Tys 2nd birthday


Ty's been saying "TWWWO" all week long. He knows he is two years old!! Don't worry if you ask him he will tell you!! Neither of our families could be here on his actual birthday..except my baby sister Heather, or as Ty would call her "Haaaya" and my cousins Betsy and Derek!! So we just had a nice dinner, a little cake and ice cream and a few presents.

O man were the presents a hit!!
Seriously the dollar store rocks. We picked this huge crayon up there and he couldn't be happier.
......Or so I thought. His foam sword has not been out of his hands all day. He LOVES it!


Those were his store bought items, but mama had to make him something. Jayson and I thought it would be cute for Ty to have a superhero cape. We like batman so we thought me might. I didn't even have to go to the store all the material I had on hand!!

I got the tutorial for the cape HERE, it was fun and easy enough to make!!

...My heart almost broke because when Ty opened it, he really wanted nothing to do with it. Then when I tried to put it on him he ripped it off.

Sad face.

This is why I fall in love with Jayson more everyday.
...Ty didn't think it was cool....so Jays slipped it all on to show him how it works....Except the belt was a tad to small so Jays made it a hat! ahaha
All the sudden the cape was the coolest thing ever.
Especially when Dad made Ty fly in the air.
and he could run really fast.
Then he LOVED it!!

o and the cake...he blew it out himself!!!!


the next day....he wanted the cape on first thing!

 ...great success.

ketchup anyone


Needless to say I have been slacking on the blog lately. Honestly though I have enjoyed every minute. I think its ok to go through highs and lows. The last few weeks of minimal posts have been spent enjoying the holiday season, even extra snuggles with my babies, late night baths, way more crafting, painting, dates with the hubby, trips to Logandale and more sleep.

I don't think anyone should ever apologize  for taking a blogging break. Rather just play a little catch up picture post. 

Here are a FEW things we have been enjoying.

We put our tree up and its so beautiful. Jayson and I got married in December and it was actually a wedding gift...one of the many from my sweet Grandma. If you ever have a friend getting married in December and don't know what to get them a tree is a way fun and surprising gift!!

 O black Friday!!! I hit up Walmart with Jayson. We got Ty a few things and us a few needed not wanted things. However the real fun is when I went into JoAnns. The receipt in the picture I spent 300dollars and saved over 900...WOOOWH... awesomeness... Most went to my sweet mother, but I splurged a little as well.

This is something I am so excited for I can't even stand it. I saw this post by one of my MOST favorite bloggy friends The little giggler and knew Ember needed one. What do you get a three month old anyway?? Everything she needs (diapers, binkies, clothes, blankets) she has or we buy her anyway, and three month old babies don't have any wants....So I thought it would be so fun to make her first doll. Something sentimental and homemade by mommy. I had so much fun making it. I hope she loves it and wants more....I named her Polly, and I think she will soon need some friends.

 We don't crank the heat in this house...I would say its not freezing but definitely chilly. It doesn't really bother me because I get to keep my kids in cute warm footie pjs in the house. Ember looked so cute in her pink fuzzie ones, and she looked just like one of her stuffed animals, I HAD to snap a little phone picture.

Ty is still potty training. I'm still not pushing it. When he wants to go on the toilet I let him!! He loves it and feels so proud of him self when he is done....SOOOO SOOOO CUTE!!! The only hard thing is when he is done he REALLY does NOT want to put his diaper back on. I have been told we may need to switch to pull-ups...Any thoughts??!

We also went down to Logandale a few days ago...and Uncle Justin and Aunt Missy have some baby goats Ty got to play with. Ty thrives when we go down to the farm. He rides the tractor with Papa Stan and goes on Rhino rides, feeds the animals, plays in the dirt and couldn't be happier. It seriously melts my heart because I though living farther way and him only going down every so often he would be hesitant and scared of the animals and tractors. But he jumps right in like he does it everyday!! Hope that sticks when we move to Colorado and only visit my parents a few times a year.

We also tried to snap a family picture over Thanksgiving. Any advice on how to get a toddler to take a picture?? hahaha good thing he is so dang cute....but seriously can't focus on the camera.

O well!!!

Thanksgiving picture



We had a very good Thanksgiving~
We spent this year at my parents  house. The weather was so warm. I almost felt like it was summer again.  I didn't take a lot of pictures of Thanksgiving dinner...Well I take that back, I didn't take ANY, WHAT was I thinking?? I am so sad. Most of the time was spent just visiting family, late night fires, crafts, food and lots of loves.
We tried to snap a little family picture. but they are mostly all really bad. Toddlers, well at least my toddler doesn't like holding still long enough. Also are the red pants a little much?? I was nervous to get them. They are super comfy, but I didn't know if I could pull them off....

Some are super cute
I know we haven't been married that long, but Jays still make me feel like a twitterpated high school girl. Most of the time I can't keep my hands off him. :)

I'm so thankful for all the time I was able to spend with family
For my handsome sweet hubby
Two DARLING kids
Our health
Warm bed
Food in my tummy
Roof over my head
all the love in my life
and I'm thankful that I know how to be happy.
and mostly for my testimony in Christ.
