Royal Wedding

Aren't they just adorable? They are so perfect for each other and such a cute couple. I'm so happy for them. I am so excited to have the opportunity to watch the Royal Wedding! I was debating on getting up early and watching it or just watching the news all day and seeing it then. Well, my little Brody bear must have known about this debate going on in my head, because he was up at 3:30am this morning. People are filling the church, the bridesmaids are adorable and the bells just bring chills to me. I wish that I could be there, to see every second and to be apart of all the people there to support Prince William and Kate. I can't imagine all this for a wedding. Mine was simple and just the way I wanted it. No frills! I can't wait to see her dress, she is such a beautiful woman and the fact that everything has been so secretive with the dress it just kills me to not even have an idea. We all know its just beautiful though. They showed clips for Princess Diana's wedding to Prince Charles and it was so special. William and Kate are doing many things that was done in his parents wedding....

The Queen just arrived to the church in her "daffodil" yellow dress as they keep mentioning. Prince William and his brother have been there for about 30 minutes now. This truly is just amazing to me. They just showed Kate in her dress and its breath taking...oh it just brings tears to my eyes. Small bouquet, lace, full veil, tiara, and the train is said to be about half of what Princess Diana's was. This all just brings tears to my eyes, I'm such a sap when it comes to weddings. She looks just amazing, I can't imagine what she is feeling right now. I was just a stress bucket before my wedding. But the day was perfect and I hope that everything is picture perfect for William and Kate. May they have all the happiness in the world, they deserve it!

HELP!

I hate teething! It's that simple. Brody is having the hardest time sleeping, eating, and just being himself. He doesn't sleep unless he is being held. I can feel myself going insane. I can see those little pearly whites but they are causing him a ton of discomfort and not cutting through.
Neacel was great when it came to teething so I need advice moms! We are giving him tylenol and it helps but we need a miracle. Teething tablets aren't helping, and neither is teething gel.

All in all, Im getting more gray hair, less sleep and Im feeling like I might need a padded room.
I HATE TEETHING!!!!

The End!

First Time Crafter

So I have always wanted to be crafty, but always have gotten the impression that's its super time consuming and expensive. Silly me! It's not if you use discount stores. I want to put my own touch on our home, I want homemade things that I look at and smile because I love the work I put into something small that makes such a difference in the house. First I needed to get some ideas from others. A friend shared an amazing site that has everything you could think of.(Click here for site) I check this site daily and get so many ideas. First thing first....what craft to do?I chose a simple, cheap wreath idea. Wreaths can go anywhere right? I had the perfect spot to put it in my head. Thanks to Born Again Crafter I knew what project I wanted to take on, the Book Wreath. I bought the wreath at Salvation Army for .45 and an old book for .50! Of course because I wasn't a crafter before this I needed to get a glue gun. I know that it looks kind of by its own right now, but I have a picture that is going to go almost next to it that hasn't been hung yet.

The craft bug then had hit! What things could I do next? Well, I'm going to make a magnet board (still looking for the perfect frame) and homemade magnets. A cork board because I am tired of all the appointment cards and what not on my fridge. Then I realized I had some letters that were boring and still packed up. How to fix them? Mod Podge and scrapbook paper silly goose! They were a dark cranberry color before and since my living room is no longer dark colors (its now yellow's greens and brown) it needed a new look....Tada! It's on top of the tv right now, but its going in our room. At first glance I thought it looked a little hippy-ish, which isn't a bad thing, just not me. But now I love it and the fact that it was SO easy to makeAny one have ideas how to clean up the top of a tv and hide every thing on it? We have the dvd player, Wii, xbox, and a few other random things. I hate the look but have no idea what to do about it. My only thought....time to buy a flat screen and a nice entertainment center :-) Nick says no...

Watch Out Picasso!

So one night Neacel and I sat at the kitchen table and colored pictures. Neacel of course colored pictures for Grandma and Grandpa, Nana and Pops, and Uncle Josh (who is serving his mission) Well, the crayons spilled and so I cleaned them up and sent Neacel to bed. (not because he was in trouble, it was just bedtime) Well, the next day I was sitting with Broden and playing with him while Neacel was in his room playing. All the sudden he comes down and in his toy corner starts coloring on the wall! Where did he get the crayon? Who knows, I must of missed it the night before or he grabbed it and hid it before I could find it. So I quickly grab the crayon and told him no....then I go on a search to see if there was more....bad idea! It was all the way up the stairs, the landing at the top of the stairs and his bedroom. Nick had just left for school so I put Brody down for a nap and started to think of ways to clean it. Alcohol (cleans everything including nail polish on carpet!) it was taking paint off, so I tried a blow dryer to heat the crayon and then soapy water to wash it away....paint coming ff again. SO I had Nick buy magic erasers before he came home....those took the paint off too! So I thought I was stuck with "Baby blue" (which is a lot darker then you would imagine!) crayon on my walls. Then we remembered that there was paint in the basement...wonder if any of it matches whats on the walls? Why yes, yes it did! So we painted over the crayon. I still need to get his room done but I figured I should wait till I know he is done ruining the walls in there...
Enjoy some pictures from our little Picasso. They didn't turn out great but you get the picture!

April Fools

Yes, I am that far behind with blogging. Sorry, life got busy and things have been too much fun to sit and write

I was really into April Fools this year. We had a yummy dinner that I was so excited to make for Neacel. It was chicken nuggets (oreo's covered in pb rolled in crushed corn flakes) carrots and corn (yellow and orange starburst) and mashed potatoes (vanilla ice cream with caramel and a yellow starburst) and we can't forget the orange kool-aid (orange jello). Dessert was cupcakes (meatloaf with green mashed potatoes). I had this planned way in advance and spent most of the day wondering when I could start dinner! Neacel loved dinner and refused to eat "dessert" that night. He realized he was getting the good stuff first....smart kid!
Just wait next year will be even better!!!!
Ps. Keep an eye on the blog over the next week, I have a lot to catch up on and I finally have found a little time!!! Be looking for Picasso, amazing blinking baby and more....
