I have been trying to post these pictures for several days and the blogger on my phone was just not liking these pictures, so I apologize for no posts for a little while.  We spent the last several days in Disneyland!!!  So we have lots of fun pictures coming.

In the meantime . . .

Audra got a new headband at the Vintage Market!!  How cute is this!
We made pumpkin muffins this week, and they were quite yummy!  And Audra was quite excited abou them.
Gavin also dug right in!  We love our pumpkin.
Audra is finally able to get some of her hair into a clip!  However, now the trick is to get her to let it stay!
Gavin enjoyed taking lots of lovely pictures of himself.
And on Friday we were able to go to the Diamondbacks game!  It was a great game, I'm so glad we were able to be there.  The Dbacks won and this game determined if they made it to the playoffs!!!  Yeah!  It was quite an exciting game!






We bought Gavin and Audra the red helmet, full of popcorn!  They were quite content to sit and watch the game once they had their popcorn. 


Look at those happy faces!!!


And we rode the train to the game, which is always an exciting thing for Gavin!
And stay tuned for lots of pictures of Disneyland this week!

the Vintage Market

Well the last couple weeks have been a little crazy around here.  As some of you know, two of my girlfriends and I started the Junk in the Trunk Trio.  We had this vision of a fun community of people like us who love all things rusty and chippy and old and just being creative.  So we created a the Vintage Market where people like us could sell their items.  We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into really.  We have had a lot of fun, but it has been a lot of work.  And now after having our first sale, well, lets just say it was quite crazy and has blown up so quickly into something we thought was maybe a far off dream.  With a very special thanks to Kevin who has been the most amazing supportive husband and basically the ceo of this whole business process and the person who really made it all happen for us. 

So here are some pictures from the last couple days.  The husbands went to each of our houses and loaded up all our junk to bring to the sale and unloaded an the entire thing in the middle of the night!  What amazingly wonderfuly husbands we have!  We filled a 26ft uhaul trailer, pretty crazy.  I have to say, I had the least amount of items.  And my children were quite the amazing troopers, they were at the house where we held the sale 2 nights in a row, till way past their bedtime while we set everything up.
Here's the Junk in the Trunkers!
This is our booth!  Finally all set up.





And here are a few pictures of some of the other booths.







We had 25 amazing vendors at this sale.  We would have never been able to pull off the sale without them and the help of Coley's whole family, amazing Mandy, and our wonderful husbands.  The Vintage Market itself was quite crazy, we had an amazing turnout.  Somehow the sale ended up on the front page of the "Home" section of the AZ Republic.  Needless to say we had an amazing turnout and over $10 thousand of total sales.  Its just crazy to think about it.  And I spoke with a guy from ABC channel 15 and he wants us to come on the local morning show Sonoran Living Live!  Pretty crazy.  Who would have ever thought.  You can check out our blog at junkinthetrunktrio.blogspot.com, there are some more pictures there.  We are quite excited for the next Vintage Market coming up in November.  And that is a little look at what we have been doing!

You can check out some other pictures that a few of our vendors took from the Vintage Market using the links I provided below.

So I am a little behind on posting my pictures from the week, from last week.  I apologize, this week and last week have been a little crazy getting ready for the Vintage Market.  It's this Saturday and we are quite excited, but it has been keeping us quite busy.

Anyways here are the pictures I know you have all been waiting for.

I have to say this is one of my favorite pictures of Audra.  She looks so beautiful (I know I'm biased) with those perfect little lips!  I told daddy he's in trouble with those lips!
 Snuggles with Daddy!
 Last weekend the kiddos were invited to a birthday party at an indorr gym.  They had a lot of fun!


 And of course there was lots of good food!
 And Audra loved the cupcakes!


And when they were leaving they also got cake pops!  Audra made sure she got her fair share.  I think she had at least 2, before mommy found out and stopped her from having more.
 Then we came home and had Chipotle for dinner.  Kevin didn't quite finish his burrito and had to help someone outside . . . . . And came back to this.  Audra had finished his burrito.  Apparently she didn't get enough food at the party.
After church they were giving away tootsie pops!  Gavin made quite a mess.  He had chunks of lollipop all over his face, it was green so its kind of hard to see.  But if you look closely he has a couple big chunks on his cheek.
Audra also thought the tootsie pop was wonderful.  Hers was blue, can you tell?

 On Monday we took the kids to play at the park and the splashpad.  It was a special treat because Daddy got to go with us.




 And he took Audra down the slide.  She was quite excited.



And this week, Gavin apparently discovered how to take pictures on my phone.  I had about 30 pictures of Gavin's face.  Like this . . .
 And some of this . . .
 And a little of this . . .
Funny kids!
