New Accessories for My Girls...

 With 3 little girls in my house and another on the way, it is time (way over due) to make some new hair accessories for my girls...FINALLY!! Well, deciding to close my shop and taking a 6 week break from school has allowed me to do just that! So here is what I have done in the last few days...

I have a 5 year old that will only wear streamers, a 4 year old who LOVES bows (she's momma's girl), and a 15 month old who tries to pull everything out of her hair. And one of our twins on the way is a girl..SO...bows, streamers, and flowers are always welcome in our home :)

34 + Weeks and Counting...

Today we are 34 weeks and 2 days!! Yep, we made it to the mark in which my doctor said I must make it to...34 Weeks :) Now that I have reached that mark, labor will not be stopped when ever these babies decide to come. That is a HUGE relief...especially concidering that my belly is measuring 44 weeks. I knew my belly was getting rather large but not quite that large. But concidering 98% of my materninty clothes are no longer fitting me... the next few days to weeks I am going to be lounging in my husbands 2XL t-shirts... hopefully those will fit. His solution is a TOGA! He is so sweet :)

After the news that I recieved from the doctor on Friday, being 3 cm dilated and 80% effaced already, I became quite certain that I am not quite as ready for these babies, or family, as I thought I was. So, with the boys gone to Northern Nevada to spend time with family and take part in all the yearly branding, the girls and I decided we were going to clean, clean, clean. That is how we spent our Saturday, while my husband worked a 15 hour shift, the girls and I worked our tails off, and I thanked them with a trip to Sonic...which is a big deal since it literally takes 20 + minutes to get to it.  Needless to say, once I was winding down last night around 9:30 or so, I was feeling the like I was 44 weeks preganant!! SO SORE!!! This morning...I felt like a freight train and done me in and then some...OUCH!!

Today we ventured out into Provo Canyon since the weather was so beautiful. We took a few walks in a few different parks, took some roads we did not know existed, and enjoyed lunch and the beautiful scenery...

34 Weeks and 2 Days....Looking 44 Weeks!!

Just The Girls!

It was a great day, and the only way it could have been any better would have been to have our boys with us. But we know that they are having a great time :)

So, as we continue to prepare for these babies...even though I am not sure how much more we can prepare for...I would love for them to make it to 36 weeks in the womb, but not sure that is going to happen. That would most likely require me keeping my feet up and not doing a whole lot in the next 12 days...Not sure that is possible. I do have another ultrasound scheduled for this coming Friday, but my doctor does not seem to think I will make it to that one...I would not mind seeing them on the screen one more time :)

First Girl with Stitches...

It has happened...Emilee is our first girl with stitches. 12 to be exact!! Of course it is bound to happen, but when you combind Big Brother Tate, Miss Emilee, and a Baseball Bat...it can't be pretty! Of course it was an accident and after it was all said and done, he (Tate) felt terrible and all Emilee could say was, "It's ok Tate, it was just an accident." Talk about a tear jerker moment for a very hormonal mom. Emilee was quick to tell the doctor at the IntaCare that her brother would be making her bed for a VERY long time :) Such a Cutie...

Emilee was such a trooper, so of course Daddy had to get her a special treat after we were all done. Hopefully this is the last set of stitches that we have to deal with, for our girls at least, for a VERY long time!!

Felt Flowers...

Ok, I have really been wanting to make some felt flowers for my girls...but really did not want to have to take the time to hand cut all the flowers...so, I googled "Cutting Felt with Cricut". Low and behold...it can be done :) I found this blog...JoysLife.com and she has all the info about cutting out felt with her Cricut...and it works!! So, lots of felt to come from this house. Good thing there are almost 4 girls here to wear them all :) I am selling these ones...well except for the 5 layered one becuase I made more for my girls...

Check out Sweet.Bee.Bowtique blog and Etsy for all the details :)

Yesterday brought lots of Purse Notebooks...Look How Cute!!!

Ok....so yesterday was my birthday and I decided I was going to spend a very good portion of my day working on fun stuff...not laundry, cleaning, or more cleaning. So, I finally got to a project that I have wanted to do for quite sometime...Purse Notebooks.

My Mess...I miss my old crafty table...now it is the kitchen counter.

Girls - N - Curls

Ok...so I thought I got suckered into this curling iron when we were at the mall the other day...BUT, once I used it on the girls...I didn't. It is totally awesome and works great. It took me about 20 minutes or so to do Shaelee's hair and about 15 or less on Emilee's. Then....my sweet Shaelee tells me after I have finished her hair that she want a ponytail. Of course she did not get it :)
