Day 4

A picture of your favorite night



Noah Collin 12/26/2006



Nicklaus Alan 3/26/2009

Since both of my boys were born while it was still dark out (Noah @ 2:58am and Nickalus @ midnight) I consider them my favorite nights. Yes it was a lot of work, and a long day for both of them; but becoming a mother was the best thing that has ever happened to me. They are my best nights.

I love you boys more than you will ever know. I am so glad that I am your mother. Even on the days that you drive me crazy and give me grey hairs I would not change it for anything! Thank you for being my boys and helping to complete my life.

Day 2

2.A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest

I can't choose just one. I could always just choose my mom; who is one of my best friends. Or Shannon; because she did pray for me to come into her family (be careful for what you pray for!) Devin because she is always there with a listening ear and loves you unconditionally or Mel; because once you share clothes and toilets for years on end (okay it is more of a love/hate but who knows you better than your archenemies?)

My Mom and Sisters are my best friends. I love them with all my heart and know that even though we may not like each other we will always be there for each other. If it is your cat dies, or you have a a baby, decided to abandon your sister and move to Utah we are there for each other no matter what. I can not imagine my life without them and glad that I never have to.

Sister to Sister we will always be... A couple of nuts of the family tree!

30 Day Challenge

So I'm sure many of you have seen the 30 day picture challenge on facebook; I wanted to do the same but on my blog. My blog is something that I will always have, and eventually I want to print it up so that it can REALLY be saved for my children. And I thought that doing this 30 day picture challenge could provide them with such an incite to their mom. And a good way to make me post everyday; AND really think. (They have some good ideas for pictures. So here we go!

1 Bucket List Goal down!

So when I was about 8 or 9 years old my mom taught me how to crochet. I have gone back and forth for many years crocheting. I will make a couple of wash cloths, or a scarf and be done or a couple more years. Then after I had Noah it graduated to crocheting the edges of blankets. But I have NEVER taken the time to learn how to read a crochet pattern.
I have finally done it! My first one was a earwarmer headband from my friends crocheting company called Polka Dot Posh. Cassi has some of the cutest hats, diaper covers, shoes, and baby photo props that I have ever seen.

I technically can't say that one is complete because I still have to sew on a button before it can be worn. But I can say I finished this one! I saw on a crafting website somewhere a lady made a Jack Skellington (Nightmare Before Christmas) hat and I knew my boys and husband would love to have one. So I found a basic pattern for a fitted hat and then crocheted eyes and sticked on his nose and mouth. I love it and Nick has yet to take it off since I put it one him. It is a little tight on his head, but my kids have big heads. Most toddler heads I think it would be great on! Excuse his red eyes and his running nose, he was just crying from being woken up from a nap.

Floor Cushions

So about a week ago Collin and I decided that the boys need a playroom more than he needs an office.
We both were hoping that this might end the toys ending up all over the house (haha- yeah I know).
A couple days after we had rearranged everything I noticed that ALL of my pillows and blankets started disappearing; and would some how reappear in the toy room! (Magic as Noah tells me)
So I thought back to this awesome craft I saw on Living with Punks, making some floor cushions for the wee little ones. So i pulled out that HUGE bolt of fabric from my sisters wedding and got to work.

The boys love them. It has been three days so far and not ONE of my couch cushions has reappeared in the toy room (yet...cross your fingers)

Valentines Door Wreath

I finally have one!  After almost 5 years of being in my own house I finally have a door wreath for each holiday! This wreath cost me less than 5 bucks! What could be better than that! (Free maybe??)

I got the wicker circle and the metallic hearts at the dollar store and the felt hearts in a kit at Joann's that was 3 dollars for 50% off.
