Matching cuties!

I like to sew, I just don't do it very often. I usually have so many other projects going that I don't have time to sew, but this Christmas I made time. I found some super cute fleece and couldn't resist the opportunity to make matching PJ pants. Normally the kiddos get jammies on Christmas eve, but we gave them a week early so they could wear them to our ward (come in your PJ's) Christmas breakfast!



They are growing too fast! I'm trying to enjoy them through all the sibling quarrels, eye rolling, and other "my life is so hard" behavior! They are wonderfully imperfect kiddos and together we can grow. I learn from them and hopefully they will pick up a few good things from me, not just my many weaknesses! Sorry this post started out as a cute pic of Christmas jammies and then it got totally off topic. I guess Christmas does remind to see the blessings in our everyday moments! I hope you are enjoying your moments today!
Merry Christmas,
Angel
PS. I was getting ready to post this and I had to hurry and catch Ty before he broke all the stucco off our house... He was hammering it with his toy shovel! Blessings right?

I'm a Campaign manager

Well my darling oldest child came home last week and informed us that he was going to run for school historian. My first question was "what exactly does the school historian do?" his response, "I don't know, I think take pictures and stuff." Actually he was partially right, he will need to take pictures at school functions and keep a record of school activities. He would also be a member of the student council.

Well we spent much of the weekend brainstorming ideas (he had some pretty big ideas) then making campaign posters. I think I've had my fill of poster making for a while! Now he is writing his speech, I hope this is a positive experience for him irregardless of the outcome! He will do a great job, I hope he gets the chance!

Oh where has my little boy gone?

I went in before going to bed to check on Ty and turn off the fan (helps him go to sleep). I reached down in the dark to cover him up...no Ty. After opening the door to let in light and searching everywhere including in Emily's bed and under both beds I was stumped. We then began the search of the house Lonnie going one way and I the other. He was nowhere! I began to panic a little all the doors were still locked so he had to be in the house but where? I went back to the scene of the crime ((haha)) I turned on the light this time, still nothing but at least Em stayed asleep. Not in closet, not under the beds...oh wait I see little toes this time sticking out from behind the under bed drawer! I pulled the drawer out and there he was sleeping soundly on the floor, in the little niche behind the drawer!
Oh my beating heart...how much more is to come with this little man? He's only 2!

...and their off!

It's been a good summer, full of adventures. A part of me is a little sad to see it come to an end, but truly we were all ready to go back to a more scheduled lifestyle. This morning went pretty smoothly other than Logan was very concerned with being early so we stood on the playground (on this 90 degree sunny Monday) for about 20 minutes before they had the pledge of allegiance. Too warm... I don't think we'll be going that early tomorrow.
It's gonna be a good year, no moving, just enjoying life...I'm looking forward to it!


Tyler wasn't to be left out...he had to have his backpack too!


PS Summer adventures to be posted soon, just have to wrangle all the pics! Hopefully I'll have more time now!
