Okay, so I haven't been very good at updating my blog so this is going to be a long post. Since being let go at work I have taken on the role as stay at home mom, and let me tell you, it's tougher than I thought. I feel my children gather together at night to see how far we can push my patience each day. I wait till my oldest Rylee heads to school at 11:30 and I gather the other 2 critters and we head to the gym. I find myself needing the gym more often due to me testing out my cooking and baking skills. It would probably help if I didn't taste test them for nails all the time, but in any case I have never been more happy. I still miss my job and how fun it was, but I especially miss the people I had the honor of working with. I am happy that this summer my fat arse will be planted at the beach everyday getting a nice tan while the children run and swim out their energy.



Isaac and I at Iron Man 2. It was a good movie with a lot of action, however I did feel that Stark was a little too cocky. He should have toned that down a bit.

So to occupy my spare time I have taken to crafting. I am no where near as good or crazy as my sister, but I feel I do okay. Our loving mother blessed us with a cricut and I LOVE IT!! I does everything. My husband is leaving for the summer to work in California, so it'll be a whole new house when he gets back. I think my next adventure I want to try is learning how to decorate cakes. Not to make money, but just as a neat hobby to try. So below I have posted some of my projects. I made this board for my mother-in-law. If you can't read it it says, "Grandkids are the reward you get for not strangling your teenagers." It was very easy, I cut out the letters and flowers and then modge-podged it to the board.

I did this board for my mom. She has 5 grandkids and the sign says, "If I'd known how fun Grandkids were, I would have had them first." I didn't do very well on the placing of the hooks for the pictures, but I went to the dollar store and bought frames, then used ribbon to string up the pictures.

Just another board I did. I just painted it, then used vinyl for the other letters.


Same here

This is Allie's room. She is in love with purple as you can see. It's very cute and she loves it and is learning to keep it clean.

With this I just cut out the letters in vinyl and stuck it on the wall. I added pictures of the family

Rylee's room. Very fun and bright. I used the disney color friendly frog. She is 6 going on 25, so she keeps her room very clean and organized.

Old window frame, that I painted over and sanded. My mom gave it to me already with the word family on it, but all you'd have to do is cut it out of vinyl and put it on the glass. It was a scary shade of yellow when I got it.

So those are the things I've done lately and I am having so much fun. I recently learned how to make these amazing bracelets and watch bands. As soon as I get the watch face I will post a picture of it. They are super easy and beautiful!!
