Crib Update

The crib is officially out of our room as of yesterday! i enjoyed a straight 6 hour shot of sleep- would have been 9 if i had gone to bed earlier! it was a dream come true!!!

"A peak into our week"

So this will be a long post, but I feel like I need to record last week or i'll feel like it never could have happened! It was so nuts!

For starters my totally awesome husband worked 16 hour days every day last week (what a trooper!) and if he wasn't working, he was in class, or on a rare occasion sleeping! so as you can imagine, it was a little busy for me too, since he wasn't around to help out. The babies were soooo kind to me on monday, i ended up putting the finishing touches on some scrappin' stuff for a contest- which i didn't get pickeed for :( and get pics of them printed at costco. the babies were SO good, which was nice cause i was stressin!




so tue while ty was working hard, the babies and i went to our MOPS group which was lots of fun, we made these cute birthday plates and i had some wonderful help with some cranky babies- those mom's can get a little noisy :-) following MOPS we raced to get my entries in the mail and off they were! we came home and had a great visit from Alisa and Erin and had just enough time to get ready for our evening out... i braved the new this week and left the babies with someone other then family! thanks to Susan and Emily (who were absolutely great in dealing with my newly finicky eaters!), i was able to enjoy my monthly stampin' up group- we did some super cute valentine projects, which i'm sure many of you will get "knock-offs" of in the future!


wed with ty still working hard, Hallie and Micah spent the evening with G&G Stoddard while I celebrated my dad's birthday with the folks at a Christian Comedian (so refreshing to have a good clean laugh!) you should check him out he's pretty funny- here's a link to his blog... http://www.lightenup.typepad.com/ so following this i made a quick trip to prosser to pick the babies up and rushed back home to get there before home before ty so he could see the babies before they went to sleep.

thursday, ty still working, i was able to clean the entire house (which is a mess again already!) and make some valentine's snickerdoodles for ty and our coworkers, we dropped them off and in exchange i got some delicious "magic bars!" Scream yeah for magic bars- they are magically delicious! other then that, hallie seriously slept most of the day away while micah was busy discovering how to grab a toy and bring it to his mouth and sitting up! yes he did it- while kind-of i had them propped on a pillow to feed them and pop! up came Micah! it was quite shocking and he has been working hard ever since then to make it happen again!




friday my mom came down and we had a fun short evening out- we ate at nothing but noodles, fed 2 babies, and went shopping at good-ol' michaels and craft warehouse, i am trying to make these cute hairbands i saw on another baby- i'm so not into the bows and lace so hadn't really been putting hairbands on hallie, but i saw one like the brown one and fell in love. so now i'm gonna try to make a few extra bucks by selling them, let me know what you think about them, i would love any and all feedback (good and bad)!



sat with tyson STILL working- we ran some errands, bought me a new cell phone (hopefully this one lasts the last one only made it 1 1/2 months!) hit a baby shower, and rushed out to prosser to see my aunt sue and uncle rich from the westside. we had a fun evening at my parents, well i had fun at least, not so sure about everyone else... i annihilated them at a game of golf (pure luck or sympathy from the others- not quite sure which one!)

all i have to say is THANK GOODNESS for Sunday! God sure knew what he was doing when he made that a day of rest!!! we all greatly enjoyed it! if it hadn't been for church i don't think any of us would have got out of bed! but we were glad we did cause we had a fun time with the moses nieces out in prosser!

It's so true...

a little new mom humor...

i did it again!!

so tyson always gets frustrated with me for starting projects and not finishing them, so what do i do, but do it again of course! i've really wanted to get the twins out of our room for the last week, and thought that since i'm finally home for a whole day, why not go for it...

so if i was to do the project the right way, i would have taken measurements of the crib and looked at where i was trying to get it to, well no actually just looked, i could have totally seen it wasn't gonna happen without taking the crib apart! But no of course i didn't PLAN for this project, i just started- yikes! yeah i was totally thinking i could feed the babies, move the crib while they watched and have the crib ready for their next nap! yeah, so 3 hours, 1 pack and play, and 1 frustrated mom later we have 2 babies peacefully sleeping in the pack and play and a totally torn apart room (have i mentioned it's amazing what you can store underneath a crib!), a dresser in the hallway, and a crib that i can't take apart by myself! tyson almost lost a finger (seriously) putting the thing together himself! so now i have 2 options, put everything away somehow, which means i totally wasted my afternoon or leave it and wait for my husband, who's working 16 hours like everyday this week, to help me! hmmm... do you think he'll be too upset?

Hallie is in love...

In a matter of seconds, her bright blue eyes start to twinkle, and a smile slowly creeps across her face, then it happens she starts to coo softly and won't take her eyes off the BRIGHT ORANGE FISH!!! She absoslutely loves the thing, she will sit there for extended periods of time talking away to the fish. I think she's found her first true love...
