OK, for REAL!

I have GOT to get rid of this lagging baby fat! I have about 10 lbs to lose, to get back to "pre pregnancy" weight. I really just need to cut out my sugar intake, and do some cardio. I HAVE to work out. And the only time I can do it without getting a babysitter, is at 6:00am. Anyone want to join me at the Rec Center for a work out?!?!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Yesterday was my 24th birthday! I spent most of the day helping with my friends baby shower. I was in charge of the food and the cake, (Which turned out GREAT, thanks to my SIL Amy) I think the shower was a success. After the shower, I headed home, picked up the twins, and went and picked up Aaron from work. Then my mom came over and watched the girls so Aaron and I could go out. I had eaten so much at the shower, that we decided to skip out on going to a nice dinner. We went and looked at some stuff at the District, then headed over to the Miracle Mile shops at the Planet Hollywood (used to be the Aladdin) I couldnt find ANYTHING at the Gap. NOTHING was fitting right. Then we went to STASH clothing, because I want a pair of Seven jeans, with the A pocket ... but again, I didnt like the way the jeans fit. Thats ok, I didnt really want to spend $200 on a pair of jeans anyway! After that we walked over to the Bellagio, and had dessert at Jean Phillippe's. (Thats the place that has the huge chocolate fountain) I got a lemon sure CREPE. And it was DELISH! Seriously, that crepe made my day.
Funny story, there were these 2 ladies in front of us in line, who were speaking some other language to each other, then when they got up to order, they asked for their Espresso's and then the one lady said "Can I also have a CREEPY?" the cashier goes "A WHAT?" foreign lady says "A Creepy!" cashier: "OHHH! You mean a CREPE?" foreign lady : "Yea, thats what I mean." Aaron and I had a good chuckle... I guess you had to be there. :S We were going to see Oceans 13, but by the time we got back to GVR it was too late, and we both were SO TIRED.

We decided to stay home from church today. Last sunday, Carlie was really good during sacrament, but Claire was such a little stinker. Our church is at 11, and that happens to be the time the twins take a nap... its just hard!

My cousin Melissa is in town with her little boy this week! I think she is going to stop by later this afternoon so we can hang out a little! Im SO excited! Melissa is like one of my bestfriends. It just stinks that she had to move to Arizona! Back when she lived here, Aaron and I would hand out with her and her husband Adam ALMOST 5 days a week! Fun times!

Our house is ALMOST done. Im talking, we should be moved in towards the end of next month! The house just needs flooring, countertops, blinds, appliances, and a few mechanical things! We are SO STINKIN excited to be in the new house!

I just LOVE my girls!

Claire and Carlie have just been too cute lately! I mean, they are always cute, but I happend to capture their cuteness on camera.

Claire ACTUALLY let Carlie sit on this toy with her! I didnt put her there! They sat like that for a good 10 minutes. (Claire is in front, Carlie is in back) Carlie even put her arms around Claire and gave her a kiss. :)





Sunday night Claire started to not feel so well. All she really wanted to do was lay on the couch. Carlie noticed Claire not playing, and came over and climbed up on the couch, and started rubbing Claires back. It was just too cute.







Then Carlie started to not feel well. The only thing that I could get them to eat/drink were popsicles. They loved them! (Carlie is in the purple, and Claire is in the pink)

Silence is NEVER a good thing!

I have learned in the last 2 days, that if Claire and Carlie are playing REALLY quietly, they are doing something they shouldnt be doing!!

Yesterday, Aaron found the girls playing on the chair that is at the desk in their closet. So, he moved the chair from their room, and put their clothes hamper in its place. Today, I found Claire screaming from her room, and found she was stuck in the hamper. So I moved it to underneath the desk. Then I go back to the room a few minutes later to find BOTH girls hanging out in their hamper.





I now have to move the hamper far far away from the desk. This would be Claire STANDING on the desk.


I just about had a heart attack when I saw this, but I DID hurry and grab the camera. Then I closed the door to their room. Now they can only play in the family room until I take down the desk!!!

What products work best?

Ever since I started working in the Salon industry (almost 7 years ago!) I have been a hair product JUNKIE! I am always trying new products and always getting asked what I use in my hair, and what works best! And since I cant think of anything else to Blog about, you get to know what I use, and what hair products I LOVE!

I usually shampoo my hair every other day, but my roots are starting to show more, and when my hair is the slightest bit oily, you can REALLY see my dark roots! So, I've been shampooing everyday. I switch up what I use though. I use a violet shampoo for my blonde highlights. The violet in the shampoo cancels out the warm/yellow tones. SO that keeps my highlights nice and bright. (If you have warm highlights, there are shampoos for Warm tones as well) Matrix makes a Violet shampoo called 'So Silver' (not just for silver hair) Rusk makes one, called Bright, and Big Sexy makes ones as well. They all work the same. And the days that I dont use the violet, I use Amplify. I like the way it smells, and it adds volume to my hair, with out drying it out. Good Stuff!

Right now I am on a big TG Bed Head kick. I am LOVING their styling products. I use Small Talk before I blow dry for volume. After I blow dry my hair, I spray Head Rush, that adds a little bit of shine, and somewhat protects my hair from my flat iron. After I flat iron out my hair, I use Manipulator, its a pommade that adds texture to my ends. And finally I use Materpiece Hairspray.

Out of everything that I use, I couldnt go without my hairspray! What hair product do you use? And what is one product that you can't live without ??
