She's Crafty

I finally got around to doing a few crafts that i've been wanting to do! (Yes, Heather, most of them are from your recent post! HA)

Last night since Steph was gone for the night the girls and I went to Craft Warehouse... LOVE that place!!!

Here's a few things I made to make it a little more 'fall' around here. :)






We started out by going out for a walk and picking out some pretty leaves..


and we made some jar pumpkins...



and a wreath for our front door! :)

The Pumpkin Patch

We had quite the adventure this year at the pumpkin patch. Mommy and Daddy were a tad overwhelmed with two grumpy babies but overall we had a blast with how EXCITED Evelyne was about everything. Natalie wasn't much of a fan...

We got to visit with the animals...






And we cried...


We got to play on the tractor and drive around like a big kid..





And climb the hay stack with Daddy...


And we slept..

And we cried...



And we cried..


But we ended up finding our perfect pumpkins and had fun doing it! Evelyne loved the ride on the 'choo choo'! :o)

LOVELYNESS

A little pet peeve of mine at our house which drives my husband nuts is cleanliness... We don't quite see eye to eye sometimes and sometimes when you want something done right (that's right, in this case I AM 'right' ;o)ya gotta do it yourself. I am a big fan of a clean dresser. My wonderful husband was not.. So, I got rid of the dresser and moved him and his mess of a wardrobe to the hallway closet. LOL I'm sure that sounds mean but he actually prefers it!


Every now and then when I put the laundry away I just can't help myself but organize his closet and make it 'LOVELY'. :)

Here is what tickles my fancy. ;o)



...I know.. I'm a freak. HA. Anyways... Let's see how long it actually lasts this way. Stay tuned for the result. My guess is less than a week and it'll be trashed. ;o)

I love...

being a Mother...

I'm so blessed to have these two little munchkins for daughters.. :)

Natalie's 2 Month Check up

I can not believe Miss Natalie Mae is two months already!! It is already flying by... So sad!! We have so much fun with her. She is such a precious baby and gets so much love from her Mommy, Daddy and Big Sister. This past week was a busy one for her!! She had her two much check up- which she was not a fan of AT ALL. She got shots and it broke my heart!!! Evelyne was a bit concerned as well.. Lady that day to top it off we got her pierced (which i already posted about ;o) and then this past Sunday she was blessed. We had to much fun with our friends and family after church. We (Stephen and Jeffrey) prepared delicious pancakes, french toast and eggs, YUM) Thank you to everyone that came and supported our family and our little princess' big day.. Here's miss Tiny's two months stats. :o)

Height: 1' 11.5"....86.66 percentile
Weight: 13lbs 5oz...95.48 percentile (no surprise ;o)
Head: 15.51"........65.72 percentile

Way to top the charts like your big sister Natalie Mae.



(Natalie Mae's Blessing day...) <3

2nd time around...

This last week we got Natalie ears peierced. I don't know if it's because she is beyond the sweetest baby ever (yes so is Evelyne ;) or if it's because it was the second time around and we knew what to expect but there was definately hesitation to getting Natalie's ears peirced even when we were standing there picking out earrings. It was so sad. She was already having a bad day from the shots at her two month check up, and I ran the girls around all day running errands since we were already in town. We ended up going through with it but it was SAD.. we did record it but it's just all crying (obviously) and it's too sad to post... Here's a before and after of the little Tiny. ;o)

Jazzed!!!

Today is a good day.
I'm beyond jazzed....

I've officially lost 50 POUNDS!!!! Although I still have so much to go but I am pretty dang proud of these 50 lbs.... that are no longer on my body!

When Natalie was born, Stephen and I decided we were going to eat healthier and get more active- not only for our selves but for our daughters and to be good examples to them. This has led us to a low sugar/carb, low fat life style and we love it. My pre-Evelyne clothes are TOO BIG.. I can fit in my husbands shirts! I've slowly lost a couple of my chins. LOL ;) It just feels good....

And I love love love it. :)
