Mud Pie Love

One of my favorite brands of children’s clothing is Mud Pie.  I am so excited they are also making clothing and accessories for women now too!  I can’t wait for cooler weather so I can wear some of the new fall line.  Isn’t this stuff cute? 

 I love these tunics
 Slippers and bags
I adore the pj pants for women!
 And below are a few examples the PRECIOUS baby clothing they sell!

 I’m so ready for fall and Christmas now…and I need a GIRL to dress up in all this cute stuff huh?

LOVE IT ALL!!!
I am a bit obsessed with children’s clothing you think?

Brain Dump of the Week

This summer it’s incredibly hot.  It’s the kind of weather that wants me to pack my bags and shack up with my BFF Sara in Alaska.  I want to hibernate in a fridge all day. 
Oh!  Did I tell ya’ll I am getting a COMPLETE MAKEOVER on July 2nd???  I won the makeover and I’ll also be giving one away to a lucky reader too!  I am so excited!  I can’t decide if I want to go back to dark hair or go even lighter for the summer???  Suggestions would be awesomeness!
Speaking of hair : I love this messy side bun I’ve been wearing lately.  It’s so easy and if I’m having a bad hair day it’s my go to hairstyle….

This little dude has had nothing but attitude all week.  He’s getting some teeth in that is for SURE!  What happened to my angel child???  I know this will pass….hopefully soon.  In the mean time I’m just trying to stay on top of the Orajel & Tylenol…..oh and coffee too!

My AWESOME sister made this shirt for Connor to wear on 4th of July this year
Isn’t it cute?  I didn’t even know she could so that well!  Thanks Bonnie we LOVE it and it’s extra special because you made it!  She has an Etsy shop too 🙂

I love being able to pack Connor’s lunch now & not worry about packing breast milk bottles or other miscellaneous “baby” items.  It is so much easier with table foods.  I finally took both bottle racks off my kitchen counter this weekend and it freed up so much space.  His lunch box and plate/bowl are from SkipHop.  Aren’t they precious!

I bought some blank note cards at Target this past weekend.  I love to write letters and use cute stationary.  It’s so much more thoughtful than an email.  I found these note cards and they came with a template to print your own personal message on front.  I was playing around and some of them are crooked, but for the most part they turned out cute!

I love Flav-o-ice.  It’s my favorite summertime treat
Connor is loving them right now. I’m sure they feel good on his gums!

I saw this cake in my Martha Stewart Living Magazine last week.  I must make it sometime.  It’s called a chocolate chip cookie ice box cake and it looks A-mazing!

Does anyone else think there is a cat in the right hand side of this tree?
Toodles!
FYI: I still can’t comment on blogs because pop up blockers are ruining my life 🙁
If you want to chit chat I’m on Twitter, and I hope no one is offended by my lack of comment love.
I can still look at them thought….sigh…..

Weekend in Review

We celebrated Father’s Day with Terence’s family on Saturday night.  We normally have a family dinner every Sunday night. I’m thankful we do this or we would probably fall into the routine of only seeing family once a month or even less.  It gives us an opportunity to talk about our lives and let the kids all play and bond with each other. 
So here we are : Fathers Day 2011
Brother in law and sister in law
(Joel & Rebecca)
Cutting the Father’s Day cake
I love Central Market cakes….they are always so good!

Connor carried around Aunt Rebecca’s purse for a least 30 minutes.  He has a thing for purses, what can I say?  He’s certainly my kid because as a child I was obsessed with carrying a purse too! LOL!

Terence’s brother Paul, his wife Liz, & daughter Hannah
Zeeee yummy cake
Connor loves this car over at Grana & Pops house

We may have to look into getting him one of those some day.  Poor little guy takes after his Dad & gets beet red in the face when it’s hot outside.

Terence washing some dishes
Granddaddy & all his great grandchildren
This was the best photo out of like the 10 I took…it’s hard to get all the kids to pose for a picture these days!
Niece Alisha
“Don’t leave me outside everyone!!!”
It’s a FULL table!

And here is my honey on Fathers Day with the card we got him.  I ordered the card from Tiny Prints and they did a GREAT job!  I’ll definitely be ordering cards from them again.  I love you so much my Ter-Bear.  You are the best husband & Daddy we could ever wish for and thank you for all you do for us!

His card has a coffee cup on it & in the center is a pic of him and Connor 🙂
I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GREAT FATHERS DAY!!!

My Daddy

I love you so much my precious Daddy!

You are the best Dad a daughter could ever wish for.  Thanks for putting up with me all these years.  You’ve not only been a Dad, but a friend as well and as the years go by I love you even more.  I’m thankful for the man of God you are, the husband you are to Mom, & the Poppy you are to Connor & Jarrett.  We are so blessed to have you.  I love you so SO much! 
Love, Becky

 Dad knows me well!

Dinner with Friends

We celebrated our friend Jenne’s birthday at a cute little mexican restaurant in Grapevine.  I’ve never been to that part of town and it was so cute!  We ate indoors because it’s 105 degrees outside!  Whew!  Taking Connor to restaurants these days is quite an adventure because he doesn’t want to sit still.  It’s so nice to get out and “hang” with other people.  Terence may or may not have had too many blue margaritas 😛

 Amber & Kylon
 The birthday girl & her cousin
This is Erin
You’ll be seeing more of her pretty face 
 I am taking some pictures of her and her fiance this weekend 🙂

I got Birchbox #3 in the mail.  I love this program it is AWESOME-NESS!  For $10.00 a month you get a box full of makeup/skin care products.  I mean some of this stuff I wouldn’t even consider a sample size because it’s a full size product 🙂

I also got some of this Moroccan Argan Oil from Ulta.  I’ve heard a lot about Moroccan oil from Twitter friends so I thought I would try it out.

Have any of you ever used these tan towels? 
I am SO white….so I’ll see how this works.
