Sorry

I have been seriously been lacking in keeping up with this blog lately. Things have been crazy lately. I have been working a lot lately and haven't had time to keep up on everything.

I have, however, been crafty this month. I haven't taken any pictures yet, but I made an adorable skirt for J. I was inspired by the wonderful blog from Filth Wizardry. She posted a wonderful tutorial on how to make a child's skirt from a tea towel. I found a really cute one from the Dollar Store and tried it. I was very pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out. I will take pictures soon, I promise.

I have also made some adorable personalized burp cloths for my sister and sister-in-law. I once again did not take any pictures. I have been told that my sister will take some for me. Which I will post as soon as I get them. I was inspired by another wonderful blog from Mod Girl.

Easter fun

This post is a little over due. We had a wonderful Easter with all of our friends. We went over to my friend Amy's house for an Easter brunch and egg hunt. We had the best time. There was Amy, her husband Perry and their 4 kids. Shannon, her husband Justin and their 4 kids. Robin, her husband Jim and their 4 kids. Dave, his wife Kim had to work and their 3 kids. B & I and our 3 kids. Needlessly to say there were 9 adults and 18 kids. We had the best time.

I thought I would share a few pictures.




I also took family pictures of (almost) everyone. I thought I would share.


Us


Dave & kids


Amy & family


Shannon & family

I thought I would also include a few picture of the kids after the hunt and going thought their loot. I don't have any pictures because I was taking video and I haven't figured out how to upload video on here yet. If anyone out there can give me some advise on this subject I would appreciate it.

Ups & Downs

We have had some ups and downs these last two weeks.

We have had a few issues to resolve and a few really fun things happen.

No matter what, it just reassures me how much I love my family and how lucky I am to have them love me right back.

I don't have any new pictures to share, so I thought I would add some really old ones. I hope you enjoy. Please feel free to comment.












I hope you enjoy.

Parties,parties & more parties

We seem to have birthday parties to go to at least every other weekend. This weekend we went to a Star Wars themed party. The kids had a great time. The parents went all out! Our friends Perry & Justin were up for days making all of the decorations.

They made an R2D2 with realistic sounds



They made droids with motion and sound



They even wore authentic costumes





They even went as far as to make costumes for all of the kids. They made armor for their arms and legs and every child had a mask which made them all look amazing!







They also made a (almost) life sized sand tank kind of thing. I'm not really into Star Wars, but this was impressive.






I wish my pictures could have come out better.

Busy, busy, busy

Things have been so busy lately I haven't had time to post in a while. I haven't forgotten about my wonderful little blog. I just have been so busy. We are looking into finally buying a house. This process is very time consuming and work has been crazy. I will post again (with pictures) when things calm down some.

Friends are like Family

We have a wonderful group of friends that we consider family. We are very close with all of them. We have been friends with them for a very, very long time. Our children are more than friends, they are family. We all treat each others children as if they were our own. We love them the same, we discipline them the same. We go to each others events. We are there for each other more than words can express.



Last night we had a get together and got to hang out with all of them. I love them so much and am so lucky to have them in my lives. Thank you guys for always being there for me. I love you!!

Birthday Party Sunday

On Sunday we had 2 birthday parties to attend. Unfortunatly they were at the same time.

J was invited to a classmates party and Big E & Little E were invited to a party for one of our best friends.

J was so excited to go to her classmates party so we opted to do both.

Ben took the boys to our friends house and I took J to her party. We only have one camera so it went with me. I got some really cute pictures of her and her friends.





The party was at a gymnastics gym. They all had such a good time. The party was so well organized. I think we might have Little E's party there this year.
