The BOYS' room is completed!!

It's DONE!! Finished today!! I wanted something that would be "big boy" like, as well as "baby" like for both boys. I think we accomplished it. We are keeping BB2's name a secret till he arrives, so I omitted any pictures with his name in them.


Jackson's bed and new name letters.



BB2's crib and no name letters to show for him just yet.




Their dresser and bookshelf. The monkey picture and the giraffe picture above their dresser was made using the Cricut. LOVE the cricut!!



Just a little detail above their closet. I should have taken pics of the inside of their closet. I cleaned it out and organized it. It looks great!!



And this last picture is the best I could get of their whole room without giving away BB2's name.





Now I get to add Austin's bed...

    Thanks Lindsay! We actually got really lucky with that bedding. We weren't going to buy a bed set because we didn't really use Jackson's. We were just going to buy sheets and my mom and I were going to make a skirt. BUT I was just browsing bed sets at Target.com and I found that bed set and I loved it and it matched Jackson's bed set colors, but it was really expensive so I just forgot about it. Within a couple days we saw that bed set clearanced at Target for $36! It was only sold on-line, but for whatever reason it was in store and cheap, so it was meant to be!

    Awesome! I regret getting George's bedding because its pastel baby colors. He enjoys it because its covered in Dinosaurs. But I really wish I would have gotten one where the colors latest till he was older like yours. It's so cute!!

Maybe a new birthday tradition...

I just have one brother and his birthday is 5 days before mine, so it's been pretty easy to keep up with him. Jim, however, has 3 brothers and a sister, and now 3 of his siblings are married, so the birthday's just keep adding up. My forgetful brain can NOT keep up. Anyway, I've been looking for a cute and thoughtful way to send birthday greetings to all the aunts and uncles since we've been married. Almost 4 years later I think I finally have an idea! My idea is to make a birthday sign every year and have the boys take a picture with the sign for whatever family member has a birthday. Then send the person the picture with birthday greetings. Then every year they will have a different picture with the boys as they grow and I won't feel guilty missing anyone's birthday without proper acknowledgement. I also thought that it would make a great photo album for us if we keep each person's birthday picture with the boys and watch their growth progression ...

Can I finally join the club??

I have issues with making anything with yeast.  It scares me.  I tried making rolls or bread in home-ec as a kid and it was a FLOP!  Since, I stay far away from baking goods with yeast, so of course, that includes homemade bread.  I LOVE homemade bread, but I've never made it.  I realize I'm not a real Mormon wife and mother because of this huge flaw, but I've managed to make it as a so-so wife and mom with this awful glitch in my character.  Then I came across an "easy" recipe for honey wheat bread (thanks for posting it on fb Liz Nuffer) and decided to conquer my fear of yeast. First things first, I had to buy yeast- there are 394 different kinds of yeast.  No one warned me how many different kinds there were!  My fear began to overcome me, but I gathered all my strength and picked the most interestingly plain kind I could find.  Hopefully it would do the trick! I followed the recipe, but it said to wait until the yeast "frothed". ...

It's time to play catch-up

I haven't updated the blog in awhile because life has been VERY busy. Lots of new things happening, but that's for another day, another blog. A week or so ago we had a special breakfast, we had dessert for breakfast, strawberry shortcake. Austin LOVED it, but he's not a picky eater. Jackson, however, was not impressed with this special treat. It was like pulling teeth just to get him to try it, then he responded with, "it's delicious!", but wouldn't take another bite. I even made fresh whipped cream which he usually loves, but he wasn't interested. Anyway here are the boys with their special breakfasts. I recently posted about the new chore chart that I made for Jackson and it is going SO well!! I thought he would flip out with the 15 minutes of game time, but he doesn't. He really likes moving the magnets around on the chart and cashing in chores for nickels every night. He even knows how to use the timer for his 15 minutes of game time. ...
