Leah!

So the other day both kids had been down for naps for awhile and so I decided to do my dishes that I had been avoiding all day...and well I was almost done with the dishes and all of the sudden I could hear Keyan's toy started going off. I just thought that I was hearing things but then it went off again and so I walked into the living room and Leah had gotten up from her nap and came downstairs and climbed into Keyans toy. It was funny because she is always wanting to play with his toys well when she was finished she actually could not get out of his toy. Leah you sure make me laugh.

My Cute Kids

I walked into the living room the other day and I asked Leah what she was doing. She informed me that she was reading books to Keyan. This made me laugh because she was not even showing him the pictures. But she was making up all the stories that went along with the pictures as if she was reading out loud to Keyan. She is just so cute. Way to go Leah for trying to read and also for reading to your brother Keyan.

Valentine Wreath

I actually don't remember when we made these but I do know that it was before Valentines day. Actually I think that it was the day that Garrett (my little brother) got engaged. Anyways, my mother really wanted to make a Valentine Wreath like my little sister Nichole had made. When Nichole was out here she helped my mom get started and so later mom wanted to do a craft day and we got together and made these. Mom ended up with some extra ribbon and so I got to make one as well. I never realized how much glue it would take how many burned fingers I would have at the end. 

I do have a funny story about wrapping my wreath base. I first got the same ribbon as my mom and started wrapping my wreath when I only made it a quarter around my wreath rim I ran out of ribbon. So I unwrapped it and tried a different ribbon wanting my base to be all the same color. I got a little further around the base and I ran out again. So, again I started unwrapping the ribbon. So, being that it was 8pm I decide to run to the Family Dollar Store. I picked up two spools of ribbon and came back wrapped my wreath base and only made it half way around again..at this point I almost gave up but ended up going back to Family Dollar and getting two more spools of ribbon and then finally got started on my wreath. I am glad that I kept going. 

I thought that it turned out really good. It was also a really cute decoration for Valentines Day. Thanks mom for making me keep going when I was about to give up.

Big Sister Leah

The other day I walked into the room and found Leah and Keyan playing on the floor together. Leah would move the toys around and Keyan would laugh. They were so cute that I had to take these pictures. Leah loves being a big sister.
