Happy Birthday Buddy

Last week we celebrated this little guys 2nd birthday. I am still in ah at how fast time flies. Every day I look at him expected to see a baby but realizing that he is no longer one. On his birthday we had to wait until Dad got home before he could open presents, Morgan was very anxious. The BIG hits were the duplo's (from Grandma S.) and the tricycle. He didn't even want to stop playing to come for cake and ice cream. It has now been a week and they are still getting played with. Both morgan and David can peddle the trike all by themselves, and they are very proud of that fact!

David is such a sweet little guy to have around. He is the peace maker of the family. Any time Morgan throws a fit because he has something she wants, he will gladly sacrifice it for her. He is always looking out for everyone. The other night we went on a walk and Jared, Morgan and David all ran ahead, he kept running back to me and would grab my hand and say "mon mom." He was making sure I was okay and not being left behind. I don't know what I would do without little David to keep everyone happy and smiling!

The bare necessities

This is the way that we enjoy soaking up the sun!!!

Who wants to mess with clothes, they just get in the way and give you funky tan lines. We prefer going all natural.

Something to keep me busy

So I recently decided that I am going to start selling some of my creations. So I signed up for the local "Bonney Lake Days" and also for the "Brigham City Peach Days" for booths to sell some of my stuff. Here are just a few of my recent creations for your viewing pleasure. Let me know what you think. If you think I have a marketable skill.

Okay so I am not a photographer by any means, but I think you kinda get the idea.

This little guy only looks all sweet and innocent.

Don't let that smile fool you, . . he is naughty. He recently discovered how to take off his diaper. When he has a poopy diaper, he takes it off. I have had to clean up poo off many a blankets, carpet, clothes etc... When I put him to bed I always have to check on him later to make sure he is still clothed which 90% of the time he is not.

The other day I had just the screen door shut and locked (I had no idea he could unlock it). I was cleaning the bathroom and had to go get something. I looked out the door to see David across the street in the neighbors driveway.

Our yard and deck are all fenced in, but David or course can unlatch the gate and get out. Every chance he gets he's unlatched it and is half way down the street before I even notice he's gone. I bought a paddle lock to go on the gate so I don't have to worry about him running away, . . . Wrong! He climbs over the gate (I have no idea how he does it, because there is no where to put his feet, the slats are vertical).

Today he climbed onto the counter and got into all the vitamins and opened a CHILD PROOF bottle and started eating them. Not to mention the locks on all the cupboards he just yanks on them until they break, or the child locks that go on the doorknob he just pulls them off.

This kids is unstoppable.

The count down is officially on! So my official due date is Aug 3, but mark my words I WILL HAVE THIS BABY IN JULY! I have been given a recipe for a "Chocolate Caster oil shake," (sounds delicious doesn't it?!) and have been assured that it will put me into labor.
So as much as I LOVE being pregnant the weeks are limited til I will be able to sleep on my stomach, see my toes, sleep without having to take a potty break every hour and NO MORE HEARTBURN!!
Truth be told I am very anxious to hold my new baby. It's crazy how I can be so baby hungry when I have one moving around inside me all day, not to mention that I still have my baby Davey (he's still a baby, Right?).

Our Latest Happenings

Wow these past couple of weeks have flown by. I don't know if it's spring fever or "nesting" instincts but I have had this itch to get things De-cluttered, cleaned, organized, and improved. Just to give you an idea of what we have been up to. . . .

I was trying to find a crib set that would match Morgan's comforter, because they are going to be sharing a room. I looked and looked and didn't find anything that I really liked or was a close enough match. So I decided I would make my own. I bought the fabric and made the crib comforter and the skirt. It wasn't until I was done that I realized they didn't match at all. The pink and brown were both VERY off. So I made one for Morgan's bed too.

I haven't set the crib up yet so don't have a picture of the whole thing. The bumper and diaper stacker are still a work in progress though.

Then I made some sheets and curtains for David's room (sorry I don't have pictures of that).

I've cleaned out every closet in the house along with the kids toy chests, the laundry room, cupboards etc...

I took out about half of the kids toys that never get played with, they just somehow end up all over the floor, and moved David in with the toys. Now I have a craft/office room.

Jared has been working on a big project in our front yard. He is not near being done but here's what we have so far, It went from this. . . .

To this. . . .

When he is finished getting all the brick up and the dirt in place, then we have to plant grass and flowers, YAY!!

We made me a garden, which I planted on Saturday. My first garden hopefully it will turn out. I planted beans, peas, tomatoes, and peppers. If anyone has some helpful hints I would love to hear them.

We put in a sandbox for the kids. . .

I painted all my kitchen cupboards white, they were all an ugly yellowish off-white, and the trim above the cupboards I painted red.

And I rented a carpet cleaner and cleaned all the carpet in my house and re-arranged the furniture!

And somehow there is still LOTS more I need/want to get done before this baby arrives.

Happy Anniversary to my one and only. 4 Years of bliss, with many more to follow. I couldn't have asked for a better person to spend my life with. I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be than right here, making memories with the one I love!
