A New Baby

Our sweet Nellie was born at home on January 24th. My babies arrive late...I was very excited when she decided to come at 41 weeks! There is something so special about having a newborn around. I absolutely love it! The delivery was great- super fast and Nellie weighed in at 9 lb. 1 oz. My biggest baby yet! We are all so much in love and I wish the newborn stage lasted a little bit longer.


So perfect!

Christmas 2012


Hello again. 
One of my goals for 2013 is to post more often. I've really neglected my blog since I have been pregnant. My baby is due in 2 weeks and hopefully I will have a little more motivation after she arrives...but we'll see...3 kids...under the age of 3...maybe not? 
We had a great Christmas. Dieter and Samantha both got cowboy hats and boots. I made them this teepee from Ana White. They love it! It was fun to see how excited Dieter was on Christmas morning. Now I am getting my house ready for the baby to arrive. I'm glad my nesting stage has kicked in. It seems my house has been a disaster until now. 

Happy New Year everyone! 
I'm excited to see what 2013 brings.

Our Growing Family



I have had no motivation to blog! We are expecting a baby girl in January and are super excited! I don't know about you, but when I am pregnant I don't get a whole lot of stuff done. I told Kimball I can accomplish one thing around the house a day. Really one thing...don't come to my house. Most days it's pretty scary. But, I'm okay with the chaos because I know it will pass when my sweet little girl is here!

Birthdays!








We celebrated Dieter and Samantha's birthdays over the weekend.
Samantha's birthday was May 11th and Dieter's June 11th. 
Dieter was so excited! 
He has been waiting for everyone to sing to him :)
And he has been practicing holding up 3 fingers. (it's hard work for a little one).
I made these cupcakes with marshmallow frosting.
They loved them!

My attempt to take the kids swimming


It wasn't very successful. 
We made it to the city pool.
The have an awesome play area for little ones.
Dieter wanted to sit on the bench and eat his snacks. The. Whole. Time.
When we finally made it to the water, he didn't want to get in.
Samantha was terrified and clung to my neck.
Dieter eventually stepped in the water and I think he even laid down in it.
Next time, I will take Kimball.
I thought Samantha looked adorable in her swim suit though.
I love the chubby thighs!

Camping


We had a short camping trip over the weekend. 
Being in the mountains is so peaceful and relaxing.
Kimball has been working out of town so this was a fun little trip for our family.

Dieter loved the river best. 
Throwing rocks is his thing!

I also loved the river.
Especially the sound. 
Somehow, I need to move a river into my backyard. :)

Slacking...

My motivation is completely lacking to blog.
My kids are so much happier when I'm not on the computer as much.
In fact, I feel happier too.
It's amazing how many other things I can accomplish 
when I'm not on the computer. 
Pulling weeds, planting, feeding animals, cleaning (definitely unmotivated to do that), 
playing with my kids, reading, sewing, the list goes on...

Hopefully motivation comes back soon :)

I made this adorable dress for Samantha. 
I was so proud of myself! 
It is the first thing I have sewed while following a pattern. 
It turned out great. 


I'm excited to start sewing more often.
Find pattern here.



Have a fabulous weekend!
See you next week!

And she is 1...




Samantha's birthday is today!
I'm not sure where that year went?

She has brought so much happiness into our home.
She is always happy!
She loves to blow kisses and wave goodbye.
She will only sleep next to her mama at night. (I know. I know.)
She loves Dieter.
I think her favorite thing to do is play on the bed with Daddy and Dieter.
She loves watching the chickens. 


Kimball is out of town working today.
We will plan a combined birthday party for Dieter and Samantha. 


Happy Mother's Day to all of you wonderful Mothers out there!
Kimball asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day. 
I said, "Don't worry, I have myself covered with these shoes."

Have a great time with your families!
