Green Eggs and Ham

We had a pretty fun St. Patrick's Day.
We started out with Green Eggs & Ham.
We also painted our nails green. That evening we went to a St. Patrick's Day Party. We had a great time and enjoyed tons of green food & corned beef and cabbage. (my first time & I liked it).

Good Day

Carson gave Katie her Baby Blessing yesterday. She looked beautiful. (she wore the same dress Madi wore. Mom made it of course) Carson gave her a name and a blessing along side Dad, Nate & Roy. It was pretty great. Carson has been able to bless all three of our children. Every blessing has been short, sweet and to the point. I love it. I get teary-eyed every time. And Carson makes fun of me for it every time.After church, the whole fam (that was here) came over and we had Josie's birthday dinner. It was fun to have everyone in the kitchen. It felt like Thanksgiving to me. (It helped that we were having mashed potatoes) After everyone went there own ways, we were hanging out in the kitchen and Carson turned on The Cave by Mumford & Sons. We listened to it on repeat for about 15mins. while dancing in the kitchen. After this video, we put Katie down and Carson and I picked up our other 2 children. We all danced like crazy. Both Madi and Cal where laughing histarically. It has to be one of my favorite moments of all time!


I have three. It's still hard to believe, but I love it!

Hello, Katie Mae

We are just loving her!





Even in the hard times.

What have we been up to?

First, let me say that I have not been able to set up WiFi on my computer yet & it's making me crazy. My computer hook-up is in my bedroom, so I only get on it after the kids are asleep. However, having a new baby, as soon as they are asleep, so am I. Therefore, I have the internet, but rarely use it. LAME!


The main thing I've been doing is UNPACKING!

It looks much better than this now, but it felt like this to me for a long time.
Now that we are a little more settled, I pulled out my sewing machine for a little me time.

Baby Legs

If you are out of the loop on baby legs, click here. I didn't see a lot of use for them in Arizona, but now I definately must have them. They are great for under a cute summer dress in cold March weather. However, I'm not going to pay $12 a pair. So I learned how to make my own, here.
Then, I found these great socks at Target for $2 a pair. SWEET!



How do you not love them?!

We are also hanging out with family a lot! And that's about it

We Made It!

We arrived at my parent's house last night at 11pm. Hurray, no more driving! Now we have to buckle down for the cold. It's supposed to be blizzard like for the next 2 days. We made it just in time!
