Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

First order of business after Niner finished the semester.. complete our Elvis tree.

A few weeks ago, Raha visited a tenants home and saw a cute Christmas tree decorated with red ornaments and strung with popcorn. She marveled at how cute this simple tree was and asked the little old lady about it. Apparently she was a huge Elvis fan and decided to decorate her tree this way, the same way Elvis did. Niner, being an Elvis fan herself, of course heard about this cute tree. Now, we couldn't find any information online to confirm that this, in fact, was how Elvis decorated his tree. However, also fans of crafty things and playing with food, we agreed that our tree would be as close to an "Elvis tree" as we could make it.

 Our finished Elvis Tree! This was the first time we both had strung popcorn, so it was fun to do. Only thing now is, we have to figure out how to keep Nacho from eating the popcorn. He's already bitten off parts of the bottom strand!

Spring Training

My little family went on vacation this past weekend. Nacho visited his friends at Petsmart and Niner and I went to our third Spring Training in Phoenix. Our first game on Saturday was against the Indians at Goodyear Ballpark. There was a lot of action near the end when the Indians caught up and tied the game. There was a Mister Softee soft serve truck and Niner tried a Guinness Blondie at the beer cart. That is a nice ballpark and we had a cute time. I even got Ethier's autograph on our Cactus League ball.    We had time for a nice hike and dinner after the game. Niner introduced me to Native American fry bread which was delicious. Sunday we started off with a nice brunch at Province downtown. The game was at the Dodgers' (and white Sox) Camelback Ranch. It was a hot, sunny day, but fun nevertheless. It was lovely to get away for the weekend and we did so much! Can't wait for baseball season to start! We got a mini season plan t

50 in Five

We've been busy over here, planning our epic road trip to all 50 states. We are quitting our jobs, packing away our stuff, and leaving in just less than TWO weeks! It's the trip we've always dreamed of. It feels so right.  We asked my cousin at Lizzi Photography to take photos at our favorite local park to document this moment. It's so special because she knows me so well and knew my vision. Plus we've never had engagement photos done. We also used props we love and that have a story: a blanket Nan crocheted Niner, Auntie Cayo's cameras, my vintage suitcase called Bomanicious..      It was hard to choose, but here are some of my faves.    Unfortunately, Nacho will not be joining us on our trip. Lucky for us, Moo has agreed to keep him for the five months; and he will have the best time there with his friend Teddy. Still, he couldn't help but join in on the fun and take photos with us! We are at 50infive.us  if you want to
