A Tipping reminder

I'm thinking some people need a refresher on this. Even though I do hair, nails and waxing out of my house this is my job! Lately, I have had a few people say they will tip me next time. Maybe I will leave a couple hairs longer till next time? Just kidding. I love all my clients but I do evaluate how much you appreciate me by how much you tip me:)

Announcing the 2011 Halloween costumes of the Tupou Family....

I'm so excited! I finally found the kids Halloween costumes for this year. Drum roll please......

For the girls:

Cupcakes!!! I think one will be strawberry and the other chocolate:) both with sprinkles of course. I think I will make the top frosting part a little more puffy.

And for my little baby boy:

A cookie!!! How cute is this? I just have to make a tiny one for my baby that will be a few weeks old. I think I may only make the front part and glue it to a onesie.

Now what can the Mr. and I be? I was thinking he could be a glass of milk. What about me though? I have a few things up my sleeve but they don't coordinate with my little sweets. Now I just have to get to sewing before I have this munchkin. I love Halloween!

It's 1:20 in the morning and I am gloriously looking at my laptop. Our power cord broke about a month ago so my internet experience was limited to a peek here and there. I really, really missed it. As I sit here experiencing braxton hicks and thinking about how I am dead at 9am church tomorrow I still happy as a clam catching up on all the what, when, where, and how. Also, Tati has a talk in primary and we have yet to write it. Let me just say......"It's good to be back"!

Pinterest lust

I'm consumed with Pinterest. Consumed! Do you know how wonderful it is? I wish I would have thought of this idea and made millions of dollars.....

More than half way....

22 weeks. HUGE. But feeling so blessed!

I love a parade.....

Our own little Saratoga Springs had a parade! It was really fun. I've never been so close to a parade. We had a few strange encounters with men in short shorts doing high kicks in our face....awkward much? It was a great day to start off the summer and I loved spending time with the family.

This time around

I thought maybe I should do the classic "this pregnancy" post. So here are some different and same things:

At week 21 I am still throwing up everyday, maybe twice. So I guess it will be this way until the day I deliver. People are nice and always tell me that they feel bad for me but the truth is it's kinds relieving. So many of my friends are having miscarriages, trying to adopt, can't get pregnant and everytime I throw up it is a realization of how lucky I am.

Just like his two big sisters, this boy favors my right side. By the end of my pregnancy my belly is so disproportional with my right side stretched out. Weird, huh?

I'm having a hard time buying boy clothes. I'm just drawn to girl clothes. I just don't want my son to look like every other boy out there. I want him to have some style, I'm just having a hard time finding it.

I feel attractive this pregnancy. I did with my first but felt like butt the second. I like my pregnancy glow and even though my body is HUGE, I like it. I've gotten a few cat calls and whistles so maybe others like it too???

I started taking iron during my pregnancy, instead of after and it has made a huge difference in my energy.

Although, I'm still irritable I really have a new found love for my existing children. I have a intensified feeling of mommyhood and can't believe how lucky I am to have such wonderful, adorable children. I am so in awe of the beauty of my daughters and lay in bed wondering what this little boy will look like.

I've decided that I want to take family pictures while I am pregnant. Crazy? Probably, but I know after this boy comes it changes the whole dynamics of our family so I want to document it now. Besides, like I said I like this preggo body.

The biggest difference is just realizing we are having a BOY! This is so new to me. I was in shock even the second time that little penis came up on the ultrasound. I keep worrying he is going to change into a girl. By the look of it, that's not going to happen.
