fly around much. But she did seem to like Pita's bed a lot. I just felt bad because Pita wanted to come in and I couldn't let her. But no worries, I made it up to her by giving her treats!
 
What did you guys do for Memorial Day Weekend? BBQ's? Friends? Family? Tell me!

Old Friends & Thrifting

Yesterday I got to hang out with my old friend Barbie, We went to school together and the last time I saw her was for our Graduation last November. She told me she was pregnant and I was so happy for her! I couldn't believe it. But now she is 8 months pregnant with a baby boy on the way due July 10th!! Oh My Glob, I'm still in disbelief and she told me 6 months ago!! haha
I'm such a giant compared to all my friends! There all so tiny!
It was so nice getting to talk to her and catch up. I really missed her but life gets so busy with a baby around. I give a lot of props to all the stay at home Mom's because honestly its not easy! It takes a lot of hard work and PATIENCE. Boy does it take a lot of patience especially when they start crawling/walking around and getting into EVERYTHING! But anyway getting back on the subject, I'm just so glad I got a chance to see her before the baby gets here! I'm so excited to meet him and can hardly wait for him to get here! Anthony will have a new play date now, when he gets a little older of course. Ha.
8 Months Pregnant! Still looking Beautiful. She's just all belly!

 
But Today was a different Story! 
I went to a few thrift stores today and ended up getting some cute children/baby books. I saw a lot of other cute/fun things but weren't good enough to spend money on or they were things I really didn't need. But I figured book for the baby was a good idea since I love reading to him.
These were a little more for me but who cares, I'm the one that's going to be reading to him anyway right? ha
 
These were more for the baby. I think Oswald is one of the cutest shows ever! so I got him a few Oswald books and the Disney ones with the paws on them are just more of learning books that I though were adorable.
There was a sale at my local thrift store that was buy one get one free of equal or lesser price on children's books so I only spent $4.85 for all these! I was so happy!
 
I also got this book here but there was no price on it so the man said I could have it for free since I already bough so many books! It's just a little plastic type book for when he plays in the tub! I love to read in the bath maybe he does to? ha
 
I also went to Wal Mart on my way home and got a few more goodies cause who can help but to check out goodies!
Tie Dye Kit: $7.00
Kabuki Brush: $3.93
Wet N Wild Polishes: $0.00
Music Note Fabric: $.99
I always check out the clearance sections so that's where I found the Tie Dye kit. I wanted to make a Tie Dye Tote bag so maybe I'll do a DIY blog on that? Hmmm... But anyway I got the Kabuki Brush for My Mom because I've been looking for one but there pretty pricy but who can beat $3.93? The Wet N Wild nail polishes I got for free since I had a coupon. I figure I could use the clear for fraying fabric and the other colors are for my Momma bear. The music note fabric I found in the left over fabric bin at Wal Mart and it didn't have a price so they gave it to me for $.99 I was so excited!
 
I just realized I haven't posted a Picture of Anthony yet!! Oh My Glob!!
Here he is making a mess in my room today!

Anyway I think I'll just relax for the rest of the night cuddle up with my
doggy and listen to some Pink Floyd!

My Grandma ended up forgetting something at target so
 I went with her and got two more things
 
Fruttare: $1.25
Flip Flops: $0.00
Thanks to allthingstarget.com & totallytarget.com I found out about A LOT of these deals!
The total price of everything regular priced would have been $105.06 but thanks to sales it brought it down to $99.13. I saved a total of $56.75 with coupons and got $10 back in target gift cards. I also saved $1.62 by using a target red card! But all in all I saved $74.30 and only paid $30.76!!
Thank goodness for coupons!
 
My love bug loves being outside but gets into EVERYTHING so I figured I would put
 him in his play pen and he still loved it! Can't you tell by his tiny smile :)
Other than my couponing I got to spend some more time with my mom since she got two days off in a row. We hung out in the backyard again. She read her book (Dragonfly in Amber) while I played with the baby. She is really enjoying her book and it makes me want to start reading again. I have like a stack of books (The Reader, Hobbit, Perks of Being A Wallflower & The Great Gatsby) sitting on my nightstand collecting dust. I should just try and start while the baby takes his naps right?
 
My dog being... well my dog!
My brother really LOVES our dog pita but she's already 8 years old and can get a little feisty. Especially since she was the baby before he got here! She literally was so spoiled! What do I mean was, I mean IS! But anyway They are getting along pretty well lately, He grabbed her by her hair the other day since he doesn't really know not to and she didn't do anything. She just waited for me to come and save her and she just licked him. I'm so glad she's getting used to him. It was a little hard at first for both of us but how can you not love that little munchkin right?
 
 
Anyway, I think I'll listen to some Wavves while on Tumblr then head off to bed since I have to be up early to get to the DMV. I figured I'm 20 already I should have a California ID already! Alrighty Night!

Happy 40th Momma!!!

Happy Birthday to my one and only Momma Bear! I love you with all my heart and so much more.
Your my Sun, Moon, & Stars and always will be!
 Today marks a special day in my calendar! It's my mothers BIRTHDAY!! She turned 40 today. I'm so glad my Brother and I got to spend the day with her! It was amazing, I didn't have much money so with the little money I did have I bought stuff to make My mom an Ice Cream Pie :)) Mmmmmm.

We ended up having a Mini pool party in our backyard!
We set up my brothers tiny pool and I set out blankets for My Mom and I. \
My Grandma decided we would have a BBQ, So she made macaroni salad while my
Uncle barbecued the bacon wrapped hot dogs and corn.   

I'm super obsessed with Dinosaurs so a couple of years ago my Mom got me these Dino
eggs for my Easter basket. I found them in the garage the other day and decided Anthony
could play with them in the pool! They worked out perfect since the float and are so cute and colorful!!!

My Grandma and Pita on the swing! My two old ladies.
It honestly was the perfect day. I couldn't ask for a better family cause honestly I think mine is pretty rad!
While Anthony was in the pool my Mom and I just relaxed. She read her book (Dragonfly in Amber) while I searched the internet for cute Doc Martens. Which are all cute so it's not hard to do haha. We painted our toes, talked and just got to spend some quality time together. I really missed her and I'm super duper glad we got to hang out.
It was to warm to turn our oven on and wanted to make my Mom something special! So I made an Ice Cream Pie using Birthday Cake ice cream from target, graham cracker crust, cool whip, fresh strawberries, and SPRINKLES!! Because what kind of birthday would it be if it didn't have sprinkles?!?!?! haha
I love you MOM and I hope you had the best Birthday EVER! Your the most gorgeous 40 year old I've ever met and I can't believe I have you as my Momma! Your the reason I'm the silly outgoing person I am today and I'm so grateful to have you in my life! I love you Momma bear!

Crafty Monday's

Emily is such a cutie pie!!
 
Hello!!! I've been waiting to craft for awhile and I'm so glad today was the day! My friends Lucy and Yaritza came over today. Yaritza brought her Daughter Emily who is turning 2 in July. She is the cutest little munchkin ever! She looks just like a mini Dora the Explorer!! I had so much fun. We made headbands, bows, & earrings!

 
Emily crafting with Lucy.

 
Emily and Anthony playing
Anthony and Emily seemed to like each other a lot Anthony kept smiling at Emily and wanted to play with her and Emily seemed the same. I let Anthony go on the floor so he could play with her but since he's a boy he tackled her and she didn't like it! I guess since I'm such a tom boy sometimes I play a little rough with him and he thinks that's okay for everyone. Oops my bad! Haha but it's okay she still liked him even after that!
 
They are just the cutest little buttons ever!!
 
My Best Friend Yaritza really seemed to like my flower crown! I should make her one, It really
seemed Lana Del Rey ish. It also made her seem very Hipster ish as well.
But the Vampire Weekend shirt didn't help! Also the Mustache
Tumblr didn't help very much either hahaha.

Momma Bear, Anthony, Yaritza, Me, And Luchy!!
My Momma got home around 9:30 from work. She came in my room to talk to my friends and Me. I really enjoy my Mom's company especially since she's been working so much. She gets along with my friends really well and my friends really like her to! My Mom isn't the average mom, She's more of the silly type but I Love her with all my heart!
 
I really like this photo A LOT!!
I had a really fun day and I'm glad I got to spend it with my Family and Friends! Most Monday's aren't that great but I can sure say mine was a Monday Funday! :D

Baby Steps



Snuggles with cousin.

My Sunday was filled with lots of playing and baby snuggles!! Since my cousins were over it was a full house this weekend and my brother absolutely loved it. He took his first steps on Saturday and I couldn't be any more excited! He's growing up so quick I can't believe it!
 


The little softball player playing in the backyard.

He's been enjoying the backyard lately which is great since summer is coming.
We have a park up the street from where I live and I'm hoping if it doesn't get to hot
 we can spend a lot of time there
 
Classic Anthony! As soon as I put my hair down he's already attacking it.
Yep That's my brother!
 
Since we dropped off the kids my brother was able to see his Godparents.
They enjoy him so much!
 
My brother taking a few steps by himself!! So EXCITING!!
 
I love to see pictures like these and see how this little man can put such smiles
 on there faces. They love him so much!  
This weekend was absolutely so much fun I'm so glad I got to spend it with my family,
 they make me so happy.
