Hai??

It's been.. 20 days since my last post. I need to change this, because I plan on having this blog for a long time, and want to actually be able to look back on these things, which, is impossible if I never blog!!

Anyways, things have been pretty great around here. I've been spending tons of time on instagram, buying nail polish and other stuff I don't need, and trying to get little Noah walking. He isn't really interested in walking; or standing unassisted. Actually, he doesn't even want stand assisted. He had his 12 month checkup last Friday, and the doctor isn't worried, so I'm not worrying too much. He will walk when he is ready!

Cody is going to be... 5.. yes, FIVE in just over 2 weeks. Where has the time gone?! ): I've got all of his papers filled out for kindergarten, I have to drop them off on Wednesday. This Friday is his last day of school, then I have a kindergartner. He's so smart. He doesn't really listen to us, but he is excellent in school. I'd rather him be a crazy kid at home, and so good at school. His teacher told Nate that Cody is the best student she's ever had. She is ALWAYS raving about Cody. I am so so so proud of him. He got glasses last Thursday. He doesn't like keeping them on, at all. Hopefully, we can work on that. 

Here are a few pictures from the past couple weeks :)

 walking with the family!

 I never noticed the difference between cheap nail polish, and ones like Essie and OPI. Essie wins.

 My boys got me this for mothers' day :)

 We got these for Noah, and went to 3 different walmarts to find matching ones for Cody.

Busy-ish, simple weekend

This weekend was.. well.. simple, but pretty busy. On Friday, Cody had a field trip to "Petland", which is, very obviously, a pet store. I really wanted chick fil a, but they were SO packed, we ended up not eating before the field trip. Cody's teacher mentioned that she had Dion's Pizza, and Nate really wanted that, and convinced Cody he wanted pizza, too. So, we got pizza afterwards. The kids chowed, and it was delicious. Then, we went back to the other side of town, to our other mall. I got a bathing suit, a maxi dress, and an outfit to go out with the hubby on April 6th, for our night at a bed & breakfast downtown, curtosy of my brother-in-law :)

Then, we ended back up on our side of town so I could print a Hobby Lobby coupon. Then, we went back to the other side of town to Hobby Lobby, so I could pick up some yarn to make newborn hat props, and a hat for Ashley.

Here is what I finished last night:

I had a newborn session set up, and she flaked on me. Also had a maternity session, and she cancelled. I'm not sure why so many people flake on free stuff, but oh well, I guess! :/

Hello, December!

I know it's not beginning of December, and it's been here for a little while now, BUT, I'm just getting around to this. I have been busy as a bee with my business. Making cloth diapers! I've had quite a few orders lately. Not that I'm complaining, but between that and my kiddos, I don't have much time for anything else. My in-laws were in for Thanksgiving. Which, was a nice change. We usually spend Thanksgiving alone, and this year, it was full with family. It was nice. Husband and I had a few dates, and it was nice to sleep in a few days!

I decided to decorate for Christmas this year, even though we will be up in Michigan. I love decorating, and I did for Halloween, so I figured why not. My mother-in-law got a groupon for a 10.00 picture package with Santa, so we did that while Nate was at work one day. The camera was broken, of course. I asked if I could take some of my own, and she said I could. They got it working, so my mother-in-law could get her coupons worth. I took a whole bunch by myself, though. I also set Noah's room up for Christmas card pictures. They came out pretty cute for bedroom studio pictures.

I've definitely decided that I love taking pictures, and I think they turn out really well. I don't "edit" hardly ANY of my photos anymore. I thought of making a facebook photography page, just for fun. I just enjoy doing it, and don't need to make it a business, but just a hobby.
