When I saw that Lindsay had participated in Tuesday Outtakes I knew that I wanted to join in this month. How many pictures do we take that just don't make the cut, or too much time has passed to post them. Well this is your chance ladies! :) Linking up with MacKensey and Danielle for some blog outtakes.
This is what happens when Mr. does her hair. I've been trying to get them to let me capture it on video...but so far no luck. One day...one day I will capture these two and their hair antics.
Waiting for sister in ballet..what do you do, but take selfies of course.
I love wearing dark lipstick it's Spring, but then I thought, I want to wear it, and it's MNO, who cares I'm wearing it anyway. Totally okay to do that right? This is the Kylie Lip Kit in Vixen...cause I bought it and never wore it, we make our own rules.
My outfit that night, in case you wanted to see it. The necklace is from my gorgeous friend Jackie. She has her own shop, you should check her out.
These two make me so happy. They are trying to get a better view for the Bellagio show...the background looks fake, but it's real, I promise no green screen.
Back when we went to Park City Mr. found a map in his pocket...from 2012. It was a little tore up, but it got the job done until we could find a whole one.
When you're on a business trip and you need dental floss...you use what you packed for the kids from the previous trip.
I was super loving my make up this day, was sad that I had to take it off, so I took a picture first. haha. Even though you can't really see my eye make up, I thought it look good. Ever have those days when you just don't want to take off your make up because you know it won't ever look like that again, haha.
Happy Monday Foxy Friends! I hope everyone had a good weekend. After being a week away from the family, I was happy to get home and spend some time with them. If you're coming from The Blended Blog, welcome! Today's Spring Time Fun theme is: April Showers Brings May Flowers. Boy do we have a ton of flowers right now. With how much rain we got this year, we have flowers everywhere, and they are so pretty. Probably won't last too long, but I'm going to enjoy it while they do last. One thing that try to do each year is visit the Carlsbad Flower Fields. I know every Southern California blogger has probably hit this up, but what can I say, it's a great photo op.
This year we went with some friends and I told them I would take pictures of their kids. We got some great kid pictures with them, but not without a lot of fruit snacks...take two more photos and we'll give you some fruit snacks...bribery is everything in these types of situations. It's amazing how well it really works. Could you imagine your boss telling you, well if you write that report for me, I'll give you a milk shake...haha.
This is sort of at the beginning of the fields. You can't even imagine how big this place it...it's mind blowing.
If you ever have a chance to go to the Flower Fields you definitely should. It's so pretty, I wish we could have stayed a little longer, but our bribe also included going to LEGOLAND for the day, haha.
Now hop on over to Andrea to see what sort of Spring Time Fun she's doing.
Vegas...it is actually family friendly. They have some great things for kids to do. If you are there you HAVE to hit up Container Park. It's super family friendly, there is only one way in and out, and it has a huge jungle gym for the kids and so many places to eat. It also has a stage for live music, I guess it kicks all the kiddies out at 10 and becomes and adult only place, which is pretty cool. Plus the flame throwing Praying Mantis is pretty awesome too.
A few pictures from Vegas, we had a blast, this was dinner at the Container Park and they had the best Brisket Sandwich, yum!
My brother is the best Uncle and he loves the kids so much. I love seeing them together.
We went to a parot show, and for $5 you could go backstage and pet and take pictures with the birds, it was super awesome, worth it all day long!
Then we hit up the butterfly garden, the kids loved it. I'm thinking of getting a butterfly farm thing for our house...anyone have any suggestions?
I wanted to take the kids to see the Bellagio fountains, and we made it just in time and got a great view.
I just love this picture with Mini Fox and my brother.
In other happy news I won a giveaway from Elizabeth and Amy! This time a $50 gift card to Erin Condren...I am so stinkin' excited! I've wanted to try one out, but never did...because price. But with $50 off, makes it more in my price range :) Can't wait for next year to order one! Wait...hold the phone...I just went to her site to check some stuff out and they sell the cutest pj's for a super reasonable price too! Thank you ladies for making my week!
Joining The Blended Blog's Friday Loves where we share fellow bloggers content that we loved for the week.
First up is Andrea from Living on Cloud Nine, she wrote an awesome post on embracing our weaknesses and finding strengths instead.
Stephanie from Wife Mommy Me is hosing a fitbit challenge and the winner will receive a $25 gift card. If that's not motivation to walk more and get healthy I don't know what is. I would totally do this if I owned a fitbit...but I don't, but if you do, go sign up, you're already wearing it might as well be in the running for a gift card. Check out the details here.
I just love Chip and Joanna Gaines, they are the cutest couple. While watching tv at my hotel, I caught the cutest episode ever...then after trying to find it to share here I found out the wife passed away, but I am so glad that she got to see the house in person and enjoy it for a little bit before passing.
Let's keep going with this theme...some more make you feel good home make overs. Mila Kunis did a full home reno on her parents condo and it might be the cutest thing ever. She was super pregnant too, and man can I just say, I wish I looked that good 9 months pregnant?
And then I guess this could make you feel good? Give you some endorphins? Anyway, this popped up in my YouTube feed and right off the bat I wanted to try it. Although the picture that is here, isn't even the people that are in the video. I did this last night in my hotel room and I am fairly certain that I looked like a drowning rat, I know what I was doing was not nearly as cute as what they were doing. I do know as I'm writing this I'm a little sore, although that could be the 7 miles I've run over the past 3 days.... in any case, it was a fun workout and will be adding it in the mix.
What are your plans for the weekend? We are going to see a local high school performance of Beauty and the Beast.
It's our last day of Spring Fever, but don't worry, I'll let you know what the theme for May at the bottom of this post. Plus I am finally remembering to do What's Up Wednesday post with Shay, Mel and Sheaffer.

What I'm wearing:
Today is another shirt that has the same pattern as this dress...just like last week, except this time we're doing a blue and flower theme. This shirt is no longer available but they do have the same style in several other patterns.
Okay I admit a took a lot of pictures of this hair style. I have to admit that this is my first real style that I made up all on my own. I initially was trying to copy a YouTube video, which I can't remember which one, and I couldn't do it, so it sort of morphed into this style.
I made three low ponytails, and braided and pancaked them. Then I took the middle braid and maid a low bun with it. Then wrapped the right side braid up around and around the bottom of the braid. Then did the same with the left side braid. This is the look that I was left with.
What we're eating this week: I'm eating out a lot this week as I am traveling for work. Currently as I write this post I am eating microwave popcorn. I couldn't believe that they had a microwave in my hotel room. I've stayed here several times and I've never had one before. Definitely taking advantage of that.
What I'm reminiscing about: Meeting up with my Blended Blog friends in Vegas last year, as I went to Vegas this past weekend and was remembering all of the things we did as I passed by it with my family.
What I'm loving:
All things floral. Based off of all of the repeat patterns I've been buying lately.
What we've been up to: Visiting my brother and sister-in-law in Vegas.
What I'm dreading: Being away from my family for 3 more days...boo!
What I'm working on: Trying to learn how to use Heat Transfer Vinyl and make myself a "On Wednesday's We Wear Pink", and then I also have to work on Baby Fox's Minions birthday invitations.
What I'm excited about:
Besides the obvious of coming home, I'm excited to go to an Escape Room for Mom's Night Out. I just hope my claustrophobia doesn't go through the roof...feeling traps already...I'm choking...I can't breathe...AAAAHHHH!!!!!
What I'm watching/reading
What I'm listening to:
I know I'm totally obsessed with them, but I can't help it. They've been releasing a lot of covers lately. And I sort of love that Kirstin went back to brown.
And loving everything this guy sings, he's so talented. Seriously there are so many crazy talented people on YouTube, love that people have a different avenue to get their music and voice out there.
What I'm doing this weekend:
We have soccer and baseball. We have to split up this week, boo. We've been able to swing almost all of the games until this weekend. Mini Fox's game is 30 minutes away from us...boo! Since when did we get on a travel team? Then Saturday night we are going to a local high schools Beauty and the Beast. Mini Fox is so excited that we're allowing her to wear her Belle Costume out in public.
What I'm looking forward to next month:
I know you're going to hear this like a million times, but since this is really next month I can scream it from the rooftops, going to see The Blended Blog Ladies in Toronto! Expect a ton of pictures and lots of stories. We'll definitely miss those that can't go, but am looking forward to hugging everyone in person instead of virtually.
What Else Is New:
Not much, my life is an open book and you know everything in it.
Bonus Question - What is your favorite summer shoe/sandal :
I just bought these heels and they are so very comfortable and I debated long and hard whether or not to buy the black ones as well.
Thank you for continuing to link up with us and making this link up a success! But first, since Spring Fever is ending, you know we had to come up with another theme. The theme for May is going to be Fashion Files! What this means...find a picture of an outfit, find a picture for inspiration, find something and build an outfit around it! That's it...now go to your Pinterest account and actually recreate something! Excited to see what outfits are in your Fashion Files.
P.S. Don't you want that sweater?
Now link up your fashion posts below and share some of your Spring favorites!
