May 2011 Already?!?
Life is crazy busy! I know I say that a lot & sometimes it seems over dramatic (I know where my daughter gets it), but it is true. With two kids who play sports, act, take classes, and play instruments it's no wonder time is flying by so quickly!
Because we are so busy, some things just need to be put on the back burner, and for me blogging was one of those things that needed to wait until I found some extra time. I still don't have much extra time but a very important person mentioned that he hasn't seen any new blog posts in a while. So, I will be making more of an effort to share our crazy, busy life with you!
Here are just a few pictures from the past week:
It has been an exhausting couple of months & the kiddos & I just needed to run away for a few days so we took off to the beach with my parents. We had two extra days off school so we took off Wednesday afternoon (thanks goodness Bubba's finger was not broken & we didn't have to find the Urgent Care in Seaside;)It was a great little trip and we all had a blast shopping @ second hand stores, eating doughnuts, visiting the new stores in town, exploring, sleeping in & just enjoying each other's company! Thanks Mom & Dad, that was just what we needed!
After the kiddos & I got back from a few days at the beach with my parents our dryer stopped drying. With all the dirty beach clothes, the timing of this event was horrible! For two days we had wet clothes hanging all over the house. Luckily I married "Mr. All Around Fix It Guy" and he found the parts needed to get heat to my dryer again! Thanks G, you rock!
Three days a week (at least) you can find me either driving to Lacrosse practice or standing in the rain watching a Lacrosse game. Yes, it's Bubba's third year playing & he simply loves it. This year G is assistant coaching which is good because I don't have to stick around for the practices, I just have to make sure he gets there with ALL his gear!
My two favorite munchkins at the Portland Winterhawks game last Saturday. It was game 5 in the playoffs & we won! I really don't like watching hokey on TV but in person, the games are so much fun! Not to mention it's one activity the four of us all enjoy (and you know how hard it is to find things the whole family enjoys)!
This past week I have found some great photo actions & I will be talking about those more soon. Working hard to make sure I use my camera and capture my kiddos while they are still young!
Enjoy!

Catch Up On April Pictures
This is going to be a long post, sorry. We have been busy & on top of that G has been sick which throws us into crazy mode. He is starting to feel better, I think but last night neither of us slept very well. He took Nyquil which knocks me out but apparently keeps him up. So he tossed & turned which kept me up as well (weird cuz I usually sleep through everything). Anyway, it's Monday & I think we are back to our normal routine, which is great for me!
April 1, 2010
Spencer having a ball figuring out he can make an Easter egg spin on the table. It's so funny how the simple things can make him smile & keep him busy for hours!
April 2, 2010
Some of you already know he has been bandanna boy lately (wanting to be like Apalo Ohno) but this is a bit much!
April 3, 2010
We spent the weekend at the beach & because of that, I didn't decorate much at home. But I did finish this adorable egg garland to hang up at the beach house to sort of festive up the place.
April 4, 2010
Lexi up a tree at the beach house. The kiddos are both very into climbing trees. This is a favorite to climb & luckily we had a break in the weather so they could be outside while I cleaned the cabin.
April 5, 2010
One of my many visitors to the backyard. Ok so maybe I kinda like Spring!
April 6, 2010
My Easter tulips with the overflowing gutter in the background. This is the part of Spring that I don't like so much. We have had so much rain lately it's not even funny. I am very ready for Summer weather to make its appearance.
April 7, 2010
Have you noticed that I am addicted to cute little banners? I think they brighten up the darkest Oregon Spring days. I make this one for my craft room.
April 8, 2010
You probably already saw the post about Spencer's first Lacrosse game. Yep, they won 9-6 and Spencer scored two goals & has a new nickname: Ninja! He was awesome!
April 9, 2010
The robins have been visiting the backyard. G thinks I'm crazy because I go outside & talk to them. I guess it works because they come back every year to visit!
April 10, 2010
Yep, it's another banner in my house. This one is made out of flowers I created out of fabric. Very cute, I think.
April 11, 2010
When the weather gets nicer I like to wear fun stuff in my hair (or maybe I'm trying to distract from the fact that I'm in need of a haircut). So I have been busy as a bee making fun things for my hair, aren't they cute? I'm sad that Lexi is getting bigger & isn't willing to add these cute things to her outfits anymore. Oh well, I still wear them. I have been looking for plain little tanktops to add some fun flowers to for this Summer. I have seen shirts with cute flowers on them in stores & man they are spendy. So of course I thought, "I can do that!" I'll show some pictures when I find some tanks to embellish. Have a great week. I'm off to do the normal Monday stuff (laundry).

1st Clackamas Lacrosse Game
It was a cold (ok freezing) evening but Spencer's Clackamas Boys came out with a win last night against Hood River 9-6! And Spencer was one tough cookie. He might be the smallest on the field but he showed no sign of hesitation going for the ball & finished the game scoring two points! One of his teammates nicknamed him Ninja & he was all smiles! What a great way to begin the season! Now bring on the warmer weather & maybe Lexi will come out of the truck & watch the next one.
My little #13.

Since I started running this is my drink of choice. Not necessarily this flavor, but G2. I keep it in the garage, not the fridge because I don't like to drink things that are very cold after I run.
February 17, 2010
This is G's favorite licorice ever! We found it at the beach one weekend & he ate an entire container in 24 hours. This package was in his Valentine's Day gift. He got it on Sunday & by this morning it was all gone!
February 18, 2010
I bought myself tulips this week & they are so pretty on my table by the window surrounded by all the Valentine's Day colors! That's enough to make me smile:)
February 19, 2010
Spencer wants to be the next Apollo Ohno. He's seriously looking for a short track speed skating team to join as we speak. Until he finds one he is going to have to settle for practicing with his carpet sliders & baseball helmet worn backwards.
February 20, 2010 (happy birthday mom)!
LAST BASKETBALL GAME!!! Oh it was a trying season but we all survived & Spencer is even talking about playing again next year (guess it wasn't such a bad season)!

I Love Spencer
Yep, you knew I would have a page about Spencer next didn't you? This little guys makes my heart so happy some days it feels like it might burst!

Spencer is a smart kid but when he hurries though spelling tests he tends to make mistakes. So this week I told him if he got 10 out of 10 on his spelling test I would take him to $1 ice cream at Mocha Express. Well he got 10 out of 10 +1 & I talked him into buying ice cream at Safeway. That way he can have some for the next few days, instead of just once! See, he is smart!

Putnam Youth Basketball had scrimmages at the Rose Garden today & boy was that sweet! Spencer got to play on the court where the Portland Trailblazers play! It was so exciting for him.

Spencer got this Eeyore when he was born & he has been so many places since. Eeyore & Spencer are truly best friends & he is showing his wear.
January 21, 2010
Lexi came home from school feeling not so hot! She's on the mend now but I think the stress of school really gets to her!
January 22, 2010
Here's a peak of the super cute (and super cheap) Valentine's Day gifts I found the other day. Now I just need to sew up some cute little gift bags & I am ready!
January 23, 2010
Spencer had another basketball game today & he scored another basket! Keep it up kiddo, I'm proud of you!
January 24, 2010
I got Joe to go grocery shopping with me today (not sure how, but I did)! We walked in the door and the first thing he saw was the tulips. "You need tulips! What color do you want?" Before I could say which ones I liked, he reached across and grabbed the pink ones! "You like these best, I know!" And he does know. Those were the ones I was going for!

More Fun Pictures
January 18, 2010
I spent some time today finishing a Valentine's Day blanket for us to use. I made the top last year then ran out of time & it sat unfinished in my craft room. So, I got some nice snugly fleece & got it done. Looks great & it's going to be used a ton!
January 19, 2010
Yes, this is Spencer making his own lunch & yes there is a reason why! Friday I took him to school & he told me he forgot his lunch. Being the good Mom I am, I ran home & searched the house for his lunch box. It was no where to be found. So I made another one so my little boy wouldn't starve. Brought the newly made lunch to school & he laughed & told me he was joking, he had his lunch all along. So, Spencer is making his own lunch all this week! Hopefully his lesson has been learned: Don't mess with Mom in the morning!

Just a quick picture of my boy & one of his many silly looks!
January 13, 2010
OK, really? How can I be creative in this mess? I've been working on cleaning out my craft room. It's slow & stressful. I just wonder how one girl can have over 20 projects left unfinished?
January 14, 2010
While working in my craft room today I decided to put up the metal board I got at IKEA about 6 months ago. I also played around with the vinyl sheets I got for my Cricut a few weeks ago. Turned out pretty cute but now you know why it is taking me so long to clean out my craft room! I get side tracked so easily!
January 15, 2010
Spencer? Are you in there? I guess I should get use to this! He loves his IPod!
January 16, 2010
Today Spencer & G drove up to Tacoma to see Monster Trucks. They had a blast and took a TON of pictures with my new camera. 416 pictures to be exact, but not a single one of Spencer! 416 pictures of trucks 0 pictures of Spencer:(
January 17, 2010
OK so I posted more than one picture today but I just had to show you both. I made these totally adorable pillowcases for the kids for Valentine's Day. Once I figured the pattern out they were a piece of cake! Figuring the pattern out took FOREVER!! Oh well, they turned out very cute & the kids love them (except Lexi wanted more of the black fabric & Spencer wanted less of the pink fabric)!

Spencer's basketball game. This shot was taken as he was watching to see if his shot made it in the basket & yes it did! He made his first basket in a game today!

Lexi spent the night with her friend at a church group retreat & didn't get much sleep I guess!

Homework, homework, homework! That's the life of an 8th grader!

A Super Busy End of the Year!
Wow, time has just flown by & I don't know how! It seems like just yesterday when I was making sure I had spent about the same on each kid for Christmas gifts! And to be honest, they really wouldn't have know anyway they were so exited! You would think the excitement of Christmas morning would decrease as they got older... Heck no! And I still get totally excited right with them!
Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks to share with you! Hope you enjoy!
