Blue Sticker Day!

Living in a small town has it's advantages an disadvantages. I love how queit and laid back it feels, and i love that i can look out my back window and see the mountains. One of the major downsides of living in a small town is the lack of a decent priced grocery store and any other store for that matter! So we often end up driving to "town" (Idaho Falls) every week or so to pick up groceries and other essentials. This Friday is Blue Sticker Day! Alex has a dentist appointment so there is a blue sticker on Friday that has tooth brushes and the appointment information. Alex bribed Kymber into eating her dinner the other night by telling her that he would take her to the pet store if she ate all her "nu-num!" Well it worked so we have been counting down the days to the blue sticker on the calender! One thing i hate about only having one day to return to civilization is the fact that all those little errands that should take place through out the week all need to be packed into one day! It is exahausting! This Friday Alex has his appointment, Jenny and I are going to see Dear John (yea!), we need to do some bank stuff, we have to squeeze in a trip to the pet store, we are celebrating Kristine's 15th birthday with dinner, cake and presents at mom's (that girl is growing up too fast!), then we need to go grocery shopping! Whew! I really wanted to go pick out fabric for the girls Easter dresses too, but i don't see that happening on this trip! Maybe I can make a special trip for that this next week! I am pretty excited for Blue Sticker day though, even though it is shaping up to be a long hectic day (except fo the movie!) it is always nice to get to town and see my family and have a break from the normal day to day things at home!

A Much Needed Break!

So Alex has had to work ALOT lately which isn't fun for any of us but this weekend was especially hard! He worked all day on both Saturday and Sunday! I hate when he gets forced to work Sunday! My girls are still sick so i didn't go to church either, but the next thing i knew i was all showered and dressed and the girls and i were in the car headed for Idaho Falls and Grandma Wendy's house! I couldn't stand being home alone anymore so we spent the day at Mom's house! It felt so nice to get out and be around other gorwn ups! Mostly we just sat and relaxed or played with the girls but mom and I decided to do a little project later that evening! We made a few of these super cute flowers! Kristine and my mom are going to show the rest of the girls in her young women's group how to make them for mutual on Tuesday, so we made a few samples! They were so fun and easy to make! You can glue them on a clip to make a cute hair flower for little girls or you could glue it to pin to put on a bag or something! It felt good to take some time and be creative! Later that night Jenny and Trever came over and we played Wii for a while and visited! Jen is such a cute little pregnant lady! I can't wait to see her sweet baby boy! I feel much better after having a short trip! Thanks for the fun Mom!

While i was at Mom's house my grandma called and i answered the phone so I got to talk to her for a while! She said something about Alex and I going to Maui and I realized that I hadn't posted that we booked our trip! We are going April 14 through the 21! We had to move it up because there were no rooms available at any hotels in May! I'm so excited I can hardly wait! I

Cabin Fever

I am pretty sure that i am about to go crazy, if i'm not already! The girls and I have been sick since Saturday night and i havn't left the house since! We all have a yucky crackly cough, stuffy runny noses (i can not tell you how sick i am of wiping boogers!), and all my muscles and joints are acky and so i'm guessing that the girls feel the same! I have seen enough Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and "Pat Pat Show" (The Little Einstiens) to last forever! I can't wait till we all feel better and all the snow is gone so that we can finally get outside! At least i have something to look forward to! In May Alex and I are hopefully going to be able to go to Maui all by ourselves for our 4th anniversary! We haven't had much time to ourselves since Kymber was born! I can't wait to go and spend sometime alone with my best friend and just relax!

Big Girl and "Valentimes" Day!

So Kymber is going to be 3 at the end of April! I can't believe how fast that girl has grown up! She is doing amazing with her potty training! The only time that we have problems is when i try and put a pull up on her for bed! She doesn't want to take off her princess panties to put the pull up on! I finally decided that it wasn't worth it to fight with her over it so i just wait till she falls asleep and then i change her!

One of Alex's best friends has a little girl named Kaitlyn that is Kymber's age! Kaitlyn gave Kymber a Tinker Bell valentine and stickers! Kymber wanted to give Kaitlyn a "Valentime" too! So i helped her make some! We used my awesome Cricut that i got for Christmas (thanks again Al!) they were so easy to make and i think they turned out pretty cute! Kymber picked out the papers and helped me glue a few together before she got bored and went to play! She helped stick the suckers in and they were done!

She loved handing out her "Valentimes" to her friends and all of her cousins! I had so much helping her make them! She is such a sweet little girl and we are so lucky to have her in our family!

It's About Time!

So i finally started a blog! My mom is going to be so proud of me! I will try to keep up on it but i'm not a very good blogger!
