Things for Baby

Things I have bought for the baby...that I just could not resist...




that is already packed with her little things

Even though I had planned on using my Petunia Bag, I know ghetto...this was such a steal on babysteals one day that I just could not resist... BabySteals.com ~ careful this website can become addictive ;) and it also has sister co.'s kidsteals & scrapbooksteals...

...and a few clothes here & there, but only if they were on sale like under 10 bucks...because she really doesn't need them but they were cute & cheap! Here's some of my fave's...




Little bloomers from Gymboree

Little seahorse dress from Crazy 8



Little seahorse romper from Gap



Little leopard dress from Children's Place


...and my friend made me one of these canopies...it's black,white and hot pink..was just too lazy to go upstairs and take a picture of it and upload it...you get the point...




And things I want...just haven't bought or decided yet ;)



Stroller Pad/Cover for our red stroller from HipnCozy.com
haven't decided on what pattern to choose yet...





Blessing dress from Gap...simple but sweet...


and while I'm there, these from Gap are just too cute...


...and one of these strollers to make my life a whole lot easier not having to lug that car seat to dance class, school, and wherever else it is that I go during the day that doesn't have shopping carts {or Josh} ;)




and a car seat cover from HipnCozy.com would be nice but I'm not really sure since the canopy mentioned above would do the trick...still cute though...


...and to add to the ginormous basket of onesies that are practically still new I still really think she needs this from Gymboree...

that's all... ;)


{Since it's my last}

Another Pageant

Miss Princess wanted to do another pageant and since our friends who run the California Gold Coast Beauty Pageant system was coming to Sacramento we decided to go and put on the glitz ;)
Since Lexi has already outgrown the dress I made her for stat last October we had to rent a dress from the dress lady at the pageant...She has so many to choose from and they are just gorgeous! This was the one that fit Lexi just perfect! She looked beautiful in it...She placed 2nd runner~up out of 5 beautiful little girls...She brought tears to my eyes when she was up there doing her little modeling...It was so cute ;)
Here's a picture of the front of the dress...taken at the rehearsel while trying out different dresses...

This pageant we decided to try talent too. She did her bumblebee number and had a microphone stand and everything...She placed 1st runner~up in this division out of 4 girls...She did awesome...she is not shy at all and she sang it so loud! She said this part was her favorite more than the beauty modeling...;)
We had a great time and she was happy to come home with 3 trophies, a mini crown and a medallion and in the end that's all that matters...and she knows that it was another little girls turn to win ;) {even if the other girl won both beauty and talent :P} but we had fun watching some of these amazing little models up there on stage... and Daddy and the boys came to support Lexi...;) It was a good experience.
