I know it's been a while since I updated or blogged, I have had such a busy couple of months. I will be posting some pictures in this post for family and friends who have asked me to, I don't have all the weeks for Adriana here on the computer so I am just uploading the ones that I did download onto the computer for assignments. I hope you enjoy these. I will upload our valentine's day pictures tonight, resize and post those here tomorrow, they are so cute! Okay here are those pictures (of the whole family of course, recent to older photos)...
Adriana is 36 weeks this week and I will upload those pictures soon to, here is last weeks and so on...
Adriana is 29 weeks in these pictures, we took in San Francisco on our way to BIL's house.
That is all the pictures of the family I have on the computer right now, I will get those Valentine's Day ones up tomorrow.
Here is some randomness-
* Dustin is now home with us more, he quit his night job. It's been so nice having him home with us at night and on the weekends, we have done so many family things.
* Austin will be doing his second year of little league soon, he is all signed up and we got him all his gear. He is getting so excited. Dustin has been practicing with him at the park while I walk Adri and Aidan rides his bike.
* I have been doing great with my workouts and walking. I have walked everyday this week and then some. I am determinded to have all the Adri baby weight off by this summer. I am also eating so good, lots of stemmed veggies (Even the boys like them)and home cooked meals.
* My Mom and Dad helped complete the furniture in Adriana's room, they got her this crib
and this matching dresser (it matches well with my Making Memories Embellishment center I got for Christmas, I might have to get one to go in her room too) :)
I will post pictures of her room soon.
* Stephenie Meyer fans, did you see "Breaking Dawn" the last book in the twilight series comes out on Aug 2nd, so go preorder your books at amazon now :) Also her other new book "The Host" will be out in a couple months, I can not wait!
I have been reading so much lately and I LOVE it! If you have read any good books lately please post/comment them here. I am starting "The girls guide to hunting and fishing" after seening the movie "Suburban Girl" with one of my favorite actresses of all time "Sarah Michelle Gellar" (think Buffy the vampire slayer)I just had to get the book, the movie is one of the stories from this book. Oh speaking of movies/books, one of my all time favorite books "The lovely bones" by Alice Sebold, started filming and AJ (from Aly and Aj)is in it. I Can't wait to see that and of course Twilight when it's finished filming.
* I have seen alot of good movies (netflix) this last month too, In the land of Women, The waitress, Suburban Girl, We own the night, I LOVE LOVE LOVED Sydney White and will own it soon lol.
* I have been super busy with my SB work too, I will make a post next with all my recent layouts and cards I have made and not posted. It's ALOT lol.
Okay well I need to end this post, sorry it took so long to post.

Quick post
I thought I would make a quick post tonight. Things have been pretty busy around here with the holidays and all, I am sure things will be back to normal in a couple weeks :) Here are some more 26 week pictures I took of Adri this last week.
I got the headband from walmart and the flower is from an etsy store, I think it's called pink owl creations, I posted about it on the blog, I think it's a few posts down lol. I have lots to post about, I will be back this weekend for a real update, in the mean time here are some of my assignments for LRS, I got an email from Terri on Wednesday saying the gallery was going up so I thought I would post them here too :)
Okay I'll be back this weekend :)
Nightie night,

It's been a while...
WOW! I can not believe how fast time flies. I have been so busy with family and home projects, plus Design Team projects :) Speaking of DT projects, I thought I would share my two project/layouts I did for Creative Xpress last month (they are in this months CX Academy under Tutorials). This first one I had to solve these design challenges... It must have circular Composition, the title must take up no more then 25% of the page, must use warm color palette, must use three photos and it must be a fall theme.
This second layout was an inspirations layout, Christmas/Holiday themed, using the new Provo Craft Style paper assortments...
It was so much fun to do these assignments and I was a little nervous at first with it being the new girls on the DT's first assignment. You should go see the amazing work the DT did, I am so blessed to be on a team with such great, fun, and caring gals! Not to mention, talented! :) I just finished up my second assignments for CX last week, so I can't wait to shows those to you at the end of the month. I just got my goodies for my next assignments so I will be working on those and my Kit for LRS that should be here Monday (I hope) and I will be pretty busy with that too. Fun stuff!
Things here at home are really good, with the weather being so rainy, D has been home with us more during the day and we all have been enjoying that. Things are a little tight for us this month (it's like that every December) with him having more time off from his second job. We have all the major bills this month, Car insurance bill, we had an IRS bill and property taxes (yikes lol, comes with owning a new home). We also got talked into doing this gift exchange between family members which I guess would be fun, but we never go to it each year, D is always working (like he will be this year) and I never go. My MIL picks up the boys and takes them but that is it. Well the idea is you get someones name out of a list of family members and their card of two things they would want and a spending amount of $50 or more. That is fine but, I would much rather spend that amount of money getting Dustin a gift and the same goes for him with me. Instead this year we will be doing our (between him and me) gift exchange in January because we had to do this family exchange thing. I don't really get this whole gift exchange thing either, this year mostly everyone just asked for GC to their favorite stores, would it not be better just to not do this and go down to the store you want the GC from and get what you want? Instead of you getting the GC you asked for and the person you got getting the GC they asked for. I think this kinda thing should only be for the kids and only if you want to give them a gift. I think the most important part about the night is just spending the time with the family not the gifts. We already decided that we will not be doing this again next year. We just do not have the funds to be purchasing gifts like that for other people, then our kids and eachother for Christmas. Every year I end up making handmade gifts for my folks and MIL because things are so tight this time of year. Last year we ended up giving grandparents and family members framed pictures of the kids and I made canvas clocks for our parents, because this is what WE can do for other family members.
Anyways sorry to get of on a rant about that, it's just what has been on my mind and stressing me out a bit right now, that and I need to come up with something I can do for D this month. I know we said we were not going to do anything for eachother until January but I still want to do something nice for him, KWIM? I was thinking of doing something that involves the three kids, I am just not sure what. If you have any ideas please let me know :)
Lets see, things that have happened since last I posted. Well we fixed up the boys room and it looks great thanks to the help from my folks for the boys new beds and Austin's new desk (early Christmas gift for the boys) and we ALL got a chance to help out with the painting of their room. D and I did the top color and the boys helped their dad do the bottom color (both blues) and their is a white stripe that goes through the middle. My mother helped with the trim. She was so sweet and came over to help with all the trim. Their bedspreads and sheets match the walls only they have hints of green through out them, so their room colors are, two shades of blues, two shades of greens and white. Here is a picture so you can kinda see what I am talking about lol.
There is still a few things we need to finish in there but iut is coming along great! Lets see what else, Austin lost his first tooth and got $3 from the tooth fairy lol, which we made a deal with him if he did his chores then we would picth in $3 more and he could get a starwars action figure. He also learned to ride his bike without the training wheels and kicks BUTT at it! Aidan is doing great, he loves working in his kindergarten workbook we got for him and he is learning so much! Adriana is growing up so fast, I can not believe she is already 6 months old :( where did my baby go? She is doing so much now, she walks around in her walker, she is starting to crawel now, she has a favorite blanket. When she goes to sleep she likes to put this blanket over her head, no matter how many times we pull it away she will put it back, so we have to wait until she is asleep to pull it away. I did this when I was little to, it made me feel safe. Another thing I have noticed to is that she likes to twirl her fingers in my hair, and she is so sweet with it, I did the same thing and I still do it when I am nervous, bord or am watching tv lol.
I know I got behind on the pictures so I will post them all in this post, I am missing the 22 week pictures, they are already burned on a CD and It's not labeled so I did not want to go through them all, sorry lol, I am being lazy :) Well I better get off this thing and go spend sometime with Dustin, we have a couple movies to watch that we rented from netflix. Here are the pictures...
Here is one of my boy ;)
And one more of my silly, muddy boy!
Okay Night all!

Adri 21 Week pictures
Here are Adriana's 21 week pictures.
lol she still does not like tummy time for to long....see lol
I took these on Friday, Nov 2 , when she turned 21 weeks. I dressed her back up in her black onsie and her black hairclip. I need to get her more hair clips and head bands for babies (I have only found them for girl's not babies :( ) She is doing really good. She is 12 pounds now and can still fit in her size 0-3 month clothes but we are now buying here 3-6 months and she can fit into them they are just a little big on her. I think this will be her size for a while. The bummer thing about this is she has hardly any winter clothes. all her winter clothes are 6-9 month clothes (which she should be in now if she was born weighing what we though she would be lol (7-8 lbs like most newborns these days). So we need to get her some winter clothes in 3-6 month sizes. She is now tucking her legs under and trying to push off into a crawl when on her tummy and she has gotten so much more faster with her back crawling lol. She has gotten into a stage now where she can not sleep or nap unless I am laying next to her, she likes to watch me lay there, her eyes moving all around my face or just looking into my eyes. So a few times during the day I have to lay down with her until she falls asleep. I love it! She is always so happy, hardly ever crys and she is babbling so much now. We make her laugh when we blow raspberry kisses on her tummy. One of her favorite things to do right now is touch our hair lol. when I lean over her and my hair falls in her face or I am blowing raspberries on her tummy she will touch it so gentle and coo at it lol. She also loves to touch our faces, she touches so soft and gentle, never hitting, poking or pulling, this is so different from the boys lol, they both use to scratch, poke and pull our faces lol. She is such a good baby!
Thanks for letting me share :)
