Posts Tagged ‘Trucker Lid’

Sometimes after folks buy Lids they send me pictures of their adorable kiddos in wearing them (or post them up on our Facebook page).

I love it.

Like really LOVE it.

Because I really think people who buy Lids are my friends.

Is that weird??

Anyway, each Sunday I’m going to feature one of the Kids in Lids pictures sent to me!

Meet Ethan! He’s 4 years old and his mom says he never takes his Trucker Lid off!

It survives tennis lessons. And his baby sister!!

But Ethan always gets it back in the end!

We REALLY do wear our Lids all the time around here, and of course I’m always snapping pictures. Somehow they just don’t make it to the blog… till now! We’ve added Lid-Tastic Tuesday! Most Tuesdays we’ll do a flashback post of pictures I never got to put on the blog.

Flashing back to August 2010!

Cy was just a floppy 2 month old, and my mommy friends and I met at the Orange County Zoo for a picnic.

(Boys brought us a dead lizard)

Cora Jane was rocking the dirt… and her Trucker Lid!

Thanks for flashing back with me!

I love linking up with Life Rearranged’s InstaFriday. But things happen and I don’t get to do it every week… or even always on Friday (ahem!). But I just love love love to document my phone pictures so I’m posting today! (Don’t you love your phone pix too? We have our phones on us all the time and catch the cutest moments!)

Good Morning 37.5 weeks. (Tomorrow I’m 40 weeks… gotta take a pic!)

Eli had his 5th Birthday Pirate Party. I made bday tees for the boys (maybe a preview of a new Eli’s Lids tee?!?!?) and we had a blast that HOT day at the park!

On the actual birth day we have some fun traditions. The kiddos’ fave is getting candles and the birthday song with every meal.

Never left in the dust, our lil’ princess wanted to wear her dress-up stuff to Souplantation.

And we let her.

You’re only 3 once!

I made coming home tees for the kiddos.

You better believe we are all coordinating for that 10 minute car ride and the 1,582 pictures!

I found it pretty hard to find big bro tees for boys that aren’t lame (i.e. I’m not even a fan of the word bro…) and I wanted something a little more custom. (i.e. Eli is a big brother of 3 lil’ ones and Cy is a little brother as well as a big brother…)

How do you think the boy ones turned out?

Would you be (or do you think people would be) interested in custom “big brother” tees?

Eli’s says “BIG Brother (times 3)” and Cy’s says Little “Big Brother.”

For Blackout 2011 we met some friends for pizza and Dippin’ Dots. Their lil’ guy was wearing his Lid and it looked awesome!

I’m so thankful for every Lid we sell.

REALLY!

Thanks for reading my blog and liking my Lids.

REALLY!

Cora Jane was tongue tied.

3 minutes with a laser and now she isn’t.

Some everyday moments I don’t want to forget.

Waking up from naps.

Falling asleep while having lunch at “Daddy’s Work.”

Movie night while Hot Hubby took Eli on a guys night out.

Reading.

Our 1st Annual Back to School Feast was awesome.

I’m proud of how it turned out so you should read the post and copy everything!!

My friend Kyla (Funky Polkadot Giraffe) hosted a craft night with Jaime (Polkadots on Parade), Nicole (Olive Blue) and me (Eli’s Lids) – I got to organize the crafties. These were my favorite! Tutorial coming soon!

Cora Jane was playing pet shop on my belly and the new baby kept kicking the animals down.

It was very Alien-ish.

AND did you know it’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day?

(I didn’t until my friend Korie let me in on the secret.) Here is Eli teaching Cy how to use a pirate hook. A very necessary skill in our home.

While it is quite fun, don’t you think it’s incredibly ridiculous we have International Talk Like a Pirate Day?? How about Give up your Starbucks and Donate to a Charity Day or Turn Off your TV and Read to your Kiddo Day or Bake Cookies for your Neighbor Day or Take a Walk without your Cell Phone to your Ear Day or… I could go on and on…

What’s a Day you would want the world to celebrate??

The kiddos did great on the flight. Cyrus slept like… well… a baby, snuggled up in my baby wrap from Stringbean Company. The big kiddos watched a DVD on the laptop and colored. Mom Tip: Pack new stickers (and lots of them!) so the kiddos will be occupied. DON’T pack markers. Opt for crayons instead so stray lines won’t end up on seats or fellow passengers!

 We booked adjoining rooms with my parents at the hotel.

Praise the LORD they always adhere to our strict rules…  

Within minutes of being in the room Eli found a toy car the previous tenant left in the room.  It was the hot ticket toy the whole week!

 All the gals from the wedding party got our nails done together. I thought it would be special for Cora Jane to get her nails done for the first time with all her “Aunties” (actually 2nd cousins, but Auntie is just so cute coming out of her little mouth!).

The pedicurist couldn’t stop raving about how awesome my cousin’s feet were. Then there was my gal, who was getting an arm workout scrubbing out all the cracks on mine. Any tips for keeping heels silky smooth?? I never had this problem till I became a mom…

Bedtime came along, – Cora Jane insisted on sleeping in her Lid.

Maybe I should market it as a nightcap… We created a makeshift bed for Cy. He didn’t need much… I mean he was only 4 weeks old!

 But isn’t his Trucker Lid adorable??

(more wordless Wednesday head on over to Angry Julie and 5 minutes for mom)
