"Heelarious" and other ridiculous things

I saw these, and am so disgusted by them I feel it is necessary to share them with everyone. Heelarious Heels is what they are called, and these ones I came across advertised on craigslist for 0-6 month old babies. Babies!! High heels for babies!! I just think they are utterly disgusting and disturbing, but perhaps there are some out there that think they are cute??? Let me know what you think, I am just so blown away with these things and appalled by them. I can't even really say anything, I just stared at the computer monitor and shook my head and made Steve come over and look at them because I had nothing to say about them. Seriously, what do you guys think about them? Would you buy them for your little girl or a friends girl? If you like them, good for you, someone has to like them and buy them or they wouldn't make them, that someone is just not me. Oh, and they have a website where you can buy them. heelarious.com




So after I posted this originally I continued looking on craigslist for stuff and came across this Jeep pet stroller. There was a lady in the store the other day with one of these things, hers was hot pink. This is just ridiculous though, I thought it was bad enough that people would bring their pets into a furniture store, some loose, some on leashes, then I saw people with pets sticking out the top of their purse, or in their own little doggie carrying bag, and now they even have strollers for pets!! Honestly, what type of dog needs a stroller, can't it walk? Ugh. This second one is more like I saw at my store the other day. I googled pet stroller, and under images alone came up with 101,000 results. This brings a whole new meaning to taking your dog for a walk.

Pumpkin Carving

On Monday we had FHE at Mel and Jared's house. We carved pumpkins, and by we I mean most people, I helped scoop them out, then separated out all of the seeds so I could cook them, and then I left them at all at Mel's house. Whoops. Here are some pictures from that, but first I will post one of my Halloween "costume" that I wore to work. I knew none of my coworkers were going to dress up and I didn't want to be the only one dressed up so I semi-dressed up. I cut out the shapes and taped them on my shirt when I got to work.

Pregnancy Pictures: Week 37

Yep, still pregnant. Here are some pictures we took today.

Still not that big considering I only have 2 1/2 weeks left.

I made it through almost entire pregnancy with no stretch marks on my belly. About two weeks ago these appeared. They really aren't that bad, and you can barely see them in the picture, it's just mostly the bottom half of my stomach going in circles around my belly button. Although they have faded some the past couple of days, it still kind of makes me sad, I made it so far, but I shouldn't complain, these are nothing on what some people got.

Pumpkin Patch Date

A couple of Fridays ago, on the 17th, Steve and I went on a date!! We went to a pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins, and also went through the corn maze at the place, Ferrari Farms! This was my first time ever going to a pumpkin patch (that I can remember) and it was a lot of fun, although the pumpkins at these places are EXPENSIVE! or maybe I am just cheap. Steve's pumpkin cost $8 and mine was $2. Then it was $5 each to go through the corn maze, I think the maze was a reasonable price. The corn maze was not scary, the paths were very narrow, and after some searching we finally found the end!! After the pumpkin patch we went out to dinner at the Grand Sierra buffet, yummy! It was a very fun date. On the way we bought a wind-up flashlight which worked way good, I was very impressed! We had tons of fun and enjoyed our little fall date together and hope to start this as a family tradition. Anyways, enjoy the pictures!!

Heritage Makers

So, last night I went out to eat with my best friend Christy, we went to Washoe, a steakhouse, and I think it was probably the best steak I have ever had, it was perfect and delicious. But, that's not what this blog is about.
Christy is a consultant for Heritage Makers and they make personalized books, cards, calendars, and other cool stuff, so while we were at dinner she showed me her latest book which is about her pregnancy with her son Joshua, and it was very cool. Basically, if you want to make a book you use this program they have to custom-make everything or use already made templates, and then they send you your book! Or if you are into digital scrapbooking, but want to put your 12x12 pages into a traditional scrapbook, you can just print out your 12x12 digital pages. They are perfect if you like the idea of scrapbooking but don't want to deal with the mess, and they are also beautiful wonderful quality hardbound books. I love these books, and wanted to put out a little blurb for Christy and what it is she does. She does workshops to teach other people how to do online storybooking, and does them online and at people's homes.
I will be hosting a workshop sometime in November (just in time for the holiday season, I think these books can make a perfect gift for family members and friends), depending on when baby comes, so if you are interested please let me know and I will let you know when it is. Anyways, Christy will do a much better job letting you know what it is she does, so here is a link to her storyteller blog and her heritage makers website to see what it is all about! I also have a link to her own blog on the left side of my page.

Photo Tag

You are supposed to look in your photos on your computer and post your 4th photo in your 4th folder and tell what is going on in that picture.

"Gene Simmons and His Studded Package"

I thought this was too hilarious, and wanted to die when I opened up our pictures to figure out what the winner would be. Totally not representative in any way of the pictures we take, but that's what it was. Too funny if you ask me. So our 4th folder is Steve's pictures from his disposable camera when we went to Seattle. This was at the Experience Music Project. This is an outfit that Gene Simmons from KISS wore.
I tag: Arielle, Mom, Erin, and Jodi.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

Today it snowed all day long. Not kidding. I loved it. I went outside for a second just to stand in the snow, and it made me very giddy and giggly. I am really excited for winter now. I think it was especially nice because they were the big fat wet snowflakes, and it was still pretty warm outside, so it was just perfect kind of like a cold spring rainstorm. Don't worry though, it will be back in the 70s next week!
Here is a news video on the weather today, hopefully the link works ok.
