Christmas Time...

Hello All! So lately I have been taking lots of pictures of others, which has left little to no time at all for pictures of us, but I promise, weather permitting we should have some new pictures up this week and christmas cards ready to send soon as well. Hope everyone's holiday season is going good so far. Mine has been great, not only is Christmas this month, but it was also my birthday on the 12th! I love my birthday, as a general rule its celebrated for at least the entire month! smiles. 


My mom was soooo nice and came to visit me for a few days and helped me care for my daughter who figured out how to crawl out of her crib around thanksgiving! Since then she's been driving me crazy because she wouldn't sleep! But while my mom was here we found the cozy crib tent II! It has saved my life. It basically traps her in her crib and now she cannot climb out of it anymore! She kinda of has her own little fort! Instead of having to deal with Sofia for 12-13 hours a day with no break, she is now back to her normal routine of napping and sleeping at night! Thank the stars above. She may never have gotten another sibling if that continued!

Also Evan has been wonderful! He decorated the whole house for me! I also love birthday decorations. Balloons, streamers...the whole bit and he watched Sofia for an entire day for me, what a marvelous husband!

Thank you to all those who left me messages and texts on my B-Day, it was so nice to hear from all of you! Love you all and be looking for our christmas card in the mail within about a week.

Happy Shopping!  Jules

The movie has Come...

TWILIGHT...


So I am very happy to announce that I was able to see Twilight this past weekend on opening night, with my friend Lauren! And we had a blast! 

Special shout out to Danny for watching my child and their children so that we could go. 

Okay back to the movie. So like many fans of the books I was worried that the movie may really stink, but I must say I was pleasantly surprised! Edward, oh my gosh! Ya what else can I say...amazing. Most of the movie followed the book besides the fact that some areas may have been a bit rushed and others skipped all together but really for the most part it was accurate, and well put together! I loved it and am going to see it again with my mom over thanksgiving! Thank you Stephanie Myer for creating a story that brings back that tingling feeling of a new crush...we love you! 

And PS Lauren it was so fun seeing the movie with you! It's nice to see movies with someone who appreciates a good girl movie!  

Fun Night out with Friends...

So I know it's not even thanksgiving yet, but fashion island is ready for Christmas. Last Saturday evening we were lucky enough to get a babysitter and spend some time with Evan's old roommates Troy and Nate and their wives Laurel and Emily! And we had a great time. Beginning the holiday season with a Bang! Happy Thanksgiving!

The fun just never Ends!

A Day of Birthdays! Ride em CowGirl! Avery loved her new horse...

We had sooo much fun this weekend! Sofia and I started Saturday morning out at Jump and Shout with the Fraiser's to help them celebrate Kay and Whitney's birthdays. I wanted to post some photos, but I forgot my camera in the car(my arms were already very full). But we took plenty of photos later on in the day at Avery's 1st birthday party which was also a ton of fun. I dressed up as a farmer and Sofi was a duck, without the duck feathers because it was way too hot for that. Anywho sorry for all the details! Hope all our friends and family enjoyed their weekend as well and we are looking forward to seeing all of the fabulous photos from halloween this next week. Love Jules

Fun on the Swing!

What cute little farm animals!

Two duckies and two lambs! Old McDonald had a farm...and all the animals were so cute.

You'll never guess what I Won?...

After attending Kay&Whitney's party, as well as Avery's party, Sofia and I headed off to our last party of the day that evening at our church! It was a special Halloween Event. The kids participated in a trick or treating activity and then everyone came inside to eat. I entered the chili cook off contest and I won! Can you believe it? Here I am with my Chili Can Trophy! Whoopee! A great ending to a perfectly wonderful day. Love Jules

Aunt Vicki's Happy Un-Birthday!

My uncle and cousins threw a much needed party for my aunt the other day. She has been suffering from MS now for many years and is not able to get around very often, or do many of the things she used too. I am happy that my dad and I were able to attend to let her know that we love and support her! Happy Birthday Aunt Vicki!

Cheesy Grins...two peas in a pod

Me and My Dad!

Awesome Hay Stack and Barn!

My Uncle Brain and Aunt Vicki are not farmers, but they sure do love animals! In their back yard you can see things like this, along with chickens, roosters, geese, cats, dogs and many other animals!

Gotta love the classic Radio Flyer Wagon in my Uncle's backyard

My cousins Jodie and Kyle!

Book Signing with Giada De Laurentes

Daphne, Sofia and I were lucky enough to go to Williams and Sonoma last week to meet Giada, chef of Everyday Italian on the Food Network. It was soooo much fun! I had her sign Sofia's name to the book in hopes that I can train her to be the Next Food Network Star! Smiles!

Daphne!
