Guess What

I guess now is as good a time as ever. Baby #3 is on its way!!!!! We are very excited. I am 14 weeks along and feeling good. When we told our girls, Savannah couldn't stop smiling and hugging me. It was pretty cute. The due date is Nov. 3oth, which seems so far away at this point, but I am sure once summer activities start time will go quickly. I am very excited to find out the gender - only six more weeks.

Easter Dresses 2010

Even though Easter was on General Conference, I still decided to make dresses for my girl's. I took the extra week and they wore them yesterday. I just have to share the pictures because these just might be my favorite so far.

Here it is. Of course there is two, but they are just the same.

I love this part of the dress. Instead of doing regular ricrac around the dress, I found these cute little flowers. So fun.

And here are my girls. So cute! The dresses look even better on. The best part is how excited they were to wear their dresses. I ironed them on Sat. and put them in their closet. Then on Sunday morning Savannah woke up and immediately got their dresses down and laid them on their beds, ready to wear after breakfast. Savannah even let me curl her hair, a rare occasion these days.

Sadly Daddy was on call so he did not get to see them in their dresses. But I am sure there will be many more chances.

Good News

The mouse trap worked. We set it out that night and the next morning it was caught. Poor Savannah thought that it was in some kind of cage so we could let it go outside. I had to carefully explain that the mouse was not alive anymore and that I am not opening the trap to see the mouse. I am glad to have it gone. We do have another trap set just in case, but so far no mouse.


We had such a great Easter weekend. The weather her in NY was beautiful. Friday and Saturday it was in the 80's so we spent a lot of time outside. The Easter bunny came on Saturday morning and brought the girls some fun tools for the garden. They are excited to help mom.

Conference was wonderful as usual. Luckily this year we were even able to watch it on our tv. The cable company here decided to carry it. We usually watch it on the computer. Savannah was very excited and even stopped to listen to quite a bit of Sat. morning session. With all the warm weather and the fun of Easter, conference, and way too many sweets, I think we wore out the kids. During the Sat. afternoon session Savannah climbed on Seth's lap and promptly fell asleep. She NEVER does this. Even when she was little she would rarely fall asleep in our arms. Then during Sun. morning session she fell asleep on my lap and slept for an hour. Of course Bella decided not to take a nap on Sunday so about 15 min before the end of conference which is about 5:45 pm our time, she had a melt down and then fell asleep in Seth's arms. We didn't let her sleep long, but Seth still enjoyed it for a little while. Here is a picture of Seth and Savannah during Sat. afternoon session.

Please leave our home

Recently we have had a very unwelcome guest in our house. A while back I noticed weird little black things on my counter ( yes very gross) every morning. Sadly to say I finally did some research and they were either mouse droppings or cockroach droppings. This is so weird to say, but I found myself really wishing it was a mouse and not a cockroach (or many). It seems easier to rid our house of mice than cockroaches. So last night we set up the video camera on the night vision setting and went to bed. We woke up to no droppings on the counters, but after watching the video, we finally saw our little visitor. A Mouse. Gross, gross, gross. I really dislike the idea of having any little creature in my house. I really do keep a clean home, or so I thought.
The traps have been purchased and will be set tonight. I apologize to the mouse world. I am especially sorry if you have hidden cooking talents like your friend Remy, or are related to Mickey or Minnie, you just have to go. Wish us luck.

Tagged

I have been tagged. Here is the deal. You must find your 1oth photo in your first album. So here is mine.


This is obviously at the empire State Building in NY. We had just moved to NY a month earlier and my Aunt Marylee came out for the US Open. We met her down in the city for some fun site seeing. It was our first time in NYC. What a place. We had a great time.

Now I tag Wendy, Bekah, and Jen. Find your 10th photo in your first album and post away.

We are still here!

I know it has been quite a while since the last post, sorry! There are many posts coming soon I hope. The funny thing is I check our blog every few days. I don't really know why. I guess I am hoping one of these times all the things I want to post about will be there written beautifully.
Anyway, thanks to all those who keep there blogs updated. I love reading about your lives and the wonderful ideas you have.

Current Projects

Blankets for my girl's. Savannah's - top, Bella's - bottom.
I sewed together two pieces of fleece and then clipped the edges.

Fabric that will become my kitchen curtains.

This is the fabric for curtains for the girl's room. I am super excited and really hope they turn out like the picture in my mind.
