Working on it...

I've been trying to get everything ready for the new baby this past week. Making changing pad covers, burp cloths, crib skirts, etc. It's been fun, but tiring. I think this baby has sucked all the energy out of my body! I don't have long now--and the thought scares me! three boys! What will I do? I guess I better start learning to make machine gun noises!

I have a fun announcement.... I've been asked to join the Pixie Dust Paperie design team. And I'm thrilled to be working with them and their wonderful kits! Here's a couple of the projects I've made with the february kit:

Have a wonderful day!

Gone Fishin'

Landen pulled out his new fishing game from Christmas that we haven't had a chance to play with yet. Brandon found the batteries and we got to playing! This morning that was the first thing Landen wanted to do--go fishing.

Have a wonderful day!

To do... to do...

As much as I love my to do lists I would love to have a day to just lay in bed! I didn't sleep very well last night... and I'm most definitely feeling it today! yet there is so much to do.... I guess I better get going and I can go to bed early tonight! Maybe a shower will wake me up... that's right, I'm still in my pj's!

Just a couple layouts to share today from the Designer Garden over at Two Peas in a Bucket:

And my picture from  yesterday---this is what happens when you try to use the self timer--you cut off your own head! But I still love it!

Have a great day--stay in your pj's if you can! ;)

It's friday!!!

Always a reason to celebrate!!

I love spending time with my hubby and I'm so happy when the weekend comes and we get to hang out together. Even if it's just sitting on the couch with the boys. At least we're together. This weekend we're going to be busy painting the baby's room, putting together the new crib, and hanging the window treatments. I'm making some curtains for his room today. I'm also making crib sheets, crib skirt, and everything else that's going in his room! I'm so excited to see how it all turns out!

Here's some projects I did for the two peas designer garden:

 

And one of my frame of the days: Landen loves his new batman costume. He always asks me ," Do you want me to be mean batman or nice batman?" I always choose nice batman because he gives the best superhero kisses!!

and for fun... how cool would it be to make this little hideout for you and your sweetie?? Sooo tempted!

Have a fantastic day!

Watch out for Shredder!

My boys have INSISTED that they watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles over and over and over again. And we only own two of the cartoons! I have the stupid theme song stuck in my head-and it's not even the cool old one. The new ninja turtles has a horrible theme song and the turtles eyes are creepy--they are just white. weird. I want my old turtles back!!

As promised.... a short post! lol here's a card I made the other day... I'm simply LOVING my Silhouette! Look at that cute wreath!

And my frame of the day from last week... BYU game! Go cougs!

Have a fantastic day!

small posts...

I get myself all worked up over posting on my blog. For some reason I have it in my head that it needs to be written perfectly and have wonderful photos to share. I need to do better--I'm going to start doing one small post a day!


On monday I started Karen Russell's photography class--totally loving it! I really want to be able to get candids of my boys--good ones where they aren't goofing off or running away from me! haha So hopefully you'll see more family photos on here!

I got the chance to play with my Core'dination's paper this past week--here's some of my feb. projects.

They have some fun new papers coming out--I can't wait to hold them in person and play!

and my frame of the day:

this one was taken a couple days ago--just love that little bum! he wouldn't brush his teeth with pants or underwear before bed!

Put a little love in your heart...

Have you been getting ready for valentine's day yet? Logan just picked out his sweet G-Force valentines! I'm getting excited! We get the kids a little basket full of goodies and I decorate the house up! So fun! This year I think we might buy them Guardians of Gahoole. We watched it the other night and the boys loved it! I even have some fun heart shaped baskets that we fill up with candy! So in honor of valentine's day... here's a little card I made to get me in the mood. I'm listing it on Etsy if you're interested!

 And here's a page I made for Two Peas about our Christmas picture:

Hope you have a great day!
