Once I got all of these pics uploaded I was too lazy to rearrange them...sorry. Here are some of the cute, fun, and crafty things of late.
Older brother decided to wipe this Petshop Hamster's bottom while I changed the baby. Never too late to start practicing... :)
Love this little man. Six months in 2 days! Where does the time go?
A Christmas tradition for my hub's family: dipping homemade toffee and caramel in chocolate. The best part for the girls?...Hmm, I wonder?
Nativity on Christmas eve. The kids loved it because hubs and his brothers made it rather entertaining.
Thanksgiving in Utah at my sister's house. It was a wonderful time!
We stopped by Moab for a few days to visit hubby's family on his dad's side. The kids loved playing with all of the cousins and doing lots of rock climbing and exploring.
Best part of my life!!!!
My sis-in-law, Kailie, posted this idea on her blog (http://kbreit.blogspot.com/2012/01/diy-scrap-fabric-wreath.html), and I loved it so much, I decided to make one last night. Mine came out looking totally different because I used several different fabrics and they were heavier in weight, but I like how it turned out, just the same. Notice the cute little something poking out in the bottom left corner of the picture above. ;)
Remember these? I think they look much better!
Notice all the butterflies?
Over Christmas break, we went to Pacific Grove and enjoyed the beach and Monarch butterflies.
This was probably one of the most random posts ever, but hey, I posted right? With pics this time...
Finally, a question!!!
What do all you ladies do with your childrens' hand-me-downs, storage speaking? I have 10+ boxes of clothes sitting around, taking up valuable, limited closet space. I don't want to get rid of all the girls' clothes, in case our next child is a girl, but I hate storing all of it. Have any of you found a magical solution to dealing with hand-me-downs? I would love some advice!

Space bags. You can buy them at Target and you use your vacuum cleaner to suck the air out of the bags. You can store about 5 times the amount of stuff. Great for storage and even for vacations!
I was going to recommend space bags as well.
I love the pictures!!! They're so cute! I also love the little fingers sticking out the door. ;) Great wreath! I've been thinking about making one too, ever since I read Kailie's blog.
Thanks for updating! I love your posts, little sis!
Space is a huge issue for us as well (we'll soon be 5 crammed into 650 square feet). What I've done is get small boxes (these ones from ikea: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50166917/), one for each size of clothing. And I only keep as many clothes as will fit in each size group in those boxes. They store pretty great (I keep most of them under the crib), and it keeps me always carefully going through the clothes and only keeping the items that are not too worn out.
Hey I love the randomness! That's pretty much the story of my life. :) It's so fun to see pics of your kiddos and how they're growing up. Too, too cute. I had to laugh at the monarch butterfly pic--Jared's family took me to that same place and we didn't see a single one. :) And if it's not too personal to ask, how many kids do you guys want? Mentioning the next one already...and are you agreed? I'm still trying to talk Jared into five. he he.
As far as the stockings go, if you really want to see the "up close" pics, I did a post on them in Feb 2010. It's called "Done, Done, Doooone!" And thanks for the compliment!
I love all of these! The wreath looks so fun! I'm glad it worked out for you. As far as storage goes...well I dont know much about that yet, we are still trying to figure out how to use up empty space! I guess kids will take care of that :)
