Home Sweet Home....

Although it took allot of sweat and elbow grease and creative ingenuity I made it into a home, I am still waiting on top cupboards in kitchen and a shelf above the Washer and Dryer where other wise making due and settling in.

A* wedding *and *a*Reuniting..

Jayme's cousin was getting married a hop skip and jump away from my Dad's and I missed my Idaho Parent's terribly so I couldn't resist the invite. Plus I could leave my car there to go back with Jayme to pack and my car would already be half way there for when we headed to ND. So I braved the six hour trip to Idaho alone, not my favorite thing! But Leta was a dream and slept most of the first half where we stopped to fit in a overnight visit with Aunt Moo and get in a Enrichment activity on Coupons :) And the last half we listened to book on tape and ate goodies. The wedding was beautiful and visiting family was even better...

Loving Afar...

This was our first Valentines Day apart, but he was home within a short time after so it wasn't so bad :) He did the right thing by ordering flowers for me, maybe with a small suggestion from me ;) Mom and I celebrated small with a nice dinner and a festive cheesecake, and she got me some beautiful wildflowers things..

Bottoms Up!

I know this is not sanitary and no I do not condone it on a normal basis but I had to capture it on camera! She loves to help me make and mix the milk, she also loves to drink it as I pour! Haha she laps it like a kitten, smacks her lips and says "Ummm tastes perfect!"

Love her outfit? That's her normal look anymore :)

Uh, Oh MOM!

The other day I was in the office on the computer when I vaguely registered the sound of Leta playing with the broom no big deal as she loves to clean (No surprise there!) It wasn't until she came in with concerned look on her face and refused to make eye contact with me that I knew something was up! I assured her she wouldn't be in trouble and all she would give me was "I tried to clean it up, but its just a mess" by this time I am finally noticing the powder covering the front of her chest and hands and I asked "What mess?!" , "The chocolate milk" she whispered. By this point I am trying to not go full fledged panic on the situation while picturing a gallon of milk on my kitchen floor...instead I found this. Hahaha we keep the carnation breakfast in the little container shown in first picture, it is easier than lugging the container down and Leta can handle it easier. Well I let it get empty so she was "assisting" me by refilling it. Obviously not much made it in and she worked frantically to get it sweeped up, which wasn't working so she resorted to trying to scoop it up with her arms, another bust...so she resorted to the last possible solution, report to MOM! She makes me laugh everyday with these little moments.

What resulted..


Happy to know she is not in trouble :)

Moving UP

I can't believe my baby is now a Sunbeam! We prepped her the week or two before explaining what would be different and similar how her friends would be moving up with her (I think only one of the kids she considered her "friend" stayed behind). She went right in and sat down she looked so grown up I was close to tears all morning :) After church she was a chatter box telling us all about her big girl class and how she got a crown...
