5 Months!!

So I can't believe it, my baby is 5 months old already! Boy have these months just flown. I have been traveling all over which has helped the time past quickly thank goodness. So our little girl has found her feet, she loves them! She has also realized that she can put them in her mouth which is kind of comical to watch. :) She puts EVERYTHING in her mouth now! She has also found that she can roll over from her belly to her back and from her back to her belly... she just hasn't put them together one right after another. lol

Adelyn has also started to laugh not all the time or anything, but she does and it is the most precious sound EVER!!! I love when she laughs, most times it's when pretend to bite her thighs or belly she giggles. :) She thinks that she is such a big girl, she wants to stand up all the time in fact if I lay her down she'll throw the pout out, and I'll stand her up and she stops just like you flipped a switch! She talks way more now, and will turn to you if you say her name.

Casey is doing well, we are both so ready for this deployment to be over with. I was going to meet him in Washington when he came back because he had to take a class but they have moved the class to Mississippi so I can't meet him so we will have to be apart for a little while longer. We are hoping that he will be able to attend Boise state in the spring and we hope to be moving over that way. We are excited to spend Adelyn's first holidays together as a little family. We will be going to my parents for Thanksgiving and going to San Antonio for Christmas to meet up with Casey's family. It will be nice to have a travel buddy again so Casey can help me with Addi. :) Hope you all are doing well! Love to all!

4 months

So Adelyn is 4 months old, she got her second round of shots today. She was not happy with momma. She weighs 13lbs 15oz which is in the 50th percentile, and she is in the 70th percentile for height. She can now have cereal, some baby food and they told me to give her half pear juice and half water (which she likes) We don't have another appt til she is 6 months old. She is such a joy to be with everyday, she laughs and smiles at me all the time. She can hold her head up when I put her in the bumbo, and she can hold my fingers and sit up. She likes to stand up on my lap and just move around. She still only rolls from her stomach to her back when she wants to not everytime. We just got back from a short trip to Utah and in less than two weeks we are going to Colorado and then driving with my sister in-law Coree to Kansas to see my in-laws. It should be a fun trip!

Adelyn 3 months

So our little Miss Adelyn is 3 months old, she still doesn't do a whole lot. She can smile which just melts my heart, and she kind of laughs but not really. She will coo at you and just sit and talk. She has rolled from her belly to her back a few times but when I try to get her to show daddy she just sits there and screams. She is not into showing off her little talents. But we did get pictures taken, and she did so fabulous a lady in my ward took them and did a fabulous job, her site is staciepictureit.blogspot.com check her out she is great and affordable. Here are the pictures of Adelyn at 3 month old....

And I bought her a little Owl, Casey and I love owls and so we have been getting Adelyn and owl thing here and there, so here is the one that I bought today.

:) I love it ;)

Easter Sunday

We had a good Easter this year, since it was Adelyn's first Easter and she is only 3 months old she wasn't into it, but I still got her a basket. I didn't find the perfect basket that I wanted for her but I found one that was cute for right now, and it was only $2.oo so I didn't mind. I put two books in, a my little pony, and a stuffed duck in it. Casey bought her, her Easter dress while he was here on leave and it looked so cute on her! I just love her in Blue.

Casey is doing well he was transfered, he says his job is more exciting, but that is about all he can tell me. There is internet there which we didn't think we were going to have so that is a blessing. I don't get to talk to him as much as I did before but any talking with him is an added bonus.

I officially have quit my job, so now I just work from home doing my sewing business which has actually been doing okay. I love being able to stay at home with Adelyn! It is a blessing that I get to stay with her and not have to take her to daycare. I have also started couponing, it has been a great new thing, I always love getting good deals, and this is totally up my ally. I am actually going to a couponing class here in a week or so. This was my first week couponing, and I think I did pretty well. My total was 297.65 and I paid 65.32 I will be trying to do this every Monday and try to stock pile so that we have food storage. :)

I got - 4 big dawn dish soaps

8 little dawn dish soaps

1 soda

1 bag of dental floss/toothpicks

1 can of shaving gel

2 things of eye drops

13 mens body washes

3 mens razors (non disposable)

3 bags of tostitos chips

2 rolls of paper towels

1 box of tampons

15 cans of tuna fish

7 mens deodorants

8 bags of salad

4 things of wipes

13 rolls of tape

2 containers of strawberries

Like I said I think I did pretty good we will see next week if I do any better. :) Hope all is well with everyone

Business Magnets

This is one of the new magnets that I made for my business and I LOVE IT!!!! I love owls. :)

Mommy Syndrome......

I have had mommy syndrome lately, I have been meaning to update my blog, and I just haven't done it. I have played with Adelyn, sewn, slept, and done other things on the computer but I haven't updated the blog, I don't think anyone reads this besides my husband and my mom anyway and they already usually know about the stuff I put on here. So let me try and recap what has happened in the past few months. 


So when I last wrote, I was starting my own business, that is going well I went to California for 23 days to visit my friend Bonnie and her mom Liz. While I was there, Liz and Bonnie helped watch Adelyn while I sewed. I made 11 car seat covers, 9 rag quilts and 5 flowers, and even designed a new burp rag to sell. I have sold a few car seat covers, and I am thrilled that this has let me stay at home with my little girl. I am trying to get a stock pile of everything that I make so I can hopefully put it in some craft shows here coming up in November and December. 

These are my new burp rag design I love these colors!

Casey is doing well, he is getting transfered this week to a different location and it looks like this location won't have internet so we won't be able to talk or skype with each other online I guess until he gets transfered again or until he comes back to the states. He has been extended so that he can take a class so that he can get promoted when he gets back, which means that he will have to stay at Fort Lewis (Washington) to take this class. My cousin Holly and her husband David live 2 hours away from Fort Lewis and have been kind enough to let Adelyn and I stay at their house while Casey is at Fort Lewis, this way on weekends we can go pick him up, and spend the weekends together. I can't wait to see my husband, I miss him so much, and Adelyn is changing so much it makes me sad to think that he is missing all of this. I am going to Visit Casey's family for 10 days in June, it should be a fun trip like I said above Adelyn and I went to California, and Adelyn flew very well, so I hope she will fly well again in June.


Adelyn is growing so much while we were in California she out grew her newborn clothes and now wears size                     
one diapers. She is getting more of a personality, she smiles now when you smile at her she has laughed a couple of times, has rolled from her stomach to her back a couple of times and she is getting to be a little chunky. She has a Dr. appt on Tues and she got her shots, and she now weighs 11.5 lbs. She is doing good growth wise she is hitting all of her mile stones. She had the cutest dress for easter, Casey bought it for her when he was home for leave, I love it! She talked to her Daddy on skype the other day he was talking to her and she was cooing back at him it was so super cute!

Adelyn and I for Easter

I have just been sewing, and I had to get some crowns on my two front teeth I did that today, and my teeth hurt so bad and it made me have a headache. I have temporary ones right now, they have to send the cast off for the real premanant ones, and I will get those put on in three weeks. I also am having some problems with my left knee ( the one i didn't have surgery on) I am going to see the Dr. on Thurs. so we will see how that goes. After about 2 1/2 months I have finally gotten back in to my pre pregnancy pants which is fabulous, but I still have a bunch to go, I would like to lose another 40 lbs or so before Casey gets home. Other than that I can't think of anything else that is going on. Hope all is well with everyones families!

With the faith of my husband...

So with the help and love of my husband I am going to sell my crafts. Okay let me explain a little, I have been selling my burp rags at a local shop for a little while, but now I am going to get a business license, and sell my burp rags, rag quilts, appliquéd quilts, flowers, and crocheted purses. There is a big craft show in Boise that I am hoping to get a spot at, it is a show that lots of people want to be in so there may not be a space but I emailed the guy today and hopefully I will hear back from him soon. There are also some smaller shows I think i am going to try and go to those also. My husband is the main reason why I am doing this, I mean I love to sew and I like making projects, but I am not sure people will want to really buy them I have had some friends buy stuff from me but we will see if other people like my creations also. I will be buying business cards and stuff, it is scary cause I don't know how well I will be received but I am excited too. I am going to post some pictures of some of my crafts that I will be selling these are two of my rag quilts the first is one I made for Adelyn the other is one I made to sell.
