1 year ago today

An amazing little, insanely chilled out little boy came into our lives.

A drool monster, cuddler, and relaxed soul, you melt even the coldest of hearts.

This year has flown by, thank you for making it so easy. I was worried how things would go as a momma of two but you little man have made it easier than I ever expected. You are just happy almost all of the time and so easy going, we are blessed to have you around. Plus it is all new to me to have a child who is attached to me your sister has always been pretty independent, I wont lie I love having a "momma's boy".

I hope you get your fill of cake and you like the gift your sister picks out for you. I hope you get everything you dream of in the years to come little man!

We love you so Kenson!

Knitting bug

So turns out I am not sick, just have a knitting bug! OK well that isnt completely true but I have been itching to knit A LOT lately and finally this weekend I stole a few minutes and whipped up this cute bow I have had in my brain all week last week. It was originally for Leila but since she doesnt like anything in hair again lately (who knew?) my Blythe doll was happy to oblige. I have a feeling I may be up in my ears with knitted bows soon but I really cant help it besides, super fast super quick there is no better project!

This is super easy but if someone would like me to make a tutorial let me know!

an ick kinda day

I am sick of being sick! Anyone else out there dealing with this? The only good thing is whatever I have the kids dont. Leila does have a case of the "mondays" though so lord help us!!!

Hoping sleep will help, fun stuff later this week so stop by again soon!!

(oh and the image? I finally started to scan some of my old knitting mags, more info can be found on my flickr page)

Weekend post

I saw this, this morning and have to share. I am just amazed by artists and the amazing things they do and share. I cant wait to see her next installment to see what she does next! I know I normally dont post on the weekends. Stay warm everyone! Lots of layers and blankets are being worn around these parts!

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday All! Instead of my normal funny picture of the kids or me. Enjoy the funny video of Leila. She was a robot last night. Sorry for the over the top processing I am new to movie making and had a little too much fun!




enjoy your weekend everyone!!!

card games

Remember a few posts ago I shared how my family loves games? We were at my aunts house this past weekend and Kenson got in on the game once again. This time hanging with one of my baby cousins. He doesnt look interested but dont let that fool you. He is a hard core card shark in the making!!

Playing away

So about 6 months ago we got Leila an elaborate playmobil set for her 3rd birthday. she wasnt overly impressed. Had me set it up and take it down. Now it is playmobil central around here. Hours can be spent and the conversations that are had always make me smile or laugh. I cant wait for this upcoming birthday. I have a feeling a larger house is in order for momma to play along with!
