My Blythe

I know, 2 posts in one day! I was searching etsy tonight, looking at the clothes for Blythe. Lots of cute stuff!
Here's a picture of my Blythe doll. These are her original clothes. Her official name is Hello Harvest. I think you've seen her before, as I think I blogged about her getting new clothes.



I want this outfit. Or this one. Hey, isn't that my Blythe? Or maybe this one. Doesn't that one doll look like Edna from the Incredibles? I need to learn to sew clothes for Blythe. Imagine the outfits she could have! Aren't the shoes adorable? Especially the brown boots.
My dream is to go here sometime this summer. I have my eye on Natasha Moore!

I'm feeling blue

I got my toes done. They are blue. I usually go for some red color, but I was feeling blue, and the lady next to me, she was feeling green.


See the cute pink design on my big toe? I feel naked if I don't have some sort of design or flower. It's painted on, not a sticker. You like?

Mission San Luis Obispo

On Mother's Day, we made a trip to San Luis Obispo to visit the mission. Yes, we do have a CA mission right here, in our city, but we wanted to go to San Luis Obispo. Riley has this big project due Monday. Here are some pictures of our visit. We had a lot of fun.


Here's the mission.

Who's that scary, red creature?

Quinn, in an old chair.

Riley, checking out the mission bells.

Kevin, Riley and Quinn along the river in San Luis. The boys loved that they could walk around, on the rocks, in this river area. Maybe it's a boy thing. I went down there too, but the rocks didn't really do that much for me-except get caught in my shoes. Oh man, I'm such a girl.

My Reader

Riley loves to read. He reads in the car, before bed, at breakfast, on the couch, whenever he gets a chance. He loves to read.

Let's see what he's reading...

Star Wars-he has a whole set of these. I think he's read them more than once.

Sideways Stories from Wayside School by Louis Sachar. Another favorite.

Dragon Slayers' Academy

Judy Blume, Fudge-a-mania. I think that's another Star Wars under that Judy Blume book.

Tonight he started Prince Caspian of the Narnia chronicles.
Oh, and he's reading ALL of these books currently. Hmmmmm.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

I got to show off my baseball skills today. The moms and sons played a game of ball today. It was lots of fun! I was up 3 times, and hit 2 of those times (off the pitching machine, I might add). My second hit was much better, and I was able to score a run for my team, when another mom hit me in. We lost. I think the score was 13 to 6. At least we didn't humiliate ourselves! Oh and we all enjoyed the "gatorade" in the dugout during the game. Yummy. Who knew "gatorade" could be so tasty?

Here's an action shot of me up to bat.

Here I am in the outfield. I also played 3rd base, and pitcher (I didn't pitch, cuz there was a machine. I stood in the area of pitcher).

Here's a cute one of Riley and me. I think he was proud. Did you notice my shirt? All of us moms had them, and tiaras too.

Here's a huggy shot of me and my favorite boys.

Do you like my shoes?

Your Vegas

Kevin and I went to see Duran Duran last night. It was a very good show. There was an opening band called, Your Vegas, which we happened to watch, and they were really good. They just released their debut album on Tuesday. After their set, they sat outside the merchandise booth and signed stuff. Kevin bought their CD, which we both really love, and we waited in line to get the CD book signed. They signed that, and a little poster for Quinn, cuz didn't ya know? He's going to be a rockstar! To find out more about Your Vegas, visit here.

Here's Quinn with his new favorite poster, from his new favorite band.

Check out what they wrote to Quinn. He's very pleased. He'll be making his rockstar debut at his school's talent show in June.

Remember the 80's music scene?

Kevin and I got tickets (2 for the price of 1-plus all of the "convenience fees") to see these guys The show is tomorrow night.
Cool huh? Check out this site They have new stuff coming out, oh but they don't have Andy Taylor. I personally was a Nick Rhodes fan. Come on sing with me..."her name is Rio and she dances on the sand..."
