Keeping me busy

Here are a few things that have been keeping me pretty busy lately. Nothing that I HAVE to do, but I am pretty limited on things I CAN do since I have zero energy. I have had some of this material for awhile so I thought I would put it to good use.

The boys LOVE the movie Cars, so I made them both some new Pajama Pants. Boston was SO proud of these!

I was going to make the new baby a little rag quilt, so I figured now was as good a time as any. So I went over to Hobby Lobby and got this cute material. It's hard to get the fullness of the cuteness in a picture, but it turned out good.

Landen saw that I had this Moose material and he said he HAD to have a Moose blanket like his Uncle Sage, so I made this one for him. He loves it and says it's just so snuggly!

This is just a Christmas one, but Boston has kinda taken ownership of this one. He has another blanket that takes priority over everything, but he will use this one occasionally, which is a big thing for him.

I love making the rag quilts, but here in AZ we just don't need them for actual warmth really. So I will probably see how cold it starts to get, then start sewing some more!

(The Pj pants and rag quilts are the only thing I know how to make!)

Baby Shower & A Little Bit of Halloween

My sister Autumn and my Sis-in-law Kelly threw me a baby shower a couple weeks ago. It was lots of fun and I got some super cute stuff. Thanks to everyone for coming and for my sis's for all the work they put into it! I think Autumn made about 200 cupcakes!!!

I didn't take any pictures during the shower (don't know what I was thinking), but here are the pics of the set-up.

Loved the clothesline with the clothes!

Gift Table

Yummy Food!

SUPER CUTE Diaper Cake that Autumn made!

The Baby Shower decorations were so cute I didn't want to take them down, but the boys were excited to start decorating for Halloween. So literally 2 days after the shower decorations came down, the Halloween ones went up. Of course it looks WAY cooler in person and in the dark, but camera's don't do so well in the dark. You will get the gist of it.

These ones will eventually go outside in front, but since we put them up 1 1/2 weeks before October, we figured we would just wait a little longer till they went outside.

Hard to see, but it's all covered in cobwebs.

Again it looks much cooler in the dark, and the banister is covered in cobwebs, which you can't see.

Just thought I would give a dark one a go.

At first Landen was set on being a Ninja turtle, but now he is set on being a ghost. I already made his costume so no going back now. Boston was also going to be a Ninja turtle, but he wants to wear Landen's giraffe costume from last year. Can you say SUPER EASY HALLOWEEN!

Luau

My cousin Jillene is leaving tomorrow for BYU Hawaii and we went to a going away Luau for her this past weekend. It went really well and the boys had a blast!
I took mostly video but here are a few pictures of the boys in their Hawaiin get-up.

Landen and his weird faces.

Cute little Boston



A couple of studs.

Here's a video of Landen doing one of the Tongan dances, He LOVED it!

Ninja turtle

I am hoping that this...

Turned into this......

and this....
will eventually become what will be a couple of awesome ninja turtle shells. Landen loves ninja turtles and that's what him and Boston want to be for Halloween. Landen has to be Leo of course. I looked online for costumes, but they are so expensive and they look so cheap! SO we are home making some ninja turtles.
Wish us luck.

Under the knife, kid style

A couple weeks ago Landen had ear surgery on his left ear. He had a congenial cholestoma (sp?). It's an extra piece of skin in his eardrum that crystalized and would get bigger. It was an outpatient surgery and only took about an hour and a half. Landen was a trooper!! ALL the nurses just LOVED him!!! He was being so funny the whole time. He really did great.

Landen waiting in the wait room and he loved it cause there was animal stuff everywhere.

Landen in his cute hospital gown and ninja turtle socks.

(Look at those banana legs!!)

He loved waiting in this chair during pre-op and had everyone laughing!


Just being silly

Cute bum!

He kept taking pics of the nurses and his ninja turtle socks.

Here is the first time we saw him after surgery. Still passed out with the IV.

When he finally woke up, he woke up SCREAMING because he didn't want a cotton ball in his ear. He cried the entire way home and for awhile after we got home. Until we got the pain medicine in him (thank you baby vicodin!), then he did much better.

Here he is waiting for the medicine to kick in.

We were so glad that he did well and that it was a relatively easy surgery. It was SO HARD sending him into the surgery room without me. But he was so brave and is doing fantastic! And thank goodness for his pediatrician that just happened to see something a little strange in his left ear at one of his checkups!

Pregnancy pic

Pregnancy pics, ugh!! But due to the requests of seeing my belly, here I am at 25 weeks. Ignore the messy hair and no makeup!!

Almost there (kinda)

I am almost 25 weeks and things are going well. The baby is fantastic, I'm just already sick of being pregnant. I sound like such a horrible person when I say how much I hate being pregnant. I don't really like any part of it, except for when I deliver the baby. Don't get me wrong, I am very excited for our little girl to be a part of our family, I am just having a hard time getting to that point. I just need to count my blessings. I am very thankful that we have such an easy time getting pregnant and that we have such healthy babies and pregnancies. I suppose I just don't like feeling limited in what I can do physically, (not to mention the ridiculous weight gain!) I had Landen when he was 38 weeks and Boston when he was 37 weeks, so if I keep that in mind, I only have 12 or 13 weeks left. Almost there, almost there, almost there.
