Quiet Time

We had the Lyon's children over this past Wednesday again. After Gwendolyn went down for her nap we tried to have quiet time for the others. Benjamin had his own pillow and blanket on the couch but wanted to share with Wyatt. It was cute.

Nap Time

Monday was a rough day at least in the morning. I got irritated with my computer because it wouldn't work properly and I decided to reboot after I got the bare minimum done for work. I realized I hadn't read my scriptures yet for the day so I got that done and then laid down with Benjamin and just snoozed. Jared came home from school and found us relaxing and eventually sleeping.

A Seat on the Bookshelf

Have I mentioned our little boy likes to climb? I got a text at work on March 9th with a picture of my little boy on my bookshelf. Apparently a spot had opened up enough for Benjamin to climb up and crawl into a nice little spot.

We have such a feeling of pride and terror. What's next?

Just Like Us

Benjamin is so much fun! He keeps us very busy but it is just amazing being parents and we feel so blessed to have him in our lives.

Benjamin wants to be just like us and do what we do. Whether that be talking on the phone, pulling the blankets up in bed or wearing shoes. He will do it himself and show us how big he is.

He even put the shoes on the right feet and walked all the way from the garage door across the family room.

Stamping Flowers

I tried some new things and I'm not sure how much I liked it. I do like the flowers and had fun stamping them but the Thank You I should have chosen a different ink color. I forgot that the embossing ink takes on the color of the ink used instead of keeping it's white color. Ooops.

I am entering this card in the Share the Good News challenge over at The Crafty Pad. They have some amazing looking cards. I defintely need to get some old books that I can play with for crafting like this because what I had was not my first choice.

Hello Friend

I do love to craft but lately when I have time I don't feel inspired. I feel like most everything I look at is so amazing and I can't quite compete. I also think the mess of my crafting space has something to do with it. Which I am working on but I only have a little free time so not much happens.

I found some time to craft this weekend and created the below two cards. I'm entering them in the Whoopsi Daisy Challenge of Lace and Pearls. I don't have any real pearls so I used my liquid pearls.

A Helping Hand

When it comes to doing anything in the kitchen whether it be baking or cooking or even cleaning, Benjamin want to be apart of it and not miss out on any of the action. So I have to be a little more careful and creative in how I do things to try to keep him from getting cut or burned to the best of my abilities.

Any guesses what we were having for dinner?

We had a recent incident this past week while I was trying to make cookie dough I raised up the mixer to add more flour and Benjamin turned it on. I tried to hold onto the mixer and prevent cookie dough from flying as I yelled for Jared to turn it off. Luckily I mostly found it on the counter and the floors and not the ceiling and cabinets.
