February Projects

Here's what I have been up to the last 2 weeks. Poor Eric, the house is pretty pink right now.

My cute pillows! Yes, I made them:)

I love all the wreaths made out of flowers that you see around this time of year. I could never afford to make one of those and it would be ugly and dead after a few days anyway. So, I made this wreath out of felt!! How awesome is that?! It looks like flowers and it will never die! I love it!!

Our Cowgirl

Tessa loves hats and shoes! She especially loves wondering around the house in Adam's shoes. She can get them on without any help and for our independent little girl, that is important! She threw a 20 minute fit yesterday because she couldn't get her own shoes on and refused to let me help her. I think I am in trouble! Her favorite words right now are "no" and "mine". Heaven help us!

She loves walking around the house with hats over her eyes and face-don't ask me why!

Adam's First Primary Talk

Adam gave his first talk in Primary today. He did such a good job and shocked us all by having most of it memorized this morning. Some of our favorite parts were when he announce to everyone that he bumped his nose on the microphone and when he said "fogether toever" instead of "together forever". We are so proud of our little Sunbeam!! This video is us practicing before church.

Bed Time!!

Having fun getting ready for bed. They love to brush their teeth.

"All growed up"

We hear "I'm all growed up" all to often these days, and it is true, he is growing up! Adam is loving being a Sunbeam and can hardly wait for Sunday to roll around. We love hearing him sing his new favorite primary songs-he loves the birthday songs!

I know I have been spoiled with children who nap really well. Sadly, Adam's napping days are over. He is 3 1/2, so it is time. While I am going to miss having a couple hours free in the afternoons, I am looking forward to spending some one on one time with my Bug-a-boo. He is trying to learn the alphabet in Sign Language, so that is what we are working on these days. His new favorite thing is "Play-doh". He waits until Tessa takes her nap before he gets it out and then his imagination goes wild! I love listening to him play!

Today he made cupcakes for about an hour and a half. You can tell who likes to help me in the kitchen!

Dress Up

The other day the house was suddenly too quiet and I knew that must mean someone by the name of Tessa must be up to trouble. I found her in my closet trying on shoes. She loves shoes! (She calls them "bye bye's".) When she tries to get the shoes on, she always lifts her leg up to reach the shoe instead of taking the shoe to her foot-it's pretty funny to watch.

A Merry Christmas!

~Christmas Day 2009~

Santa brought Adam a t-ball set!

Santa brought Tessa a "wee"!

A new baby to love from mommy and daddy.

What he has been asking Santa for-Little Einstein toys. He was thrilled and even sleeping with them tonight.

A doctor set from Ma and Pa. He usually uses his hammer and saw when we play doctor-he was happy to get the right kind of "tools".

Tessa loved her pink car from Ma and Pa. Now she can try and keep up with her big brother.

A crib for her babies from Mamma and Bampa.

A new costume for our dress up box!

A busy, but wonderful day! We were able to visit lots of family and talk to Uncle Matt in Texas. We are grateful for our Savior who we remember this day-grateful for His humble birth and His perfect example. We realize how blessed we are to have been given the greatest gifts of all-forever families and the knowledge of the Atonement. No other gifts can compare!

Merry Christmas!!
