Baggers I Love You

Do you know where Baggers is?

Well you should because we simply love it. It is more of a local spot and quiet. It is where you can let the kiddos play in the water without worrying about the huge waves. You could even get a tan without tan lines here, if you dare!

Miah's new schedule rocks. He is able to be home more often and spend family time with his favorite girls. 

Yesterday was wonderful. I have been pretty sick again the last three days and in some need for fresh air. We packed up and spent three hours here. 

It was just the three of us....

That is all we needed!

Well and some sun, sand and ocean!!

We are a bunch of beach "bums"!!

Getting ready to find some treasures.

These two are my world. I fall in love with them every time I see them. 

Especially at times like this. 

Now it is time to take in some sun and relax.

KitchenAid Bliss

I have a problem...

I am my mother's child....

That is not my problem.

My problem is I always look for something to create, craft and decorate. I never and when I say never, I mean NEVER sit still. My mother is the most talented, artistic, crafty and amazing person I know. I am not even close to her ability but I am glad I take after her. My lovely KitchenAid, Miah got me because we moved here and I left mine in Alaska and I burned the motor on the hand mixer. I needed a KitchenAid. He surprised me and what a lovely surprise it was. That is where my problem came knocking. It was plane white (sorry no before pictures). It was screaming for excitement. We had decorated our house with red, black and white. Plus a little Hawaiian Sass. I had red and black contact paper. I went to work drawing all the flowers, cutting them out and strategically placed each flower on. I loved it. 

What do you think? 

Ohhhh how fancy?

Definitely a Hawaiian KitchenAid!

We wanted to change our house decorations. As you have seen previously, we went with grey, teal and a sea green color. Therefore I had to change the KitchenAid.

Yep, mother's daughter syndrome came knocking once again. 

I peeled each flower off, cleaned it, sanded it down. Spray painted it grey, painted the stripes. My wonderful husband drew the stencil on contact paper, cut it out, placed it on the KitchenAid, then painted it and peeled it off. I love it. Who wouldn't? 

It is a lot simpler then the Hawaiian, which I like. 

Matches our house perfectly. 

Now it is your turn. Get out there, grab your KitchenAid, grab some paint and start going at it. The possibilities are endless. You don't even have to paint your KitchenAid, just paint something. I love to paint, it is almost therapeutic. 

Happy Monday!!!

Sisters!!

Can you guess who these three little cuties are? 

Pinky Angel- My Oldest Sister Danielle

Strawberry Blonde- My Middle Sister Averie

Chubby Baldy- Me

Wow, how time has changed. 

 But time change didn't bring me to this computer. Missing my sisters terribly has brought me here. 

My sisters are completely gorgeous! As you can tell, I was the tomboy and still am. 

They did have their fun dressing me up, refer to the picture below. They did the make-up, hair and dressed me. Although we did have matching Pink Nike Shoes, I got a touch of my style in there somewhere. 

What I would do to have a day, wait, a weekend with my sisters. I would love to have them come here and just hangout. We could go shopping, pedicures, beach time, eat and talk till 9pm (hey, that is late for me). 

I miss the spunky-ness of my oldest sister. You have to be on top of your game around her. I guess it is the red hair. I miss her laugh. I miss her sisterly love in person. She has a heart of gold and will drop anything for her sisters. She is a wonderful Mom too! 

Just look at her and her family now (minus the little guy Lawrence, was he sleeping?) 

I miss the fun-loving middle sister. This girl is always on the go. I love that about her. She believes in anybody and anything. Nothing is impossible, as long as you are alive. She is so hard working. She too is spunky, it must be in the Edwards blood. I miss her looks and how she can make me laugh no matter what. Our wonderful inside jokes. She too is such a great mom! 

I love this picture of her and her family....it shows how fun they are!!

The Three of Us!

I even look a little different. Thanks to my sisters for teaching me some style. 

My sisters mean the world to me. Even though I moved to a small Island far far away, doesn't mean I don't think of them when I lived right down the road. I think about them daily. Ya know, if they came here,  we wouldn't even have to  do anything, I would love to just sit in a car with them. As long as I would get to see them. 

People ask who you look up to. I look up to my sisters. They are amazing. They have been through so much and were so strong. They both have amazing families and are so happy. They protect me like big sisters should, even though I tower over both of them. I couldn't have asked for better sisters. 

I Love You D and Ave!!

I Miss You Girls So Much!!

Bat Wings Mommy!!!

I was on Pinterest and Bells came to sit on my lap, she saw these bat wings and told me she wants to fly like a bat too.

I made her dream come true....

She ran around in them the whole day and the next morning.

She is thinking where she could fly to next.

Then she was off.

She would often stop and admire her wings.

It is seriously the simple things in life that make her smile!!
