Kiss Me I'm Irish

Wishing everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!! Hopefully it is pinch free ;)

1 to 50

Yes, ladies and gents she's done it! She can now count one to fifty without too much trouble! Kylie is excited about learning and doesn't want to stop!!! She can't wait till she can read and says she is going to read all her books :) She has really been practicing her dance and cartwheels and gets better every day! I am so proud of her! My favorite is watching her color where (if she decides to take her time) she outlines each section then colors it in! She really is so good at it! I love her so much and can't wait to see what she accomplishes next... you Go Kylie Bug!

Craft Night

Okay Craft Night this month with be next Friday the 20th! Just bring any Easter or Spring project you'd like to work on, and hopefully (if your not a jabber jaws) you'll get it done ;) I am lucky if I can finish my stuff myself! Let me know if you are coming so I can make sure I have enough seats! Hope to see you there! Oh and it will start at 7:00p.m.

Big Boy Bed

Okay, so I know this is about a month late, but I wanted to write it for journaling purposes!! Ethan got his big boy bed last month and is loving it!!! I thought the transition would be harder with him, mainly because he's so defiant, but I have been pleasantly surprised! He only had two days of uncertainty, and has been sleeping soundly ever since. Even better I can go lay him down and he doesn't fight me one bit. Sometimes during nap time he plays in his room for about a half hour until he decides to sleep, but he eventually lays down and goes to bed so I have no complaints! It is nice having the crib put away, but now I have to give a little more thought to putting the finishing touches on his little sports arena ;)

Difficult

Have you ever met my little guy Ethan? Sure, a lot of you think you have met him, but he hides his true colors to most ;) He is difficult to some it up. He hits (especially Kylie), throws tantrums, throws food, breaks crayons, writes on walls, and much much more. He also does not care for dicipline! Time out is a huge struggle, he just will not stay. Getting sent to his room work if you don't mind him kicking the door, or destroying his room. He doesn't care if you even give him a spank, he comes at you hitting afterward. Yes, I have found my challenging child. I can't even get him to sit still for a picture... the kid is "hell on wheels," to put it lightly! Yet, I still love him so much. Everyone is always telling me how cute they think he is, oh yes, he's cute but you don't know the Ethan I know!

Petti Pretty

I finally caved and bought a pettiskirt for Kylie! They are beautiful, and are great for photos. We recieved it today and she wanted to take some pics in it right away. They didn't turn out the greatest, but we plan on going out when it is warmer and doing an official shoot in it! Plus Kylie has been sick with some yucky eye crap and a cold so she doesn't have her normal color :( Stay tuned and we'll bring you some much better shots with this beautiful girl in her beautiful skirt!

Sassafrass Photo Shoot ;)

The title says it all! My daughter is always up for taking pictures, and has now been asking to take more photos! Yes, maybe she'll be 5'11" super model one day! She lets me dress her however I please, which is nice! She even let me adorn her with a third legwarmer as a headband, I love it! She is spunky, bright eyed, and makes the best facial expressions. Thanks Kylie for letting use you as my little muse, I love you!

Before And After

Okay this photo is not raw out of the camera by any means! You can't desaturate the color like that from the camera, but it is an image without a texture. This is the after pic with a texture added to it. It is easier to see the difference if you double click on the images and make them big ;) The reason I posted this random thing is for my husband, who I think is visually challenged. First of all after I edit photo's he says he doesn't see the difference. Then I add a texture and he can't tell??? Come on Bry are you in LA LA Land??? Mr. 20/20 vision my foot! Anyways, anytime I do photos now I have to show him the before and after so that he can really see the difference. How would he like it if I said "BYU/UTAH, what's the difference, they are both Utah colleges! Shouldn't we support them just the same!" That could cause divorce ;)

Happy Birthday Bry!!!

Happy Birthday Bry!!! This is your last year in the twenties, so live it up!! I know you never look at the blog, but I'll make sure you get around to checking out this fantastic post all for you ;) I hope you have a great birthday working for most the day, while I'm alone at church dealing with our rambunctious kids! Sorry your presents are lame, but I just know some season tickets will be purchased soon, and consider those my gift for personal time to yourself... wait you have plenty of that! Well here is to never seeing each other and livin it up!! Happy Birthday Tiger!! ;)
