ok...it's more than a hobby.

well i have always collected craft stuff and not it is finally being put towards something. 

i am addicted to making these little bows. 

i have no clue what i am going to do with all of them. 

Ayla needs to hurry and grow some hair!!

Anyway, just thought I would post some pictures on here of what I did today during nap time....

 instead of dishes! ;0)

it feels good to be doing something crafty during the day. I guess it is just a nice change in my day from diapers! ;0)

not that i don't love the little folks that fill them.

guilty conscience.

so last night, Garran went upstairs to help the kids get ready for bed. he was the first one up there and when he got to the bathroom he yelled downstairs "what is this?", looking at the boys. Kael quickly replies, "I did not pee in that cup!". Garran was referring to the fact that a bottle of facial cleaner and been dumped down the sink. Um. Yeah. We had a good laugh about that and then wondered what else is going on that we don't know about. This kid is going to be the end of me.

i mean, really?

(Sorry about the quality. It came from my ipod)

could she really get any cuter?

i told you..

i told you there would be more posts. 

watch out. Briea's hair bow bucket is getting pretty full, but I am just having so much fun!

 here I am modeling one. 

ya. i only did this because Briea was asleep when I was taking pictures. 

you still get the general idea.

new hobby!

so with this blizzard and it being winter, I have needed some projects to keep me busy!

my friend Stacy showed me these, and I love making them.

they are so fun and just as cute as the ones you can buy in the store.

(well at least i think so!)

so sorry if the next few posts are all bows I am making. I am kind of on a roll and I am trying different things. so be prepared to see some more cuteness!

can you tell what holiday is coming up next. i do plan on making some other than pink ;0)

blizzard fun.

well with all this snow you know garran had to do something fun with the kids. 

so goes the snow fort of 2011!

 garran starting the work.

 cullan helping daddy.

 briea was freezing, but wanted to be out there so badly to help the boys and play.

 freezing and having fun.

 cullan in the snow fort.

 and a tunnel. ok we took that part outside but it was a nice addition.

 the fort was big enough that garran could fit in there. those are his knees while we was digging.

this was kael. he was out patrolling hoping his little friend would come out to play too. 

the result.

well garran and I agreed the cullan needed a haircut after his little run in with the beard trimmer. 

garran took him upstairs to cut it. when he came down stairs, he had a towel on his head. 

when we whipped it off, i almost fell of the couch laughing. i could not believe it. 

garran said to cullan, "told you mom would like it!".

later we were sitting on the couch together and he looked at me and said, "yeah, I was getting pretty tired of my hair anyway.". i just said "well that is good, because it won't be back for a while.".

the haircut.

today, Garran, Kael and Briea were outside playing. Cullan had come in because he was cold. He went upstairs to change clothes and I thought he was just using the rest room. When he came down stairs he said, "Mom I decided to cut my hair. This is the worst hair cut I have ever given myself!". 

I about feel over laughing. 

Oh well, buzz cut here we come!

Good thing that face of his is so cute.

update on the Blizzard!

This was out our back door at 9:00am this morning. 

I love her face. 

Isn't this how we pretty much all feel when there is this much snow on the ground!

baby, it's cold outside.

this morning, after i got up, this is how i found the kids. 

all snuggled together, watching one of their movies on Daddy's ipod. 

I love how they are all under the blankets snuggled together. 

I guess they really do love each other!

we have only just begun...

1:00 pm

 3:00 pm

 5:00 pm

The Blizzard of 2011 has begun. We will see what it looks like in the morning. For right now, we are pretty sure that we have got right around a foot.

Sweet Snowy Dreams!

a top the stairs.

I am always, always amazed at the different places that I have found my kids asleep.

The other night we sent the boys upstairs to play before bedtime. They had been playing trains up there for a little while and when I went up to tell them it was time to get in bed, this is how i found them.

Kael, and Cullan's feet.

Cullan. Asleep on a baby gate. Really. I can not imagine that is to comfortable.

One more of Kael. Yep, he is laying on the baby gate too.

My kids are amazing...in more ways that just one.

before.

this is the before. 

the blizzard is supposed to start around 3:00.

(for those of you that have watched "Despicable Me")
