Newest papercutting

Here's one that I just finished today. It is for Holly. I sure hope she likes it!

So, I am back

Where have I been? I don't really know. I bought a set of books from eBay because I thought it would be easier to get them all at once instead of waiting. I can't put the darn things down. The book series is the Left Behind series and in about two weeks I have read the first four. These are not short books, but they are pretty easy to read. I can't stop reading them! So, I when I finished the fourth book last night, I told Chuck I had to stop, he said I know, you've been gone for too long. I have even neglected my household duties! So, book number 5 will just have to wait, at least another day or too!

Other things going on:

I believe Lily has Fifth Disease, she has a hivey rash all over the legs, arms and her face. It looks terrible, but other than having the hive spots, she's fine. We went skating yesterday, hadn't been in a long time, here are some pictures.



I have also been doing some paper cuttings. Here is my latest one I did for Erika:

Cool Girl

Lily goes to the doctor

Today Lily had her two year old check up. She was quite the patient, she even had to put on a little gown, it was so cute. She had the intern eating out of her hand and of course the doc was pretty taken with her too, but that's nothing knew. He's been that way with her since she was born. She did have to get two shots, of wish she wasn't too happy about, but she got over it quickly!

Our Zoo Trip

I know we go to the zoo a lot, and I know that I take a lot of pictures when I'm there, but the kids do such fun stuff there, I have too and I have too share it. So here are some pictures from our zoo trip! Here we are at the Desert Dome. This was the first trip to the zoo without a stroller!!! Skyler did a great job helping keep his sister in line!










Um- hello cutie pie! No, she says, "Lily," as she points to herself!


















Hey there Nora, what are you doing down here? When you are at the zoo, you aren't supposed to be down on the ground! Come on, let's go walk!














Whose the monkey here?

Thanks Rachel and Kaleb

We love our new swing set!

Who knows what's next?

Today is Friday. That's just great. Hmm, tell me what you think of this. Skyler wanted China Road for lunch today. We went and got it and came home to eat it. I went to the kitchen to get it ready and Skyler went to his room, got in bed and fell asleep. Geez, I wonder if the kid is sick. That was over an hour ago and he's still sleeping. I know that there are a lot of people out there with way bigger problems than mine. For instance The CF Husband. He has a micropreemie baby and his wife has cystic fibrosis and just has a double lung transplant. Now, that's having a lot on your plate and earning the right to complain. But, I am so sick of everyone in this house being sick and don't know what to do to prevent it from happening, nor do I even know how to handle it anymore!

Dishwashers

Skyler has been asking to do the dishes after dinner. Okay, like I would say no to that! Well of course, it isn't just Skyler, Lily has to help too. I'm not really sure if it helps me, or makes more work for me in the end, but they sure have fun and it gives Chuck and I a few minutes to talk like adults!

Lily's Ladybug Party

Lily had so much fun with her friends today! They came over for a ladybug party and fun was had by all.
