Card Class Fun

Above is a cute little owl treat that I made for my gals I visit teach. On the back it says "Guess whooo loves you? Your Visiting Teachers!" And for below:
Just thought I'd post some pictures from my last card class for those of you who missed it. I am still looking for at least 2 more people to to join my card club. We will be meeting on Tuesday the 20th of October for some cute Halloween stuff! Over conference I made a bunch of Christmas tags. I am going to do an additional Christmas tag class. Tallie saw some of them and said they were super cute!

12 Years Today!

Happy Anniversary honey! Thanks for fixing our router for our internet connection so I could post this tonight. (See how handy he is :) Since this year's anniversary fell on a Sunday and we didn't do anything out of the ordinary to remember it I thought I would put this little page together for us to have something to remember.

When We're Working We're Happy and We Sing As We Go...

This weekend we worked on getting the basement ready to build two new bedrooms. Yes this is the long unfinished room where I had my craft/stamping stuff. Now that my new room is all finished we were able to clean out and start on this room. It's so nice to have a handy, smart, hardworking husband. Hopefully, soon Levi will be able to have a real bedroom as opposed to the basement playroom which has been his room. And I realized I never posted any pictures of my new stamp room.



We put in french doors where the borded up old sliding glass door was, new window, tore out paneling, finished the walls, put in carpet etc.. I love it.

Howdy

Howdy y'all! Last Thursday was the Daddy Daughter Activity. Since I was one of the moms in charge of it I got to go. We did a cute western themed activity in the McInctyre's back yard. The weather was supposed to be good that night. However, a huge thunderstorm rolled in and it blew and then poured on us. We scrambled to get some canopies up and continue on through it. Our fire survived the down pour and we were still able to roast marshmellows at the end. I wish I had pictures of the game, but being in charge of it I didn't get a chance to take any. Anyhow, the girls got to put shaving cream all over their dad's faces and then there was a contest where they got to toss cheetos at their faces and see who could get the most stuck to their dad. Then they got to "shave" their dads. (with safe razors with the covers still on them). Because of all the rain and delays we didn't finish the second part where the dads get to do the girls hair. That would have been fun to see but it was getting too late.

"My Juice is Coming"

Ok so I've got one more post today. This is the potty update. Hopefully we are making some headway with Leia. It was the funniest thing. I was here at the computer and she was near by me on the ground watching TV and she says, "Mom, my juice is coming!" It took me a moment to think about what she was saying and then I realized I need to rush her to the potty. I remembered that the other day I told her when she drank her juice it went down down and then she would need to pee pee it out. So, I guess "my juice is coming" translates to I need to go potty. That was the first time she actually told me and I got her to the potty and she stayed dry. Horray! She is getting more conscious of it.

Card Heaven

I got to go to St George this weekend for a big Stampin' Up get together. I was in card heaven. I went with my good friend Monica and her friend Hollie. We drove down Friday evening and stayed the night...stayed up too late chatting as girls do. Then we spent all day at the Dixie center making tons of cute stuff and learning new things from the demonstrations they had. It was a nice break from the kids and a good time. I'm so excited to start a new card club.

Bre Got a Broken Arm

Last Wednesday's soccer game had a sad ending. However, it wasn't even Bre that was playing soccer. We were at Addie's game. Levi and Bre were playing at the playground area. There was a little boy there being quite the bully to everyone. He was spitting on Bre and chasing her. Well, he chased her as she was leaving the playground onto the grass to come and tell us, and shoved her onto the ground so she fell on her arm in a bad way and the radius bone was clearly broke. Her poor little arm was so bent. Levi saw it and tried to help her. She wouldn't get up so he ran and got us. Fortunately my husband met up with us at the game so we had two cars there. My husband tried to talk to the boy but he wouldn't cooperate. He wriggled away. So we never found out who he was or who his parents were, but he was so out of control. It was very upsetting. But we were torn between causing a big scene and taking care of our daughter right away. So Dustin and Bre didn't get back from the hospital until after 11pm that night. That was on the 9th. They do a temporary cast and have you wait for 5 days for any swelling to go down before doing the more permanent cast. So today she got her hard cast put on and is doing much better. She got to choose the pink and purple. She was happy about that. Hopefully it will be off before halloween.

Back to School

This is actually my desktop page. I get free pages from the shabbyprincess blog and add my own pics. The kids are really growing up.

Potty Training Blues

I have the potty training blues. What will it take for this little girl to volunteer to actually use the potty on her own? We have worked on it off and on through out the year. Now that school is in we are in full swing potty training. After two and a half weeks of mom making her go every half hour to an hour for most of the day you would think she would just once say, mom I have to go potty. But no. It's so frustrating. We use bribes, candy, cheers, you name it, but it's not clicking. I just hate the potty training thing. I can only hope that she is not as stubborn as Addie was.
