Projects!

These scripture tote bags were the easiest things I have EVER MADE! It seriously only took 10 min each. They are made out of placemats. I got mine from Walmart . I made them for the girls to take their little scriptures to church, but they are a lot bigger than that, they easily fit a Quad with room for other little things as well. If I didn't have a Primary bag to take my scriptures in, I would definately have one of these. Here is the link that I went to, to learn how. Or if you are interested I could easily tell you.

Or here is a website to buy them from or get more cuter ideas. They are a lot cuter than mine!

And this car seat tent was fun as well. Not as easy, but still pretty simple because I am not a person that sews a lot. So I had to use a few of my 4-H skills from when I was 12. I wish I would've made it sooner to get more use out of it though, Mason is getting too heavy to carry in his car seat now.This probably took me a couple hours to do. I put fleece on the underneath and I would not recommend that, it's too thick. But here is the tutorial to make this one you will need it.

Wow, where has the time gone? Having three children really does take that time away.I can't believe Mason will be 4 months on Sat already. We tried to start feeding him cereal, but he doesn't like it much, as he doesn't like anything else besides my boob. Jaren says that is what comes with him being a boy. Well all I can say is that better stop really soon, cuz I can't do it all, all the time.
Anyway I think I decided that we can have more than 3 kids now, I have adjusted better now. Except at nights, they are a little stressful still. I start hollering at Jaren around 5 o'clock to get him to come in the house, then by 6 he actually listens and comes in. But other than needing more time in the day we are doing great. Business is going great! Finally slowing down a little, so now we can catch up. Now if we can get people to pay their bills we will be even better. If anybody has a great idea on how to do that let me know, please!!! So here are a few pictures of what we have been doing the last couple months.

More Updates, Yah!!!!

Wow, where does the time go?? Since Mason was born I can't get ANYTHING done. He eats every 2 hours. He is so different than the girls, obviously. I thought I had this parenting thing down until I had him. Having 3 kids is really hard for me right know. I don't know how to juggle my time. So if any of you super moms with more than 3 kids out there have any secrets in staying sane through the day please fill me in. Right now I think I would be good with only 3 kids, got one of each now, they all fit in the car don't have to buy a bigger one, they all COULD have their own room, but the girls share right now, I think I could be comfortable with the way things are right now. But give me 3 or 4 more years, I think that is the trick for me is to space them out farther apart, and I might want more. Right now I just feel very claustrophobic. BUT I LOVE MY KIDS SO MUCH!!!!!! So in another month I might get some time to post again.

Wow! It's been a month already?

I have been so busy this last month mainly trying to get ready for this baby to come. I painted the baby's room or I guess I could call him by his name which is going to be Mason Wade. So now i am trying to get it all decorated by the time he comes. And I didn't think that that was enough for me to do so I painted the girls room too. It looks so cute. When I get it ALL done I will post pictures. I still have to build Brooklyn a bed too, so that we can have the crib for Mason. And I have to do all of this before the baby comes because I know I wont have time to do it after and I know Jaren won't make time to do it. So here is a baby update. Ya nothing very exciting. This week and last week I was dialated to a 2. The head is still up there a little bit and cervix is still pretty thick. I asked him today what he is thinking about when we can have this baby. And he says that he doesn't want to start me any earlier than a week so if I haven't gone by the 30th he will probably start me, ok he will start me. We all know even the Doc that this baby is big and I dont want to wait just for him to tell me that the baby is too big to come down and we are going to have to do a C-section. He said that maybe because there is too much fluid in there, that that is what is keeping him from coming down, he's just floating around. So I don't know. I guess just wait another week and see.

So besides all that and helping Jaren do whatever he needs help with. I am just trying to patiently wait for our new baby boy. Boy am I excited to finally have a boy. TOO MUCH drama in my house right now.
