It's been a LONG time!!

Thanks for all your patience. I have had a lot of people email to see if everything was okay and I appreciate those emails. I have been really tired but everyday it gets better and better. I feel like this could be a productive week. :) If you could only see my laundry piles!! Eeek!

Here is the newest addition to our home. Her name is Molly and she is 5 1/2 months old. She is teething now so everything is getting slobbered on. We love her and can't wait for the puppy stage to end. Isn't she a cutie!!

Sorry, I am sooo tired!

Yes, I am back from Convention and it was amazing! I had a great time and am trying to get caught back up on sleep. I'm so tired that I can't get motivated. Next week I will be looking at the calendar and hosting an Open House so you all can see the NEW CATALOG!! I will update more this weekend. Hang tight!

POSITIVE RESULTS!

It is official we will be adding a new addition to our family! We have known for a little bit but confirmed it today. We will be due at the beginning of March. I have felt a little more tired but feel great otherwise. We are very excited. Please pray for me and the new baby. We have a Dr. here in Clay Center and are going to try to keep this as normal as possible. I have been high risk with the boys b/c of Graycee. I will update you throughout the pregnancy.

Convention is just around the corner!!

So I am leaving early on Monday morning and headed to Salt Lake City Utah. I am very excited, nervous, and anxious. I have only left my children one other time for two days with Grandma JJ and now they will have them until the following Sunday. Daddy is looking forward to catching up on his movies and sleep :)

Here is the card that I created for swapping with other demonstrators. I have 96 of these completed and tonight I will be creating 10 2-page layout boy themed scrapbook pages. I will probably not be able to post anything from Convention either b/c I will be too busy or not have computer access.

I will probably be at Convention when my blog hits a whopping 1,000 views!! Thanks to all you viewers! So for that I will also be picking up some blog candy as a thank you. So to enter the blog candy giveaway tell me what your favorite family tradition is... (hence I am trying to find one for my lil family!) I look forward to reading your traditions.

Okay, Okay family pics!

So I have had some people request to see my lil guys! So here is a few of them. I went downstairs the other day b/c the boys were being WAY TO QUIET!! Then I saw the shredded paper everywhere.

Owen finished his season running the bases, FINALLY! He loved it so much and every time we drive by he says, "Mom that is my baseball game"

Miles is getting so big and really has an attitude. He knows how to push buttons and has a short fuse. (I have NO idea where that comes from)

*On a SU note* Convention is 2 weeks away!! I will be creating 150 cards, 25 clear envelope brag books, and 25 pieces of cake. If you are not planning on doing anything NEXT Wed. and want to stamp, eat, and chat come over and help me out! We will start the party at 7pm. I have 2 gals coming so far!! Thanks ladies!
