Spring Break 2015!

Spring Break this was a lot of fun! And soooo needed! It was wonderful to sleep in until 7-7:30 every morning. So so wonderful! But there's something to be said about a schedule and routine. I get so much more accomplished when I have to get the boys up and ready so Jackson can get to school on time. Plus, we get to spend the morning with Jim when we all get up early. ...but sleeping in a little was so nice.

Here's some of the fun we had during our spring break:

Monday was kind of a loss because the boys were acting a little crazy and I was very tempted to sell them all to the highest bidder on Ebay, so we won't talk anymore about Monday...

Tuesday:

First, it was St Patrick's Day. The boys were so stoked for St Patrick's day for the chance to pinch people who weren't wearing green. They're a sadistic bunch.

The Science Spectrum!

The boys hadn't been in awhile, so we let them loose to play and explore.

I completely forgot that they have a little area set aside for little crawlers until the last 20 minutes or so that we were in the preschool area. Harrison LOVED all the fun stuff at his level.

Wednesday:

Happy Birthday, Austin! Wednesday we celebrated Austin's birthday and the boys spent the night at grandma's. See Austin's 4th birthday here.

One of Austin's gifts was a little Mickey piano that came with some books. However, Harrison has decided that the piano is his and often finds the piano and takes it over.

Thursday:

Thursday was a beautiful day! It was a perfect day for the park!

First, the boys fed the ducks, but apparently the ducks were well fed during spring break because they weren't very hungry. They kind of ignored us.

It was a big day for Harrison because he got to swing for the first time. He is the first of my boys not to freak out on the swings for the first time! He loved that swing! He might be my first brave child yet.

After playing on this slide for awhile, Austin's hair got a bit static-y. So cute!

Friday:

Friday was a good day for a craft. The boys made these cute little bunnies.

Spring Break 2015 was relaxing and fun! It was a nice little stay-cation.

If you decorate, it will come.

A friend of mine uses the motto, "if you decorate, it will come". So I decorated for fall because I want the fall weather to get here already. I'm a pregnant lady who doesn't like the heat when I'm not pregnant, so I'm especially not fond of it right now. It's supposed to be in the low 80's here, but instead it's in the high flippin' 90's! A friend of mine has a fabulous blog, http://smallsimplethingswithlove.blogspot.com, and it is my FAVORITE blog, so check it out. Nicole, is talented and creative and on a budget!! (my 3 favorite things) Anyway, she had some really cute ideas on her blog that I stole and it got me in the mood for decorating! This picture is of our entry way, by our front door. My favorite part is the autumn picture which I made with my handy-dandy Cricut machine. My husband even helped, hehe. I've had the frame for at least 10 years and I just took out the old ugly picture of the flower that was in it and crea

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

BABY NUFFER #2 is on his/her way!!!!

That's right, we were waiting to tell everyone, but today we had our second appointment and the second sono and Baby Nuffer #2 is doing well. Most of you know that we had a miscarriage in June after struggling with infertility, it was a very devastating time for us. We were "advised" to wait a couple cycles before trying again (and we were going to take the advice), but a little voice, I know now it was the Spirit, told me we should try again as soon as possible. I talked to Jim and he agreed and sure enough baby #2 is on it's way again! This little one is very healthy and has a strong heartbeat!! We aren't out of the woods yet, I'm just under 9 weeks and at 12 weeks our chances of miscarriage drop significantly. I don't feel we'll be out of the woods until I have our little baby in my arms, which will only give me a whole new set of stresses to worry about. ;) This is Baby Nuffer #2 at 6 weeks and 5 days. If you look close it's off to the
