I am trying to remember that we are in God's hands and that is all that matters. But sometimes it is hard, especially during the hard times, which is often one of the most important times to remember that. <br /><br />I accidentally took my aunt's garage key home to Yakima with me (she lives in Spokane), I accidentally didn't mail someone's etsy order, I think I (or Jack) lost another Etsy order, Jack has been crying most of the night and all morning, he seems cold and I'm doing everything I can to warm him up. Mark stubbed his toe and split the toenail in half, stubbed it again and broke a toe, he was an hour late for work and now can't get the equipment he needs to do his job, got a $216 ticket on the way to work. I have no idea how we are going to pay the ticket and be able to pay rent and all the bills etc. for the rest of the year. I guess that is where faith comes in. Money is one of the hardest areas for me to have faith. Especially $200 worth. <br /><br />But we did have a good time in Spokane and I hope to get those pictures loaded soon. For now, I will try to think of happy times.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj81dsKq0kJOlzpn2wk37fomv1188CExQJvYR-jk3xb5xNM55pjZykLbd6RLBUf7TUnMj1RhRH2mwiZ_GhxN2zxSZb9zaWaMZFuDZuL_LEpU8d_Un2fAcrABUauy4GeAZTAWc2-8NMY-kzS/s1600-h/l_8cf0b3fb6af81baed4ee453a7977024d.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj81dsKq0kJOlzpn2wk37fomv1188CExQJvYR-jk3xb5xNM55pjZykLbd6RLBUf7TUnMj1RhRH2mwiZ_GhxN2zxSZb9zaWaMZFuDZuL_LEpU8d_Un2fAcrABUauy4GeAZTAWc2-8NMY-kzS/s320/l_8cf0b3fb6af81baed4ee453a7977024d.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386557424075581682" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFH11dNS-DeUu6WtAsuEmhVlkOSE0PW7zkZPQjVxN-iDNwYHf8iLE-BOrHShwIJw20IfSK65CTuYXyvev35Nq83ncK-cvcE6D1ZAw3UVC7_7AYDqZdPvLmKcqpmha13kaPDpWMQcqpcQ-A/s1600-h/l_6dc1ee61b30a50d28b8fe2b475c8b4ca.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFH11dNS-DeUu6WtAsuEmhVlkOSE0PW7zkZPQjVxN-iDNwYHf8iLE-BOrHShwIJw20IfSK65CTuYXyvev35Nq83ncK-cvcE6D1ZAw3UVC7_7AYDqZdPvLmKcqpmha13kaPDpWMQcqpcQ-A/s320/l_6dc1ee61b30a50d28b8fe2b475c8b4ca.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386557416695477730" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3OoDN9Y8euGhh4W2OlPscjjve1Oof7poLcu11sjVDXA8XEWc-KtEscXmodcP3_pXHMT48ZefRhbra4JCafNLCyP4jTVBHum7o9RS_UzdCIupnjV5e2iEBCEl8cyA2AeK8gMjkUQqLEoBt/s1600-h/l_fe3551acdb6d0b8107e25356aa58fdf3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3OoDN9Y8euGhh4W2OlPscjjve1Oof7poLcu11sjVDXA8XEWc-KtEscXmodcP3_pXHMT48ZefRhbra4JCafNLCyP4jTVBHum7o9RS_UzdCIupnjV5e2iEBCEl8cyA2AeK8gMjkUQqLEoBt/s320/l_fe3551acdb6d0b8107e25356aa58fdf3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386557407906710434" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNEzKVqGMbNT2MVfLxXue8GVR52eLxIJ1pAnqPJ71D5wPD56uLV2wAe-qHkP5ARoKdiIF4VXuFcsnXklih9BskyYZqtor8uOOVOEiT6yukvyPWvxynIZSnbVT2BuyIxxxGcUHrPJxWpdGP/s1600-h/l_93ec9254c4bd394f1d4add02cd02eed8.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNEzKVqGMbNT2MVfLxXue8GVR52eLxIJ1pAnqPJ71D5wPD56uLV2wAe-qHkP5ARoKdiIF4VXuFcsnXklih9BskyYZqtor8uOOVOEiT6yukvyPWvxynIZSnbVT2BuyIxxxGcUHrPJxWpdGP/s320/l_93ec9254c4bd394f1d4add02cd02eed8.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386557401123443986" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWii486O-e0aVxcYXBV_2rcvdIoXZN3KESF2LTl4n6DVDafuSIN8vlDlmE9Dh0m0O2qTr3u9Ium0V40Ni8vEh6uBnCnC4T6ZmV_BpYDD_BWranGF0le_TcSrJWeeKdqJGSxgHDiS5YjK1-/s1600-h/l_6af9cce65cca4664bedcb6a06e7ee79b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWii486O-e0aVxcYXBV_2rcvdIoXZN3KESF2LTl4n6DVDafuSIN8vlDlmE9Dh0m0O2qTr3u9Ium0V40Ni8vEh6uBnCnC4T6ZmV_BpYDD_BWranGF0le_TcSrJWeeKdqJGSxgHDiS5YjK1-/s320/l_6af9cce65cca4664bedcb6a06e7ee79b.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386557389834193378" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_dwjVK-ouWAn6LdisKStq8CRZVvIHp0CJotD8pEU1km7lroZ-BkE50jFxjbOJlX3eG-_PPstWuvLS9ZW5YXu-suWlPuZYp5eq0p4cLqKfTLC20efjdv_PDIO5anJ1qnzpjrq2yqiRqnDn/s1600-h/l_aaaa2909cde257258db1605e3f59b7b7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_dwjVK-ouWAn6LdisKStq8CRZVvIHp0CJotD8pEU1km7lroZ-BkE50jFxjbOJlX3eG-_PPstWuvLS9ZW5YXu-suWlPuZYp5eq0p4cLqKfTLC20efjdv_PDIO5anJ1qnzpjrq2yqiRqnDn/s320/l_aaaa2909cde257258db1605e3f59b7b7.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386558110525271122" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5352483047650582966.post-16490434210106244052009-09-05T11:36:00.000-07:002009-09-05T12:21:59.768-07:00Sorry!I know it's been a long time...but...well I don't REALLY have an excuse.

He goes to bed around 8:30 or 9, which I still think is a little late. He wakes up about 5:30 every morning wanting to be nursed then goes back to sleep until about 8. Then we get up and play around for a bit. Then he eats 2 jars of baby food (or a waffle, or toast or oatmeal or whatever we have) and some num nums (like cereal or puffs). Jack only eats organic and dairy free foods. Here is a picture of Jack at breakfast today: (and yes, he is still and jammies and yes, they are Christmas-y)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1StLbpgy86iV6NcNRVofKHkLyDw_eOE0EFFmQzHlWPm3hZg3a4MzH1HHVdfXurhFvoXxVH1xdfd6X48coj68Nm_AIcfY4jPhSF4VneeunlxzdEtjpTTRF-Hr5tHVICtQPwdzXEuwQN4qk/s1600-h/DSCF2876.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1StLbpgy86iV6NcNRVofKHkLyDw_eOE0EFFmQzHlWPm3hZg3a4MzH1HHVdfXurhFvoXxVH1xdfd6X48coj68Nm_AIcfY4jPhSF4VneeunlxzdEtjpTTRF-Hr5tHVICtQPwdzXEuwQN4qk/s320/DSCF2876.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378058173089741250" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvhR_lyUhtzgQGJ6xOE_gulAgdZamFo_MLoNs0r7aB1MaRUx9qTqSsu22TZCzoWbcVvPjFvYF1mLx-gZIAxge-L3K8m3V_iBvIgUc1PZsCTW6raCXWpH4GTd-TqpGtrnjeKz8Ma2PWzzGo/s1600-h/DSCF2890.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvhR_lyUhtzgQGJ6xOE_gulAgdZamFo_MLoNs0r7aB1MaRUx9qTqSsu22TZCzoWbcVvPjFvYF1mLx-gZIAxge-L3K8m3V_iBvIgUc1PZsCTW6raCXWpH4GTd-TqpGtrnjeKz8Ma2PWzzGo/s320/DSCF2890.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378058166953058674" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIkqwX_6IlJtrtaLKRKZVQoJR0Nbjqksgux-YTbhj7y3EMvQHVGNcaf4EyyJLYkebwfxmerV_MNMLXDRiKlAsk3FIrhE6zj2uNcGyRFmCS-fHw4tTNxCmVsO4vJU2lc894lvRIcI5ljub5/s1600-h/DSCF2891.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIkqwX_6IlJtrtaLKRKZVQoJR0Nbjqksgux-YTbhj7y3EMvQHVGNcaf4EyyJLYkebwfxmerV_MNMLXDRiKlAsk3FIrhE6zj2uNcGyRFmCS-fHw4tTNxCmVsO4vJU2lc894lvRIcI5ljub5/s320/DSCF2891.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378058156785061090" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5D59D-ohThvEaaDFc3V7eE4qer8qW1O9eZylP3d3zO_0kSW6KhWoC6s6OWvFnd-TpqIQyUBeZevuJBAdc0D620oit3OeyzclC24jk6s0NcZCgfH4xdug_rpCnEoc4S7hIUv3sIpEx970g/s1600-h/DSCF2892.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5D59D-ohThvEaaDFc3V7eE4qer8qW1O9eZylP3d3zO_0kSW6KhWoC6s6OWvFnd-TpqIQyUBeZevuJBAdc0D620oit3OeyzclC24jk6s0NcZCgfH4xdug_rpCnEoc4S7hIUv3sIpEx970g/s320/DSCF2892.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378058149379153890" /></a><br /><br />(And no, I don't know why his nose is always so orange. He is teething something fierce right now which is making his nose run like crazy and gives him a cough all the time!! GRRR!)<br /><br />Then we do a diaper change and maybe play a bit more, then it is time for a nap! Jack sleeps at least an hour, but sometimes more (like yesterday, he slept 2.5 hours!). Then we get up and play (and by play I mean wander around the house sticking things in his mouth or banging them on a hard surface). Then we eat lunch which is usually a big jar of baby food or two little ones and some num nums and share some veggie chips with mom. Then time for another diaper change (it seems that one of Jack's favorite things to do is make dirty diapers. Always has been!) and off to another nap. <br /><br />Then we play and daddy comes home and we either go to Grandpa Stuart and Gigi's house or Grandma and Papa's house and play our little hearts out. We eat a snack and dinner sometime in there (also some ba-ba) and every other day get a bath. Then we get some more ba-ba before bed and head home and go night night and do it all over!<br /><br />I am down to nursing Jack only 3 times a day! Once in the morning, once in the midday and once before bed! I am really happy with that and can't wait to wean him at a year. <br /><br />Jack can recognize a few words like ba-ba (!), num num, no (although, he doesn't always obey it), mama, daddy, bye bye, hi, kiss, more and yay Jack. When you say bye bye or hi he waves (sometimes!):<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5dUESKgVh8w_nCZ7dthqCf71IEbhL6aPEAuvrDMZvQ4hK0lg4bOoltRQ5nP66nAgHhUd2XLv1kVFeeiXQMCX8YR26jSQHGiQ3ioScurcDiuiV9tthj916LaA7PKlX2Wy3BHGvLX9z81wH/s1600-h/DSCF2882.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5dUESKgVh8w_nCZ7dthqCf71IEbhL6aPEAuvrDMZvQ4hK0lg4bOoltRQ5nP66nAgHhUd2XLv1kVFeeiXQMCX8YR26jSQHGiQ3ioScurcDiuiV9tthj916LaA7PKlX2Wy3BHGvLX9z81wH/s320/DSCF2882.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378060281867517954" /></a><br /><br />When you say yay Jack he claps (he really was clapping here!):<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS4OuKKkaJWOBPwPfVvDbGD7T3J4vdKx15Jc9448IqnsCdmjDH9LMCftMAcdExc0URQp5zn1-MBoucGZqe4pqM7glqcuRHdHdk8E72PWx35u9hzwNgqiZ0FQDqcHu28Vz8UcMK0q5kchgB/s1600-h/DSCF2893.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS4OuKKkaJWOBPwPfVvDbGD7T3J4vdKx15Jc9448IqnsCdmjDH9LMCftMAcdExc0URQp5zn1-MBoucGZqe4pqM7glqcuRHdHdk8E72PWx35u9hzwNgqiZ0FQDqcHu28Vz8UcMK0q5kchgB/s320/DSCF2893.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378060837229488546" /></a><br /><br />When you ask for a kiss, he gives you a kiss (sometimes!

He knows the sign for more, but often gets confused and just claps. And when you yawn he opens his mouth and takes a deep breath. It is quite funny! He cruises around really well and could walk if he wanted to, but doesn't quite have the confidence to try. But he can walk around with mommy or daddy just holding on to ONE FINGER! <br /><br />And to finish this post, here is a picture of me and Jack from yesterday.

Hopefully sometime soon, I can actually sit down and write a longer post. But I am going to be a little busy today. I have a WIC appointment in 2 hours then I am headed up to mom's to work on jewelry and get all the packages I need to mail all ready. We are headed out of town tomorrow.

Well really I am an internet addict. I sort of plan my day around it. I am rarely not on the internet. I am either checking my email throughout the day on the iPod touch or sitting in front of the computer (or making jewelry). <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">That </span>is why my house looks the way it does. It is sad, really. I mean really, really sad and pathetic. I know it is, but I just love the internet and I love Etsy. You know, I read that they have recovery houses for this kind of thing...hmmm. Anyway, this post is not to talk about how pathetic I am so much as to list my favorite Etsy things.<div><br /></div><div>Ames, from <a href="http://www.sparklerocks.etsy.com/">Sparkle Rocks</a>, is the most amazing sweet girl.

We had a really great time! Mark said it was the best visit he has had over there. The wedding was really great and it was great for Mark to catch up with all his old friends and it was neat for me to get to meet the few that I hadn't yet met. We stayed at Micah and Disney's although they were in Moses Lake. We weren't there much of the time anyway. We arrived Friday evening and went pretty much straight to bed. Saturday morning we left early for Yelm and met up with Mark's friend, Jason. We all ran a few errands then headed to Centraila together for the wedding. We finally got back to Micah and Disney's around 9. In the morning, we drove to Olympia for church and went out for lunch with some friends after church. That morning we had checked the pass and it didn't look that great. So we headed out soon after lunch. We hit the pass around 5 and as we started ascending the rain turned into snow and Jack's heaving breathing turned into screaming. The snow got heavier and thicker but Mark was handling everything very well. I am deathly afraid of snow on the roadway so this was excruciatingly hard for me, not to mention Jack's screaming. We were about 3/4 of the way up the pass and just about to round a corner when there was someone stopped in the middle of the road. So we had to stop too. But then we couldn't get going again. We just started sliding backwards and into the other lane. Mark finally got us back into our lane but we thought we would have to wait for someone to pull us out. Mark is a really great driver and God was definitely with us because we were able to back up and finally get going. It was slow and painful and the wind was blowing about 30 mph so it was complete whiteout conditions at times, but we made it. Jack screamed all the way over the pass, finally we were able to stop and feed him and that helped a little. As we were about 40 miles out of Yakima we could see a little blue sky and sunshine between the mountains and we knew that was Yakima, our little oasis. Sometimes, I just love where we live!<br /><br />Here are a few pictures of this weekend, courtesy of Brandy Hellemn.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5N8aXxd2ayMBkghpZOSyL3JJ2IBR_lShZrwTwzdXeNzvSJOJBCwLkaDlNp40-VsmzJbHQX42eKXdnFMC3m5iS9O5FlbflQkgNNuQEouWOs2MHhQrheOns8N-WM-hn8g1MZ5Vi1j3VkNwm/s1600-h/l_fafd03164abf411abdc4c25d117b47fa.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5N8aXxd2ayMBkghpZOSyL3JJ2IBR_lShZrwTwzdXeNzvSJOJBCwLkaDlNp40-VsmzJbHQX42eKXdnFMC3m5iS9O5FlbflQkgNNuQEouWOs2MHhQrheOns8N-WM-hn8g1MZ5Vi1j3VkNwm/s320/l_fafd03164abf411abdc4c25d117b47fa.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314364783097205106" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfmNb7a_VUnFqnu7DDYE6gAwvR6gvkrUgvERR0ytuB_ntokq3xjP3PuI16xHmMcLZamtNdds-HLw7q9KRrWsFvBcKA2WBuFitnegzd5amz7RFnAitWSlxkz28XIyTBc0OeLMyGzOKlGX1y/s1600-h/l_2c1729d518a54007becefd7e3057f55c.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfmNb7a_VUnFqnu7DDYE6gAwvR6gvkrUgvERR0ytuB_ntokq3xjP3PuI16xHmMcLZamtNdds-HLw7q9KRrWsFvBcKA2WBuFitnegzd5amz7RFnAitWSlxkz28XIyTBc0OeLMyGzOKlGX1y/s320/l_2c1729d518a54007becefd7e3057f55c.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314364778774571506" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmLeN2RuzHGbY0Vb8G92LNx_F_QZKig-3JT-8BNwxCQSbmeZq3GV3t2zSyj2ablrdjVDqlioPzTOmPShN5pw-0GENs-yyBhNwMje7QgxKK6WVu93vNzdqiWRQ0_fFzIrwJgdQxahRyfW1Z/s1600-h/l_a5ade4b62bec415f85c4ba4ae898c5d5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmLeN2RuzHGbY0Vb8G92LNx_F_QZKig-3JT-8BNwxCQSbmeZq3GV3t2zSyj2ablrdjVDqlioPzTOmPShN5pw-0GENs-yyBhNwMje7QgxKK6WVu93vNzdqiWRQ0_fFzIrwJgdQxahRyfW1Z/s320/l_a5ade4b62bec415f85c4ba4ae898c5d5.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314364781705396850" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv2vXw2844IRahyphenhyphenhj2uso-Vk-qr4Hk25m8bYaYpqcpVwFBtyeCfmrv6A0N5P5dOuOrLxHm2dUnbUy-K3MpBzZ90EmG08yjPmyvSKC9X1ugbXHRncd3QjXHqcjP5rJP9yIbsL1GR_j2ibQZ/s1600-h/l_9c2ede49afc24ea38e63a973cb0628ac.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv2vXw2844IRahyphenhyphenhj2uso-Vk-qr4Hk25m8bYaYpqcpVwFBtyeCfmrv6A0N5P5dOuOrLxHm2dUnbUy-K3MpBzZ90EmG08yjPmyvSKC9X1ugbXHRncd3QjXHqcjP5rJP9yIbsL1GR_j2ibQZ/s320/l_9c2ede49afc24ea38e63a973cb0628ac.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314364774524202866" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOK9OsngjjqTw1PI1K6zVRb-hRG2zmdK-y0PTitkVKcpWq9rIP7XDeRY5TIib_2eE8_FLcm7oEMYCSK5NjvxOD76xew6p_MxO3kwkgZpErXyB5oIDVkIcQiv4xgd0mwnQuxL_OMf7TTy_N/s1600-h/l_01b8aa49f4ec4816861c78997674880b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOK9OsngjjqTw1PI1K6zVRb-hRG2zmdK-y0PTitkVKcpWq9rIP7XDeRY5TIib_2eE8_FLcm7oEMYCSK5NjvxOD76xew6p_MxO3kwkgZpErXyB5oIDVkIcQiv4xgd0mwnQuxL_OMf7TTy_N/s320/l_01b8aa49f4ec4816861c78997674880b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314364774087377474" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5352483047650582966.post-69474871221747576892009-03-11T23:01:00.000-07:002009-03-11T23:09:22.830-07:00Finally....<a href="http://www.larissa789.etsy.com"> My Etsy shop </a> is up.

I put so much hard work into this, you wouldn't even believe it. I was so rushed and worked SO HARD on Saturday to get everything done in time. Altogether I made; 2 skirts, 2 matching headbands, 4 placemats, 4 coasters, 2 coffee sleeves, a tutu, a batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, 2 loaves of pumpkin loaf, chocolate cupcakes and a jewelry box. I was so excited, but I guess I had too high of expectations. It seems people had a tight hold on their wallets this year! One of my skirts/headband set went for $2.50, the other one went for...drumroll please! $0.75!!! I can't believe that! I worked so hard!! The tutu went for 5.50 (the starting bid was $5) and then the baskets I made went for like $2-$3. Although, the jewelry box I made went for $11. But it wasn't just my stuff that wasn't going for very much. I saw a $30 gift certificate to a coffee stand that went for $2 and some really great aprons that went for $1-$2. I just couldn't believe how ridiculous that was. That isn't fair to the people who put their stuff in and it isn't fair to the kids who were getting that money credited to their accounts! Oh well I guess. Now I know.

So this is my 'mini' version of it. Not that it is short or anything. It will be almost floor length, but it isn't as extensive. I am so excited about it. I have actually been getting quite a few sewing projects done. My house is still a mess, but we have the Melody Lane auction coming up this Saturday and I am supposed to be making things to put in it. All the money we raise will be credited to Jaycilyn's account and we can use that to go on the Seattle tour, which I may or may not be going on. Whatever Mark decides. =] So far I have made 4 placemats, 4 coasters, a coffee sleeve, 2 skirts and 2 matching headbands (which I will post pictures of soon. They are so great!). BUT I still have to make 4 napkins, 2 bracelets that match the skirts and headbands, a coffee sleeve, pumpkin loaf, cookies, cupcakes and possibly some jewelry and also buy some reusable coffee cups! PHEW! And it's already Thursday, so I have to work fast! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">These next two pictures are of a necklace I found on Etsy.

I like it okay, although I like my brown one better. I stayed up until 11:30 pm to finish it last night. And by that time my sewing was getting pretty sloppy! Here is a picture of me and Jack this morning. <div><br /></div><div><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSrZ9NbMFZMbPOV3XxW0cz4p3Cl3bmJ6KPrbkzUu4NGcgmbieBCmdBj5SCIlCUOeragEIgykId7ToQqR-BrINxONRW5dSdIJWeT-UB6ZCBw6antnqmyOTRQG6H55TiSFkV66lXMwnJiZjV/s320/DSCF1676.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308376953781173506" /></div><div>Sorry I look utterly ridiculous! For one thing, my hair is TOO long and I desperately need a haircut, my legs are shiny and I look 600 pounds overweight (hey, I'm working on it. Well, no not really. But I will!). Jack just adds 45 pounds. It is a great picture of Jack though. Oh, and you'll notice that great jacket in the picture...I got that las night too! It is normally an $80 jacket but it was on clearance for $15 and Sears was having 50% off all women's clearance, plus I get Mark's 20% off employee discount. So we ended up paying about $6! I love it so much! It is a great spring jacket. Mark is going to get me another one in black if they still have one.</div><div><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh55570YDfRQ2tWttn7jiUaDn-izfpi-EGmL2GAnvXVxIearpFTtMPsD27PPu4FAhq7V2x-U5S8yjClsY6Kc-rM0Te85kmCZtRE4JeQ98hxXWXTTU6bbF4Nt0B6tpC1HhMcPr0s5sz1bsYG/s320/00621862000.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308381895384502626" /><br /></div><div>And this is a picture of three things. One; our savings account dwindling. Two; how much Mark loves me. And three; a way for me to workout! I really like this bike so far. Mark got it for me at Sears last night. He never wanted me to go on walks around the neighborhood by myself, plus it's been too cold and I'm no good at sticking with workout dvd's. But with this I can stay at home inside while Jack is on the floor and ride this while watching a movie or listening to music. I'm so excited! Well hopefully next I can blog about how clean my house is, how many sewing projects I've finished (perfectly, of course!) and how much weight I've lost! *sigh* One can hope...</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5352483047650582966.post-79149390899039689442009-02-25T15:39:00.001-08:002009-02-25T15:40:28.854-08:00And my crafty heart...Here is a link to some of the wonderful fabrics and other things I love.

I am in love with two boys! Mark and Jack of course! I just can't believe how much I have grown to love Jack and how much he has grown to love me. I know people might say this a lot, but he really is the best baby we could have ever asked for!He hardly ever cries, sleeps through the night in his crib, for the most part and is always so smiley! He is happy and nice to strangers and loves to play. He is so big too! Not fat, just TALL! Last time we went to the doctor (at 2 1/2 months) he was 25" now, at 3 1/2 months he is 27"!!! He is really smart too! I don't really know what it is, he just seems so competent. He loves his daddy a lot too! Here is a picture of my baby today in my new favorite outfit for him (even though they are pj's!). Sorry he looks like he got into a fight with barbed-wire, he just CANNOT stop scratching himself and always manages to no matter how short I cut his nails!<br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj57coT6NgRK3W7CaKN6DK4CTUs_HCvi8tEP-yP8vyxfqyQlYZ8O2oEDtQ7tsBECe7y0qGjeF3b7fK6nkQh3Kj1bN6z-pCW6UvsdAzIUL1K9DjBoATTDvWC-N-3A4KfcTpUiECOrO23mPfp/s320/DSCF1681.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306861825437327186" /><br />Well I am also wanting to post some pictures of crafty things and fabric I LOVE, but there are so many pictures I will probably just put them in an album somewhere and link to it.

One of my favorite authors is releasing a new book in one of my favorite series soon and a certain blogger is giving away a ARC. If you comment on his blog you are entered to win it and if you post a link to his blog you get an extra entry. So here is the link: <a> http://www.rowijo.void-star.net/?p=335#comment-576 </a> And if there are any Wicked Lovely fans, check it out.<div><br /></div><div>Today Jack and I met my mom, Tanner, Jayce and Ashley to see a play at Ike that Matthew Kincannon is in. The play is called HONK and it is the story of the ugly duckling. Matthew was brilliant. We met Kevin, Naomi, Issac Jensen, Kris Beaman, Rick and Linda Kincannon and Cherri Picatti there. It was an okay play. Although, we went and saw West Valley's production of OKLAHOMA which Ashley is in on Thursday and it was quite a bit better. </div><div><br /></div><div>Jaycilyn is staying the night at our house tonight. She came home with me after the play and watched Jack while I got some cleaning done. I am so thankful that she is so good with Jack and that she likes to take care of him. She even knows how to change his diapers now! She is a great little sister. </div><div><br /></div><div>Also today, Jack and I went to Toys R Us to get him some new diapers. I am trying to make more healthful decisions not only for myself and my family but for our planet. So I am trying to eliminate most of the paper products we throw away everyday, by making some reusable ones. This includes: paper towels, napkins, coffee/espresso cups, nursing pads, "feminine products" and anything else I can find a better alternative to. My mom thinks this is kind of gross, but I always feel gross throwing so much (especially paper) away. We are also trying to go as natural as possible with other things too. Such as; food, hygiene products (still buy and use them, just make sure they are organic), cleaners and again, anything else we can find an alternative for. So I bought Jack some "Earth Care" diapers which are free of chlorine, latex, dyes and perfumes. There are some biodegradable ones that I was looking into, but I read that those don't hold up to leaks very well and we REALLY need that.

Therefore, it probably will be long and chock-full of pictures and a video. Well to start here are pictures of a couple of my projects. This first one is a skirt I made that I am totally in love with and would wear everyday if I could!<br /></div><div><div><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFtEd1tUL5W49N96jVq4pp0kNka1rQS-zYZTxmKApy_d171JoJGn47uzH8iakpNB6RIcBFQ5om3EMOM9DqIHnyFufcpV1fsp8XK55EnouBOAeg1spOvAIQn1uraGqkoQ-wEgTNG81t9dMH/s320/DSCF1681.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304296529839718706" /><br />It is made from a brown and white polka dot cotton with lace edge and an old tshirt I cut up for the waist band. It was pretty quick and simple I just wish it didn't take so much fabric. But it is pretty long and full. This next one is a picture of the placemats and coasters I made. They are all the same just reversible so I turned some over so you could see both sides. That thing in the corner is a coffee sleeve. It is lined with fabric my mom bought at Fabricland when she worked there at 16! Disney, the pinkish fabric is the one I was telling you about that is my favorite!<br /><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKkedu3iprjG6LMaY6dUHl6ekU6lVeRRG03otSsB3NFXYfDX-ZKYIjDNQDCrAPu-AJRx7fI_mhUnTn6Q4x7VtL3r9PeV8xWQXlRqS_R4Ong-aCt2fGoXyVXCWbJuxx5pkBS_h1cDGv_tGW/s320/DSCF1682.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304296526963413970" /><br />And this is the black, yellow and red version of it.

Yes, this is in fact the famous $3.99 headboard in all her beauty. I found this headboard at Goodwill and Disney bought it for her guest room. But then Mark re-did our room for Valentines Day and asked Disney if we could have it for our room. She graciously obliged! I am so thrilled! It is so beautiful. Now we just need to finish our canopy and get new bedding. (Eeep!) Here is a slightly better picture of the headboard. I couldn't get a great one since Jack was asleep.<br /><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO6mDyCM0xiYhyphenhyphenBw3bD0R2fWyrYHrBY4_MLxS4d_R-AIPhyphenhyphenFEKaOXtvrTN5xfARiEGNmsavF_4yIMPKpoNe6zcSjPkc_NsX31Pd6uGPUQzxQ08wfw-32R4noIVqFWY3gieKMM2QaOS2-tj/s1600-h/DSCF1679.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="text-decoration: underline;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO6mDyCM0xiYhyphenhyphenBw3bD0R2fWyrYHrBY4_MLxS4d_R-AIPhyphenhyphenFEKaOXtvrTN5xfARiEGNmsavF_4yIMPKpoNe6zcSjPkc_NsX31Pd6uGPUQzxQ08wfw-32R4noIVqFWY3gieKMM2QaOS2-tj/s320/DSCF1679.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304296544611019682" /></a><br /><div>Lately, I've been trying to wear Jack in the Moby more.

We just got back last night. I didn't take any pictures while we were over there which I am now regretting. But we had a good time visiting with family and everyone was happy to see Jack (and Mark and myself too, of course!). My old sewing machine, a Singer Stylist, has been having some problems that I didn't really want to do the work or pay the money to fix, especially since it is so old. Well, while we were in Spokane, Mark headed to Sears to check out their store (once again!) and when he came back he was carrying a big box containing my new sewing machine, a Singer Inspiration! I am so excited about it! It has been working great so far and has some pretty cool features like: an automatic needle threader, 28 stitches, an LED light, fully automatic one-step buttonhole and some other really cool things! I am so excited he did that for me! Here is a picture of my old sewing machine (which I think I will keep around) and my new one:<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br /></span><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7LoOXgNMWeJ9KAPlN95jjpOPRJucgsqRKziTZfvaEGbTUzbNVZVhNiQCoHb-UYIGeAzyuE12totMLk1gealvXF7_Cd2hboIjedWYyZCyhDHrTir9Xqth2ElSS9FLE-Sbb2aOnjwOcmREF/s320/3m13o03p2ZZZZZZZZZ91v0245228b600118c6.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301649449380974770" /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzkhK42Vu9av0StVtq1og2GYeiQ1Cvb7gDzmxOLxUaw9honuPshhCGb5W23og5Ht9X9q4mG4aPzrzfpAZ6kCD_QgWo3cCZFbd62DqRKCspycFRKzTUG7DsFRZ-7YXmATzSo6M_iXxWJVEv/s320/4228.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301649447691716818" /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I can't wait to do more things on it!

Last night was wretched! For some reason, Jack (who turned 3 months old yesterday!) would not sleep. Instead, he stayed up most of the night screaming and crying. We moved rooms several times last night and I fed him more than I ever have at night! Nothing seemed to help. I have no idea what was going on. He had been doing really well the past few nights. Sleeping from 9:30 to 5:30. It was great. Then last night I tried to get him back on his schedule: going to bed around 7:30. Then everything broke loose! SO I don't know what I am going to do. But Mark was great. He followed me around from room to room asking if there was anything he could do. I said sleep! Then at 8:00 am he took Jack into the living room and let me get some sleep for an hour or so. Unfortunately, I couldn't get to sleep! Oh well...that doesn't make him any less amazing! <div><br /></div><div>Mark has also been doing really well at work. He applied for the Men's and Kids lead a while back and didn't get it. Even though he had done that job before and is considered a manager now. But nevertheless, he was really gracious about it. He went back to his job working as hard as ever, if not harder. Mark is a prime example of doing whatever he does, for the Lord. Anyway, last night the person who did get the position, was telling the ASM (assistant store manager) of softlines, how much she appreciated Mark and how hard he works! I'm so glad that other people can see this too. Sometimes it is so hard on him and he really does deserve their appreciation! God has blessed us by letting us get by with only Mark's job. We are so thankful and Mark shows that through all he does at work! I am so proud of him!</div><div><br /></div><div>We have come so far. It is so funny to think that we have been married for a year and a half (almost) and have a beautiful baby boy! It is also funny to think that 4 years ago Mark didn't think of me romantically at all. And everyone thought my crush would never amount to anything. But I prayed so hard for Mark and look where we are now! Disney and I knew it from the beginning!</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV9FHNRHAtl88eUEc1kPc0lf95yH8kZAiJ7ErdK0Zqhe91TCfz-t3RHmIc1UVpVSaxUg0GSJsZr8Mpq3MRFHN8haQHJYidpWe2l9SVnrOb11iHeqwdBoaJqXGHbQBkaik2B53pzr9WQAm5/s320/IMG_2133.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299400529715629346" /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3
