sneak peek

We had a little Photoshoot today for my new line of headbands. Not everyone was super cooperative but I think we got a few keepers. Let's hope everyone has this reaction when they see all the new JRae bows coming their way!!



And stay tuned for a giveaway coming up this week!

fnished!

ALL done! My sister in law sam was having a bad day the other day when it rained on the day of her wedding photoshoot so I made her a cream pillow to cheer her up...I am nice like that! ha ha and Tina asked me nicely so I made her this floral version....which one do you like better??
be HONEST!!

I am not a decorator. Not even a little bit, those who have seen my house can attest to that. There are pretty much no decorations and it is well...pretty bland. But I have about the cutest sister/sister inlaws around and they are all REALLY good at decorating and being super cute. Seriously their houses are all way too adorable and could be in magazines. Needless to say I am a little jealous. Then one day Pam says that she bought a blanket that was too small for her ginormous king size bed but was way too adorable to take back. and being the nice person that i am I just took if off her hands for her! and i LOVE it I was so excited I went out and bought fabric to make pillows to match and put it on my bed ASAP!! are you dying of suspense now?? i know you must be so here ya go!!



This is my sad sad bed before it got a nice little makeover. I mean i love a plain white bed with white pillows and everything, but ours is sloppy, and we have had it for 5 years....time for a change i think!!


AAAAAHHHHH isn't is GORGEOUS?!?!? I am in love...seriously!! the ony down side is the red curtains i made recently don't match, better run down to Joannes and get me some new curtain fabric!


I have been wanting to make these ruffle pillows for a while and i LOVE the way they turned out. and can i just say how much i love my new rolled edge presser foot??!!! it is awesome, if you are going to do ruffles EVER then go buy one it is totally worth it!! HERE is the tutorial I used for these cute ruffly pillows.

And then this pillow was another one I was DYING to try, and LOVE how it turned out!! HERE is the tutorial i used for this adorable pillow. I may have made a floral one too but couldn't finish it cause i ran out of stuffing...as did walmart. So hopefully i can finish it and it will be just as cute!

And just some random cuteness from our house.....

Ashley was having some tummy time (which she normally hates) and fell asleep in the middle of the floor. She slept for a couple of hours while chloe was napping as well, and held onto this rattle the ENTIRE time...it was so cute!


Ash in the Jolly Jumper for the first time, she was loving it for the most part. the part she wasn't loving was her big sister spinning her around and banging her into the door and smashing her fingers. gotta love big sisters!....right tina??



Chloe HAD to sit in the bumbo chair on the counter cause that is where ashley gets to hang out when I am sewing or cooking.

Tina and I were unsuccessfully trying to do my new yoga video the other day and chloe was getting in on the action! ha ha niiiice form tho tina!!


CHloe's favorite passtime, pump out gallons of baby lotion and make a huge mess. at least i caught her this time before she tried to help out and lotion up ashley!

This is.

This is our classic self timer, hurry and snap a picture before church, cause we all actually look half decent, and are for once in our life ready on time, newest family picture!


THis is my almost 2 year old and almost 4 month old in their sunday best looking just as sweet as can be. sidenote, the dress ashley is wearing chloe wore until she was like 6 months i swear, this is probably the last time ash can wear it....i was shocked and saddened.



This is my baby's cute little toes and chubby little legs, cause i love them, and kiss and pinch them constatnly.

This is my favorite baby face sucking like crazy on her fingers.


This is my favorite sister holding my favorite baby. love them both.


This is my favorite toddler in my favorite fuzzy pajamas, doing her favorite thing...playing outside!


This is said favorite toddler throwing a fit on the sidewalk when tina and al drove away after taking her for the day. coooome baaaaack!!! or just take her again, she loved it, and i didn't mind it either!


This is my favorite girls in matching jammers. their grandma has good taste! (and look at that sweet face in the second picture...wish she was always like that!)

This was after i snapped the above pictures i layed ashley on the chair and chloe climbed up beside her to chillax and give her multiple fishy kisses.


This is chloe having a night cap on the best chair in the house. I seriously need one my size!


This was just too adorable chloe was singing and talking to ash and giving her pushes in the swing. I love it when she is so sweet with her! and i love what happened shortly after these pictures.....bedtime :)

So summer is coming to an end. sad. I mean not like I have to go back to work or anything, which is awesome. But none the less school is starting which means regan works all the time and never comes home early and is super busy. This is no fun for us. Oh well I am just happy it is still so nice outside! Its just too bad we have no one to play with.

well as usual i have a TON of pictures from the last couple of weeks so here ya go!


chloe hasn't gone to a whole block of church in a LONG time. 1:00 is the worst time to go for toddlers..seriously it is awful! but regan went to san fran the other week so i came out and went to church with my parents. They ALSO have 1:00 church, but for some reason she was super happy the entire time and even went to nursery all by herself! woohoo!! but afterwords she was a LITTLE tired, and didn't make it through dinner! ha ha

Here we are hanging out in grandmas new pool, complete with whale slide!



We were super lucky this year and my parents were able to rent a cabin at Echo Lake. I personally have never been there, but it was a BLAST!! I loved it and I am pretty sure everyone else had a pretty good time too!


Derick, and Landon both caught a turtle and wrote their names on it with nail polish. hopefully they can catch the same one next year.

My mom took this picture of lanny and sam canoeing with her little point and shoot...looks pretty awesome eh?


Probably my favorite picture from the trip, boston telling chloe all about his adventures on the lake!


Cute cousins tubing.

We had so much fun, yes ashley was there even tho she was in NO pictures! ha ha i was a brat and didn't even take my camera out of the car! good thing we took lots with my mom's! Echo lake was the BEST and we are so excited to do it again next year!!
