Today is going to be SUPER!

Can I tell you how much stress I had this week?! Boy, was I busy. I was in charge of our ward's super activity this last Saturday. I had the girls choose between 2 different crafts. The first one was making a little Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus wood, string art craft.
 

The other craft was a paper dahlia

 

They also could make chocolate dipped pretzels! It was a great time on Saturday chatting and hanging out with all the girls, but getting it all set up was the most difficult part. I couldn't sleep most of the week thinking about all of the things I needed to get and get done. I had to chop all the wood and that took some time. I also had to cut out all the stencils or vinyl for the girls a well. 
I do have to say though, I thoroughly enjoyed crafting with everyone!! It really made me want to start up my little workshops once a month to get a group together to build crafts! 

I get so excited during this time of the year. Family, food, and crafting! I absolutely love the spirit of how everyone is and how kind and giving people are. I get super excited to build thing and spend lots of time creating gifts for others. Now, don't get me wrong. I definitely have my not so good days, but I always try to find the best out of the day. 

Mikal took me on a mini date. Which means, walking the dog and stopping by the Cocoa Bean to get a drink. If I could go get a drink anywhere, that is the PLACE. It is super! 😀 I have to take any chance I can get to go on a date with him since Mikal is usually super busy with hunting season.

Month 7- Harvest time

Image
Dean started off the month of October sleeping a lot better than the month of September. Instead of 2-3 hour stretches, we got 4-5! He has now started acknowledging his name when you say it.  Mikal bought Dean a cute little red ball cap. It is so cute on him! I also got to put him in his little hunting outfits. I love me some red buffalo plaid!     We met my cousin Carmen and her family at the Middleton Fall Festival. It was fun to take Wesley and enjoy so time outside of the house! Dean played in the corn pit and had a blast feeling the corn and picking it up- we also went again later in the month with Joseph, Melissa, Oliver & Jane. I spent lots of time making/picking grapes to juice. Dean was very impatient at times and other times very patient with me! Dean went on a couple tractor rides in the sprayer with Dad. He loved it so much it put him to sleep. Mikal also went fishing a bunch and hunting as well. He ended up shooting a small buck. Dean is starting to...

Birth of Baby Dean

Image
March 24th - Sunday night at 8 pm we headed into Madison Memorial Hospital to start the induction. I was still only dilated a fingertip. They put a small cervidil in me to soften my cervix. It was not comfortable and I was given half an ambien to help with the pain and sleep, but I was not able to sleep at all that night. I tossed and turned all night long and had to get up and go to the bathroom every hour. March 25th- Around 6 am, Monday March 25th, they got me a piece of toast and that was all I could eat until after the baby was born. They took out the cervidil and started me on Pitocin and broke my water. I was exhausted. I was still in pain, but not as bad after getting that cervidil out. Around 10:00 am, they came in a checked me and I was dilated 1 cm. They told me that he probably would not be born until Tuesday, March 26th. My heart dropped. I did not want to wait that long to have this little boy. They asked me if I wanted the epidural and I said not yet. I took the p...

Thankful--Grateful--Blessed🍗

Image
This past couple weeks have been some crazy ones to take in. I have been working on tons of projects in the garage and building a lot for others. Here are a couple of my latest: Thanksgiving week was just around the corner, as was my birthday. On Tuesday we went out to eat at Red Robin so I could get my free burger like I get every year. That is all we did. Nothing special. I did get a phone call from my sister Kira calling to keep little Everett who is 5 months in our prayers. He was have some unusual bruising on his left eye. They had gone to a specialist and was told if it got worse to head to the hospital.  On Thanksgiving day, we went out to Mikal's parents house and had a big dinner. I brought some little penguins because I really like to have one of my little traditions brought to the table.  The day after Thanksgiving, we went out with the Terry family and Josh and Hailey's family as well to get a Christmas tree. We drove up Kelly Canyon a...
