Snow Days

We were so lucky to make it to the Sierras this past weekend for what was probably the last big winter storm for our mountains.  We spent all Sunday tubing..

The kids loved that.

Our cabin that we stayed at.

The night we arrived....hardly any snow.

The following day.... 12 inches of snow

The kids also had all day snow baording lessons.  They did great.

Crafts and Such

Here are some of those craft projects  I wrote about .  ( sorry, I didn't get a good pic of the first one)

My "home" project.  Love it, Emma helped me with this one.

My favorite Christmas burlap wreath turned valentines wreath.

The heart in home!

My felt valentines wreath for outside.

As you can see, the valentines decor has arrived at my house.  Yes, I realize it's January, but we have no snow, no winter weather, in fact we are in the 70s.  So, welcome Valentines day!

A new year

Welcome 2012.  Now that our schedules are back on schedule, I feel a bit of normalcy and a lot of excitement for 2012.  We (the family and I ) have big plans for this year.  Brandon is going back to school for a second masters and I am also returning to school to get a nursing degree.  I am so excited.  It will be a slow process since Brandon and I still have the kids needs as our number one priority.  This means that I will study and take classes only when they are in school or Brandon can be home with them (which is hard to juggle between him working and going to school at night).  We have decided together that these goals are important to us, and I am sure we will see them through!
The kids are also picking back up swimming twice a week and Emma will continue ballet.  Elias continues to go to pre- kindergarten three days a week and enjoys a library class and speech every week.  The new year brings fresh ideas and new beginning to our family.   Emma and I have been crafting away together and can't wait to continue more crafts each month.  Elias and Brandon continue to "practice" baseball in the back yard weekly to master Elias' skills.  He loves his dad so much and watching them throwing the ball to each other is priceless. 
I look forward to an excited and busy 2012!!!  Bring it on!!!

My Christmas Wreath

Had to blog that I made this adorable wreath.  It sells online for around 65 dollars.  I made it for less than 10..
