A New Playmate!

We are watching my friend Victoria's little boy today! Lincoln is 6 months old and such a cutie! Griffin was literally shaking with excitement when Link came over this morning. He loves babies!

Getting Excited for Vacation

We are headed off to find the Sunshine mid-April. This year we are going to a resort in Arizona called Cibola Vista. They have a family friendly pool, horseback riding, cowboy cook-outs, other fun activities, and a fancy spa. I'm excited!

Spring Cleaning

So being home for basically 5 days is making me feel swallowed up and claustrophobic! And I'm usually quite the homebody. So I have a plan to organize the garage much better (I need to buy a Gorilla rack from Costco and then have Kyle move the Chevelle into the shop first), and I just loaded 4 bags of toys into the back of the car for Goodwill. Yay! I know there will be some major meltdowns once Sophia realizes all the junk she's missing (my mom will probably be irritated too while she's looking for all the missing dollar store crap), but I'm willing to deal with it.

Note to Grandmas... No more toys. PLEASE! Clothes, great. Special events and special play time, great. Donations to savings accounts, great. Toys for our house - NOT GREAT!

I know this might sound bratty, but if anyone has been to my house lately they would see that I have a hard time managing too much stuff. So help me help myself. :o) I've got to purge before Easter baskets and birthdays.

Quarantine

So we are basically keeping ourselves quarantined. We have all had a bout of the flu this week. Griffin had a some watery poo starting lasting Tuesday night and lasting about 4 days, and it's still not back to normal. Sophia started a vomit-fest last Thursday night and all day Friday. She is now down to just puking every evening around 10:00 - in bed. She doesn't quite get it in the bowl no matter how much we practice... I wanted to curl up and die between vomit sessions all day Friday, and then Kyle was down for the count on Saturday. We had hoped it was a 24 hour thing, but Sophia is still showing symptoms and still has a low-grade fever. And our happy little Griffin seems clingy and needy... Ugg.

Well, I better sign off. I just heard the washer finish. Vomit is not something you can let linger in the hamper. The smell will never come out!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I love Etsy!

I'm in love with Etsy.com and am finding lots of inspiration to do my own projects.

Here's a little felt flower with a button center - how simply cute!

I made it to go with this cute new sweatshirt for Sophia from, where else, Target!

Tutu Cute!

How adorable is this tutu?! I made it and it was so simple! I'm making one for all the special little girls I love.

This is the baby one!

My love affair with Target continues...

My latest finds, a cute little romper for Sophia,

And a bunch of t-shirts for Griff.

Also, lip gloss for mom, a few baby shower gifts, and a snack. I love that store!

Silly Hair Day

Sophia had silly hair day at school today. It was cute!

Nicole & Aspen's Wedding

Sophia cut a rug last Sunday at my friend Nicole's wedding. It was a lot of fun! Nicole is also my sister-in-law's little sister, so Sophia's cousins were there to party with!! Lauren and Carson got their groove on too!

Abby's First Visit

Abby had her first visit to Uncle Kyle's and Aunt Amy's last weekend!

Valentine's Treats

Sophia had a Valentine's party at preschool last Thursday. She had princess valentines and Tinkerbell valentines for all her friends. She had special valentines for her teachers. Here she is ready for school.

Here are the little valentines we made for her teachers and for our family.

These are the yummy treats we made for her teachers.

Chocolate covered strawberry marshmallows with sprinkles.

We made some extras for our own Valentine's party at home.
