Success!!!

Today we ventured into the ideal and unrealistic world we only dream of with our 3 & 1.5 year old kids. Yes, we took them out to eat at a sit down place. Now we didn't test out PFChang's or somewhere like that, but we did test out Gilden Corral and succeeded! Instant food was the key ti success! We went, we ate, we conquered! This gives us hope go out with family for celebrations or get togethers. Oh how awesome are the little triumphs!

Iron men

The little gits just LOVE super heroes right now. And it doesn't matter who they just like to fly, go to the rescue, and help others. So tonight we dressed up like iron man and learned a little about armor. They had lots of fun and it only cost a few nickles!

Now if only we could understand how prayer, scripture study, service, and other commandments of God are armor too, and they protect us from the harm of sin & the world.

We're back from the dead...

Jacob & I caught a cold a couple weeks ago and then last week Will caught it. But to add taking Jake to the ER last week because he was having great difficulty breathing and finding out he jad some pneumonia, i failed my glucose test and had to take the 3 hour test - which i failed again. So i had to attend a diabetes class and learn how to test my blood sugar. I'm also on a strict diet that i have to record and take to my CNM appointments like a homework assignment. It's a big hassel and it makes me really feel bad for ppl w/diabetes and also grateful that i'm not diabetic in non-pregnant life.

So now we're basically all better! The Lord really pulled us thru this one with all the needs of sick kids while i'm sick and have to begin a new regimen. It truly is real that the Lord will make a way for us to accomplish the things he commands us and that are good priorities (1 Nephi 3:7 from the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ).

Harvest time

We have been so busy this past couple of weeks. But it has been so much fun! We learned about pumpkins and harvest time and made some pumpkin faces instead of jack-o-lanterns. Those will be for this coming week as we continue with our halloween and harvest time fun! Jake just loves to weat his mask and "scare" will!

Baby bump update week 27

Wow! Just can't believe how big i've gotten in the past 2 weeks. Andrew is really starting to get active when he's awake and then become angry when he's woken up in the middle of the night by his 2 brothers! They really like to jump in bed with mom & dad and snuggle us off our pillows and then off the edge of the bed! Hahaha! Everything is going well and we're both healthy as can be. This week i'll do the gestational diabeties test so that'll be fun ... Ha ha huh.

Dinosaur feet

This week we were so excited about dinosaurs i made the boys some dinosair slippers. They also serve to keep their feet warm as it gets colder. But we has lots of fun learning about patterns, how Jesus is our pattern in life, and having great things happen from following a pattern!

The Lion King in 3D

Hahaha! Last night i stayed up and finished sewing jacob's lion costume and couldn't wait til they woke up this morning to put the costumes on the boys. They are so cute as Scar and Simba! A few adjustments need to be made but i'm so excited they both have lion costumes now. I just LOVE sewing and creating things with my sewing machine and fabric ... It's gonna be my unofficial second career this decade.

I never want to stop learning and developing talents i've been given by the Lord. The more i've learned about anatomy & physiologly the more i've been interested in dressing that body in a modest and flattering manner. The more i learn of modesy designing & garment construction the more i'm interested in history and learning of ancient ppl, their civilizations, and how their obedience or disobedience to the Lord's commandments affected them. And the list continues on and on. All things are connected and teach other subjects.
