A Brithday and A Celebrity Sighting

For the long Labor Day Weekend Scot and I were able to fly back to California (my most favoritist place in the world) for my dad's birthday. We had a great time hanging out with the fam! Although our trip did start out sort of rough having to keep our big old carry on suitcases at our feet on the plane and having to empty fuel from our plane in order to make weight it all ended up working out and went smoothly from there on out (Side Note: I do NOT like to fly, it scares me and it especially scares me when they want to empty an essential element such as fuel from the plane. HELLO!)

Anyway, while we were there I was able to work on a project with the help of my mom.
She made a cute little roll up similar to this for all of her knitting needles and crochet hooks so I decided that I needed one too! My mom is a great seamstress and was able to tell me what to do from memory! Here is how it turned out...So neat and organized!!

On Saturday we celebrated my dad's birthday by having a picnic in the Elk Grove Park with friends and family. It was a really fun afternoon. It wasn't too hot either which was really nice.

On Monday we flew back home :(. Sadness. When we got to L.A. for our 2 1/2 hour layover we started walking down the terminal to find something to eat. We stopped so Scot could use the facilities and when he came back out I said to him "let's just go back to California Pizza Kitchen over by where our gate is." Scot was like "Ya, that sounds good." So we walked back over and ordered our food. After ordering I walked over and filled up our cup and started scanning the restaurant for a place to sit and that's when I saw him. NOW, I know you all are going to be like YA RIGHT. You are way too obsessed! But this is true. OK back to my story, so I'm scanning and I see him. I of course did a double take and he looked up and I am pretty sure he saw the recognition in my face but I decided to be dignified and not say anything to him even though I wanted to run over and ask him for a picture. People were leaving him alone and I didn't want to cause him any problems. Well of course there happened to be seats right next to him so we sat there and now I am able to say that I ate lunch next to Emmett Cullen (Kellan Lutz) from Twilight. Booo ya!

For those of you who don't know who in the heck I'm talking about here he is:
I should have been more brave and gotten a picture I know, I know but I'm sure they get sick of the craziness so I thought it better not to embarass myself. Know what I mean?

Even though it was a super quick trip we were glad we were able to go. It's always nice to get away and spend some time with the fam. Love you guys!

Here are the happs...

{That's short for the happenings...}

So I can't believe how long it's been since we've posted anything! That's probably because we have been super BORING this summer! Oh well, what can you do? Anyway earlier last month we went on a bike ride...BAD idea. It was probably one of the hardest things I've ever done...OK maybe not but pretty dang close. I couldn't even walk the next day. We rode from a little town called Silverthorne up to another ski town called Breckenridge. We figure from the car to Breckenridge was around 10 - 12 miles UPHILL the entire way. When we got to the last hill I literally stopped my bike got off and started to cry. Scot was being very supportive and telling me I could do it. I told him to go on without me and that I would just live there next to little stream forever. After eating a cliff bar though and a few swigs of water I was rejuvinated enough and we DID IT! Woo hoo. Here is a before picture when we still thought we were going to have a fun day. Sexy, I know.

Anyway other than that not much else...I have been working on a few projects some of them are gifts though so no posty...
Seriously, this project was seirously sent straight from heaven. I have been looking for a place to keep all of my jewelry where I could see it all and not have it get all tangled up and low and behold I found the perfect solution. All you need is a frame, chicken wire and your husbands big old staple gun! Oh ya!

I've seen it done with really gorgeous, ornate frames but seriously where do those people find stuff like that? I don't know, so I just went with Michael's frames. Works great and I had a stinkin' coupon. HECK YA!

Here is another somethin' somethin' I FINALLY finished. I started this project way back when and finally decided it was time to finish it. I was a little off on my measurements but it will do the job.

Anyway that's about all from us for now. We hope everyone is doing well!!
