Coming soon...

Birthday pics, Valentine's pics, updates, updates, updates. It's been a rough couple weeks with the kids having walking pneumonia, EVERYTHING got put on the back-burner. Maybe it can get done tonight. It seems like the more pics I have, the more I procrastinate...

5 Lucky people!

Another fun blog game!

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make! (Though I hope you will!)
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It'll be done this year. {might be a little while}
4. You have no clue what it's going to be. I don't even have a clue what it's going to be.
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win a homemade gift! It may not be great, but it will be fun!!
* * *Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it!* * *

I'm seriously wondering if I will get 5 comments, most of you call or email after you read my blog. So make sure you leave a comment too!! :o)

A really good dance class


3 things I'd love to have:
Lexus RX350, or any SUV really

My own pink MacBook

A gigantic master bathroom


3 books I love to read again and again:
Duh...

The whole series really

Actually I'd like this book to get finished so I could read the whole thing.


3 things I'd love to learn more about:
Building shelves for the garage, basement,...

Cooking

Quick Money Making


It's picture tag, and you all are it! And we all know that family, the gospel, and friends are on the list...those are givens...so you can't use those things!. Let's see what YOU love.

Midnight Entertainment

So the KynnLee girl got a touch of the flu (thank goodness she got a flu shot) and woke up the other night at midnight. I'm SORRY! Call me a MEAN MOM!! I couldn't help it!!! She had a bath before she went to bed and it does magical things to her hair....




If you're going to get up at midnight, might as well enjoy it a little. But no matter how messy her hair is, she's still my gorgeous little princess.

She was back to her mischievous little self today, getting all the toothbrushes and toothpaste out of her favorite drawer, digging out tupperware, cookie cutters, you name it, if it's within reach, she's got it out. And no, I don't enjoy doing her hair every day, not one single bit...



Jaden likes to get Phoebe's leash out and hook it to random things. This is his latest snatch...

He was pulling her around and she was just sitting there looking at a toy in her hand, it was hilarious!! It didn't last long though...

Crazy kids.

Ping-Pong and Applebottom Jeans

Jaden loves to jam to this song in the car. I mean, he makes me turn it up pretty loud. The other day I dropped him off at preschool and KynnLee and I were leaving. This song was on at a normal volume, and KynnLee starts dancing and clicking her tongue!! It was so dang funny! She actually sounded just like it, cracks me up. She has started to really dance to anything that remotely has a tune.

Then as we pull in the driveway, Applebottom Jeans came on the radio. I turned around and started singing and dancing to KynnLee and she just started giggling and dancing with me. I thought it was so funny so I just sat there in the driveway being a total goofball and making her giggle and dance. Then I got out (left the music on) and poked my head in the back door to get the groceries and she was still smiling so I shook my booty and sang a little more to get more giggles. I got out to take the groceries in and looked across the way to see a neighbor a couple lawns over wave at me... I bet that just made his day!

Rainbows and Girlie decor

Jaden loves Pacman. This morning he was holding the disk asking if we could play Pacman.

Then I hear him ask, "Did Heavenly Father make this CD?"

How do I answer that? I'm thinking he is remembering that Heavenly Father made everything. Well, it's a video game, so I decide to reply 'no'. Then he says...

"Then why are there rainbows on the back of it?"

What a sweet little man.


And now for the girlie decor. My awesome friend gave me this adorable sign for KynnLee's room. It was over here on these shelves in the empty spot and I've been meaning to find a better place for it....


I've had all KynnLee's bows hanging on a couple of long ribbons from her closet door. They've been needing a new home as well, but I kind of liked them there because they're easily accessable and I can see all of them at once. So I had a thought and I need your opinion...


Don't be afraid to tell me if it's kinda gawdy (or whatever that word is). I got the crown on the dollar aisle at Target a long time ago, I couldn't pass it up. Comments, comments, comments, PLEASE!

And one last thing. My girlie girl thinks that naps are overrated. She has too much business to attend to, and too much mischief to be had. Since she was only a few weeks old, she's been in love with her swing, and it's been my saving grace. Well, she is outgrowing the swing, and I can't find anymore batteries for it on the dollar aisle at Target (love that, if you can't tell!). She napped ok at my mom's in the crib, in the basement, in a dark room. So I thought what a perfect excuse to make curtains!

I have very poor sewing skills, I mean, I don't even know how to use a pattern. I have never even made anything from a pattern.

She has 2 windows in her room. After several calls to my mom, many of which included pretty dumb questions, this is what I came up with...




It's not the best fabric, but I couldn't complain for less than $2 a yard! I had to get 9 yards, well so I had guessed, I have some leftover. And it DOES make the room darker. I'm still working on the valance, found some really cute fabric! Maybe I'll finally get to that tonight. It's still a work in progress! I can't wait for the final masterpiece to be put in place. ;o)
