Project 365 | Week 18

Monday, April 27, 2009

The kids have been enjoying being outside in all the Spring weather. I feel really grateful that I have a yard (although small) that the kids can go and play. I love seeing them use their imaginations and enjoy running around and just being kids. They have even been playing really well with each other. Today, when JJ got off the bus I gave them some drinks and snacks and sent them out to play. A few minutes later, I went to check on them and this is what I found. They had overturned their wagon and was using it as a table for their snacks. Just cute kids!

All the playing outdoors lately has made the kids sleep much better at night and I am so happy about that. I really think it helps them work out all their little stresses and makes them so much happier. Plus they get more rest and that has helped them even more! Yay! I went to tuck them in tonight and I found them already in bed (SURPRISE) and all snuggled in with their favorite stuffed animal friends.

Some of the things I love about JJ:
His laugh and his smiles are so contagious.
He looks like his Daddy!
He loves playing on the computer.
Each step of progress in his development, is so much more appreciated and enjoyed.
He makes me stronger.
He has an amazing memory.
He eats just about anything.
He loves movies.
He’s a bustle of energy.
He likes giving hugs.

Some of the things I love about Beth:
She has so much self confidence.
She gives the best hugs.
She loves all the girly things, while still loving to play in the dirt and other tomboy stuff too.
She’s completely beautiful.
She has her Dad’s sense of humor.
She says the cutest things.

I bought a new treat maker and it arrived today. These star popsicles were a big hit with the kids. I bet I will be making them A LOT this summer!

I wasn’t feeling very well today and I had a lot to do, so Joey took the kids up to the rec center for a little while and they played some racquetball. I think if they keep playing with Joey, that they are going to get pretty good!

After church we had a good time hanging out together watching some “church movies.” I love seeing my kiddos with their daddy. It somehow makes me love them all even more!

And here is my weekly layout:week18I used my Digital 365 Kits to create this layout!

Project 365 | Week 17

The kids have really enjoyed the “Spring Days.” They have been playing outside in the yard together and they get so worn out. They sleep much better and they are happier too, so it has been really great!

The kids played at the park for awhile today. They just had to wear their cool sunglasses and they were too cute!

On our way to the mail today, Beth picked up a tree branch filled with beautiful blossoms. She was so delighted about it and kept it with her all day!

It was Bring Your Daughter to Work Day at Joey’s work so Beth got to go with her Daddy today. They had a great program for them with Breakfast, Lunch, and fun activities. They had a passport to go to different rooms that represented different countries and had fun learning activities at each of them.

Joey had to go to meetings in Salt Lake City today so after JJ’s school we headed up there to watch Joey play racquetball and go to Mings for Dinner. We got to visit with Sabrina, Brandon, and Pete and that is always so much fun!

Saturday, April 25, 2009

Joey stayed overnight at Pete’s last night and then went to the Salt Lake Temple this morning. We picked him up at the Trax Station and went to lunch. We spent the rest of the rainy day at home. I picked up some Strawberries yesterday and made yummy Strawberry Shortcake for dessert. I whipped up homemade cream for the first time and it tasted really good! The whole family loved it!

The kids were sick today, so we didn’t get to go to church. We watched some movies, played, worked on our computers, and just spent the whole day in the house. We ended the day with our new Sunday tradition – Chocolate Pudding!

And here is my weekly layout:week17I used my Digital 365 Kits to create this layout.

Project 365 | Week 3

Mondays are now Joey’s official day for recording his podcast. Joey and Pete have started TREKWEST 5, a podcast where they review tv shows (starting with Star Trek, The West Wing, and Babylon 5 – hence the name). Joey is really enjoying this new endeavor and I was excited to be able to create a logo for them!

We finally decided that it was time to put the Christmas tree away. The kids were not very happy about it – but they did help me get everything into the boxes. That’s the nice thing about artificial trees is that you can wait as long as you want before putting it away – the tree is not going to die on you! I grew up with having real trees – so I really do enjoy that – but an artificial tree is nice too!

The kids love BUBBLES! They got some in their Christmas stockings this year and I finally let them use them today. They spent about 2 hours (on and off) blowing bubbles. It’s really fun to see them having so much fun and actually playing together.

Joey and I both love reading. Our home is filled with books and movies. I’ve been in several book groups and I really love the variety of books that I have read because of them. Books that I wouldn’t have chosen myself, but had such an impact on me. A few months ago, I started an online book club that brings scrapbooking and reading together. Every other month we meet together in a chatroom and discuss the book, then we do a layout about our feelings about the book, and then I create a digital scrapbook kit inspired by the book as a posting bonus. It has been really fun and I enjoy meeting with members of the digital scrapbook community, getting to know them, and discussing books. This month’s book was Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns and the book club chat was held tonight. I’ve recently discovered audiobooks and this was one book that I actually listened to, instead of reading it and I am so glad I did. To some members the book was okay, but kinda boring, but I found the audio version wonderful! I loved the humor and relationships of the story very much and I felt the man who read the book on the audio did such a good job of bringing the characters to life for me. I didn’t want the story to end.

Fridays are racquetball nights for Joey and Pete. Sometimes more of the Homestarmy boys join in, but most times it is just Joey and Pete. I love it when the kids and I get to join them. I try to occupy the kids while they are playing and then the tradition continues as we go out to eat at Mings! It’s a Chinese restaurant with really great food. Joey and Pete are the owner’s favorite people and he always treats us so well, like free calendars and last night, it was free dessert for Chinese New Year. I’m really glad that Joey has such great friends and I’m glad he gets his racquetball nights!

I am a night person and I hate mornings. Even if I get 8 hours of sleep (which I usually don’t), I still hate getting up in the morning. I rarely eat breakfast and Joey doesn’t eat in the morning, so breakfasts around here are very simple and it is just the kids. It’s usually yogurt and Nutri-Grain Bars and sometimes Cold Cereal. We do love breakfast foods like pancakes, eggs and bacon – but we usually serve it as dinner instead.

One night, several months ago, we were putting the kids to bed and Joey came up with the Bedtime Express. As a family, we become a train and chug around the house with the last stop being the kids bedroom and their beds. The kids LOVED it! What was an impromptu idea became a nightly tradition. The kids take turns being the engine and caboose and it’s the last thing we do before bed.

And here’s my WEEK 3 Layout:
