Orange Creamsicle

As all of you know, yesterday was Fathers Day! My Dad literally taught me almost everything I know. From reading (the words 'biggie sized' on a burger king menu to be exact) to being brave and loyal. He is strong and bright and such a leader. Ever since I can remember I've been crazy proud to have him as a Dad.

He is one of those people who has everything he wants though, so I painted him a picture for the occasion instead :P



Yeah, it's super childish :)

We all went to church, lunch, and a movie to celebrate our wonderful Papa :) While we were waiting for everyone to show up for the movie, Yeti, Vikki, and I went to this completely adorable cupcake shop next door.

They had the cutest assortment of cupcakes, and retro decor to top it off?! Yes please :P

It even matched my little blog with a crazy cute, cupcake themed bunting:

And look at those little newspaper flower holders! :D Ah! I wore Charolotte Russe wedges, a glittery gold and pastel gemmed owl necklace and one of my very favorite Target dresses. It is actually a very tasteful salmon color, not electric orange as these photos would lead you to believe :P I was chaneling sort of a Jackie O meets Elsiecake from A Beautiful Mess. I think overall it was a pretty great day. We saw The Green Lantern, which was not as terrible as I expected it to be. Don't get me wrong, I love comic book movies, but animated purple aliens? Not my cup of tea. One movie I am crazy excited for though is the new Harry Potter!! :D Only one more month!! We are truly geeking out.

I hope you all had a very sweet Father's Day weekend as well. I know for a lot of us, that day can be a sad reminder of what you've lost. I hope instead, you were reminded of how loved you are by the people that you do have, and as always I hope you have a beautiful day :)

Sweet and Spoiled

This has officially been the longest birthday in history. We didn't have time to celebrate it as a family last week, so this Sunday we had a crazy delicious BBQ and my very special pink with dots birthday cake :)

My Mom has made me this cake, pink strawberry frosting, confetti vanilla cake, decorated with Dots candies, five or so times over the years now. Nothing says birthday like it :)

The BBQ was at my parents cute little house, in the next town over. It was so nice to spend time with everyone and have even more cake! :P I love them all so much! Speaking of which, our little family has had a change recently, my sister in law moved in with us! It feels a little funny having a roomate again, but its so nice having her with us, she's freaking darling :) She's goofy and fun and we get along great!

According to Calvin, I have ANOTHER birthday surprise coming, and I'm finally getting my birthday tattoo this weekend, whew, I am one spoiled girl :) Even though I don't deserve it, thank you everyone for making 20 an amazing year so far!

And thank you to my new followers as well :) I hope you enjoy it here. Feel free to comment and share, I'd love to get to know you! As always, have a beautiful day.
