birthday tea party

On friday navy and i went to her friend katie's birthday party. It was a dress up "tea party" and it was so cute and fun. all the little girls and even some mom's dressed up in their girliest dresses, had lunch, made hat's and played a little dress up. navy was in heaven.

so i always think that i am going to get better at keeping this updated but it never happens. so i guess you'll just have to take what you can get. we have been busy the last couple of months. the big highlight was going to my parents house for a few weeks while they were on a cuise to alaska. teija was there with us, the weather was perfect and we played outside almost the whole time. life is good. we then housesat for some kinda relatives (my brother in law alex's in laws). that was so fun cuz they have a few young kids that navy loves.  i pretty much never say her cuz she was so busy playing. now we are back at home just getting back in the groove of things and loving life in long beach. 

so brian has been drawing a lot lately for shirts he is designing for other bands (his graphic design is now our only source of income and it is working surprising well.) so navy loves to draw now too and always says she is making a shirt like daddy. usually her drawing of shirts turns into drawing on herself so today brian decided to go along with her and he did his own little drawing and this is what we got. she has become quite the model latley since i have been watching america's next top model. she constatly tells me "i'm a model. take my picture!" and proceeds to strike all sorts of modelesque poses. she cracks me up!

Easter!

Happy easter everyone!! so it has been awhile since i have updated but we have been pretty busy. after living in sally and shane's living room for over a month (thanks so much guys!) we finally got a place of our own and i love it!! it is a small studio apartment in Long Beach! we are only a couple blocks from the beach! the apartment is old but cute! and little by little it is becoming more like home!

so today navy and i went to a park in huntington beach for some easter festivities! we had so much fun. they had a candy hunt, games, face painting, and of course it was at a park so we spent some time on the slides and swings. navy loved it and hasn't stopped talking about it.

life is good :)

Top Model

so last night (at like 11:30 pm) navy got all dressed up in this outfit. i thought she was cute so i pulled out the camera and took like 20 pictures of her and she just kept posing. everytime i would take one she would change her pose. i swear she thought was in a photoshoot for Vogue magazine! she is such a ham! i couldn't get her to smile cuz i think she thinks models don't smile. i don't know where she comes from. i don't think i have ever even watched  a model show with her but we do look at magazines! she is so much fun! i love this girl. she is growing up way too fast though. where'd my baby go? 

an up and coming star!

well navy sure was she was looking pretty good! haha! can you belieave her poses! so the other night we went to a Robyn show (which was really good and if you don't know who she is you should definitey check her out. she was nominated for a grammy this year for new artist but didn't win) and this is what brian dressed her in. she is wearing the cutest little michael jackson shirt that says beat it. anyways. while we there navy was being her cute, funny, smart self and while i was looking at a magazine she turns to me and says "mommy i need a magazine." well there just happened to be a talent scout there and heard navy talkng to me who came up to me and says "this girl needs to be a star." and i was like "your right!" and the next thing you know we are setting up a time to meet for an interview with a hollywood management agency. we'll go in on saturday to see what the deal is but they are already talking pictures and acting classes and the works. it could be a scam but it could be legit. it doesn't hurt to look into it though. i have always thought she had star potential but i thought i was just biased but she does talk REALLY well and clearly for her age so who knows! i'll keep you posted!
