Happy New Year!

Okay I mean it, 2012 is going to be MY year to Blog. So much changes so fast it is nice to go back and see what has happened.


We had a great Christmas. All three girls got what they wanted

And My Mom got her Christmas wish, My sister and her family came to visit from Kansas and they got to stay for the whole week. They drove down on Christmas day and didn't have to drive back till New Years Day

We had fun and were sad to see them go home but are looking forward to the summer when someone makes the drive to see each other again. And we always have Facebook Sykpe! LOL We do lots of video chats during the week so no one ever seems that far away.

Looking forward to the new year and the 4 birthdays this month brings. My oldest is turning 11 and my youngest 2 this month. My Brother and my Hubby also have birthdays but hey, we know it all about the kids now. ;-)

Looking forward to typing a quick note a day to keep the year in perspective.

Maybe by next Christmas I can get a Santa pic with a smiling Paige.

My Crazy Busy Life

Okay I know I am a horrible Blogger! I don't know if anyone actually bother to read this but that's okay too! So much has happened since I blogged last. I am now PTA president this year and a 70/30 caregiving for my Grandmother. It is going to be a busy year. My Nanny ( as the grand kids call her) has had some health issues concerning her Blood pressure. But then they found pre-cancerous polyps in her colon sooo they went in to burn them off. All went well until a week later and a scab fell off exposing blood vessels which led to her almost bleeding out. Luckily they went in with an emergency colonoscopy and burned the vessels which was great, but then she developed orthostatic hypo tension. Which means when she stands her blood pressure dropped rapidly causing her to black out. Blood pressure issues led to TIAs (mini strokes) Which led to more hospital time. She is currently in rehab and will be back at the house soon. but she can't stay by herself which is where I come in! So now I have three kids, a grandmother, dinner for 9 nightly, laundry for 5, cleaning (as if), and oh yeah did I mention PTA president! like I said Crazy busy year!

Ok I know it!

I am the worst blogger ever! My life never seems fun enough to write about. Quick highlights of the past year! Found out Kaylyn needed glasses. Her reading has greatly improved since last year (imagine that..Did you know if you can see it helps you read) She has made the A honor roll 3 out of 4 six weeks. She was a cheerleader and played Basketball this year. Reace has lost two teeth and is taking dance. She says two jobs is enough for her. She has also made A honor roll 3 out of 4 six weeks. Paige had her first birthday. Has 6 teeth an d is starting to walk. Her talking is coming along although Mama is still her favorite word and covers a multitude of things for me to the dogs! I am working hard at both being a full time Mommy and Part time Crafter! I have had alot of orders recently for Koozies and T-shirts. It is crazy busy right now but I will try and get some new pics up tomorrow.

Paigie Poo and a Clean Craft Room

Yesterday my youngest princess celebrated her 4 month birthday!! She is a chunky little cutie.

I have been busy cleaning up the craft room so my mom and I have room to actually create new things. A little hard with a baby but we are getting there. Yesterday cleaned out 6 tubs of fabric. I still have around 12 tubs left. I think I like to shop a little too much. My mom and I have decided we have to let go of excess supplies. Right now the plan is to list lots on ebay or facebook. There will be fabric and beads right now, but we are going through the whole room. Everything is quite messy right now. Hopefully we will have it all cleaned quickly. We have an awesome friend helping us. Without her we would probably be hoarding stuff till Jesus comes back!! But right now I am in the zone. If I think it is pretty (which allot of it is) but I don't have immediate plans for it, IT IS GONE!!!! I mean really what was I going to do with 50 bandannas??? A whole bucket of Flip flops?? I have turned over a new leaf. No more overbuying! Thrifty and Smart are my new mottoes! I only buy enough for one project at a time and I finish it before I start something new! I can do this!! I will post pictures of the new CLEAN room when its done. Here is a before picture just to give you an idea how bad it was Not the best picture but messy.

Our progress so far, well My progress. I didn't want to take a picture of mom's side yet. I will wait till she is here. Or just let her show off her side.

Here is an idea of all the fabric we are letting go of. But this is just the first wave so I will probably go through it again today and pull out more.

If you are interested in fabric keep watching or follow me on facebook I will hopefully get to start posting by Friday!

Ok Announcing Princess Paige!!!

I am back and now there is a new addition to my family. Last I blogged I had just failed the 1 hr Glucose. Well I passed the three hr. Made it through a book fair at kids school, Thanksgiving, My Nanny's birthday, my Mom's birthday, My 30th Birthday, Christmas and New years, My brothers and Hubby's birthdays (can you tell why I haven't blogged in a while just no time). All that brought us to January 19th when I gave birth to my youngest Paige Alexandria. She weighed in at 9 lbs 11ozs and measured 20 1/2 inches.

Her big sisters adore her and she is already pretty spoiled. She is now almost 6 weeks old and rules the house. I am the only one who will let her cry for more than 5 seconds, but I learned my lesson with the first two. I have to keep reminding them that Mommy can't come running to take care of the baby while she is in the bathroom. :-) Even Mommies get to potty in peace. Yeah Right!!

But she is a super sweet baby who loves to look around and is already turning over to her side and lifting up her head. She was even scooting during tummy time the other day. I told her she doesn't have to catch up to her sisters she can just stay Mommy's baby for a while!!

Her oldest sister turned 9 just seven days after she was born and what happens but that very night Kaylyn gets her first phone call from a boy! I am not surte I am ready for all that lol. Now that thingshave calmed down around here maybe I will have time to Blog.

Wow I am a bad blogger

Wow! I am really bad at blogging. It has been 2 months since I have written anything. I am now HUGE!! and getting bigger every day. I have only gained 10 lbs so far though, but i did fail my 1 hr glucose teat last week so I go in the morning for the dreaded three hour one. I am eating my last food since it is still before midnight as I type this. Then I have to fast till after I am done with the test tomorrow afternoon. Bummer.

Other than that everything seems to be sailing along. Girls are doing good in school, No flu issues so far (knock on wood and pray hard), and they have both gone on a field trip. Reace went to a pumpkin patch and her Daddy and I both tagged along. It was fun she got to milk a cow and touched it's "gudder". LOL Kaylyn went to the local high school which has a planetarium. She loved it. She came home and told us all about the stars and planets.

I will try and get some pics up but nobody hold your breath since I obviously have forgotten my blog site LOL.

Alrighty Then

It has been awhile since I have updated this. Summer was a long endless round of nausea and sleeping. My grandmother has a TIA (mini stroke) so she was recuperating here, and my mom had her second reconstructive surgery. I was going to take care of them but ended up sleeping most of the time. I finally got to the doctor in August. I was already 16 weeks pregnant. but that is a ok with me makes the second half go by so much quicker. ;) I go back for my 20 week sono in just a week so soon I will know what I am having. They just couldn't tell with this one.

We then got two new puppies. Super cute little wienie dogs. A long hair male and a short hair female. But at only 6 weeks old they do not sleep thru the night. Yippee. Mommy has to get up with them at 3 am to let them out. Lucky for me my dad is an early riser and usually lets them out at 5 so then they are pretty good till I get up at 7 to get the girls ready for school. Which started today so I sent my baby off to Kindergarten. We took her to her class and then she told us to "just go". She wouldn't even kiss me bye. I like to think she was trying so hard to cry she sent us away. lol My third grader was so excited she got up at 5 am. Then she was so cranky tonight I almost sent her to bed at 7 pm. She loves school and can't wait. It won't last all year but I will enjoy it while I can.

I have been so busy sewing and embroidering I am fixing to have to take my machines in for maintenance. Not to mention my computer hard drive was fried this morning when I went to boot up my computer nothing. but it is getting fixed as we speak ( I had to hijack my Mom's computer for this blog.) now it is off to bed for me. Puppies and kiddos want attention way too early in the morning.
