SPRING BREAK IS HERE AT LAST!!!

Wow, these last few weeks have been LONG, filled with sick kids, (sick mom), LOTS of Dr. Appointments, learning new tricks, and getting caught up around the house.  I still have a long way to go with organizing my house, (especially because I am EASILY distracted with CRAFTS), but we are MAKING it.

We decided to stay home this year for spring break to work some extra shifts and save a little more money because we are saving so hard for a LARGER vehicle, the Subaru only has enough room for maybe a weekend trip with all the stuff we have to haul for both girls, it's a bit cramped!

Sydney turned 6 months 2 days ago....she's up to 15lbs and in the 25% for her height and weight!! Yeah for her. She continues to be our smile queen and is just SO happy all the time, she has been pro at rolling over for a while now and her main mode of transportation is now scooting (only backwards though).  She is trying SO hard to crawl already too she can get up on all fours but can't seem to move forward, its really fun to watch, she is also becoming a pro at sitting, (only if she wants to, if not she lunges backward)

Kloee is so close to being two, (one more month) her independence is really starting to show, she is repeating just about anything back to us and is mimicking everything we do, Darren and I are quickly realizing how we need to watch everything we do and say because she is WATCHING us! Kloee loves to sing and dance which excites me that she loves music, Growing up it was always a HUGE part of my life so Ive always hope my kids would WANT it to be part of theirs.

Darren has been busy at school, helping with the sick kids and has been going to one Dr appointment after another, still no results of why he has this stomach problem and I think we are starting to think they might not figure it out. We will let you know the results when and if we ever get them, as for now we know pretty much NOTHING!!!

As for me, I keep busy keeping up with the two girls, being the compassionate service leader in my ward, working and WORKING OUT at Anytime fitness (I'm seeing results and I'm FEELING amazing), and of course working on TOP SECRET crafts and some that are not so top secret!

I hope this is a GOOD update of what we are up to.....I know I've been bad a posting lately I feel like I might have just caught up with things around here!!!

For my lovely Kyra....

Well to prolong any cleaning my house is in desperate need of....I made these ties and with the leftover scraps I had enough to make some matching flowers....THANKS Kyra for the opportunity to make these, HOPE the WEDDING turns out great!!

Snow much????

Yep that's how much snow we've gotten this week so far!!! Can't say I'm all that excited about it.....

4 years ago today!!!

Yes, it was 4 years ago today that Darren (THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!!!) put rock on my finger, told me he loved me (for the first time) and asked me to marry him. It was a pretty eventful day in my life and I love thinking back and remembering it. Love you, Darren!

This was the official ring that I did wear for over a month until he could afford the real one, he said it took hom a couple tries to get it out of the $0.25 machine.

 

This is one of the only pictures taken that day!!

I'm at it again....

I've started a new project....(surprise, surprise) and I need LOTS of jeans, I wasn't aware when I started how many I would need so it might be an unrealistic project, but before I give up I was hoping maybe somebody out there is wanting to clean out a closet and ditch their old jeans.....well if your that person let me know....I'll take them off your hands!!!

Catch up mode!

Wow! Ever since Christmas I've been in a serious catch up after the Holiday rut. It's been bad and I finally feel like I'm about to reach the surface. Maybe, just maybe after this week I'll feel like I'm on top again. Any other mothers out there feel like this?  So anyway I apologize for the lack of posts....especially the ones I've promised to people, hopefully in the soon future those will appear. In the mean time Thanks for your patience!
