I'm on a kick again

Well I get on these little kicks that my husband likes to call fling of the week and rolls his eyes at because when I get on one it consumes me. All I do is think about for about a week or two and then it is over and what we have left are a few finished projects and a lot of left over scraps. (I got to excited I was not thinking clearly and cut a hole right in the middle of the fabric that is why we always have a lot of scraps but we wont talk about that)This time it is dresses. I got hooked when I went to the blog Make it and Love it and saw how to make this dress and I thought hey I can do that. So i dusted off the good old sewing machine and went to town and this is what I came up with. Mama "T" would be so impressed! I took Maddison to the fabric store and she picked out the fabric herself! I made one for Brynlee and one for Maddison.

This weekend

This weekend we went down to Utah County and spend time with the Families! Here are a few picture of what we did!

Jax turns 3

Jax turned the big 3 yesterday. This is the day he has been waiting for forever. the first thing he said when I told him happy birthday was "now I get to go to PRESCHOOL". Now I am looking for a preschool so he can go. He has been waiting forever to go to preschool and now that he is big he can go! For his birthday we took his friend "Xan-man" bowling with us and the two of them had a blast. I was driving them there and it was so funny to hear their little conversations on the way. They consisted of the shoes they were wearing, how many strikes they were going to get, the coats and hats they were wearing. Oh it was fun listening to them. Happy Birthday Jax we love you!!

5 Years old!!!

Yep it is official not only was I welcomed into the thirty club this month (still 23 and holding) but I now have a five year old. I can't believe how fast time goes Maddison turned 5 on Tuesday and she has had quite the extended birthday celebration. She had a party on Saturday at grandma T's, then she had one on Sunday and then her birthday was Tuesday and then a party today. I think by the end of this week she will be all partied out! I just seems like yesterday she was just a tiny tatter tot and now she is so big. Turning five means .....Now it is time to start school....(don't know if I am ready for that).....I just want to freeze time and keep you little forever!!

We love you Maddison!

The Dentist

Jax had is first dentist appointment and he did great. Yes he was VERY nervous but it helped that his sister made it look so fun.

Here he is waiting to get pictures of his teeth taken

Now he is getting his teeth cleaned and watching a movie on the ceiling

Here he is listening to the movie and waiting for his turn to get his teeth cleaned

All done and would not even smile for me. That look is one of I can't believe you made me do this.

Here is Maddison she is a good sport and making it look fun so Jax would not be so nervous. The whole morning she is giving him the pep talk on how fun the moose dentist is and that he would love it.

All done and showing off her new toothbrush!!

The SHOTS

A little sore and very tired but still one tuff cookie!!

Hey at least she got a cool band aid!!

Well yesterday was the big day that Maddison has been dreading or maybe I have been dreading... we went to get her kindergarten shots yesterday and instead of going to the doctors office I went to the health department because I did not want Maddison to ask me every time we went to the doctor if she was going to get a shot. So we gathered a few friends and decided that if she went with some friends then she would not be so scared. Man and it worked she was so brave until she found out that she was the only one that was going to get them that day. Her friends were going to get theirs another day due to complications so into the tiny room we went and she sat on my lap and then looked over and the lovely nurse had left all the shots sitting there on the counter and that is when maddison FREAKED out. She started crying then as the nurse came closer with the shot she started to scream and as the shot went in she lost it. Then we had to do that FOUR times and each time she would say "I don't want that... no more shots.... and lots of screaming and kicking. Well needless to say I think Jax is traumatized and he does not want any shots for the rest of his life and I hope we did not scare off Maddisons little friend who stayed to give her moral support (Thank you for staying)!!! But over all it is OVER thank goodness and she is alive to tell about it!! (Which I am sure we will hear about it and everyone else!!)
