Working on my New Year's Resolution to get organized.

I tackled some of my craft supplies today. All the plastic bags full of ribbon, fabric, and other odds and ends were getting a little out of control. (Not to mention hard to find things.)

My new favorite blog!

I just wish there were more hours in the day...

7-Up in our fridge means one thing:

Someone in our house is a sickie and unfortunately it's Megan.

She was suppose to see her favorite babysitter dance at a performance tonight,

and go to a child-care lab at the junior high tomorrow with her other babysitter.

I had to call and cancel both today.

I am keeping all my fingers and toes crossed that no one else gets sick and that everyone

will be healthy by next week, because Eric and I are off to Hawaii with Dane for 5 days on February 3. No one wants to go on vacation sick or watch a sick kid.

Got Milk?

She's her father's daughter in so many ways:

But it's her love of milk that stood out to me today.

You would NEVER catch me doing this, but I have seen her dad do it a time or two...

It's the first thing she asks for when she wakes up in the morning and would really love it if she could just drink milk all day and not eat anything.

We go through 4 gallons of milk in about 10 days between the two of them.

We've recently started to read the Book of Mormon as a family. So far, Megan likes to run around while I read, or sit with her own book and tells me to be quite while she "reads" (A.K.A. talks a lot of nonsense). We even busted out the Book of Mormon Stories book so she could look at pictures while we read. I'm hoping it will get better, but it's kind of a zoo right now. Any suggestions on how to make family scripture reading a little more enjoyable for a toddler would be much appreciated!

I had to get a shot of my two cuties after church before they changed their clothes. I made the skirt and Dane's tie. They were just too cute in their coordinating outfits.

6 month old!

(I know I am almost a month late taking these, but better late than never, right?!)

January 22, 2010

Already trying to text his numerous girlfriends...

Dinner!

January 20, 2010

While I was making these...

(They are oreo truffles and oh so addicting!)

She was doing this:

Shoving as many "puffies" in his mouth as he could eat.

Such a helper, that girl!

Megan is peacefully eating her lunch at the counter.

I decide it's a good time to feed Dane.

With my back turned for not more than 5 minutes,

Megan manages to find and open 3 suckers.

A day off from work means time to play!

So off to the Children's Museum we went...

(The earthquake display was a HUGE hit)

My boys

One project down, two to go!

Sew much to do, sew little time...

I love going to the fabric store. So much possibility in one place.

I went to get some fabric for a blanket I am making for my sister-in-law's # 3 girl due in April

and couldn't help but get some for myself.

Girls just want to have fun!

He found his toes and apparently they are delicious!

"Blow the candle out my dear, and make your wish come true..."

Dear Costco Dino-nuggets,

Thank you for keeping my pickey eater, Megan, alive.

Love, Jen

We love it when Grandpa and Grandma come to visit!

January 9, 2010

We celebrated a few days early since his parents were in town this weekend.

(Also this is my first attempt with fondant and making a "themed" cake.)

January 8, 2010

From start...

To finish...

All in all, a successful night of getting the kids to bed.

It took about a half an hour and no one cried.

January 7, 2010

"I want to be a good girl!" she says to me (through her sobs) after

time-out for pushing her friend down our tile stairs.

"Puppy-dog Skin"

That's what my dad calls that extra little chub on the back of a

baby's neck that just begs to be kisssed.

January 5, 2010

Found these little gems while cleaning out my closet today. Ahhh memories...

(And no, I didn't throw them out.)

January 4, 2010

The last sparkle of Christmas at our house...

January 3, 2010

What? Your kids don't request cold pasta for breakfast?!

One of my New Year's resolutions is to find more joy in the everyday. I thought this was rather appropriate to represent that as I was sadly putting Christmas away at my house today.

Happy New Year

How did you{RING} in the new year?

Unfortunately for us, we crashed and went to bed early. Dane hasn't been sleeping well for the last week or so (poor little guy has had bronchitis) and we figured we needed to get as much sleep as we could get.

Happy 2010!
