Lizzie's Motion Picture

When I was uploading some pictures the other day this is what I found on my camera. Who knows when they got a hold of the camera., and that they were quiet enough for me not to notice what they were doing. So enjoy Lizzie's motion picture I think one day it will win an Oscar.

stART Project

Well since my girls LOVE dinosaurs we decided that this would be a fun project to do, and especially since Mommy isn't feeling so well it falls into the perfect catagory since I don't have to prep anything so HOORAY! We went to Joann's again for more fabric, and Lizzie spotted these, and of course here is how our stART project came about. The girls love to paint, we got to talk about the different dinosaurs, and then we finished the project up with popcorm and The Land Before Time. PERFECT!!!!

My new fancy

So a good friend of mine came over the other day to craft with me, and to show me now she makes some of her fun necklaces. Ever since I met her I fell in love with her bead necklace. I just the randomness of it,and how you can change it up, and that it is Super easy to make. I made this one about 3 weeks ago, and let me tell you about all the compliments I have received about it. Now everyone wants one, and my fingers can't make them fast enough. Thanks Sarah again for showing me how to make them... you are the best!

Is it Summer?

Let me just tell you that the weather here in So. California has been AMAZING! The other day the girls wanted to get in their swimsuits since it was so hot. It was 90 that day and the weather has been amazing ever since. Is summer already creeping in? Spring hasn't visited us yet. Please don't let Summer be here just yet.

Time for Spring

Here are our birdhouses we made! The girls fell in love with them while we were at Joann's looking for fabric for Mommy. The girls stayed at home the other day from church, but as I walked in the door they were ready to get their craft on. I especially love the roofs.

stART Project

I'm back!!! I know it has been forever, but with this charity event over now I can return to a "normal " life. today we read the story, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear. What do you hear?" The girls LOVE this story, and we could read it a billion times and they would not get sick of it. So we made yellow ducks, I know they look like chicks... just enjoy them okay? The girls loved painting their hands , and using their hand prints as the wings. Enjoy!

Hydrangeas!

I just LOVE hydrangeas! I think they are so beautiful. On one of the blogs I follow this lady made thumbprint hydrangeas. I thought they looked simple enough so Lizzie and I experimented, and look what her little thumbs made!

Mustache March

Each year for March Madness David and some of his coworkers grow out their facial hair and enjoy a month of mustaches. I am not a fan, but it is a tradition that I can not break. So for my birthday month David gets to taunt me with his most AMAZING mustache. Hooray for March!

My flowergirls

The girls wanted to be flower girls so I pulled out all the flower girl dresses from my wedding, and we had a wedding party. The girls loved being flower girls and walking down the hallway as the parents sang the wedding march. Then we had to get a wedding shot of the bride with her flower girls. All the memories.. it is so fun to have Lizzie wear one of the dresses. She loved prancing down the hallway and pretending to throw flower petals. Maybe we will make this a tradition.

Sweetheart Dance

Let me just tell you how much my husband loves me. I know you think your husband is the best, but let me just brag about mine for a second. My husband got to go to the Scout Jamboree down in San Diego a couple weekends ago. He had a VERY stressful week at work, but he pushed all that to the side, and packed up the car for a scouting weekend. It rained the entire weekend. He woke up in his tent soaked, he helped the scouts get different merit badges, and then drove home in the rain, and got home around 7:30 pm on Saturday. My good friend Ashley Patterson and her husband Randy came out from Ventura to come visit, and we all decided to go to the Sweetheart Dance. I told David I really wanted to go since everyone was going, and what did my husband do? He walked in the door gave us all kisses, hopped in the hot shower, got dressed, ate dinner, and we were out the door. David and I had a great time dancing the night away. I'm so grateful for a husband who was having a hard week at work, and then a cold and stormy weekend with the scouts would still take out his wife, and have a great night on the dance floor. I love you Honey!

From A LOT of baby weight to 153 pounds

October 2009

This picture was taken 3 months after Krislynn was born. I look back at this girl and realize how sad I was all the time. This isn't the best picture to show how big I was, but I can't find the one I wanted to use. At this time I was dropping weight from nursing, but I didn't start waking up and getting healthy till Jan. 2010.

Feb. 2011

This is the NEW me!!! I'm so happy to see the new me! I have lost over 70 pounds since I have had Krislynn. ( I have run multiple races, and now I can say I'm healthy!) I feel sexy and I know I'm a beautiful daughter of God. It hasn't been easy at all, but each time I want to give up and quit I think about that little family at my first race, and them cheering me on. I do this for myself of course, but I do this for my husband and children. Thank you David for always believing in me, and never letting me give up. You are my hero, and I love you so much!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

For Dr. Seuss's birthday we read "The Foot Book". The girls LOVE this book, and they loved getting their feet painted. We just copied the last couple of lines from the story, and then painted the girls feet, and now I will always have something to remind me how super cute their little feet are!
Enjoy!

Larysa Yevtushuk

Today was a solemn day. My AMAZING neighbor returned to Heaven. She has taught me more in the past couple months than I have learned in my whole life. She has been an inspiration to me, and she will always have a special place in my heart. I love her and her family, and I'm so grateful for amazing neighbors that have joined together in helping her family during this hard trial. We will still be having the benefit in her honor on March 19, 2011 @ Brookside Park in Redlands, Ca. Please come support Larysa's family, they need the extra love and support right now. http://www.runningintheusa.com/Race/View.aspx?RaceID=34661

I love you Larysa! You will truly be missed!
