new dresses

So I found another really good tutorial :http://www.rufflesandstuff.com/2010/04/lemonade-dress.html

I made 2 dresses using this as a guide. The first one is more like the one in the tutorial and is just a casual dress (VERY comfy!). The second one is a little dressier. LOVE them both.

Hiding a little mistake with buttons on both sides.

I also made a flower pin to pin the second dress because, as I am still a novice at this, it was a little big in the waist.

The pictures aren't the best. I have 2 options; self portrait, or ask Bre. I opted for self portrait this time but next time I think I'll have Bre do it :) I feel stupid smiling....oh well, you get the idea.

Recently....

I guess it's been awhile since I've posted, but lets be honest; our life isn't that exciting. So here's what's been happening since my last post. Kaity is spewing forth words like a fountain and is starting to piece them together. Example: Cameron and I were talking in our room and heard little footsteps coming. We quickly act like we're asleep. Kaity comes running in saying, "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy..." over and over again. Finally we hear, "Mommy, we-ah-oo (Mommy, where are you)?" Too cute. I couldn't play sleep any longer. Also, when she farts or burps she says, "scuse you", as in excuse YOU. She's a funny kid.

Breanne is becoming a real mommy around the house. She does her best to keep Kaity in check and out of her stuff which Kaity grabs up faster then food on the table (anyone who knows Kaity gets that joke). Neither Kaity nor I appreciate the "momminess" from Breanne, but I do know that she is trying to be helpful. She does help me dust and make dinner and even helped Kaity into her seat at dinner tonight. They're really starting to play and laugh together and that makes all the screaming and fighting worth it, I guess :)

Cameron has applied to a couple of different places in WA, but not a word since. There's a company called San Juan Airlines that he has applied to more recently that is out of Anacortes. To help him look more qualified and eager for the job we went to Palm Springs today (about an hour drive) to get his high powered endorsement (which means he can fly an aircraft with over 200HP). Hopefully when he calls the company tomorrow they'll be so impressed with his motivation they'll hire him on the spot. Don't worry, I'm not holding my breath. So until that time, we stay here in sunny Riverside, CA.

As for me, well, I manage all the chaos. That's about it. I have looked into being a part-time representative for a home care company. I would be able to work from home for the most part and it would bring in the last few dollars we're lacking every month, so I figured what the heck. We'll try it out and see how it works.
Here are a few pics I've taken in the last couple of weeks:

San Diego- Coronado

We got the opportunity to go down to San Diego for a couple days because Cameron and his mom had a big dinner to go to where Donna (his mom) was speaking. Cam was hoping to go and rub some elbows with the big wigs and try and get a corporate pilot job :) He did end up rubbing shoulders but no job offer, yet...
Anyway, we got to go play on the beach (my favorite) and stay in the amazing five starish Hotel.
"I found a rock!" Soon after this Daddy so kindly placed in back in the ocean so she wouldn't drop it on her toes.

The Hotel Del Coronado. Apparently, Marilyn Monroe made a movie here? I haven't seen it. VERY nice place.

Taking a walk with Grandma (Cameron's mom)

Grandma with the girls

"Get in the water" is what this looks like.

Just kidding apparently

She ate sand twice that I could count. Once was curiosity and the second, she was trying to get away from me and thought that burying her face in the sand would do the trick. Nope, just a mouth full of sand.

I think we need to get a sand box. Who knew that it would keep them so entertained?

View from our room. Swimming pool, Ocean, and then Mexico is the lights off in the distance.

I had to put this on here. I laid Kaity down in Bre's bed for an afternoon nap. I thought she would try and get up and be a real pest but in about 15 mins this is what she looked like. Awww, how cute? She's getting to big!
