It's sort of cruel to be showing these pictures in January when the weather is miserable and the air quality is even worse. But I'm gonna.<br />

Ivy. She was made for the sun. Seriously....her skin is the kind you can only DREAM about having. <br />

And then there is this dude. Who burns (look at those sad pink arms! and lips?) even when slathered in the highest SPF known to mankind. I'm sorry my love, you are your mother's son.<br />

I think he's hoping to look sexy/smart for that chick laying out behind the boom box....aaaaand he NAILED IT. <br />

Austin and Brittnie. Lovey love birds who love each other. They havin a baby!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit112.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit112.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
For those of you who know Ethan - you know what a big moment this was. For him to go out in the ocean ON PURPOSE TO HAVE FUN is a pretty big deal. This cute little 9 year old has Asperger's (and Tourette's Syndrome) so - no, this doesn't happen often. And by that I mean ever. I thought my dad was going to explode from excitement :)<br />

Would you just look at that belly. Toddler bellies are what dreams (and zerberts) are made of. <br />

<br />
And THAT, my lovelies, was our second day at the beach. <br />
<br />
We're allllmost finished with Califrinia - swear. (I just gotta put the pictures <em>somewhere</em> other than my hard drive, ya know?)Andrea Harperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04861844156340002213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474003360058508250.post-91834586737900092332013-01-28T15:54:00.001-07:002013-01-28T15:54:12.693-07:00The PierYep, still bloggin about Cali. And look, Halloween's not happy about it. Not happy at all. But I'm all "GET OVER IT HALLOWEEN, I HAVE PALM TREES AND STARFISH TO TALK ABOUT." <br />
<br />
Because plam trees and starfish take precedence over anything. Unless it's Ryan Gosseling and then WINNER. ALWAYS. (just kidding that was dumb) Also, there are no starfish in this post. <br />
<br />
Anyway, without fail everytime we are in Newport/Oceanside we go to Ruby's. It's just a must. I've been going there with my dad since I was a little girl, and now it's just tradition. <br />
<br />

It smells like salt, fish, and memories. <br />
<br />

<br /><br />
Walking down the pier to Ruby's is half the fun. The people watching, the dolphin watching, the fishermen, the fisherman's catch (from fish to squid to sharks etc.), and usually some form of live music. It makes me all sorts of happy. <br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit13-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit13-2.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Do you think we spotted Nash's name...? I'll give you 1 guess.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit20-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit20-2.jpg" /></a><br />
This blue wall. I wanted it to happen, and Nash wanted it to....not. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit22.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit22.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Nash would like to inform you that having your picture taken is the most horrible thing in all the land of Horribleness. <br />
<br />

<br />
My little Vienna Sausages out for the world to ponder. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit23-3.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit23-3.jpg" /></a><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit23-4.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit23-4.jpg" /></a><br />
Oh and hey look! Austin came that day! <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit24-3.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit24-3.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
I imagine the thoughts in Nash's head go as follows: Top Left - I don't want my picture taken! Top Right - Stop! It's killing me! Bottom Left - Ohmygosh, it's not stopping. Bottom Right - This is it. This is my life. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit25.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit25.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Then the sun went down, the jackets came out, and the hand holding began. Nash LOVES to hold hands right now. Which is like....ugh, the <em>best</em>.<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit27.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit27.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Don't be embarrassed or anything, but you were WAY off. We totally found it.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit28.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit28.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Yessir that's my sons name. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit29.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit29.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
And then this picture happened. <br />
<br />
Next up, beach day #2. I know, it's like are 2 beach day posts really necessary?? I mean, couldn't I have combined them???? The answer is no.<br />
<br />
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
So one of my resolutions this year is to keep an updated blog. HA! I know! I gave myself a real questioning look as well, but I stared myself back - right in the eye and said "what <em>son</em>?" in my best intimidating voice and myself was all "woah - she means it". So cheer me on will ya? I have no less than 589 posts to get up before I'm all caught up to date so it might get real whirlwindy around here. At least I'm hoping so.<br />

<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit102.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit102.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
The beach really outdid itself this time. Nash is at such a fun age. To him, everything is ridiculously fascinating. And exciting! And incredible!! He couldn't wait to see how quickly he could get sand in every nook and cranny possible. I timed him - he's quick. Like, qualify for the Olympics quick.<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit33.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit33.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
There isn't a Get Real Sandy event in the Olympics? Shame. <br />
<br />
This was only a few short months ago and already he looks 17 years older. SOB.<br />
<br />

<br />
A shovel and a bucket is the direct way to that childs heart. He will most certainly love you forever. And ever and ever, and never leave you until he's 30 and then moves next door. <br />

<br />
See? Bucket and shovel people. Bucket and shovel.<br />
<br />
We played and played and played. All day long we played. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit43.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit43.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
And then things got a little...cheeky.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit46.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit46.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Who knew it wasn't a nude beach? So we got <strike>ourselves</strike> him dressed and called it a day.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit47.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit47.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
We hauled our boogie boards in. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit49.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit49.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
He's one cute boogie boarder wouldn't you say?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit48.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit48.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
But he eventually gave up and hitched a ride in.<br />

The little guy was not happy to be leaving. Neither was the big guy. Or the girl. <br />

But we had pizza calling our names. Right behind that adorable little lighthouse.<br />

And when pizza calls our names....<br />

And now I wanna go back.<br />

<br />
There are 170 photos. Not that I took, no. That would be too easy. That's merely the number I resized and decided were going on this blog. Jeeperz.<br />
<br />
Wait, sit back down. I'm gonna do my best to not....do that ^ and also I am breaking this vacation up into parts...so, woah. Doable!<br />
<br />
This is from way back in Biblical times also known as August. I am so, so behind and I'll probably be blogging our Halloween pictures come New Years, so stay tuned! Anyways, we do this trip with my Dad nearly every year and it's one of our very favs. Heather and her family weren't able to come, and neither was Chace. It was sad, they straight up missed out. <br />
<br />
First up, pool time! <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit2.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit2.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
As mentioned before, this child is a fish. He could be in the water all day everyday.Weirdly enough, it took him a little while to warm up to the pool this time. But once he figured out he could dump water on Daddy's head, well...you're looking at what would be the next few hours of their lives.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit7.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit7.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Palms. Oh palms how you steal my heart. I will not divulge the amount of palm pictures I took. I won't. So don't even try to get it out of me! You hear?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit6.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit6.jpg" /></a><br />

<br />
Buzz and Nash were so twinning that day.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit126.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit126.jpg" /></a><br />

<br />
Someone got pushed in with their clothes on. And then someone continued to swim like that for the next hour. Someone is super weird. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit4.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit4.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Hey, those are my boys right there. Aren't they cute?<br />
<br />
Then we did ourselves a little kayaking/paddle boating. I was prepared for it to be "just ok" because it's only around the little marina, but it was honestly one of my favorite things we did.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit68.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit68.jpg" /></a><br />

<br />
This kid wanted to dive right in. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit72.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit72.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
My Dad, Ethan, Ivy, Nash and I started out on the paddle boat. While the others took kayaks. I thought Steve was going to have a panic attack...he no likey deep water. <br />
<br />

These fooligans. That's fools + hooligans. I am way cool.<br />

<br />
Lookin for seals.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit80.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit80.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
There's one! They were EVERYWHERE. I was equal parts excited and nervous. Them seals are huger than you thinks them are. (?) <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit81.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit81.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
They even had a kids sailing class going on. I meeaaaaaan, don't even be that cute. You take your mini sail and you go. I can't even stand it.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit85.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit85.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Just living the life, eatin a granola bar. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit82.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit82.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Then he took a little ride on the kayak. And LOVED it. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/?action=view&current=edit86.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Oceanside%202012/edit86.jpg" /></a><br />

<br />
No one fell in, which was disappointing to say the least. Kidding, I would have been sure to have a heart attack. Where there's a large population of seals, there are also plenty of sharks. WAITING TO EAT MY FACE. But I'm like, not this face sharks. <em>Not this face.</em> (it's important you visualize me pointing to my face while also giving the stink eye) Aaaannyway, after we were through we had ourselves a delicious seafood dinner overlooking the water, and some dude did fall in. I was freaking out but nobody else seemed to think it was a big deal. Plus, he got right back on his kayak so...shark attack averted!<br />
<br />
Yep, there's a tiny microscopic taste of what's coming your way. For the next SEVEN YEARS. <br />
<br />
Yeah! I say Ocean, you say Side!<br />
<br />
OCEAN!<br />
......(side) this is your part<br />
<br />
OCEAN!<br />

And can I just say for a moment here how happy I am to have married in to this family?? Why yes, I can. I'm real happy about it guys - real happy. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">If you follow my Instagram, some of these pics are repeats. But I feel like you'll be ok. Air smooch.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">You know, I really should start being picky about the pictures I'm willing to put on the internet of myself. Until then...</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Bryce%20Canyon%202012/?action=view&current=edit16.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Bryce%20Canyon%202012/edit16.jpg" /></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We halked (hiked-more-like-walked) to this little waterfall.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Bryce%20Canyon%202012/?action=view&current=edit15.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Bryce%20Canyon%202012/edit15.jpg" /></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">And people were all, absolutely I will get in that freezing water. It's mostly not on option unless you have a camera around your neck so...winning!</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Bryce%20Canyon%202012/?action=view&current=edit26.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Bryce%20Canyon%202012/edit26.jpg" /></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Kevin is so hardcore he rides dirt bikes in shorts and flip flops. I know. It's like, who is this fearless man-beast??? HE MAH HUBBAND.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Bryce%20Canyon%202012/?action=view&current=edit27.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Bryce%20Canyon%202012/edit27.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This munchface crazybuns played with rocks. All the live long day. Everyday. All the time. 24-7. Never stopped. Rooooooccccckkkkkkssssss.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Bryce%20Canyon%202012/?action=view&current=edit25.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Bryce%20Canyon%202012/edit25.jpg" /></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Then, you <em>guys</em>. We put on a rodeo. Just, maybe you should read that last sentence one more time. Yes way, we PUT IT ON. The visitors ARE the rodeo. You volunteer to be awesome/stupid. So naturally, Kevin and his family lined right up. He rode a bull named Muffin Top. HE RODE A BULL NAMED MUFFIN TOP. Would you even believe it if I told you Kevin doesn't ride bull's for a living??? I was literally shaking. It seems a bit quick to go from "hey you've never been within 10 feet of a bull before? How bout you hop on and take a ridesy - he's suuuper pissed right now! Watch out for those horns!". Or is it just me?</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Bryce%20Canyon%202012/?action=view&current=edit9.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Bryce%20Canyon%202012/edit9.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There he is! What great form! I see the devil in that bull's eye. THE DEVIL. Anyway, he lived. With all important body parts plus $10 so total win/win. There's some really cute boots I've been eyeballin, so I was like, listen rodeo announcer - my husband will volunteer 20 more times. His official time was 5 seconds(1st place!), which is impressive considering the pros have to go 8. But when you watch the video back, apparently official time and actual time are not the same thing ;) "coughmorelike3secondscough".</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My brother in law Ty. He's so country right now. Listen ladies, this heartbreaker is single. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Then we went to the lake. Some fished, some swam, some threw rocks... </span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Bryce%20Canyon%202012/?action=view&current=edit18.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Bryce%20Canyon%202012/edit18.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Bad example alert! We had a rock skipping contest. And I'm not even lying...Kevin won. He brought his <em>A-game</em> to Bryce this year. Clearly I've got crazy bragging rights. Like, CHAMPION ROCK SKIPPER/3 SECOND BULL RIDER HUSBAND kind of bragging rights. Don't. Don't be jealous. I mean, probably you should though.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Also, my husband is the mighty dolphin on the right. If this post doesn't make you wish YOU were married to him, I don't know what will. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Again. SINGLE.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The shops are the cutest. I bought a dream catcher because seriously, when in Rome. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">And when it got dark we played games and sang songs around the campfire. We pretend that this is for the kids - it's not. Children are forgotten and adults get competitive. My brother-in-law Erik put on this Don't Forget the Lyrics game. I bet right now you're thinking "Kevin won. It's the only way". And you guys....I can't make this stuff up. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Oh Bryce. My husband OWNED you that weekend in July. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">P.S. i don't actually remember who won the Lyric game, but my heart tells me it was my husband's team. It just makes sense. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">......................................................................................................................................</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I'll leave you with one last picture. Because at this point, what's one more???</span><br />
<br />

BUT! but when I'm picking fresh things from my backyard in my pajamas at 3pm, I feel like yelling to my neighbs "H to the yeah! Are you <em>seeing</em> this stuff?!? I grew it! now I'mma EAT it!" and things. so. <br />
<br />
here she is. hooo, she's a hot mess but i whisper sweet nothings to her anyway. honestly, we must have veggie crack in our dirt because things grow out of control with little to no effort on our part. my garden is like, the neighborhood bully keepin all the other veggie gardens is check - like what? you got pumpkins?? PFFF, i got 20! oh you need asparugus?? DONE. you jealous of my zucchini's leaves?? yeah that's right - they're HUGE. my peppers will take your peppers DOWN. what? WHAT??? chest bump.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Or. . . </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The pants that this sisterhood traveled with? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hmm. . . .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The sisterhood that traveled and also?? <em>ALSO</em> we wore pants. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The sisters that shared pants while traveling in the 'hood. {it could happen}</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Listen. There were pants and we traveled. Ok? Get off my back.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Seriously, get ready for a weird post. And alot of parenthesis <em>cause im just in a parenthesis kind of mood. </em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>((()))) <--- </em>proof<em>.</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's true though. We did that. We took us a little girls trip to St. George back in the beginning of June. And I've been working on this post since then. I mean it's not like I've been working <em>hard</em> on it or anything, I just can't seem to get a good flow going here so if you feel weird {like extra weirder than normal} after reading this....me too. ME TOO SISTER. Also, if you cringed at the uncorrectness {ha!} of my parenthesis sentence, this is not the post for you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">So. I was the official picture taker-er {whether people liked it or not} so I am in a total of exactly none of these pictures. Awe shucks, darn it, and other sad words. It's ok though, I didn't want to one up every one else's six packs with my 17 pack {it's impressive, you'll have to trust me}.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">My friends. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Hooooboy I don't know what's with them, but they need to stop being all worky outty and eatty goody because WTF. LIKE SERIOUSLY WTF. These chicks are hot! They mostly come to me for advice {17 pack!} and I'm like *eyeroll* ok.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Also? I lost my voice on this trip. Yep. Like any time I wanted to even make the sound of a little bitty smoker's whisper, I had to use the force of 12 people yelling {I'm assuming, cuz how could I ever know for certain, right?}. So that was exciting. Who doesn't love losing their voice? Be honest. BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF. {just kidding, it really was awful}</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Mostly all we did was lay out {I got sooooo tan}, eat, sleep, and play Catch Phrase {I'm a gamer. Not kidding I'd rather play games than do most anything}. It was delightfulness at it's best. Here are pictures. Mostly of us at the pool. Oh and I did what I thought at the time were "fun little filters" on most the pictures. Now I just think they look like poo. {uh oh, PMS??} You be the judge, but don't tell me...because...you know. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So yeah. St. George 2012. We had lots-o-fun. I LOVE my friends. Real glad I got 'em. We missed a good slew of girls that couldn't make it. We are thinking NYC next. Oh, no one that went to St. George knows that?? Weird. Well, hoot and holler now you know. </span>Andrea Harperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04861844156340002213noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474003360058508250.post-76200688409409142422012-07-13T23:41:00.001-06:002012-07-13T23:41:31.366-06:00Independence Day!<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm pretty redundant these days with my "everything is better with Nash" speech. But listen, EVERYTHING IS SO MUCH BETTER WITH NASH. The kid makes me wanna dot my i's with little hearts, take up skipping, do cartwheels, and make 17 different versions of chocolate chip cookies <em>just to</em> see <em>which one is better.</em> It's a straaaange thing that's happening in this household and I'm going with it. He's changed me. And I <em><u>like</u></em> it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Anywhoodle, this post is about the 4th of July. And what I meant by all that is that it was especially fun this year because Nash is aware. He participates, gets excited, goes on 20 second rants of Gobbledeegook (toddler language, clearly) after EVERY SINGLE FIREWORK. Watching him is MY excitement, MY fun. Cue the collective awe. (you better be awe-ing)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We started off the day at my mom's with swimming, pizza, and popsicles. Nash is becoming quite the little fish and anything involving cousins is like his version of winning the lottery. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He might look a hair nervous here, but he LOVED it. Seriously I was prepared for him to be terrified all night because people in my neighborhood go bat-freaking crazy with the fireworks. We're talking who needs Stadium of Fire when you have the people down the street. THOUSANDS of dollars spent and I get a free, front row show :) Anyway, he was in heaven. And therefor, so were Kevin and I. </span><br />

It's just too cute.
It had been raining all day and when it finally let up we went outside to wait for Dad to come home from work. First of all, these boys loooove each other. Kevin turns into some kind of mushy baby lovin puddle of cuteness when it comes to Nash (and really just kids in general). Here it is in whole lotta pictures...

Nash was all "skins yo" so we obliged. His BFF Beckham was shirts. It was an intense game people. In the end, both teams won (cuz ya know...<i>TODDLERS</i>). It was hilarious watching those two (poo on me for not getting any pictures of Becks) I was surprised at how quickly Nash caught on and he looooooved it. He was in heaven. (I smell a basketball hoop coming to our house soon!)

Dad doin a little half-time coaching. Nash's face in this kills me. Clearly it was a very serious ball game happening here.

It took me all of 3 seconds to say YES!! YES! PICK ME! Which was super awkward since she kinda already had. It was to specifically showcase her mad skillz as a photographer, and to launch the new bridal hairpiece line for the very talented Kaysi who owns the Etsy shop London Raquel. Since she was having 3 models for the shoot, I asked my friend Talisia (who was also one of the models!) to help a girl out.<br /><br />First of all, these girls are BEAUTIFUL. Like, thankyouJesus beautiful. They were a dream to show up and work on. We seriously ended up having a blast. We jammed to music, ate lotsa yummy fruit, and played in makeup...what more could you ask for? A million dollars, that's what. But I didn't.<br /><br />ANYWAYS: Talisia and I were excited because we hadn't seen 2 of the 3 dresses, or most of the hairpieces/jewelry until we got there. It wath a thurprise. Sometimes it's fun to think on your feet and go with the flow. Who knew? <br /><br />Okay so for Shikeyah, or Shikay-kay as I call her (oh nope, I don't) we decided on a really deep, bold lip with a more subtle golden eye. No bottom liner, no bottom mascara. We also wanted an "undone" look, so I fishtailed the shnaz out of her hair (plus some extensions...shhh) and pulled out pieces and roughed it up a little.<br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/?action=view&current=edit8.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/edit8.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />She is so beautiful it's gross.<br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/?action=view&current=edit7.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/edit7.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/?action=view&current=edit2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/edit2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/?action=view&current=edit6.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/edit6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/?action=view&current=edit1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/edit1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Isn't that dress stunning?

Yes it is.<br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/?action=view&current=edit4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/edit4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Kaysi from London Raquel also has a line of wedding garters. Word.<br /> <br />For Brooke we were going to do a high bun and mess the poo out of it, but she had some extensions already in her hair that would have shown had we done that. Sad face. So we slapped in some longer extensions in a variety of colors (for some dimension) and "bed head" curled it. We wanted her eyes to be the focus so we smoked em out and did more of a natural lip. (not sure why I'm explaining this step by step, it's pretty obvious when you look at the pictures, but it makes me feel more important) <br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/?action=view&current=edit11.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/edit11.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />This gorgeous girl has three kids.

Me-ow. It just felt right in my heart. Then I threw the headband hairpiece over her crown and braided sections tucking them back into the headband. (picture at the end to show this a little better) Then of course pulling out random pieces to mess it up a bit. <br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/?action=view&current=edit21.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/edit21.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/?action=view&current=edit22.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/edit22.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/?action=view&current=edit17.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/edit17.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/?action=view&current=edit14.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/edit14.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/?action=view&current=edit15.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/edit15.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/?action=view&current=edit25.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/bridals%20resized/edit25.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Can you believe miss Shikeyah doesn't ever wear bold lips???

Don't act like you don't love the title. I don't care who you are - that's cuteness happening right there. CUTENESS.<br /><br />Guess what else is cute? <br /><br />If you said Nash, you are officially my 3rd favorite person. Fourth if you count Tori Spelling (lucky for you, I didn't). <br /><br />Can I just say how much more fun holidays are for me now that I have a lil' nug running around? It has literally changed everything for me. I'm going to be that mom that's like "It's PRESIDENTS DAY!!!!!" as I serve a cake in the shape of Uncle Sam's head while we play Bingo with the faces of presidents passed. Maybe that will only happen in my head, but you get the idea. Holidays are fun. And I'm all about traditions and creating some awesome memories for me and my little family. <br /><br />We started out on friday coloring some eggies. <br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Easter%202012/?action=view&current=edit2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Easter%202012/edit2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Getting the dye started!<br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Easter%202012/?action=view&current=edit3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Easter%202012/edit3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />He felt suuuuper cool helping daddy<br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Easter%202012/?action=view&current=edit6.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Easter%202012/edit6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Just a smidge excited<br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Easter%202012/?action=view&current=edit8.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Easter%202012/edit8.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Easter%202012/?action=view&current=edit9.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Easter%202012/edit9.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Easter%202012/?action=view&current=edit12.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Easter%202012/edit12.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />N.....you know, for Nash.<br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Easter%202012/?action=view&current=edit13.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Easter%202012/edit13.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Dino eggs! <br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Easter%202012/?action=view&current=edit16.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Easter%202012/edit16.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />I made cupcakes!

I say "hid" because Kevin threw a blanket over it and called it good.

She said I am beating a dead horse, and for the love of all that is holy - EVERYBODY GETS IT. <br /><br />Pssssh. Nobody tells me what to do! Okay fine, she's right. But what can I say? I'm a wordy gal. I'm an over-explainer, a rambler, a talker. So here's me NOT saying anything...<br /><br />Wait. I do have to say one thing. But it's not a disclaimer, just an explanation, swear! When we moved to a different spot to take more pictures I forgot to change my camera's manual settings (I'm still getting used to that) and I didn't notice until we were almost done. Oh, me so sad. The images were almost completely dark. A small(largish) whine-fest ensued and then we moved on. So I tried my hardest to make it so you could even SEE the images. As a result they are dark, cloudy, and grainy. Waaaaah. Oh well, anyway they get better towards the end :) <br /><br />I am combining the last couple looks in this post, and I pretty much love this first look. I went on a hunt in Talisia's closet to find different sized stripes, and find them I did. I'd be okay with plural marriage if I could marry Large Stripe and Small Stripe. We would live a long and happy life together, no doubt. Sure. <br /> <br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit31-3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit31-3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit32-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit32-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit33-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit33-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit34-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit34-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit35-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit35-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />These next ones are where the settings were fixed. Hoo-rah! They are all edited VERY differently. That's what's so fun about the process for me though - all the different options and looks you can play around with.

Oh, did you think I was kidding? Please, I don't joke about these things. Seriously, these may be my favorite of all the pictures/looks we did (and there's 2 more after this). I love that they are random. I love that they are close ups (like way up). I'm beginning to think that those are my favorite kind of pictures to take - the 'right up in ya grill' kind.<br /><br />Anyway, these hats are the real deal. Talisia's brother-in-law served an LDS mission in Russia and brought these babies back. They are 2 parts awesome and only 1 part and a smidge creep. But they make for some sweet pictures!<br /><br />P.S. the editing is once again all over the place...<br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit26-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit26-2.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit25-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit25-2.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit27-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit27-1.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit28-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit28-2.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit29-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit29-1.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit49-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit49-2.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit48-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit48-2.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit47-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit47-2.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit45-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit45-2.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit46-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit46-2.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit50-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit50-2.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit51-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit51-2.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit52-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit52-2.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Sooooo, what do ya think?

I have to put quotes around that because I can't stress enough the fact that I'm not a photographer. Remember?? Like if I could put that in red flashing lights, I would. Just because I own a DSLR doesn't mean I know what I'm doing, haha! It doesn't mean I don't have a blast doing it, cuz HOLY CRAP I do. I just like to pretend I'm lots of things. Just ask my husband...WOAH THERE! Too much?? I'm sorry for that. But it's ok to say if you're joking, right?</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Wow, like 3 sentences in and I'm already completely off track. Ok. So I did actually do hair and makeup for a real live shoot with Blackbird Photography(woot!) and I'm excited to show them the crap off but I don't have those pics from the photographer yet. So in the mean time I'm posting these pictures I took of Talisia. I did her makeup, and honestly her hair doesn't even require doing. She has that hair where absolutely zero effort is needed to make it look good. She took it out of a braid, snapped some extension pieces in, and done. Yeah.</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">I will probably do a bunch of seperate posts to break up the pictures and the looks. Just.....pretend that's really exciting k?</span> <span style="font-family:courier new;">Also, we want these to be more creative versus your everyday pictures. It's just more fun that way :) I just pretend I'm taking pictures for a fashion magazine. Bahahaha!</span> <span style="font-family:courier new;">Right.<br /></span><span style="font-family:courier new;">This was our "mod" look. On farm land. Just go with it</span>.<br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit6.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit6.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit7-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit7-2.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit9.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit9.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit10-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit10-2.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit12.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit12.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/?action=view&current=edit13-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Talisia%20Photoshoot/edit13-2.jpg" /></a> <span style="font-family:courier new;">And yes, there is a big light burst on her face.

GIGANTIC ANIMAL FUR RUSSIAN HATS. Oh sure</span><span style="font-family:courier new;">.

I think this is well known, and probably just made your eyes roll. Don't judge me! It's just how I was born. And so naturally for Dell's baby shower we had a photo prop station. I loved it, and would have taken 700 more pictures of my friends with 'staches (you're not surprised? oh) but I tried to rein in the crazy and only take 678. And I think from now on I will stop warning you about the amount of pictures you are about to see. You should really just expect it by now...haha.

This is how we do baby showers with my friends :) I had so much fun being a part in doing this shower for Dell! Someone else needs to have some babies so I can do anothah ;)Andrea Harperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04861844156340002213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474003360058508250.post-20923937580379911092012-02-10T15:38:00.004-07:002012-02-11T02:00:51.488-07:00I mustache you to read this post...It's like I invented clever. BAM.<br /><br />So get ready for another loooong party post! My friends Dell and Tremayne are having their first baby, so naturally we had ourselves a little shindig. Talisia, Kira, and I threw her a shower. Can I just say I am surprised out how much it turns out I love throwing parties? Pick your jaw up off the floor. I'm slowly learning. I know, this is an interesting turn of events, is it not? Haha.<br /><br />Anyway, these were the invites we sent out.<br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Dells%20baby%20shower/?action=view&current=edit60.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Dells%20baby%20shower/edit60.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Hello gentlemen, indeed. What, you don't routinely call your girlfriends gentlemen??? How sad for you.<br /><br />So we had a little photo booth station. And by little I mean NOT LITTLE. This beaut was borrowed from Talisia's parents who just happen to have these type of things on hand. BONUS!<br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Dells%20baby%20shower/?action=view&current=edit61.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Dells%20baby%20shower/edit61.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Dells%20baby%20shower/?action=view&current=edit59.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Dells%20baby%20shower/edit59.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /> Props :)<br /><br />Nash's party was just over two weeks before, so I used alot of the same stuff , like containers and the glass bottles and such. I didn't get any pictures where the bottles were filled with the cranberry gingerale, and the plastic wrap is still on the mini cakes! The shame. Also, we had a pasta bar that I never got pictures of either. All of this saddens me waaaayy more than it should. (picture me fake ugly crying here) Anyways, here's our spread.<br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Dells%20baby%20shower/?action=view&current=edit3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Dells%20baby%20shower/edit3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Please, for the love, ignore the hanging white balloons.

Dang you plastic wrap!! I shake my fist at you! These bad boys were the stars of the night. Talisia dearest made them. I said, "we should have cupcakes!" And she said, "I will see your cupcake and raise you an individual mini cake!" I couldn't compete with that. They were DELICIOUSNESS. Red Velvet cake with homemade butter cream frosting, and chocolate cake with homemade peppermint butter cream frosting. I died and then came back to life after eating one.<br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Dells%20baby%20shower/?action=view&current=edit8.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Dells%20baby%20shower/edit8.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />I made a little diaper tricycle.<br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Dells%20baby%20shower/?action=view&current=edit15.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Dells%20baby%20shower/edit15.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Dells%20baby%20shower/?action=view&current=edit14.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Dells%20baby%20shower/edit14.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Dells%20baby%20shower/?action=view&current=edit53.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Dells%20baby%20shower/edit53.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Party favors!

Frowwnnnn. He's one. Yup. And you know how everyone who has a child will <em>without fail</em> tell you that THEY CANNOT BELIEVE THEIR CHILD IS ONE(or 5, or 8, or 16)? AND LIKE, WHERE DID THE TIME GO??? Ugh, you guys it's true. It is so rudely and horribly true. It actually kind of freaks me out. Realizing that every parent is right - the time DOES fly. And I'm more of a linger kinda gal. A lets-stretch-this-out-as-long-as-we-can girl. A last-person-to-leave-the-party-cuz-i-dont-want-it-to-end chick. You get the idea. I feel like I'm already sending him off to college and hating on all his future girlfriends(watch yourselves lady babies!). Yeesh, this is gonna be rough. <br /><br />He is my first ever one year old! And that is special business. So I threw him a PAR-TAY. A milk and cookies party. Oh you know it. I have been waiting to throw my child a party since I was born (or...for sure 11 months) I got the idea from my sister, who threw her youngest a milk and cookies party about a year and a half ago. It was so cute, and simple and I loved it. Hence the stealing of the theme. And who knew I'd ever throw a party complete with a theme??? (Me! I did!) And if I've ever threatened an insane amount of pictures before - you ain't seen nothin yet. This one totally takes the cake(pun?) It's the winner. The Valedictorian of picture posting! It's true, and I'm not even sorry about it. Ha, but seriously it's more pictures than anyone cares to see, it's mostly so I can look back and remember every little detail. <br /><br />This is the man as I went in to sing him happy birthday when he woke up. Enjoy the blurry iphone pics.<br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Nashs%201st%20birthday/?action=view&current=wakeup1.jpg" target="_blank"><img

I took sooooo many pictures and I just want to run through the streets throwing the Polaroids (there are no Polaroids) and making it rain with all of them as happy/crazy tears run down my face (it's an awesome visual and you know it) And yeah, I'm weird. You should know this by now. I promise I'll post something different soon (ex: it was someone's first birthdaayyyy! and I took no less than 7000 pictures..prepare your brain) <br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/?action=view&current=bronze-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/bronze-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/?action=view&current=kira23-1-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/kira23-1-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/?action=view&current=kira29-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/kira29-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/?action=view&current=kira30-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/kira30-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/?action=view&current=kira49-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/kira49-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />I know that the above photo is technically a no-no angle, but this shot is still one of my favs. I throw caution to the wind people!

I don't know how many times I've written this post with a 700 page explanation of why I'm doing these pictures. I first wrote a history of my obsession with fashion and all things beauty from birth on, going through barbie hairstyles to babysitting and playing salon to birthday party fashion shows(none of you will know what I'm talking about because I erased all that, just know it was lengthy and weird). Then I tried to explain why Kira looks like she's wearing no pants. Then I give you 87 reasons not to judge me because I'm not a photographer. Obviously, I'm so nervous to show them to you! I feel awkward and silly because there is no other reason for me doing them other than I thought it sounded fun. Here's my mini explanation(just trust it's mini compared to my previous efforts)<br /><br />Ok. So I had this idea that I wanted to do "photo shoots" of my friends, family, and/or anyone willing to waste a day with me. I've always had this dream of being a session stylist - someone who does the hair/makeup and/or styling of an editorial photo shoot. I love all things beauty. I've been obsessed since I was little. Anyways...all this to say that I desperately wanted to create a photo shoot. So to scratch the itch, I decided to have a little fun with my friends. I asked my friend Talisia if she'd be willing to help me out, and she of course said yes since she loves this kind of thing to. Then Kira said she would be my guinea pig. So. I kinda thought it would be fun to see if the person getting their pictures taken had any ideas of what they wanted to look like (examples: Talisia said an Indian, one of my clients/friends said a country girl, another said "just an everyday look but something completely different than I would ever do", etc) and then I would put my spin on it. Fun, right? Right!(right???) So Kira said she wanted to look like dun dun dun......a Victoria's Secret angel. Yup. And uh, she definitely could pull it off but seeing as how she's a math teacher at Herriman High and I wanted to, you know, post these on the Internet we thought maybe slightly more clothing would be good :) They are still sexy, I will warn you. And that's why I'm a smidgy smidge hesitant to put these up because I don't want anything to feel scandalous :)<br /><br />I can't tell you how much fun we had. I came home full on giddy. Couldn't stop talking about it. And we did it all with 3 kids. You guys, if you could have been a fly on the wall while we were getting Kira ready...hilarious. So Talisia and I both did the hair, makeup, and the styling. We're crazy like that (i don't know what that means) We went with a more earthy feel, but to honor Kira's request of V.S. angel we slapped some boy shorts on her lil' bum and worked around that. Talisia found this awesome location right by her house in Lehi. We partied with some cows. I was scuuurd. <br /><br />Also, I took the pictures.<br /><br />Also, I am not a photographer. I am not pretending to be one. But what real photographer would do this for free (cuz remember, there is no purpose to this other than I wanna)? Not a one. So to anyone who actually knows what they are doing - I KNOW that there are a million mistakes and funny shadows in some and so on. The editing is all over the place, but I was having to much fun playing around. Some are darker, some a little blown out, some warmer some cooler. A little bronze and black and white thrown in :) But I'm ok with it. <br /><br />Anyway, this is look number one out of 3 we did that day. And remember, Kira is wearing boy shorts, even if ya can't see 'em :)<br /><br />Ah! Here they are already. There's a lot. And then some more. Lemme know what ya think!<br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/?action=view&current=kira13-3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/kira13-3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/?action=view&current=kira9-3-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/kira9-3-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/?action=view&current=kira15-3-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/kira15-3-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/?action=view&current=kira17-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/kira17-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/?action=view&current=kira16-4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/kira16-4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/?action=view&current=kira14-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/kira14-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/?action=view&current=kira18-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/kira18-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/?action=view&current=kira6-3-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/kira6-3-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/?action=view&current=kira12-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/kira12-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/?action=view&current=kira2-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/kira2-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/?action=view&current=kira4-2-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/kira4-2-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/?action=view&current=kira7-3-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/kira7-3-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/?action=view&current=kira1-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/kira1-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/?action=view&current=kira19-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc398/AndreaHarper/Kira%20blog%20picks/kira19-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />MATH TEACHER.
