Mother's Day

I had such a wonderful Mother's Day this year!  The boys helped me make a gift for myself- some times you have to take matters into your own hands, ladies.  Daddy helped them make me breakfast in bed, they picked out flowers for me and a card that they both signed.  AND they actually picked out gifts that I wanted and needed!  It was really nice to be appreciated and loved all day long.

The boys with the cake they made for me.  I love Austin's face- I can't tell if he's proud of what he accomplished or if he just wants to take that cake down!  I'm not sure what Jackson is doing in the background, but he makes me laugh.


They picked out a few hair related items that I LOVED!  Including a comb that I have been looking for since before they were born- such little smarty pants.  

Here is the wall that the boys helped me redecorate for Mother's day- I hated this wall.  I hated everything about this wall.  BEFORE:


Sad, right?  BUT here is the wall AFTER:



STOP reading now if you're a mom in my life and have NOT received a gift from me yet.  Here is what we made for the all the moms that we're blessed with-



I hope my mom friends were celebrated this year, and if you weren't told already, 
THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!

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. ...
