Feeling Crafty

So this past weekend I was feeling very crafty. I wasn't able to go see my nephew so instead I made a couple things for him. First I just want to say that I absolutely love vinyl, their are so many things your able to do with it I love seeing what I can make next. So my first craft was a picture frame for Corver.. This is what I came up with.
Then I made this board with a saying on it for Corver also. Which I love.

Then, I decided I needed a valentines decoration so I put this on a glass block.. I think it turned out pretty cute.

Then I made this on a glass picture frame.

I love doing crafts, It helps me forget about being stressed. It's something I definately need to be doing more of. I love seeing what I can come up with!

Corver

I just got back from seeing my brother and their new baby. All I can say is he is so adorable! I can't get enough of him! Its amazing how much joy and love a baby can bring into the world. He's so innocent and precious I could just cuddle with him all day. Here are a few pics from today and from the hospital.

Halloween

This year for Halloween I wanted to take pictures of my niece Lydia in her costume. I have been wanting to take photography classes but have not had the time or money, So I'm practicing until I can take a class. Here is just a couple pics that I took of her. She would not sit still the little stinker. But I think they still turned out cute.

then I decided to dress up my animals. Addie was a bat

and Mischa was Pete the dragon

The night before halloween we carved pumpkins

That night we went over to my brother's house and just hung out and ate food.. yuuummmm. It was lots of fun!! yay for the Holidays coming! Hope everyone had a good Halloween!

I went to California For work and My Mom was able to come with me, We didn't have a ton of time to go out and do things cause I got off work late. But on Sunday I only had to work for a couple hours so we took advantage and drove around.
First stop: Santa Monica Pier and 3rd street Promenade. It was a Beautiful day at the beach so we walked around for a little bit, found something to eat.
This was the Pier

Me and My Mom at the Santa Monica Beach
The Beautiful Santa Monica

Second Stop: LA Temple, pretty temple, very different but still pretty. We were hoping to get in a session but I got off work too late that we weren't able to make it. So atleast we got to go take pictures.

Third Stop: Hollywood!! We drove around- my mom was my celebrity look out, we did see one celebrity coming out of a store on Sunset Boulevard but I have no clue who it was- pretty sure he was a basketball player. So we drove up to the Walk of fame and started our walk- had no clue how many stars there were! We probably didn't even see half of them and my feet were killing me!! So we went back to the car after going about three blocks on each side of the street. I also really wanted to see the Hollywood sign and when we got there I saw it but didn't take a picture because I wanted to get closer, well by the time we got back to the car it was dark and you couldn't see the sign!! I was so bummed.....

We stayed at the Ritz-Carlton, which is a very very nice hotel and we had a very pretty view! here's the view in the morning.

Here's the view at night.

and FINALLY before we left to the airport I drove back up to the Hollywood sign cause I just had to get a picture. It's very small in the background but it's there and that's all that matters!

It was a very fun trip, wish I had more time to do stuff with my Mom but I am so glad she was able to come and keep me company!

Nice Long Weekend

*Warning This is a long post*
This past weekend was alot of fun, it started On thursday we went to the Kenny Chesney concert for Trev's B-day gift (even though his birthday is in Aug) It was a good concert. I probably wouldn't go to a concert at Rio Tinto again, it was just extremely hot and we didn't like the set up as much as USANA. But Kenny was awesome! We love going to his concerts

Then on Friday we were getting ready to go to Idaho to go to Bear World with Trev's family and we were taking our dog up to my Mom's house so she could watch her for the weekend. Well right when we were getting to my Mom's house we were starting to slow down Mischa decided she wanted to get their faster so she jumped out the window. I freaked out of course. she came limping towards me so I thought she hurt her leg but trev rubbed it better and she was fine. She did get some road rash along her jaw from landing... Silly dog, sure gave me a scare. But hopefully she learned her lesson and she won't ever do that again!

So after that we headed to Idaho with Trev's family, Our first stop was to the zoo in Idaho Falls. Small but I loved it! Here are a few pictures from that.
The whole Crew at the start

Trev and I

The cute Tiger's sleeping- it was so hot

The cute donkey, kept wanting trev to keep petting him

If a Zebra didn't have stripes what color would it be?

Me, Alicia, and little Lydia

Then the next day we headed to Bear world, its really cool you can drive through yourself and see all the animals and you can also take a tour where you can throw food to the bears.

This is our first time going through in the van

The Elk- Yep that's a white Elk... No joke

Lydia looking for animals

Bad hair day Bear, he was just walking beside us as we drove by

Then we went to the Petting Zoo, They had baby goats and pigs and baby cubs and a baby deer.

Cubs.... soooo cute!

There is a taste of Bear World for ya, It was alot of fun. I will definately be going back.

Then on Monday I went with my cousins and Aunt to Lagoon, I haven't been to lagoon for about 6 years and they have season passes so I decided I would make them go with me one time :)

This is when we were waiting in line for Wicked, Awesome Roller coaster!

Getting Wet from Rattle Snake Rapids

Cole got soaked!

I had alot of fun at lagoon! Thanks for tagging along with me!

It was an awesome weekend, and Much needed time away from work. Hopefully it won't be too long for my next vacation!

Pehrson-Anderson Vegas Vacation

We went to vegas for my Birthday and Coby and Shantai came too, It was so much fun! Here is just a few pictures of our vacation. This is a picture of us on the plane- coby and tai in the backround.
It was about 97 Degrees the entire time we were there. Every morning we went to the pool every morning layed out for an hour or so then went and played Craps- we took a lesson and after would help you understand how to play.

Just Walking the strip

One night we went to the vegas shows, me and trev went to KA by Cirque De Soleil- AMAZING. I would recommend it to anyone that goes to vegas It was so cool. We all wanted to go to the same show which was O but they only had two seats available that we could get with the package and coby and Tai had already seen KA So they went to O while we went to KA, They said it was good. After seeing KA I want to see all of them cause it was so cool.

This is when we went to the Excalibur Show, we also stayed at Excalibur

M&M world, Coby's first time

The last night we were their we went to Margueritaville then we walked the strip and saw all the fountains and shows that were outside.

Then the flight home... we were so sad to leave. We had so much fun and will definately be going back when we can. We had alot of fun with Coby and Shantai, hopefully we will be able to go back soon!!
