Happy Holidays!

I know-I've completely been slacking!! We had a fabulous Christmas! Jase got a train set, which he loves, and an Optimus Prime transformer which he loves more :) Little action figures are Jase's thing right now and the toy bins are now overflowing with them!!! We went to Idaho the weekend before Christmas to be with Brampa Dave, Brama Carolyn and Brampa Hall! I, of course, only took one photo and it was of the roads on the way home! We had the Browning/Telford Christmas party at Mommy Deary's on Wednesday, spent Christmas Eve with Oma & Papa and then relaxed and took our time opening our gifts Christmas morning with no plans to go anywhere! Matthew and I had put Jase's train together the night before and had put the gate up at the top of the stairs so he couldn't go down and start without us. He woke up at 5:30ish but just came in bed with Matthew and I and didn't get up until 8:30!!! (this may be the last year that happens!) He went to the top of the stairs and whispers "WOW"!!! It was so cute! Matthew said 'what is it' and Jase whispers in an excited voice "it's a choo choo"!! He was thrilled! Later that day, we went to my grandparents house and hung out for a few hours then came home and relaxed! The following day, we went with my family and saw Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel. It was really cute and Jase loved it!
New Years Eve was a great day! My sister, Kim, had her baby so I spent the afternoon with her! Then I went and picked Jase up from Jessica's (thanks for letting him play with you guys!) and went and got Matthew and we went to Bonsai for dinner...Mmmmm!! After that, we went to see Kim again so that Matthew could meet the baby. Then we went to Drew & Randi's for a couple of hours and came home around 10pm and put Jase to bed. I watched Matthew play his new video game (Unchartered) and then we watched a little bit of the New Years shows on TV. We actually ended up turning it off at 11:45 and went upstairs so that Matthew could vomit :) All he ate for dinner was sushi and it did not agree with his tummy! He felt much better right before midnight hit, though, so that's good!
All in all, the Holidays were fabulous for us!! It just keeps getting better!

Say What!!!
I'll be your Huckleberry!

Jenny update

No baby. Dr. says that everything appears to be just fine, though. I have an ultrasound on Monday to make sure that my (occassional) lower abdonmen pains aren't anything to be concerned of. Took a thyroid test and will have those results and my 'any infections test' results back by end of next week. I will be taking some regular ovulation tests through the rest of the year to make sure that that is still happening as it should be. She also recommended that since I was on the border of diabetes in my last pregnancy, and since I have gained 20 lbs since then (yes, I just said that out loud) that I need to exercise 3 days a week which will also help my chances of becoming preggo and will help my moodiness. I feel better but still not so great-it's never fun getting a negative. Hopefully I can stop stressing so much. Who knows.....maybe I will be able to announce some good baby news on Christmas!

My new venture!

Hello everyone!!!
I am branching out from my calendars and Scrap-Plaques to add a few different things to my list of crafted items and I need help deciding on a name! Since I won't only be doing stuff that involves Scrappin, I need to change it up!
I will now also be making aprons and baby burp cloths, crocheted beanie hats (if I can get the hang of it!), purses and possibly some baby wipe box covers and car seat blanket covers. So take a vote on the poll to the right and let me know what you think!! If you have other suggestions, please tell, I would love to hear them! thanks for your input!

Magic marker on the wall....

Who's the culprit of it all?
This little bug decided to show off his artistic skills! ALL OVER MY WALLS! 9 walls to be exact! Plus a white counter, 2 picture frames, my tile floor, Matthew's desk and Matthew's computer monitor. Boy was he lucky that I found a fabulous website with idea's on how to remove permanent marker! I used toothpaste on his little hands and cheeks and the tile. Then Matthew used spray-on sunscreen to get it off of the picture frames, his desk, and luckily...his monitor! Phew! I just can't seem to get it off of my painted walls. I'm going to try the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser but if that doesn't work, I'll be doing a lot of painting touch-ups in 3 different colors! Boy he's lucky he's cute!!

Date Night!

I can't even remember the last time Matthew and I went on a date night with just the two of us. We were definitely due for one so Uncle Mitchell (Mishol to Jase) came to play and Matthew and I were free for the night! We went to TGIFriday's for dinner. I never used to like that place but i have found something on their menu that I love so I don't mind it so much anymore! Then we went and saw Law Abiding Citizen. It is SUCH a good show! There are a few things in there I wish I hadn't have seen but other than that-loved it! After the movie, I told Matthew that I expect nothing less of him if what happened in the film were to ever happen to me. He said "absolutely". Awe! Such love! haha Then we went and got Baskin Robbins and brought some home for Mitchell which he so kindly shared with his buddy Jasers. When he was getting ready to leave, Jase threw his arms around Mitch's neck and held on for dear life! He was crying when we took him out of his arms and screamed when he walked out the door. Mishol! Mishol! It was so sad but so cute! Thanks for hanging out with Jase while we had a night out Mitchykins! Love ya!
