There's a new addition to the family! 7 weeks along!

What is Laveen?

A beautiful agricultural community! Laveen is known for its dairies and farms. The town slogan "Laveen: Come smell our dairy air!".

Quaint Small Town! Think Queen Creek with freeways and ten minutes from downtoan Phoenix .

A haven for sportslovers! There are plans to build a Spring Training sports center in 2012.

Sports Tragedy! Miami Dolphins linebacker Larry Gordon died while jogging in Laveen. Philidelphia Eagles linebacker Byron Evons' house burnt down in Laveen. In 2006, Emmit Smith built a massive shopping center in Laveen, it is now completely abondoned! Sports stars- stay out of Laveen!

A burgeoning metropolis! Aside form Emmitt Smith's failed attempts, Laveen really is growing. ADOT is expanding the 202 and 101 freeways into Laveen, there are plans for a hospital and shopping centers (I hope a Target!).

Our New Home Town! Thats right, we're moving this Labor Day weekend. I hope that this bevy of information has swayed you to make the trip to come visit us in beautiful Laveen!

Another Mini Break

Last night we went to Tucson to see one our favorite bands, Wilco, play. Wow it was awesome! We sat way up in the balcony but its was still a great show. Here are some videos of some of their songs from a documentary about them:

Mini Breaks

A couple of weeks ago Nathan and I went to Prescott for a little mini break. I wasn't expecting much, just a little time away from the heat and our apartment,  but it was a great time! we stayed in Nathan's dad's rental cottage in the Downtown area. All of the homes in that neighborhood are little Victorians like this

So cute, right? There was a classic care show just a couple of blocks away. The weather was so beautiful, maybe 60 degrees. 

Sorry I don't how to get rid of the underlining text! Alright I know the above picture is small, but look closely to see if you can see the Dodge Caravan in the back left of the picture. That car was in the classic car show! 

For a laugh, put space boots on your dog!

new NEW clothes!

Ok I'm finished with some 0f my projects and here they are!

Here's the first: I bought this one from forver21 for a couple dollars on the clearance rack. 

Before: After:

                               

I know its nothing too difficult, but hey its a new outfit for a couple of bucks!

This was one of my favorite dresses, but it was just too short.

Before: After:

I cut off the top and added a little bit of tulle to make it little poofy.

This one I think is my favorite. I got it at the Arizona Breast Cancer Thrift Store. (The old DAV)

It looks repulsive on me at first but I loved the fabric. I tried to do my most pitiful before picture

Before:    After:

   

All I really did here was take the dress in on the sides. 

If anyone has any good ideas about any other projects let me know!
