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!

Make your own Chalk Paint

I came across this recipe to make your own chalk paint.

I want to try it.

I love the buffet she painted.

I need to find one for my house :)

Have a great weekend!

Almond Flour Waffles

I am in love with the site Comfy Belly.

The recipes are excellent if you have allergies!

I want to try these waffles.
