Take me out to the ball game

I'm back! Wahoooo!
So I was gone all day Sunday and came home to wonderful news...my computer had a virus. The husband was reading something on Drudge report and next the we knew, the computer was basically fried. We had to get a new hard drive and the whole nine yards. Would have been nice to have bought a new computer (and a laptop at that so I could actually get out from under this room that I'm always grounded to) but I had way too much data and programs on here that it just didn't make sense. Not at this time anyway.
Bad timing right when we are the busiest. We are at a 4 week turnaround, on top of trying to get all Christmas samples ready for our photoshoot this Friday...and the computer crashing was just NOT GOOD! See, I can't use my embroidery machine witout the computer. And I can't get onto Etsy efficiently. And I can't print labels from paypal. So everything came to a grinding hault, minus making bows.
But the computer was ready for pickup today and I am back in the saddle again!!
I feel like I just got both my arms back!
It's greatness.
So, let me catch you up to speed on our life (besides the crazy part).
Oh wait. It's all crazy!
Crazy with fun sprinkled in for sure!!
Friday Aaron came home from work at 9:45 with a numb mouth and completely groggy and out of it! He told me through some mumbles that he had 2 wisdom teeth removed.
Wha??? I had no idea he was even going to the dentist! He just called them and told them he had a $10 coupon for a "toothache" exam and they claimed he needed his wisdom teeth out immediately.
So that was all cool, excpet we had plans to go to the Ranger game that night. Ava's first. And they were having a fireworks show! Her favorite!!
He told me to go on without him and take a friend. So, we did. We had a great time, but were sad he couldn't join us. Baseball isn't the same if you don't really know what's going on and the one dude that does can't come with to explain the plays. Ha!
We got to the game and it was PACKED!!!
So weird for the Rangers. They usually stink and it's dead there. Not this night!
We stood in line for some of these yummy bites of heaven for 30 minutes or so...

Those are garlic fries! They were so tasty. But oh my goodness!! The price I paid the entire night after was not worth it. You can just imagine...

Ava was trying so hard to run away from me. Look at that onery face!! She was ready to watch some baseball!


Look at the awe in her eyes! She was amazed at the crowd. Haha!


Mommy and her girl, cheering on the Rangers.

And let me add that we got half way to the ballpark and I noticed somebody ripped out her bow. I was so mad!! It was all matchy matchy cute and ughhh that child!

Ava (who NEVER looks at the darn camera) and me with Mindy. Mindy came along for the fun and I am so glad she did! We had a blast with Mindy. She is always so fun!


Extreme closeup...


We had great seats at center field (insert sarcasm) but they were right next to the kids alley so that was great for Ava's sake.
Sitting in the cheapo seats means you are guaranteed to see some excitement right in your own section. No need to even watch the venue!
I mean check out the most impressive mowhawk we got to look at all night...

and would you catch a load of that view...

...at least it was a crack free section and all.

Last, was this other chick. God bless her heart. She had tampons sticking out of her pocket and it just grossed me out. Can you spot them? I mean they aren't very discreet at all.

But she would yell and get realy fiesty when nothing was happening.
Check out this picture for proof...

Clearly there wasn't a lot going on. Just look at the bored guy above her. She must've seen something we all didn't.
I tell ya, it was very entertaining.

Ava booing when the other team got a run. Love how she cupped her mouth!!


As mentioned earlier, we really were going to see the firework show. And it was so worth the 11:30 bedtime!!
This girl can't get enough fireworks. Ever! She loves them more than anything!!


I love how she is sitting here.


It's so fun to experience all of these firsts with her! Now let's just hope these Rangers make our visit even that much more memorable by winning the World Series!!

Let's go rangers! CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP!

Baby's First Thanksgiving

Do you have or know a baby celebrating their first Thanksgiving?
Please tell them about our bibs! They are double lined and super thick knit.
And besides, they are just too cute to pass up.

Available on our website at www.sheshemade.com just as soon as I can pass the photos on to my webmaster:)

Model MONDAY!

Ummm how cute is that little cowgirl?!?!?!
I just love this cutie on a tractor picture!!

Where we lay our heads

Kelly's Korner is hosting "Show us where you live" and today features master bedrooms. I thought I would play along this week since our bedroom is one of my favorite rooms in our little house.

So, come on in to our bedroom!
This is from the door, looking into our room.

I just changed out the bedspread yesterday too, thus another reason why I wanted to play along this week!
Believe it or not, this bedspread set came from my mom. She wanted me to sell it and I decided I'd keep it. I'm not too crazy about it, but I do like the change and it was "FREE.99" as I like to call it.
I doubt it can stay white/cream color for long with Ava's sippy cups and yogurt fingers!
Here is a closer pic of the bed and Aaron's side.

This is the picture that you see above our headboard. It was Ava at 11 months. I just love this picture!!

Another picture of Aaron's side and a view into our bathroom.

That glider was from when Ava was born and Aaron got to pick it out. It's leather and the color of our house for the most part. It went in our living room since it DID NOT match her room at all. Then, as toys started taking over, we moved the glider in here. Sometimes Aaron likes to escape back here and watch Survivor or The Apprentice in that chair.

Here is our dresser/mirror and hutch. On the left is our engagement picture and our wedding guests signed it. It's a keeper for sure.

On the dresser are pictures in glass/jeweled frames. I love those frames a ton and try to buy any I see that I just HAVE to HAVE when they are 50% off at Hobby Lobby.
This is our filing cabinet on that back wall as well (for lack of space in my house it goes here and it matches our furniture okay). I have some special keepsakes on this cabinet.

The candle is a memory candle and it burned on our wedding day as a tangent object to signify my dad's "presence" although he was absent. It reads, "In Loving Memory. This light shines as a symbol of a life and love remembered. Bob McCaslin"
He died when I was 15 and it was so hard for me to imagine him not walking me down the aisle. This candle meant so much, although it is just a candle. I hope to always have that candle. It had a fancy ribbon tied in the middle.
Guess who took that off and misplaced it?? The other is a photo album of Ava's birth. It doesn't match my room at all. It matches hers and I hope to one day put it in her room when I know she won't destroy it to shreds.
This is my side of bed. WE ARE ADDICTED to the humidifier's white noise. Can't sleep without it. And yes, it's an eyesore in that room. But I don't really care.

The picture up is of me in my wedding dress. I've heard that once you have children you should take all your wedding pictures down and replace them with family and chilren pics. But we plan to move soon anyway, and we only got married 4 years ago so we still have time in my eyes.
And I like to break the rules. If there really is such a rule. Has anyone else heard that before??
Thanks for taking a peak into our room! It was fun to share.

Parks

Ava is such an unfortunate child.
She never gets to have any fun at all!
Poor girl went to two parks last week. An outdoor park and an indoor park. All within 24 hours in fact.
On Wednesday, after music class (poor girl, again) I took her to Tillery Park and it was a pretty cool place! Minus the fact that it wasn't cool in temperature at all.

She had such a fun time climbing the ropes and such. She would look at me and say "Wook Mommy. I doooooooo it all by myself!"

I made her nice and dizzy on this piece of equipment I cannot think of what it is called at the moment. Merry go round??

We also did a little swinging before we melted.

(I love those cheeks of hers!)

On Thursday we went to an indoor park, The Safari Park, with Angie and Hayden.

Angie and I rode the train that went around in a very SMALL circle, and got rather "train sick". The lady that was running the train ride was asking about animals and what sounds they made. She was naming all the safari animals, respectively. Then, she was all "What sound does a puppy dog make?" Ummmm, I could be very wrong, but last I checked a puppy dog didn't live in the safari. Maybe she is more informed than I...
We hopped off the tiny train and went to ride the mechanical elephant and mechanical zebra.


Let me rephrase that. Ava and Hayden rode the mechanical safari animals! Haha! They were cute, and I little creepy at the same time!
Hayden wasn't as big of a fan as Ava.
They also had a little playground area with a slide and germy little ball pit like back in the days at Chuck E Cheeses!

As soon as they got in there Ava's nose started to run. Coincidence? Not sure! Haha.
They did a little jumping on this fun little trampoline. I love it!

Don't you like how serious they look? Lighten up, kids!
There was also a mini putt putt golf area in this place, along with a ton of train tables and doll houses filled with...you guessed it! Trains and dolls!
It was pretty cool. Minus the creepy mechanical animals. Haha!
We met my mom for lunch afterwards at California Pizza Kitchen. I LOVE that place!!
My unfortunate child playing with her puzzle I bought her at the Safari Park. There was also a toy store inside! Lots of great educational toys.

And although I HATE this picture of me, I have to share. This is what Ava does when she wants something to go her way. She comes up and wraps her arm around our neck, and then asks in the most CHARMING fashion you have EVER HEARD!

It kills me every time! She knows how to charm. JUST LIKE HER FATHER!!!!

Model MONDAY!

I HEART cherries!! And I was so excited to do this custom order for a customer's daughter's cherry themed birthday party.
Here is little Blakely, wearing her cherries dress for her first birthday party!

Check out that incredible cherry food/dessert table! I think Blakely liked it too:)

And a closeup of the little cutie wearing her dress so well!


If you have pictures to share of your child wearing SheShe Made, please email them to me at sheshebows@yahoo.com OR you can upload them to our Facebook wall. Just search "SheShe Made" on Facebook!
Happy Monday!!

My little bookworm

A while back I purchase a flip video because I got a really great deal on it. Altough there were some issues when it came to me partially broken, I managed to fix it myself and this week I recorded the first video with it. I was excited because Ava had no idea I was recording her. Had she known, she would have been defiant and not shown her true little cute Ava self! Check it out... And sorry about my Valium-induced voice. Well, actually I hadn't taken any Valium. Just sounds that way...
