What's up with Us?

Well, Brielle and aria both had rounds of the FLU and thankfully we made it through unscathed!

Brielle has been trying to avoid taking naps and this is what ends up happening about 5 ish or so!

She was very cuddly during her two days of sickness and i enjoyed it , even though i missed my normal morning routine of the gym and back. 

Aria had only a short bit of it and she bounced back really quick. It's been hard trying to keep them apart and i feel like i lysoled my WHOLE House!
SO, we are on the mend and looking forward to Our Parties coming up and Halloween night and then bright and Early Saturday morning we will leave back up to FALLON, to help my mom set up her shop:)

Reno Hot Air Balloon Races

So I'm obviously catching up on OLD NEWS. But, I had so much fun in Fallon and Reno and one highlight was waking up at the crack of dawn and hauling the kids to the Balloon Races.My little girl loves to clap for just about anything.
Cousin Owen and all of us had so much fun looking at this amazing spectacle! I remember doing this as a little kid myself. Brielle was fascinated and kept asking when she could" go for a ride".

Some Hot Buns on that Bunny:)

Brielle and Aria Help roll up the tarp for the Sands Hotel crew too. ( this was Aria's favorite part) Aria ran everywhere she could and had no fear of these giant balloons.
I had to catch this image as we walked towards our cars home. It was a very tiring day but super fun. Oh yeah, i haven't edited the kids bounce house pics. But, they had a blast at the many bounce houses that were there:) We miss being up there heeps!

Like Father, Like Daughter

So, when Brandon was a bitty little boy, he used to fall all the time. He learned to run very soon after he learned to walk. He has kind of a big melon ( custom sized hats usually) and he'd fall straight forward onto that melon of his. Many bruises happened but this was his first big one!Aria has had four bruises so far but this is her first BIG ONE! She did the same thing and used her head instead of her hands to catch herself. She fell on a door track at the sitter's house. I knew  this would happen soon, i was just wondering HOW! Hopefully she doesn't get as bad as daddy did, though!
I must warn you this picture is a bit scary and it's after Brandon had repeatedly fallen on his noggin in the same place. Once, he landed on bricks, once he tried to jump off the church stage and fly like superman and many other Boyish stunts! OUCH! Poor Bitty Brandon!

He turned out alright though. I just put Aria's big flowers on and try to cover that honking bruise for now. 
Thanks Betty for these pics of my man! Love ya!

A Bit of Last week's adventures

Last week was a bit of a roller coaster for us. I tried to unpack from our trip up north, clean and organize my house and get some of my business stuff done. Also, i am continuing my workouts every morning as usual. I needed to re-stock our fridge and do the normal home things as well.
We've been debating wether or not to keep Myla now. She's a good dog but, i still feel we don't give her that much QT. She deserves more from Owners. So, that's been on my mind. i also realized last Monday that the Tri-athalon i wanted to do was on a SUNDAY and I'm no
t really interested in Breaking the Sabbath so, I looked into 2 other tri's. One is in AZ and one is in ST. George. I'll let you know what i decide to do. I was way bummed about that SYK!

I got my temporary crown on my tooth and while the sweet hygenist( she really is 
very kind and sweet) was putting this nasty tasting crap in my gums( i mean packing it into a place tat used to have tooth their) the novacaine started to wear off( or whatever it is they use). It started to throb. They gave me more numbing stuff and it was fine after that. 
The next morning, i woke up in minimal discomfort and went on with my daily routine of getting the girls dressed fed and out the door to the gym a
nd while i was preparing some food, I heard aria fall and she yelled/cried so loud, I rushed to her and snuggled her and brought her over to the kitchen. i put her finger under water, thi-
nking she had slammed it or something, then, i went over to wear she was and lo and behold, there was a HUGimous ( Brielle's word) SCORPION ( Scerpie as B's says)!
Yep, i automatically looked a little closer to Aria's finger and thought OH CRAP SHE"S BEEN BIT! So, i ran to my Surgeon/neighbors home and I  was advised to call 911! So, i did and as i got off the phone with the lady, Aria stopped crying? WHat? Maybe she didn't get bit! So, i
 called 911 back and told them i was probably a false alarm since the scerpie was practically dead anyways when i found him( of course it's a male bug:)!
But, the lady said they were already on their way and it was FREE for them to analyze her and unless she needed to be wheeled off there was no charge. So, i said, okay, sure! So in came the men and we had a photo session. 
Of course Aria was fine and just as happy as pie! She won over the hearts of these guys and I'm so glad I was wrong. 

Anywho, i forgot about doing a Poll for my hairstyle. I already got it done. I got coppery/red and honey highlights and a new cut! I love my colors so much and my cut is cool for now. I just keep wanting to cut it shorter. But, i probably won't.
Anywho, I'll post pics of my hair later! 
Oh yeah, last week, i made about 6 custom bracelets and 8 flower clips and this week I'm filling a few wholesale orders so, i will continue to be busy!
I had a great weekend though. i'll post on that later!

Here it goes! Fallon post 1



So, i will have many posts on my trip to fallon and you are free to roam my other two blogs to see more of what i was doing up there! But One really neat thing happened. My brother, Brad turned 25! Yep, I'm 26 and he's 25. My birthday is in January, you do the math. We are close:)
On his birthday we went to church, went to the Grastiet's home for one last party and then came back to mom and Carl's and Tirza and I made him a delicious Reese's Peanut Butter Dream Cake! It was HEAVEN! If you like peanut butter and chocolate, you'll love this! If you are interested you can call me and I'll give you the 411 on it! It's way more simple than you'd think.

Anywho, in me being SLOW, i for got to tell Everyone something!

Yep, She started walking almost a month ago and she's starting to walk really fast now! She often falls on her bum and her face looks like this!
It's like she's saying" how'd i get here again? I was just up walking and now I'm back here already!"We also got to spend lots of time with our little nephew Owen! He's so adorable and he got the nick name BamBam while he was with us. He likes jumping off things just being a boy! Him and Brielle played pretty well. More on that Later!

Brielle was alseep in the car( doors were open and she was safe!) during the whole party at the Grastiet's so she's not pictured. Sorry Big Brielle Fans. But, there's plenty pics of her to come! More later!

For some good news!


My new phone is good and I love VERIZON! I've been happy with the service since i had it! (brandon takes care of the bills and most of the CS stuff so, maybe that's why I'm so happy:) So, if you are in my network call me all the time.

Also, We have lots of interest for Daisy and not so much for Myla but, we will see what tomorrow brings and it's the last day the ad runs for them.

We took advantage of the $12. and $7.00 jeans sale at OLD NAVY and I got two pairs of new jeans! And guess what??? I fit a size 6 quite nicely now! I was freaking out. i haven't been this small since like the 2nd year of our marriage!!!

My tooth is feeling lots better! And both the girls are sleeping peacefully. So, though it has been a long day, filled with ups and downs, we always come out on top, Happy and Healthy! (and a bit skinnier every day.) I'm seriously sticking with this triathalon training!

I lost MY PHONE!

Okay so, i've had it for almost 3 years. I was really careful with it while i had it. i barely took off the protective case and the plastic liner over the screen like last january. But, somehow, I lost it. So, i no longer have anyone's information so shoot me an email corrine.ccbabyinc@gmail.com or call me so, i can re-program you into my new phone. 
Other than that, i had a great 11 mile bike ride this morning, much of it was uphill this time followed by a root canal at 9 am. 

On another note, we are trying to find good homes for both of our doggies! Yep, it's a sad reality but. We just aren't being very good dog parents to them. I never walk them or take them to the park. They deserve to be appreciated and cared for more and with 2 kids, multiple business ventures and someday wanting to have another baby, they are just not fitting in with our lifestyle. They need good new owners! That's just it! I already cried about this b/c part of me feels like a big failure but, at least I'm mature enough to admit that they deserve better homes.
Here's a couple pics of them if anyone is interested!
The Boxer is Daisy!
She's obviously Myla!
Both are pure bred dogs! 

Well, that's all for now, my half botoxed-numbness is starting to wear off from my wonderful 2 hours in the chair so, i better go. Oh, i got to watch a movie with a headset while i got my tooth worked on! It was very nice! If you live in GV or Henderson, Go to Gubler Dental! They rock. Tell them I sent You!

Little known facts!

I have decided that from time to time i will do posts called " Little known Facts" about my girls or my life.  It's just a fun way for you all to get to know us better!

This one is all about ARIA...


Aria LOVES Baby wipes! She will walk around holding one for as long as she can, until it's totally nasty. When i take it away she screams in high tones and sometimes cries like she just broke something. It's sad! Maybe i should just keep them out of her reach. But, how would i keep her occupied when i'm changing her diaper? I give her toys but she goes straight for the wipes container until she gets at least one.  Silly baby!

A little change...

Will do me good.

So, as you know, i have lost a lot of lbs. and last week Brandon came home and gave me a few hundred dollars and said" you need to get yourself some clothes that fit!" What a treat! i couldn't have asked for a nicer husband. He has been such a trooper with this and has really let me do my own thing. Never criticizing or REmInDing me to get to the gym. I just did it anyways.
So, i got some new jeans and skirts and tops( bla bla) and now I want to do something with my hair. i was thinking about adding some copperry bronzy highlights (not blonde). I have also been thinking about doing it in a cute cut. i am just not sure exactly where I want to go in the Hairdo dept.
So, my cousin Crystal, did this poll on if she should cut her hair or not. I think it was a great idea. her reaction was great. so, I think I'll take a pic of my current hair and put up a poll and you all can tell me what you'd lie to see. It will be up soon ( within the next week.) Have any ideas? Leave a comment!

Our Littlest Cupcake is ONE!

These are some of my favorite pics of my baby as she has grown this past year. I started writing this post before her b-day and i finally have a bit of time to finish it. Enjoy!

nordstrom fashion show
Easter o8
Aria was born on July 24th of '07 . My labor was great and under 4.5 hours. Brandon said that when he looked at her_ she's an ARIA. B/c we were deciding between Layla and Aria.
And she truly is. Her names is Italian in origin and means a Solo Melody , usually in an Italian Opera. It also means "Lion" and both fit her very well.
She sings itty songs all the time and she squeals with excitement in octaves I've never even heard.
Just a few days ago we were in Trader Joes and Aria got a balloon from the lady and she squealed so loud everyone's ears were pierced by the sound of her glee.

She has been such a great baby and so different from Brielle. i am glad they are so unique and so special i their own ways.



Aria loves banging on anything that makes a noise, singing songs, squealing, playing with the doggies, playing with Brielle and her family, pushing chairs or her car around, eating anything off the floor, waving a baby wipe like a scarf, sucking her thumb, and waving her arms like a maestro.

She says baba, daddy, doggie, puppy, mama, mommy, nana, uh oh, nu huh, nigh nigh and is working on more. She loves climbing the stairs and she has taken about 3-4 steps at a time walking. And i'm glad she's not rushing it. They all grow up too fast.

She's so much fun and when she goes to bed i still get the urge to wake her up so we cn play again or just so i can hold her and cuddle. She's a major cuddle bug and will even cuddle on your leg, a soft toy, a blankie, anything. It's so cute.


We've enjoyed this first year with our little tiny bits, sugar baby, pickle, peanut, snuggle bug, sugies( shu- gees) and all the other multitude of nick name we give her. She makes me so happy to want to have another baby. ( no, that's not news) She has blessed our lives in so many other ways it's hard to name them all.

WE Love You Baby Girl!
Love Mommy, Daddy and Brielle

Our Pediped MODEL!

Hey Gang, So Brielle is on the site now! click here to see her! i actually think it's not that great of a picture from a photography standpoint but, she still does the job well. i like this pic better!I wish they would have done outdoor/ natural lighting with this group as they did with another group. The pics would have been way better! Anywho, i can't change that now.

2.5 years and already a DIVA!

So, every morning upon waking up Brielle says something very straight to the point. Sometimes she says things like, I had a long long nap mommy, or I peed in my diaper and it's over there. She has also let us know what she wants in these waking moments with things like My tummy says it needs lotsa lotsa dinner now, or My tummy hurts mommy. A candy will make it feel better. 
Yeah, so, it's really cute. 
Today, though she was still lying in her bed when i opened her door and she said as her opening line" I NEED my PRINCESS CROWN, Mommy!"

Good morning to you too, Brielle!
