About a month ago my cousins friend who writes for the Gilbert Republic asked if she could write an article on my nail paiting parties and of course I said yes... I wasnt even sure if she was going to publish it til about a week ago when doing a party for my cousin she mentioned that her sister-in-law read about it in the paper about two weeks ago... Anyways on Sunday I was looking through my blog and saw a couple of comments from people wanted to do a party and I was wondering how they found out about it... So last night I did a party for them and several people from the party said they read about me in the paper... I was pretty excited and decided to go online and look for the article... So here it is!

BOY!!!
We are super excited to have this new addition coming into our family and Paul is so excited to have a little boy to do manly things with like going camping and hiking! This will be the first grandson on both sides of our families so that is exciting too! We are finally at the half way mark and I hope it goes by fast...We are totally stuck on trying to come up with a name but at least we have several months to figure it out...
Other than that not much has been going on... We moved the end of September to a new apartment... Our rent is a little less which is great and it has a few more perks like washer and dryer hook ups. My dear parents as an early christmas present bought us a washer and dryer... this is the first time Paul and I have had a washer and dryer since we have been married and its GREAT! We also have a bigger kitchen which makes cooking much more enjoyable when you feel like you actually have room to move around, and counter space to prepare food on... Our bathrooms are bigger which is nice and Morgans room is bigger with a decent size walk in closet... We also finally have a little storage unit on our balcony which helps out a lot... We are enjoying it there and Paul and morgan love going out on the balcony and playing in the cool weather! Other than that life is pretty normal... We are looking forward to the holidays!
So I just thought that I would let everyone know that Paul and I are expecting our second Child! I went to the doctor on the 24th and found out that my due date will be March 3rd... We had an ultrasound and the baby looks great... I love getting ultrasounds and seeing my little baby up there on the screen... We got to see the heart beat and it made me so happpy! I had a talk with the doctor about my concerns with having another ten pound baby and he made sure to put notes in his chart about no ten pound babies or postpartum hemmoraging.(sp?) He said his goal this time will be for me to have nothing larger than a 8.5 pounder; which I am totally happy with... He said he will make sure to moniter the growth of the baby closer this time which I will totally make sure of! I go to the doctor again in 3 weeks and then I will go get another ultrasound probably in about 5 weeks which we will then hopefully find out what we are having... So far the Pregnancy has been pretty good... I have been extremely tired lately but I will take that any day over feeling like I need to vomit... With Morgan thats how the first 3 months and it was terrible! Anyways we are super excited to have this new addition to our family!
Hey So I just wanted everyone to know that I am going to be toenail painting parties... For those of you who are wondering what a toenail painting party is well its just a fun excuse for a girls night... I come over to YOUR place and I bring all my nail stuff with you and while you and your girlfriends sit and visit I Paint your toes... Its a less expensive alternative to getting a pedicure also...I charge $10-14 depending on the design... I have a booklet I will bring full of pictures of designs I can do, but you are always welcome to get something different that you have in mind or change up the colors or design too... Below are a few examples of the designs I have that are fun for summer... Let me know if you are interseted in hosting a party and I will give you more details or answer any questions you may have... I almost forgot, If you have 6 or more guests come I will do you, the hostess, for FREE!
I can't believe that Morgan is 1... (well I guess she will officially be 1 on tuesday but we celebrated her birthday a couple days early) I decided that we were going to have a princess party for our little girl... Since she sure is the princess in our household...It was so fun picking out all the stuff and decorating the cakes... (although it was a lot of work) We had a good turn out of our friends and family who came to celebrate with us... I am so grateful for our friends and family! :) Morgan seemed to have a fun time... She conked out after her party and took a 3 hour nap and we had to wake her up so she wouldnt stay up all night... That is the longest she has ever naped. I wish she would take ones like that more often so I had a little more time to get stuff done...
The birthday girl with her Grandpa Heywood... He sure loves his little grand baby...
Morgan playing with her presents that she got... Thank you everyone who came and celebrated her birthday with us and for all the wonderful gifts... She loves them all!
These are my great friends that I have known forever and helped me out so much with the party! Thanks girls!Morgan is getting so big, I can't believe it! I thought it would be fun to make her a little tulle dress... I have seen them online and think they are so adorable and would be so easy to make... So today we took her to down town mesa and took some cute pics of her... Its a bit tricky since she is running all over the place and you can't get her to sit still or really even look at you but we had a fun time... I thought she looked so cute... Her hair is finally getting long enough to put in little pig tails and I decided to put a little make-up on her for this fun photoshoot! I LOVE having a little girl! Anyways sorry I had a hard time picking just a couple pictures since I thought all of them were just so darn cute but here were some of my favorites!
