Csn Preferred Blogger!

I am so thrilled that CSN Stores contacted me again to do another review for them. I have had so much fun shopping through there 200 + stores. While browsing the website I was so surprised to see not only awesome wooden and metal headboards, but they even carry upholstered headboards! Of course shopping for my three year old and my baby to be, has been fun with their variety of baby furniture, toys, baby bedding, etc... I wouldn't have enough space to begin to post all of the amazing products they carry, so be sure to check Csn stores for any of your shopping needs!

Seafair!

My dad decided last minute that he wanted to go to Seafair this year! Being a former Marine he is a huge fan of the blue angels, I love watching them and Ava is obsessed wtih jets and airplanes too. I had some things I needed to finish up in Washington so it worked out good! I just wish the trip was longer so I could have seen more of my friends.


















































All Ava wanted to do at the park was bounce and slide

CSN Store Review!

I was so lucky to have the opportunity to review an item from csn stores. It's your one stop shop for all your needs! Because CSN stores has so many great things to choose from, it wasn't easy, but I ended up selecting the Guidecraft Lambs & Ivy Swan Lake Toy Chest. My daughter couldn't wait to get it! CSN stores shipped it super quick and it arrived in great shape---and without damage. The instructions were so easy to understand that my husband was able to put the toy box together in about 30 minutes. He even commented that the pieces were very sturdy and strong. The painting on the toy box is perfect! The toy box is hand-carved with scalloped edges and hand-painted. I especially love the safety hinges and cut-outs that prevent finger pinching! My daughter was thrilled with the toy box; she couldn't stop looking at it! I would highly recommend buying this product, as well as shopping at CSN stores, to everyone! I'm a very satisfied customer. Thank you CSN!!!

Ava Turns 3!!

I can't believe my little girl turned 3!! The time has flown by! I'm kinda sad about it! She is so independent now! talks so much! and says lots of funny things! She told Grandpa Pugmire the other day early in the morning that he stinks like cows on a farm (referring to his morning breath). She tells her dad that he is ridiculous all the time. She goes up to strangers and tells them her name is Ava and she is doing good and she is free (3) now! She copies and remembers anything anyone says! (especially naughty words). Not sure I am loving her being so independent, she wants to climb in the car herself, buckle her carseat all by herself (which takes forever!!) she wants to climb in and out of the bath herself, open and shut and lock all the doors herself, climb into bed, brush her hair and do it herself, dress herself, pick out her silverware, push any and all buttons herself, the list goes on and on!!! I'm trying to be as patient as I can.... Ava insisted for months before her birthday that she wanted a "heart themed" birthday party she is obsessed with hearts! anything with hearts she has to sleep with right next to her and take everwhere we go! So I tried to find as many heart things as I could at this time of year! I think it turned out great! It was fun seeing family and old friends as well.

Her heart cake she couldn't stop looking at!







heart cupcakes of course!

She's in heaven!

Grandpa and Grandma Pugmire spoiled Ava this year and she got her this slide and swingset from costco! She is obsessed with slides and swings and the park, so now we don't have to go far, she would live on this thing if she could!

We Moved!!

Some of you may know we have been contemplating moving back to Utah. I have wanted to since we pretty much moved up there since my family is down here and Tj's is as well now! We had gone back and fourth for a while but we finally decided it was the best decision for us, so we packed up some of our stuff around the 4th of July and moved to Utah. We are loving it! We have babysitters now, sun, some time for ourselves! It's been great! I do miss my friends in Washington and hopefully we will be back often to visit!

Fun Times!!

I haven't posted in forever! Mainly because I am sooo exhausted STILL!! I thought it would get better but I think it's cause I am running around with Ava all the time! But It's good for me! The weather just started to get nice today! I am hoping it stays for a long time! We have done a few things lately! For memorial day, our friends Ryan and Shelley invited us to go with them up to this cute cottage looking house. It's in Roslyn a small little town! There was a film a while back called northern exposure and it was filmed at this house! It's decorated so cute with lots of vintage! We drove by this treehouse and we had to stop and play! Ava loved it! It looked straight out of Dr. Seuss Book! Tj is determined to build one in our backyard some day! A couple weekends ago we went up to Tj's cousins property in Whidbey Island! Ava had a blast she caught her first fish but didn't want to touch it! We went and caught crabs after and she probably caught 40 or so, she had no fear when it came to them she just would grab them with her fingers and pretty much squeeze them into her bucket! She had a blast!
Ava changes her mind about the baby everyday, somedays she is excited and other days she says "No, I don't want a baby" She is still determined it a boy! Ava is turning 3 next month, I can't believe it! Time has flown by! So sad how fast she is growing up!
