For those who were brave enough to sign up for me to make them something; I am pretty excited! I have it narrowed down to a couple choices, but you will have to wait and see what it will end up being! For Cari, Aimie and Taya, the lucky (we'll see if you still think so after you get your thing!) ones, I need to know what is a favorite quote/scripture of yours and what colors do you like/have in your homes.
Thanks

Almost done
As I am writing this, my two-year-old is in the tub and my two-month-old is snuggled up with Daddy downstairs so I have a few blissful moments where I can just sit and take a breath. There is a gigantic pile of laundry next to me waiting to be folded (I am pretty proud of myself; I spent the whole day doing laundry and can now say there is not a dirty piece of laundry anywhere in our house . . . at least for the next hour until Jeremy and I change for bed.), but it is going to keep on waiting!
Our family finally caught the dreaded cold that has been passed around everywhere, but only half of us have been afflicted. Kadin and I have been sniffling and coughing for the last couple days, but Jeremy and Kylee are thus far safe. Let's hope it stays that way; I really don't want to have a sick baby!
Other than that, not a whole lot has been going on in our lives. I am trying to think what is new or exciting and the answer is, truthfully, not much. I am getting antsy for spring and warm weather; both because I hate being cold all the time and because Kadin really needs to get out of the house and be outside to burn off some of his excess energy. But I think that is still a little ways off seeing as how it snowed again today! Nothing stuck, but the gently falling flakes have lost their charm and I would be plenty happy to not see them again anytime soon!
I have found a new obesssion; making bows for Kylee. Thanks Annie and your great online how-to book! I went to the craft store this weekend and picked up a ton of different kinds of ribbon to make Kylee bows to match all her cute clothes. I think I am getting the hang of it and they are turning out pretty cute! I am totally going to be that nerdy mom that has a different colored bow for every outfit, but I'm only going to have a little girl once, so I might as well enjoy it and live it up! I will have to post some pictures of her modeling her clothes and bows; I think she is pretty darn cute, but then again I am biased!

Gift give away
One of my friends had this on her blog and I thought it was a fun idea! I promise not to be horribly offended if no one is interested in something made by me . . . I don't blame you! I just thought it would be fun to see what happened. And if you are brave enough to comment, I promise to use all my creative juices to come up with something fun!

2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It'll be done this year
4. You will have no clue what it is going to be.
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

Here comes the sun
I am so excited to have a sunny day! I am so tired of winter and cannot wait for spring to get here. I am ready for warm weather and getting out of the house! I think Kadin is getting anxious for spring too; being cooped up in our house is driving both of us a little crazy.
Jeremy and I had a wonderful Valentine's day weekend at the beach (thank you a million times over to both sets of parents who made it possible for us to have three days of escape). We went to Lincoln City, an old Sherwood/Theurer vacation staple, but we stayed in a new house Jeremy found for us. It was gorgeous! We got to go shopping at the outlet mall (since we were given so many baby clothes, Jeremy was pretty firm on not letting me buy any more. It was so hard to reisist all the adorable baby dresses!!!), eat at our favorite restaurant Mo's, go to my favorite bookstore in the world, Roberts, and just spend time together. The house we stayed in had bikes to ride, so when the weather got nice we took a spin around the neighborhood (until my thighs started to burn and I remembered how out of shape I am). We also got to soak in the hot tub . . . mmmmmmm.
When we came back, I was ready to go back to the business of being a mommy. It's amazing how a little time away can recharge the batteries and remind me of the good things about being home with the two kids. We've had the normal ups and downs like always, but I have a little bit more "oomph" to ride the roller-coaster again.
This is the house we stayed in: "Siren by the Sea"
This bike made me feel like I should be wearing saddle shoes, it looks like something from a 50's movie. It was hilarious to ride a bike again (I couldn't remember the last time I had).
Sitting on the potty, watching a movie and eating Cheerios. Somehow we will get this figured out!
I put Kylee in the chair on top of some blankets while I went to go fix lunch for Kadin and me. When I turned around, she had put herself to sleep! Why can't that happen all the time?
She is so much more awake and alert now, it is fun to watch her watching everything around her. And I love having a little girl to dress up all frilly and pretty!
