Reorganizing

My messy cluttered sewing/crafting table

Started using Michael's changing table for extra storage

The change:

I even got new tupperware bins for my fabric!

Ahh so refreshing.  Space for everything to fit in one space.

 

Well almost everything. 

I even decided to finish a craft project I've wanted to do since last year.  I've needed a summer wreath for our door since I only have a fall and winter one.  I had the flowers forever and it was time to use them.  It's kind of tiny but I got the base for the wreath for a buck at the dollar store.  I only ended up paying about 5 bucks for the whole thing.

Camping

We went camping again this year to the same place we went last year and had tons of fun.  Lots of friends from a few wards got together to go.  This year we came more prepared to have a better night's sleep by bringing our air mattress and a tent fan.  Last year we used whimpy pads to sleep on.  I definitely slept better this year then I did last year. 

There's a great playground for the kids to play on.

Looks like it would be a fast slide but the kids get stuck going down.

Two little monkeys

Beautiful trees providing great shade line the road to the drive up campsites.  Do you see the Rav 4 on the left?  That's ours.  We traded in Joe's truck and got it.  We love it.

Michael's response

Back on April 26th I had baby boy #2's ultrasound done.  I have yet to record Michael's cute response:

So when I told him that he was getting a baby brother he got all excited, smiling & claping.  Then he put his hands over his mouth & said repeatedly "Oh my goodness". 

He cracked me up.  Michael is such a sweet boy & I was very happy for him to be getting a brother. 

April showers bring...

I'm loving the green around our home lately.  We've surprisingly had a cooler spring this year and it has been wonderful. 

 Last year we planted a vine in front of the trellis.  Some how it decided to replant itself several feet away infront of a shrub(on the left)!  Ugh!

I'm loving the RED flowers I've planted in our planter this year.  They really compliment our green house & add an awesome pop of color.  They really are more beautiful in person.

We just got new screens installed to help save energy.  We got an awesome deal thanks to a military discount.  I'm still trying to get used to the look of them.  I can already tell a difference in Michael's room, thankfully.  His room was always so hot in the summer while he napped.  (Michael loves his shades btw, he always has to wear them when he leaves the house).

Happy Mother's Day Friends!

This afternoon my mother's day went something like this: 

Entertain Michael with some homemade Gak.  He threw it on the floor about three times & I was done with that. 

I received an apron as part of my Mother's Day gift so I thought it would be fun for Michael to have one too.  Although I didn't appreciate Michael drawing a "rainbow" on the carpet with crayons while I sewed. 

Even though it wasn't perfect.  I loved every part of it.  I love being a mom & can't wait to have two little mischievous boys to wrangle.

Happy Mother's Day to my mom & my mother in law.  I hope your days were special even though we were not there to pamper you.  We love you & appreciate you so very much~!
