Ladybug Nursery

I have been working on my little girls Ladybug nursery for a while now. I am almost done with it, and I think that it turned out so cute! Dave painted the walls yellow (this is so the nursery can go girl or boy in the future!). I color scheme is red, black, and a touch of yellow! I love red. So there is an assortment of didn't patterns in the bumper and quilt, with a lot of different polka dots to help the theme of ladybug continue! There were some that were skeptical that it wasn't girly enough- but at the end of the project everyone loves it (Dave is very proud of our nursery). I added a touch of bows throughout to bring in the girlyness. I have purchased a ladybug rug to make the theme continue through the room. Having a girl is making me stretch in ways that I have never stretched before. So I will keep you posted on how things are going!!

A funny story!

Jonathan is a social little boy! He loves to be with his cousins! He tries to so what ever they are doing. Well, I know that Luke can't wait till Jonathan can play with him even more. Yesterday, we were at my parents for Sunday dinner. Jonathan was playing with the kids and then he was on Papa's lap. Then we hear a loud cry from Lukey. Kristi asks him what is the matter, he says (while he is crying) Jonathan told me NO! I busted up, my food almost came out of my mouth. I look at Jonathan and he is as content as can be on Papa' lap. But the funny thing is that Jonathan doesn't even talk yet!

SuperBowl Underdogs!

My sweetie didn't like the background so I am changing it for him. He wants this one till the Superbowl. And then he said he would change it to something else.

Love and Excitement!

Well, for Christmas Dave got me a scooba- it is amazing! I love it! If you don't know what it is, it is robot that sweeps and mops at the same time. I put it on my list, not thinking that I would get it! But, I did I was so surprised. Dave got a awesome deal on it at woot.com (they have great deals everyday of something new!) My brother got one and they said they watched it while it mopped the first time cause it is amazing how it does it! I use it every other day- it makes me so happy to have a clean floor! It would be like once a month getting the floor mopped (gross I know!), but now it is every other day! It is wonderful!
Last week I had one of those tender mercy experience that Heavenly Father gave to me. Jonathan is a normal little boy that loves to explore, not much cuddling comes from him (He gives hugs and kisses but no cuddling). Well, I was getting Jonathan ready for bed, I gave him a bath. After, the bath he was way cold so I bundled him up and held him. I was able to keep cuddling with him. So I read and sang to him- and he just let me hold him as long as I wanted. So I hummed to him, as we waited for Daddy to some home from work! Jonathan feel asleep before Daddy got home and so when Dad got home he took a picture of us. It was a sweet moment that I had with Jonathan and just cherished it as he slept in my arms!

Time Flies!

This is on Christmas Eve at Grammy's and Papa's. Jonathan is clapping- they all look so cute!
Jonathan and Great Great Grandma! Jonathan loves to go over to my parents cause there is lots of Grandparents that come in and out- he loves getting attention!
This is Jonathan on his new slide. He wasn't sure about it at first. He wasn't sure how to get down. Now he loves climbing what ever way he can, to get up the slide!
This is Jonathan trying to get to the light to turn it off, he has discovered light switches and always wants to turn them off or on. After, he turns the switch off he has to look around to see if it did anything! He is a smart little boy!
Dad was working on his room and Jonathan was just content on the step stool and watching cars or what ever is outside. He loves to look outside when ever he can. For Christmas he got a new car seat and he enjoys rides a little bit more now that he can see a little bit better!
I have been informed that it has been last year since I have blogged! So I am finally making time to blog. It seems, as of late, that I have so many things to do and projects to finish in a short time. That blogging has been put on the back burner! So I will just update with what is going on in our family with the pictures that we have been taking!
