Water Baby

This past weekend my Mother-in-Law and her best friend came down to visit. We don't see them often, but we have such a great time when they do come visit!

Friday: 

We like to try and do special things with MIL when she does come because she doesn't get to see them as often as my parents do. This weekend? She got to put Mini Fox in the spa for the first time.

Then we decided, let's just let her get in, I bought her this super cute swim suit at Target, I wanted to show it off. The hat has no practical use other than being super cute.

She's been doing that weird thing with her lips lately

To say she loved it is an understatement. She could not stop giggling.

Saturday:

We headed down to the beach. It was the perfect weather.

This picture was taken off MIL's phone, I love it so much. The water looks perfect, and who doesn't wear a party dress to the beach? Mr. dressed Mini Fox and said that she picked out the dress...uh huh sure Mr. he just wanted to put her in a cute dress.

We went to lunch afterwards, Mini Fox was tired...open mouth sleeping and all.

Lunch was perfect, silly boys!

My and my boy, love going to the beach on perfect days like this. FYI: This picture is not edited at all (who has time for that?), the water is really that gorgeous!

Sunday:

We went to the park and Mini Fox discovered she loves this:

 
The park was the highlight, my parents came over to say hi to the in-laws and then MIL and her friend they were off, I took a 2 hour nap, cause someone *cough, Mini, Cough* thought it was okay to be up from 3am-6am. Although in her defense she was having some horrible gas pains, poor thing.

Mini is actively trying to kiss Baby Fox here

Our weekend ended with some yummy ribs for dinner. How was your weekend?

Good News!

Mr. got a new iPhone through work and passed me his old one last night at 12:15am! Yep we were up that late, not sure why since I had to get up at 5 this morning, dumb! But I am not part of the 21st century and have a smart phone. Although it's not set up yet, it will be in the next few days, woo hoo! Now I can get Instagram and Twitter, cause I know you guys want to see what I'm up to on a daily basis, lol, yea right! At the very least now I can do those things when entering raffles, I used to always have to skip them.

It's BACK!!!!! Lucky for me no one wants a 7 year old iPod that doesn't support apps (at all), and is very well loved. All that said, I'm super excited that it's back! I'm mostly excited because I didn't lose all of my songs, it's taken 7 years to get it there, I don't want to have to start over, especially since I lost the hard drive which had the songs for a good 2/3rds of them. Don't think just because I have an iPhone means this is going away. Can I tell you how clumsy I am on a treadmill, my iPod frequently takes a quick ride to the floor more then I would like to admit. I fear the iPhone would not yield the same good results. I hear iPhones can be high maintenance like that.

Three
My blog is going to go through a little face lift soon.  I had this girl do some artwork for me, and I'm working with Erin on layout, she's awesome, can't wait for you all to see the finished product! Actually I can't wait to see the finished product either :)

Hint: It has foxes (duh)

While writing this post, I just got word that I won a give-a-way from Alison at Get Your Pretty On!

This is how I feel:

Five
I sort of love my pacifier Hoarder.

but at least she's willing to share

My Mother-In-Law is flying in today for the weekend. She hasn't seen the kids since November, we're excited to show her all of Mini Fox's new baby tricks.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Rocking the Wet Look

We're on to week 3 of  The Spring Challenge. Still having fun, so thank you Alison for getting me out of my comfort zone and giving me easy outfits that I just have to grab in the morning and don't really have to think much about it.

In case you missed the other days, outfits 1 & 2 and outfits 3-9. Now onto this weeks outfits.

 Day 10

This was a Monday and the outfit called for jeans, but I felt like that was too casual for a Monday, so I switched out the jeans for blue colored pants. I know so close, but I felt fancier, just go with it.

In the picture my top seems crazy, but it's really just stripes, but guess the eyes do funny things, I wonder if that's what it's like when I'm actually wearing it to other people...hmmm.?? No one has complained yet, so I'll go with it.

Pants - Loft (old), Shirt - Old Navy (I saw it on the clearance rack last week), Sweater - Kohls, Shoes - DSW (no longer available), Bracelet - Forever 21 (old), Necklace - Loft (old)

I heart my leopard flats and I can't believe it took me this long to buy them! Now to find the perfect leopard scarf.

Day 11

I really liked this outfit, it was super comfy and just a great outfit all around. I actually wore this to take Baby Fox to the movies for the very first time.

Boyfriend Jeans - Old Navy, Bright Tank - Target, Button Down - Target, Scarf - Old Navy, Shoes - Toms (similar)

That necklace is from Brighton, and when you open it, it has a little gold heart in there and inscribed on the necklace it says, "You have a Heart of Gold", and Mr. found someone to engrave his name and Baby Fox's name on the gold heart, now we just need to get Mini Fox's name engraved on it. I love it so much.

Day 12

This outfit was so comfy, it felt like wearing my pj's all day. I love the bright sweater and the scarf too.

Skirt - Nordstroms, White Tee - Target, Sweater - Target, Scarf - Old Navy, Shoes - Toms (similar)

 

Day 13

There's that crazy looking shirt again, I swear it's just regular stripes. I had a striped tee, but it got a hole in it after it's first washing, so I returned it and didn't get a chance to wash it before this. I like how simple this outfit is, and the necklace just adds that little bit of pop to make it interesting.

Mr. picked out the shoes on our shopping trip, doesn't he have great taste? And they are so comfy!

Skinnys -  Loft, Shirt - Old Navy (on clearance rack), Shoes - Target , necklace - JCrew (Old), Bracelet - Francesca's Collection (Old)

Right after taking these pictures, I was helping Mr. put the pool cover on (it was supposed to be in the mid 90's this week, and guess what happened?

Yep, that's right I fell into the pool!

Baby Fox thought it was hilarious! I told our Nanny, so over the weekend I fell into the pool, she said, oh yea I know, Baby Fox told me "Mommy fell into the Pool!"

I fell in, and Mr. says, wait, I need to get the camera, so he's taking my picture of me getting out of the pool, laughing hysterically, and then says, hey you should do another outfit post!

Didn't you know that the wet look is really in right now?

Good thing we have a pretty private backyard, there was no way I was going into the house with wet jeans, talk about something that can hold a ton of water

Day 14

I have a confession, I actually wore the above outfit after this outfit, but since that was the outfit of the day, and since I didn't wear Day 14 outfit at all, I'll substitute. Now that I got that out of the way.

I went for a cousin spa day with 9 of my cousins, super fun! So I decided to take an outfit post in the lobby of the hotel.

Skirt - Target, Black Tee - Target, Jean Jacket - Old Navy, Sandals - Target, Necklace - Groopdealz (old), Bracelet - Forever 21 (old

Then I wanted to try and get some photos outside, but it was crazy windy and thought I didn't want to start another fashion trend, so I went with the ones above.

My sister and I tried to get some photos too. Scarf in the face, isn't that how everyone wears it now?

So this picture right here shows what a difference changing your white balance on your camera can do for you! I didn't photoshop this at all, I just changed the white balance and ISO, crazy right?

Day 15

I know this is getting so long right? It almost needs two posts, but then what fun would that be?

White Skinny Jeans - Loft, Striped Tee - Target (this is soft and only $6, go get it right now!),, Cropped Jean Jacket - Old Navy, Scarf - Old Navy (Old), Shoes - Toms (similar)

This is a really good go-to outfit, really comfy. I'm all about comfort these days.

Day 16

I would like to start off by says, it really bothers me that Mr. didn't tell me my necklace was crooked! Like how can you let me walk around like that Mr? Totally his fault, completely

Skirt - Nordstroms, Shirt - Target, Sweater - Kohls, Sandals - Target, Necklace and Bracelet- Francesca's Collection (Old)

How cute are these sandals with the skirt? 

And if you made it to the end of this post, congrats!

Good and Bad News

Which do you want to hear first? I always pick bad cause then it won't seem as bad when you hear the good.

So here's my BAD news.
I lost my iPod Touch. I left it on the treadmill when I went to my Boot Camp Class. I realized it right before going to bed, so I quickly called the gym and they said that things that are of value they put in the safe and she didn't have the key. So I'd have to call back today. I'm waiting for a respectable time to call. 6am seems too early. Of course because I'm a girl I couldn't sleep because I was just thinking about my poor iPod, all lonely and scared. Hoping the new fancy gym we signed up at, have people who don't need a 7 year old iPod. Yep that's right, I have a 1st generation iPod Touch. I use it everyday for 7+ hours a day...I'm going to be lost without it, not to mention all of my music I've collected over the years...and not in an iTunes kind of way.

This is how I feel, dramatic I know

I don't have a picture of me crying, I, however, do have a picture of Baby Fox crying, he was upset that it was bedtime and that he couldn't keep running up and down the hallway

Now on to the GOOD news. The timing couldn't have been more perfect. I still don't have a smart phone, I mention it here, here and here, not obsessed or anything. So about a a week ago, Mr. comes home and starts off a story, so don't get excited because this story does not end in your favor. He tells me that his company said he could upgrade his phone, blah blah, but in the end they said that the date was wrong and that he couldn't. Boo. So yesterday, he tells me, the Phone Lady called him and said that he was in fact eligible for a new phone and that he should go order it through the company website. He did, they sent a confirmation and then a few hours later sent him a shipping receipt. So it looks like I might have a new iPhone next week! Next week people! I can hardly contain myself. This works out perfect, if I did in fact lose my iPod, then I can just use my new iPhone! Get ready for some picture crazy posts! :)

This is how I feel, happy with ice cream all over my face. Oh to be a kid again.
