Little Man... this is him folding his arms for the prayer. He tucks his hands under his chin and squints his eyes. So stinking cute


01-25-10
This makes me happy



01-26-10
Family Home Evening... on money and budgeting. This really helped the kids understand why we don't get them everything they want.


01-27-10
Sickies... I hate cold and flu season


01-28-10
Kids are still fighting the sickness and stuck to the couch today so we had a Star Wars marathon.

This has been on for 3 straight days. Its nice because Vicks Vapor liquid can be added to it and it seems to really help the kids' breathing

Another trip to the house today. Taking measurements and making plans.


01-31-10

Inspection day today... finally. All went well and we are now step closer to having a home of our own. (this is the back view of the house)

02-11-10

This is what we made for the kids to take to their classmates for their Valentines party. I was just going to do the easy thing and get candy/cards form Walmart, but holy cow it was going to be pricy. More expensive then a 2$ box of rice crispies anyway.

02-10-10

A new project. Can't say what it is yet. I need more yarn. :)

02-09-10

We got heart attacked! We opened the door to find this. They kids loved it, although we still don't know who did it.

Just finished Lydia's Baby Shower by mail invitations. I think they turned out pretty cute. :)

Little Man got a hair cut today. It made me so sad, but it was getting out of control. He looks so grown up now. :(

02-06-10

The never ending entertainment of the rock pile. Still cold outside and we are still fighting stuffy noses.

02-05-10

A couch full of girls. Our friends the Chandlers took one last Temple trip before their 5th baby is due. We got to watch the girls. Tes was in heaven.

02-04-10

A thrift store find. I have been looking for a punch bowl for awhile now so I was very excited to find this.

02-03-10

Braydan's little friend Kolby, gave him this cowboy hat and he has been wearing it and his cowboy boots almost everyday to school. He says that they play cowboy games at recess so he needs to wear it.

02-02-10

My morning routine includes making up lunches. Sometimes, (like today) Vann will see me doing this and bring me the Buzz Lightyear lunch pail so that I will make him a lunch as well. The only problem is that he usually wants to eat it right then.

02-01-10

Tes was "Valentine of the Day" today. She was so happy about it. She brought home a little book that had a little note from all of her classmates telling her what they like best about her.

01-23-10

We left the kids with some friends so that we could go up to Medford to get all the paperwork signed for the house. We are keeping our fingers crossed that everything goes well. Very stressful. (also pictured: James our Mortgage Broker)

I have started some sewing projects for the friends and a sister in law who are either expecting or have just had little ones. I enjoy sewing, I need to do it more often.

Vann the Man. Loves going "byebye". And loves Lighting McQueen.

One of my goals for this year is to remain in control of the housework. Flylady.com has been a big help in helping me do this by using small steps. And look at my shiny sink!

Today they played happily in their rooms together. No fighting. Today was a good day.
