Before I forget....

I will be the first to admit that Kam watches WAAAAAY too much TV.  The other day he proved that point to me. Here is our conversation:

Kam:  "Hey mom, is sometimes your hair flat and imaginable (unmanageable)?"

Me: (Thinking, what the crap? and where is he going with this? and where did he learn those words?) "Ummm, sure, I guess"

Kam:  "Well, there are these things called bump its and you ........(here he recited the entire commercial, basically word for word)

Me:  (Trying my very hardest not to laugh and take him seriously) "Sounds awesome bud"

Kam: "You could have a very stylish hair do. Maybe me and Daddy could get you some for your birthday."

And then he walked off like he throws around words like "stylish" and "unmanageable" every day.

Then part two of the bumpit infomercial by Kam happened today:

Kam:  " Hey mom, you remember those bumpits I told you about? Well there is this new thing called smooth away and it sniffs out the fur on your legs and a-bows (elbow; which he thinks your armpit, shoulder, or basically anything that has to do with you arms is) "

I should really limit his TV time more...but really, why does cartoon network have commercials like this? I don't really think they are quite reaching their "target" audience!  Maybe they are, what kid would want a mom with flat hair and fur?  ;)

Sneak Peek...

My sweet mom is GREAT at taking pictures. She has an awesome camera too. Yesterday we decided to take some pictures of the boys. I never went to get Krew his 6 mos pictures and it has been eating away at me. Here is a peek at one of the shots she took....


She is thinking about starting a little photo business. I think she is good enough...what do you think?!

The rest are just as cute as this one, I just need to get them edited. I am a beginner at photoshop, so it may be awhile :)

Week 4....

January 22-28


1.22.10     Fun girly stuff mom and I made for Tyler and Jenni's baby girl. Girl fabric is soooo much more fun than boys :)


1.23.10     Eating breakfast with Daddy before he left on another trip. He was home for one night and part of a day before he took off again. Dumb work.


1.24.10     Cute drooly mug with big smiles.


1.25.10     Finally got me a good phone. I have never had anything but the freebie you get with your contract, but I went high dollar this time and I am so happy about it... I just better not drop it in the tub/sink last my last one :)


1.26.10     First pickle for the Krew-man. He LOVED it. I did not love his odor after he was done. Pickles will not be a frequent snack for him, at least not until he learns how to eat more than he wears.


1.27.10     Playing in the snow at Grandma Kim's. He is growing up to be such a handsome little man.


1.28.10     One last sleepover with Grandma (at least for this trip). Kam even talked her into sleeping in his bed with him. I am sure she loved his little feet under her all night long ;)

Week 3...

January 15-21

1.15.10     This was the day I forgot to take a picture. Ugh. It still ticks me off and I even thought of cheating and throwing in a random picture to count for today. Oh well...I will not forget again :)


1.16.10     Finishing the basement. This has been a never-ending task. Today Spence and James finished sanding the sheetrock to get ready for the texture. I will be so glad when there is no more yucky dust on everything in my house. Probably as glad as these two because they will be done!  



1.17.10      Quick trip to Fillmore today. Doug was called as the Bishop and we didn't want to miss it.


1.18.10     While Daddy was in San Diego enjoying some sunshine, we spent some time at Grandma Kim's. These two love each other so much. I hope they will always be good friends.


1.19.10     Cute naked photo shoot before the tub. This is just one of many that are sooooo cute.


1.20.10     Mom and I played handy man today. We completely installed her new washer and gas dryer all by ourselves. We did pretty good too. Only dropped the dryer once. Really, we did :)


1.21.10     Krew's favorite new toy, his toes. Babies are so bendy and I love it. He can't get enough of his stinky little feet and neither can I.

This makes me happy...



I am so in love with this little guy and his new flirty face.

Random craftiness...

Mom and I have been bitten by the crafty bug once again. We tend to go in spurts and right now we are on a big one. Spencer hates that I do this. Right now, all I want to do is sew. I have no interest in scrapbooking, so my entire basement of supplies is just collecting dust. This is the part Spencer hates. Eventually, I will get back on a scrapbooking kick, I just am not sure when. In the meantime, we are busy sewing. Here are a few fun things we have made recently.
We saw this on a website and had to try it out. It is a portable highchair. It works awesome. Krew really couldn't sit up very well when these pictures were taken, but that thing was holding onto him tight. It is too cool.


A shot of the highchair with out the little man in it. It is all fabric so you can just chuck it in the washer when it is dirty. So rad.

Here are some fun girly things we made for my cousin's baby shower. It was SOOO fun to have a legit excuse to buy us up some girly fabric. Isn't it fun?!


Okay-I just have to apologize to Spencer right now for 1) taking these pictures, 2) not destroying them like you told me too, and  3) posting them on here. I just don't know any other way to show this cute little outfit. Krew does not make a pretty little girl, but we wanted to get an idea for the fit and he was the only little person around. How stinkin cute is this dress and pants? I LOVE them. The pants were a little long on the Krew man's squatty legs, but you get the idea. Please forgive me honey ;) 



I love this purse. It is very rare that I actually keep something that I made for myself, but I love this too much to give away.  It was not really hard, but very time consuming. It is crazy what goes into making a purse, I started this thinking it would just take a couple hours, but it took much longer than that. Maybe my second one will go alot smoother :)


This is the wallet that I made to match my purse perfectly. It was harder than the purse. It definately has its flaws, but I learned what not to do on the next one. Every purse should have a perfectly matched wallet to go with it, right?


And last but not least, a makeup bag that I made for Sarah for her birthday. Don't you just love this fabric?! It is just too cute!

Sledding at North Park....

While we were in Fillmore in January (yes, I am that behind), we took the kiddos sledding at North Park. They had so much fun, and I am pretty sure the adults had just as much fun too :) It was a beautiful day, not too cold. Krew slept through most of it and when he did wake up, he was not a big fan of the bright snow and cold. He was good, but he wouldn't crack a smile for nothing. Here are the pics from that day:


Cute sleepy little man.


Not really sure what this face is. He is a bit of a weirdo, especially when you try and take a picture. Kam had so much fun though and totally surprised me with his lack of fear. He didn't even think as he headed down the hill as soon as he got out of the car. I think he ran up and down the hill a billion times that day.  


Cute little Ali-bug


Tanner

The first attempt at a "train". I won't lie, it took me a bit to warm up to the idea of heading down that hill. I was a little afraid of peeing myself (if you have recently had a baby, you know what I mean;)) but I eventually went down a few times and it was really fun.


My and my little man.


Grandma Ann and the little man. He seriously would not crack a smile. He just soaked it all in.


Kam, taking a little break. They totally wore themselves out.


Kam and Luke


Katy and Martha




Such a fun day. Everytime we have been down since then, we have hoped for another sledding day but the snow has not cooperated. Maybe next year :)

Project 365.. Week 2

Here is the 2nd week. I am still going strong and have only missed one day so far (which totally ticked me off), but I am still really enjoying it. I need to be better about getting them downloaded and posted though. There have been a few pictures that I don't remember why I took them... Anyways, enjoy!


January 8-14


1.8.10     Girls day out with my Mom and Gram. We started off by being pampered at the spa and then did some shopping at the mall. We really need to do this more often :)


1.9.10     Spence and I got fancy and had us a dinner date at the Red Leg Social. The boys had a sleepover at Grandma Kim's and I am pretty sure they didn't even miss us!


1.10.10     Cute little mugs. My mom actually took this picture of my little men and I loved it much more than the picture I had planned to use. I can't believe how fast these two a growing up. Please stop :)


1.11.10     More time at Grandma Kim's while Daddy was away for work. Kam built the best "sleep cave" at the foot of my bed. It looked really cozy, but he only lasted till about midnight before he needed to straighten out a little better on a real bed. He is a funny little guy.


1.12.10     Back home today...check out all the crap really important stuff that it takes for the three of us to go to mom's for two nights. Wow.


1.13.10     Last of the H1N1 shots for the Kam-man. He was SOOOOO good this time. Not even a single tear. So naturally, he needs to show off his awesomely huge muscles.


1.14.10     Not sure why I took this or what it symbolizes for this day, but I love it. Just look at that sweet face. I love this little man.
