My Christmas Crafts

Im late also in posting my crafts that I got done for my home for the Holiday season! I think they turned out pretty cute!

My snowman is not quite done yet, but still adorable

My christmas tree made out of 2x4's and scrapbook paper

I wish I used different colors maybe I will re-paint this

These are also unfinished but a trip to Hobby Lobby will fix that!

A little late AGAIN

Again I apologize for the long windedness of my posts, I have to stop waiting So long to post things!!
I have been waiting for this day, Willey FINALLY graduated from his EMT class YAY!!! It has been a hard and long road and only 1 semester long! haha! Im a wimp I know but I didn't like the whole single parenting thing!! We also FINALLY had our family pictures taken after like 2 years!! haha I know Im a total slacker so here is just a peek at some of them:

My sister Marcie did these pictures and she did a GREAT job!! It was hard Zack wouldn't smile in ANY pics haha he just had a funny grin!! I will post more pics later. I love my cute little family and all their personalities that make my life so full and never dull!!

Turkey day and Zacks Birthday

SO behind!! We had such a GREAT thanksgiving. We started out with the Turkey Trot (LOVED IT), this was Willey's first year doing it and he did awesome!! I came in at 31:34 but can take 32 seconds off that cause I didn't get out the gate til it said 32 haha, Willey came in 36 minutes, which was great considering he only ran it once before the turkey trot. Then it was off to my parents for some turkey and great family time!! Willey had to leave early to do his clinicals at the ER for his EMT class (whole different blog haha). My sister-in-law and I decided to head to walmart (CRAZY) for just a few things, my mom and Jessie decided to join in on the fun also! So we stayed up until midnight and headed over there. Pure chaos, but we got in got what we went for and got out all within an hour!! It was so much fun and SO tiring!! But we had to get up and get ready for my baby to have his third birthday!! Zack is totally shy and clams up so we decided against having a house full of people, but still making it a great day for him. Jessie of course made his cake which turned out AMAZING!! Zack is this totally quiet and reserved kid, but when he opens up watch out!! He is SO funny and loving and just darn CUTE!! He hardly fusses over things kids would normally make into a big deal like doing his breathing treatments everyday, he just puts on his little mask turns it on himself and sits there. He also has started preschool already at Brighter day to help with his speech, and that has been weird having all three of my boys in school, but he loves it and is always saying now "my teacher says ..." its really funny. I am just so blessed to have Zachary in my life, he makes me stay sane with his adorable dimples and big smile! Love ya Zack!!



First day of preschool



Isn't this cake AWESOME!!

CHEESE

we told him we wanted him to take a picture with his train tracks, so he laid down haha

Party Time!!

WOW has it almost been another month since Ive posted? I seriously don't know how the days are going by SO fast!! Ok so we had Halloween, which was SO fun, we had some friends over from San Carlos and did the trunk or treating. Then we Celebrated Willey's 30th, YES I said 30th, birthday!! Love that Man!! He didn't want a party, just a pistol (such a guy). And then we celebrated Josh's 6th birthday!! We let him has his first friends only party and he invited I think about every boy from his class!! We had it at the Firestation and the boys were SO excited to hear all about what they do and to see all the firetrucks. It was such a fun night with 16 boys total!! Jessica Little made an AMAZING motorbike track cake which was awwed and ohhhed over all night! And it was delicious!! I just can't believe Josh is 6 already, he is just the most caring, sweet and fun loving kid ever!!

Willey telling them all about the oxygen tanks

Look how they are all looking up at willey, then think Josh's dad has the best job ever! haha

Im feeling Crafty

I am totally not the "crafty" type of person, but have been seeing all these adorable crafts all over so I figured why not? These pumpkins are my first crafts of the season (I know all you crafty gals are thinking um these are SO easy haha and yes they were), and it made me VERY excited to do more! 

OCTOBER

Ok, Im a slacker yet again! We have had so many fun things and I am just BARELY blogging about them!
We got a book called "Amelia Bedelias first Apple Pie", and at the end there was a recipe on how to make apple pies. Josh asked if we could please please please make some, I thought What the heck why not. It took SO long (I don't have an apple peeler) I made my own crust and everything, and of course I can't just follow the recipe exactly, but FINALLY we finished around 8:30 that night!! The boys had a blast and really loved making the pies but especially loved EATING the pies!

My first try at homemade apple pies!!

The boys were such good helpers with the crust

Say "Apple PIE"

This was prebaked-They turned out SO great and tasted pretty good I thought :)!
