Your Caught Back up!

Hello Again!  It's been awhile -no excuses i have been busy being a mom....

I thought i would post a few pictures of what life has been like lately and what's new.

Well Henry has really been learning to talk and he can repeat some words back and remember what they mean.  He is now able to say and understand what they mean 34 words to this day... proud mama and he also is a little man that loves to make sounds of things he see or hears. There is no dull day here!

Bella has been in swimming lessons for the last 6 weeks and is doing another 6 more weeks. She has found something she really enjoys. Her swim teacher says she has great form and is a strong swimming. Bella also has been reading chapter books like crazy, and is able to retain what she is reading.

Kate has also been in swimming lessons the last few weeks but was not able to find a spot in the class she need this round. She was ok with not doing it! She isn't into it like Bella is and that is ok.  She has really been stepping up on helping around the house. She ask me all the time if she can doing something, and lord knows i can always find something for them to do!  She also has been improving on her reading and spelling. This girl can spell!!! So proud

Scott has been kicking butt at his weight goal.... I am so proud of what he has done and the goals that he has set for himself. He has been researching and trying new things in hopes for that working for him. Life is about trials and errors and he conquering the weight loss roller coaster.  He also had been working 6 days a week at work right before the holidays so i am so glad he normal hours are back and we see him more. I think he is too!

I have been enjoying more time at the sewing machine. I got a new desk and it is now my designated sewing area. We made room in our bedroom for it all and now i don't have to hunt down all the stuff i need to do a project from different areas of the house. I already made a sewing machine cover, book carrier, and the girls each got a bed organizer for the books and night time gear. I am hoping to sew some projects and open up my etsy store again or start a Facebook page and sell them on there.  Future dreams!!!!

We have not been able to enjoy the outdoors with this nasty below temps we have had lately so it's becoming a long winter.  Scott and I are planning a vacation hopefully in March to take the girls to Disney World. A life long goal of ours and i'm excited to order the tickets and surprise them with it. So many details and stuff to plan that it really becomes overwhelming but yet so exciting.

I am hoping to get back to blogging again more regularly, maybe i need to schedule myself in!!!! :)

Well here are some fun pictures from the last few months. In no particular order!
