Give away

My auntie's sis' in law has this cool blog called

My Frugal Lifestyle. There are some really great

things on there. Currently a friend of hers is

sponsoring a Scentsy give away. I myself adore

Scentsy and I think you all should check it out.

(yeah, I'm hoping to win, so sue me!)

Bib tutorial

So, I've decided to start doing some tutorials

on this new blog that I started. I just posted

one for anyone interested. Click here to check

it out. Maybe this is dumb but I was in desperate

need of some of these!

And...they're off!

The girls started school on Monday (technically
Thursday but I'm not counting last week)
For those of you who didn't know, our school
is year round. So only 6 weeks of summer. To
tell you the truth, 6 weeks was all they could
handle!

It's so weird that Caitlin is in kindergarten now.
She was only 22 months old when we moved here.
And now......I did get a little choked up this morning
watching her walk into school by herself...well, Ev was
there too but I'm over that now. I feel like my life is
perma-fastforward.

On a side note, do you know what I just realized? I'm
going to be a mom of 5 in less than 5 weeks!!! I'm sort
of freaking out about it. I guess it'll be okay...right?

Bloggy shop thing

For some reason I have a lot of pent up creative

juices flowing. So I set up a blog shop. I pretty much

have no idea what I'm doing so if any of you have tips

I sure would enjoy the feed back. I really enjoy sewing

and I felt like I needed an outlet (of sorts), but seriously

I don't need most of what I'm doing hence the blog shop!

Don't laugh....it's not nice. :)

Big Spider Belly

This picture is for you Laura! Oh and I just know
that all of you have been dying to see my fatness!
Take a good look because I probably won't post any
more until after the baby.

James loves laughing at my shapely exterior these
days. He likens me to a spider. Small head, legs, arms
BIG belly. He thinks he's SO clever. Evelyn told me the
other day that I look a lot like Santa Clause....I don't
quite know what to think about that. Ah well, in about
8 weeks I'll get to hold the little guy causing my
Jabba the Hut figure. Woo hoo!! Wish me luck.

The coolest lady I know!

This post is to brag on my awesome mom a little.
For the past couple of years this crazy, wonderful
woman has dealt with: teenagers, a twice deployed
husband, church callings, and life in general. On top
of all that she was attending school full time.

In May she graduated with honors from nursing school!
Yesterday she informed me that she is finally an official
nurse because (drum roll please) she passed her boards.
Yay!!

She has been such a strength and inspiration to me
all my life and I am so proud of her! (dirty hormones, now
I'm misting) Way to go mom! Oh....and happy birthday!

It's summer!!

Call me a blog slacker...I openly admit to it!
Summer's here folks and we've been:
Smoring,

Gardening (yah it's weedy but I am
getting rather large these days),

and strawberry jamming.

I should mention that I took a a few belly pictures
yesterday and when I actually looked at them I
couldn't see myself just this ginormous, big bellied
person. So I discarded them...I'll try again tomorrow.
Happy Summer people!
