me crafty??? not!


for anyone who knows me, you know i'm not very crafty. i avoid crafty things for many reasons. i'm not very creative, but more than that i like things to be perfect but don't have the frustration tolerance. i don't like to spend much time on things and like to get it done quick especially with kids around. when my friend tami said she would put together packets to make this cute spider chandelier, i couldn't pass it up. she did a lot of leg work which made it easier for me. it still wasn't easy, but i did it and it's all worth it now. thanks tami!

my baby is 2

my sweet baby boy turned 2 today. wow, how the time flies! seems like yesterday he was just a newborn. we are so blessed to have nate in our family! he is the sweetest little boy and he sure knows how to bring a smile to our faces! it's hard not to laugh when he makes his cute goofy faces and shows off his dance and silly attitude! he and jack are best friends and play together really well (most of the time). here are a few of the reasons we love our baby nate!

1. his cute, head turning dimpley smile
2. his sweet kisses (see the kissy face) he really gets into his kisses and grabs your face with both hands and goes in for the kiss. he will do this with just about anyone, but really loves to kiss moe (his future wife)
3. his curly locks
4. his pouty face
5. even his tantrums are cute
6. he shares so well with his big bro!
7. he likes to tease, but always gives into his brother if the whining starts
8. he's a mama's boy
9. he's such a cuddly baby
10. he's just recently started sleeping through the night (we're definitely loving it!)
11. he says his favorite color is purple (probably because he hears jack saying it all day long)

nate is still my baby and will be until we have another one i suppose! we love him so much! happy birthday baby nate!

he goes down every which way and loves it! he was so excited when he saw the big red and purple slide!

jack's college fund

jack is already starting to make his own money!!! a few weeks ago johne got an email from youtube saying his video was very popular and suggested he puts on ads. then we get a few cents for each time someone watches the video and more for each ad clicked. we are putting it in his misson/college fund, so click away!

He is currently averaging $2/day. One day he got $5. Expectations were low at first but now he might be making $30/week.
