Family Pictures

So we got our family pictures taken! And I am so excited to share them! I decided to get us all in blues, we could just wear jeans (yes, Danger has blue jeans, and they are soooo cute!!) and we each had blue shirts to wear that we didn't have to buy! Awesomeness! Bandit was behaving and we got some smiles out of Danger! It was pretty fun. We took the pictures at the same place I took my bridals and the place we took our engagements. It's a pretty special place to us. Cami Hess took our pictures. Check her out at Cami Hess Photography. Ready for a photo dump?

Yay for smiley baby and smiley family!! Our photos were taken by Cami Hess, over at Cami Hess Photography. How awesome are these pictures?! Great job, right? I love them!

slithering

so I understand I have been MIA, again. Yeah, it seems I'll get all ambitious and motivated and blog 3 posts at once, then drop off the bus for 3 weeks. Ugh. My bad.

So lately I've been trying to take more walks, get out more and hang out with friends and stuff. Plus I've been making things for Christmas and baby gifts and cute things like that.

Little Man has been eating rice cereal and single grain stuff for about a month, and 2 weeks ago he tried carrots. HE LOVED THEM!! Last week we tried sweet potatoes. He loved those too! He leans into scarf down the whole spoon! He's like a little Shark!! It's so dang cute. He's been kinda crawling, more like slithering. Anyways, when I put him in one spot, he ends up somewhere different. Baby gates are coming!!

I've been making some little sock monkeys. And by making I mean crocheting. A friend had me make one for her sister who's pregnant. And I loved it so much I decided to make another one for my cousin who is pregnant. (Plus I know quite a few who are pregnant or who have had little ones!)

Shark and I got family pictures taken two weeks ago. And I LOVE how they turned out! I am so happy with them and with the gal we got to take them.

I found Cami Hess on KSL, and she took amazing pictures. Head over to Cami Hess Photography to check her out!

Pretty sure my little guy is the cutest little guy ever! He took a nose dive a scrapped up his nose this past week, and then got his 6 month shots the next day. Let's just say it's been a rough week for the little boy. But he's been smiling and playing and being all kinds of cute anyways.

Love and smiles to all!

monkey and little man

So off and on I have been hinting about a crochet project that I had been working on and finished but still hadn't posted about. Well get ready, here comes the post about the crochet monkey. I'm pretty sure I found this pattern on the magical Pinterest. It's called Big Crochet Monkey Pattern. I liked how it looked and I wanted to make something fun for Danger to tug around with him when he starts to walk and stuff. Something he could drag and toss around. I bought some Simply Soft by Caron. And since I still have my love affair with blue green and orange, I had to use green and blue, of course. Here's how it turned out.

Isn't that so cute and cuddly? Plus it's kind of dorky looking, which Shark says makes it better, easier to love, I guess. Plus that little cutey holding the monkey makes EVERYTHING around him cuter!!

workin it

So, I've come to realize, I'm really not as lazy as I think I am. Some days I am. Most days I'm not. Most days I'm out and about town running around. Going shopping, making calls, finding things about. Searching for things. Cooking things, making things. Fighting that monster baby. And lately I have been working. Ok, so I scorekeep 2 maybe 3 night a week. Tuesday, Thursdays and sometimes Saturdays. It's great cuz Shark works Thursdays and everyother Saturday he's just sleeping anyways, so it just means I get out of the house without spending money! yayayay!

Anyways, in my last post about being a couch 'tater, I mentioned that I was planning on getting things done around the house. Well, I did end up folding all the laundry in the picture and I did put away the Easter stuff. However, I have since washed and dried more laundry and, I'll tell ya, for a while it sat in my living room, unfolded, just scuzzing me. Well I finally folded it Monday night. I had motivation! I had a mini craft/ladies night with some girls in my ward!

Now I say mini cuz I didn't get the word out to all the gals. But it was way fun! We crocheted, lots of crocheting! I was helping some girls to learn how to crochet, and my neighbor Megan was helping girls learn too. It was lots of fun. We're having another little get together next week too. Hopefully I won't be such a sloth and I'll tell all the girls. Eventually I'd like to have it on a Saturday evening or something, cuz our ward does EVERYTHING on Wednesday.

In prep for the craft night, I tried many times to clean my house. I really did. Yesterday I even planned my errands accordinly. I ran all over this county and the next. I did make a trip up to the BDO Outlet to snag some Lofthouse cookies on the cheap. {If you live in Northern Utah, that is the place to get cheap cookies!!} They had so much other stuff there too! I was amazed! Anyways, so I scored 2 big huge trays of Lofthouse cookie amazingness for $6, some Corn Pops, and some Dew. {Oh how I have missed the Dew!!} It was a pretty awesome trip. I have fallen in love with bakery outlets. Enroute, I saw the Hostess bakery outlet and stopped by and got some Cupcakes on the cheap too. {Shark and I have a cute tradition. He bought some on one of our month-iversary's while we were dating, and even though we've missed a few months, we still try to eat cupcakes together sometime during the month, around the 19th.} And as always, I love being close to the Sara Lee bakery outlet, cuz I can get my Grandma Sycamore's for $1. Best. Bread. Ever.

Anyways I came home and the house was clean. Shark cleaned the whole house for me. Swept the kitchen, vacuumed, picked up everything. I love him so much. I loved his so much even before he cleaned the whole house, but it really means alot to me that he picked up everything. He is an amazing husband who does so much for me and our little family.

Smile thru everything. :)
