Busy

My kids have been busy...
living out of boxes
riding horses
and living in different environments.
Overall my kids seem to be the best of friends. Luckily, it is a blessing.

This girl thinks she is so big and wants to ride this bike, and she is close, very close to getting her leg up there.

Needing some cute pics today


These pictures are about a month old before we moved, but I just needed some cute pictures on my blog.

Road Side Flowers

Sunflower weeds are out and about on the road sides and medians, and in the in the flower case at the grocery store. While we were moving, and cleaning out, and everything, I made sure one day to stop on the side of the road and cut some flowers with my pocket knife. Both kids were crying and ready to get home, but I didn't want to miss my flowers before they wilted. Was I allowed to pick flowers from UDOT land? I don't know, but my son and I sure enjoyed them the few days they were on our table.

After

Here is entering my apartment. Yes, I should have shut the blinds before the picture.
This might be my favorite part. The corner looks so cozy.Yes, I should have cleaned my kitchen. We recently finally painted our chairs. And since we knew we would have white walls I figured colored chairs would be fun.
The children's bedroom. There is a whole back-end of the room you can't see, filled with toys and a closet. Their room is so huge compared to the last one, I love it.
Their bathroom, and yours too if you come to visit. The shower curtain is a new acquisition, I really like it, because its juvenile but not too much.Not a cardboard box insight. Unless you go into my room, but they aren't just laying around they are stacked neatly in corners, and really they are almost all food storage, or my childhood dollhouse. No pictures of my room or my bathroom right now for that very reason. Plus my bathroom isn't that exciting, the same shower curtain as in other rentals, all my bathroom mats on the floor (its long and skinny), and a picture of husband going to surf.
Speaking of my bedroom, I finally got my pantry to be my sewing/hobby closet, to go with my sewing desk. Unfortunately they are both in my bedroom, and now I share my sewing desk with my husband when he works at home and the children are awake.
Oh and here is our patio. Its actually huge for an apartment.
Oh, and not a box in sight, isn't exactly right, but not an box in plain view. I never said I would get rid of the boxes, I just said you won't notice them.

Before




This is what our apartment looked like two weeks ago, after a lot of help from family members.
It said that, these boxes would not disappear. I told my husband some people underestimated his wife.

Girly Hair


I am totally in love with the hair my daughter is growing on the back of her head, even if one day it will grow into a mullet, since she isn't as skilled at growing hair on the top of her head-- she still has parking lots. Both her and I love playing with her baby fine hair. I often find her sucking her thumb and rubbing her head with the other hand. (Which could create toddler baldness in a few months/years.)
Some days it is blond, and other days its red. Who knows?!

Moving? Hard work?

Each move is different, some things never change.




The thing that never changes: pants are apparently optional in our house, at least in the under three crowd.
