Craft

So I am not crafty at all! My mother in law and sister in law Carin on the other hand are the Queens of crafts and being so creative, seriously. Anytime I go over to Carins she has made something new that is so cool and I wish I could totally do it. A couple weeks ago I went to the fabric store with them for fun and asked them how hard a skirt would be to make. They said it wouldn't be too hard and my mother in law offered to help! So I bought some fabric and made me a skirt with a lot of help from my mother in law. It took a couple days only because we needed more fabric the size chart was very off. Lets say by 10 sizes off. I needed to act like I was a size 16. But we got it all done and I am excited. I really enjoyed sewing, I want to make another skirt. We got the fabric for like 8 dollars and just some time! Totally cheap skirt!

Who Said?

Who said that boys clothes aren't fun to shop for like girls? I love shopping for Weston, it is so fun and they really have such cute clothes, shoes and hats for boys these days. By the way do you see Weston forehead? Every morning we wake up to a new scratches. We trim his nails so I don't know how he manages to do it. It looks pretty painful!

Blogging

So I have mixed feelings about blogging. I absolutely love to see what is going on in everyone's lives! Its so fun. It's nice to know what's going on and see pictures of my extended family who live in different parts of the US and even my good friends that live close by. Life gets crazy it's fabulous to keep in touch in a convenient way. I also love seeing a different side of things in writing you wouldn't see otherwise-maybe a funny story or confession. It is a nice outlet; a time to express yourself!
On the same note, I feel as blogging has become the newest facade; the perfect way to show the perfect you. Sparkling home, newest craft project, a way to brag about your perfect husband, children, family, vacations, new items, etc. I know I post all of these things too, but I am hesitant every time for this very reason. I tend to get really excited about new things and I know that I can sometimes come off as bragging-PLEASE know that is never my intent.
Does anyone else feel that same way? Or am I the only one?

Ninja

So this Ninja 1100 blender is supposed to replace a mixer, blender, food proccesor and juicer! We got one for our anniversary and can't wait to try it. I don't know if any of you have see the infomercials on this but it seems pretty dang cool. You can put carrots, peppers, fruit into and it just blends it so perfectly (and also tastes great too?) you can also make cookie dough, pizza dough and whatever you want! Lets hope it doesn't dissapoint us!

Weekend..FUN

I CAN'T sleep!! So I decided to blog about our fun weekend! We went up to SLC this weekend not like we live that far from SLC...Friday we went to the jazz game with some good friends Janne, Dallas, Rachel and Austin! It was lots of fun and it has been such a long time since I have gone to a game! Dallas knows a ball boy so he got a FREE tickets on the 16 the row on the lower bowl section right behind the players! It was pretty sweet and so fun to be close. The Jazz won as well so that made it even more fun! Thanks to Janee and Dallas for inviting us!
Me and Janes!

UPDATE on my sweet little WES! He is getting so big! I just love him! He is now rolling over and so it begins! They grow so fast! He is so HAPPY!! He just smiles smiles smiles all day long, I am not kidding. He is 16 pounds and 4 months old. He drools constantly and loves to have his fist in his mouth 24-7! He loves bath time every night and goes right to bed after his bath! He sleeps anywhere from 7-10 hrs right now. That could all change in a night but we will take it! A year ago this time I found out I was pregnant with him and I was so shocked I cried and was upset about it all. We were trying to prevent children...Now that I have this little man I couldn't picture my life without him! He is my life!! I love you baby WES!

My little Sister Brianna Maire turned 14 on the 13th! She is such a sweet good girl and I love her. On saturday we had a family birhtday party in the morning (didn't get any pics) and later that night she had invited friends to come over. While my parents bowled at their bowling league I watched these teenagers for a bit! Brianna said only 10 were coming but then they just kept coming and there ended up being like 20 or more 14 year olds running around! Goodness!!! Thats all I will say! Wes stay little for longer please!
Brianna is on the bottom right! Here she is with all her girlfriends that came.
Picture of the group...about 10 more showed up after this picture and most of them were boys!!

Later that night as my mother came home to babysit the teenagers we left and met up with good friends Afton and Terry! They had extra tickets for us to go to the car show! It was so fun to be with them! I miss Afton so much and don't get to see her much because she is a busy girl but it was so fun to get in and look at all these expensive cars! Thanks Afton and Terry for inviting us~ It was so fun to be with you guys!
Trying to be cute..

Christmas Time

This holiday season was so fun and filled with lots of food. My mother in law informed us last night that in two weeks she went through almost 11 pounds of butter!! I bet I ate at least a pound or more than that. Christmas Eve we spent with Robby family and it was a lot of fun. We played Bingo and won prizes and then opened our Christmas PJ's. Robby sister Angela and her family were in town and so we decided to stay the night at Robby moms house on Christmas Eve. It was so fun to see Angela and Dan's kids open their gifts and it makes me excited for when little Wes knows what it is about. Christmas day we spent with my family and it was a nice day. Just ate and relaxed!! Love it! Overall it was a great holiday season and school starts tomorrow already :(! Back to reality.
