Pin Up Girl

So I kind of have a little obsession beyond feathers and chandeliers...

Pinup Girls...yep thats right!

I love the '30's and '40's era.

Alot of what I wear reflects that style.

I love the beauty of the pinup girls

and that they are not the typical skinny model you see today!

I am planning on getting a pinup girl tattoo....just not quite sure where and which one yet.

I also plan on doing a pinup girl shoot with Lonestar Pinups or Shoshana Portney....

They do amazing pics!

Now to decide which pinup girl tattoo I want...hmmmmmmm

Catching up

WHEW! Deep breath...ok, the last two weeks have definately been an emotional roller coaster ride! My grandad dying, my cousin having her baby and her son being hospitalized with Pneumonia, and just dealing with everyday life.

Carson is doing better today! Thank Goodness! He was transferred to Medical City of Dallas yesterday afternoon and had a chest tube placed. I spoke with Brooke today and he is feeling better, no fever, and wanting to eat....SUCH GOOD SIGNS!!! THANK YOU JESUS! and finally all of my kiddos are feeling so, so , so much better. (:

On to today....Brian and I were invited to one of our dearest friends wedding shower that we grew up with in church. Niki and I spent a ton of time together during our teenage years and college years.

I wish I could express the sheer joy I have for her! If you don't know Niki's story, please go and read it...her strength, loss, love, and faith will absolutely amaze you. Her book "Facing Terror", is definately a must read that will make your personal faith stronger than ever!

I do own the book and if you would like to borrow it, just let me know....but please take good care of it because it is signed by the author....(;

The Circle of Life

Last week we said goodbye to my Grandad

and

this weekend we said hello to a new family member

Emerson Grace

She is so precious! She weighed a whopping 9 lbs 12 oz!

I am so happy for my sweet cousin!

Welcome to the crazy world of three kids!

Proud Big Sister Olivia

.

She wasn't very happy with me....

Going Home

Little Brother, Carson, recovering from Pneumonia

at the other end of the hospital.

It is amazing how the Circle of Life works!

God blesses us in so many ways!

After losing such a precious life last week,

how blessed to have welcomed this sweet bundle of joy!

Congrats Brooke and Daniel!!!

A Little Late

I know it is a little late,

but I just wanted to share my favorite gift

Brian got me for Valentines Day!

He got me an IPhone 4, but this trumps even that...

This is something that I will always treasure! I LOVE IT!!!!

Of course it is something to do with Twilight...

What can I say? Brian does know me very well!

It is a card...not just a plain old card, but a Twilight card that talks to me!

Everytime I open the card

Edward tells me "I promise to love you every moment of forever"

and

Jacob tells me "I will fight for you until your heart stops beating"...

The front of the card
(Dang Edward...always wanting to sparkle)

I think I will frame it.....oh wait, then I can't open it and hear Edward and Jacob...hmmmm...

Blessings,

MEL

Peace

On Thursday we had Grandads funeral service and it was BEAUTIFUL!

He would have been proud of it! Tim Posey sang beautifully! My cousin, Lauren, read a beautiful letter to my Grandad and there wasn't a dry eye in the chapel by the time she was done.

My Uncle Roy (a.k.a. Bubba) told us great stories about my Grandad....he had us rolling in laughter....I know my Grandad was belting out his contagious laugh in Heaven as well!

Thank you to all of you who came to share in this celebration of his life. It was a celebration indeed. Grandad had so many wonderful friends and such a loving family.

He was truly blessed!

Prior to visitation Wednesday night, the kids wanted to leave a note for Grandad and put it in his casket with him...They were so sweet and I love that they did this.

Katelyn's note Ashleigh's note

David's note

If you knew my Grandad you know how proud he was of his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids and we were just as proud of him!

We know that he is with his beautiful daughters, Carol and Rebecca, that have been waiting a long time for their daddy and they are already watching the horse races!

Win one for me and save me a seat Grandad!

I know my family is at PEACE now with his death. He is no longer suffering with pain and is cancer free. We know he is with the Lord and celebrating!

WE LOVE AND MISS YOU!

Blessings,

MEL

Save A Place For Me Grandad....

Save a Place for me Grandad! My heart is heavy today...One of the greatest men went to the Lord today after his long battle with cancer.

I know you are watching all the horse races already and living it up!

This Matthew West song sums it up!

Partying it up Red

Last night we celebrated Valentines day by going to our first ever "Red Party"! All I can say is we had a freaking blast!!! Yes I said FREAKING! (;

This was the third annual red party...we were invited last year but were unable to attend...after seeing the slide show playing during the party I was bummed because of the HOT bartenders they had last year...WHOA MOMMA!!

The request for the party was that you had to wear red and bring a red dish or dessert...

so FUN!

We did cut out early at midnight due to the fact that I was having ridiculous hot flashes...I wish I was getting flashed in another fun way...but nope only hot flashes...whew...I am surprised my hair didn't turn into flames I was so hot...and I would prefer to be referred to as "HOT" and not how I felt! lol.

I love that we got to dance! Those of you that know me well, know that if there is dance music on I am out there shaking what my momma gave me...I was born to dance and I live for it!

The house that it is held out is AMAZINGLY RIDICULOUS! It is located in Buffalo Creek in Rockwall and is a little over 5000 square feet and all I have to say is that when I grow up I want to live in that house...YES that exact house...I didn't get a pic of the outside but I did get a pic of part of the kitchen...

I bought this at World Market,

and all I can say is YUMMO!

The plain Chocolate one was to die for as well!

Red Balloons Everywhere

Can't wait until next year!

Whats in a name?

Yes, Yes I know, my last name is not the easiest name for some people to say...

T-I-T-S-W-O-R-T-H

and is it weird that I work for an OBGYN and that my father in law, Mr.Titsworth works for asco...yes that is pronounced ASSCO...(:

It isn't like I dreamed as a little girl about having a name like Titsworth as a last name. Right?

I mean...McEntyre, Smith, Lopez, Cullen, Black.....would have been what I dreamed about...

not Titsworth!

I find it funny that after talking to some of my friends and when they saw my last name for the first time they thought it was a typo or misprint. Ha!

Some of my girls past teachers that see my last name is Titsworth, they can't call me "Mrs.Titsworth".

I wish I could count on my fingers how many times someone has asked me,

"Well, are your tits worthy"?

Yes I have been asked that on multiple occasions and I just smile

and politely say

Yes they are...are yours?

Usually gets them every time!

If I didn't love Brian, I mean Mr.Titsworth as much as I do, I wouldn't have changed my last name to Titsworth.

I do hyphenate my last name most days to Lam-Titsworth, since my girls last name remained Lam.

Then you have my best friend Lorina who calls me LamTits...whatever works for ya!

(She just likes to say Tits I think and that's the only way she can get away with it)

David is stuck with the name FOREVER! I hope he finds a beautiful young lady way in the future that doesn't care that his last name is Titsworth.

I love my last name, because it links me to one of the sexiest, sweetest, loving men in the world! My hubby, Mr. Titsworth...I think I will start referring to him as Mr.Titsworth instead of Brian.

Yes I like Mr.Titsworth better for sure!

So with Valentines around the corner...I can't wait to spend it with Mr. Titsworth!

Oh and don't be afraid to call me Mrs.Titsworth, Mrs.T, Mel....as long as it is a nice name...(:

Blessings,

Mel

Welcome Baby Emerson

My cousin, Brooke, who I love to pieces is due with her third baby in a couple of weeks. She is having a girl and they are naming her Emerson Grace. I know she will be the perfect addition to their sweet family. Olivia and Carson will be a great big sister and big brother!

I love that I was able to put her shower together with the help of my sis in law, Jenny. I made sure it was sassy and VERY VERY girly!

What is more sassy and girly than pink and zebra?

Brooke requested a Casa Linda Bakery cake.

It was Yummo!

The mom to be and her hostesses

Big Sister, Olivia, helping mommy

Hugs and Kisses Just to say Thank You for coming Today Goodie Bags
