Ay, Columbia

Okay, okay.  I totally suck.  It's true, we missed a week.  In my defense, the past two weeks have been very busy for momma Ford.  So, in order to redeem myself and ease the shame I decided I would show you all some of my very valid excuses.

 First, I loaded up my adorable kids and took them to their G.G's house in Tucson where they got to play with their cousins for 3 whole days!

Then I worked a total of 37 hours in 3 days at the salon, oh man my dogs were barking!  Followed by a super fun sleepover/wedding vendors conference in Camp Verde.

 

There was tequila...in LARGE quantities.  Cute cowboy servers, amazing food from Red's in Sedona, beautiful decor, a much needed bloody mary brunch, and a connection that landed me a styling gig for Bridal Magazine!  More on that later...

Then...Kid Rock (and Sheryl Crow..HELLO!)

For those of you who don't know, my mother and husband are huge Kid Rock fans.  Like, HUGE.  My mother even has a Kid Rock tramp stamp that she proudly portraits.  We had such a great time and got to spend time with my other mother, Starla!

Okay, so that doesn't exactly make me sound that busy but I assure you, it totally felt that way. 

Finally, we got to Colombian night.

We had Pimentones Rellenos and Coffee Cake.  Basically, I bought a box of coffee cake mix and used Maxwell House Colombian coffee instead of water.  Points for creativity, right?  We learned that 95% of the worlds emeralds come from Columbia and that Columbia is the worlds third leading producer of women's lingerie.

Lastly,

Zoie has started making this hysterical face.  The first time she did it, Ayden and I were laughing so hard we could barely breathe.  I caught a couple of them on camera and just had to share....enjoy!

See you next week!  I promise!!!
