Pinterest recreation!!

Recently I joined pinterest and love all the awesome ideas, crafts, and other things they have on there. I found the poms on there that alot of people are hanging above babies crib and loved the idea! As I was looking at others on there I ran across some Rosetta kissing balls and fell in love with them! I read the tutorial last night on theidearoom.blogspot.com and found out that you use crepe paper to do them. I had some left over from Kyler's birthday last year and some Styrofoam balls and decided to try and make one today. It took alot of time...around six hours!! I'm happy with how it turned out though:) I plan on making two more in pink and grey...just waiting on getting the crepe paper. If the baby is a girl they will go above the crib, if not they will go in our room. I already feel like I'm in nesting mode!! That part of the room will probably be done soon after we find out what the baby is for sure and if it is a girl it will be done really fast lol. I've been working on projects I've been saying are for our room hinting at getting new bedding but if its a girl it'll all go towards decorations for her. Its been hard to not think its a girl with JJ already calling it the girl name we have picked out every time the baby is brought up. If its a boy I'll be just as happy though, I think it would be fun for Kyler to have a baby brother, but he does get along with girls so I hope either way he'll be happy. Anyways I'm rambling, back to the Rosetta balls. If you want to see how these are made the link is... http://www.theidearoom.net/2012/01/video-tutorialtissue-paper-rosettes.html
These are pictures of the one I made, the pictures aren't the greatest since my camera was about to die. But you get an idea of how it looks.

Toy Room

So as I have mentioned a number of times Kyler has TOO MANY toys!! I keep wanting to get rid of some but he plays with them all~ which surprises me but he does. And I figure the next one might like them too. So since his toys were taking up almost half of our living room we decided we needed to do something about it. Tonight we decided to clean out the closet underneath our stairs and put it in a closet we have in the kitchen. I can't believe with some organizational packing we actually got everything in the smaller closet. He still doesn't have alot of room to play in there because of having two huge bins of toys plus his bigger ones but he LOVES it!! We didn't fit his Truck in there put it fits in the corner between the couches really well. Its so nice being able to have my living room mostly toy free. We should have done this a long time ago!! Our next project is organizing his room and closet so we can fit another crib and dresser in it. Shouldn't be to hard since its a big room. Which should answers a question we've been getting alot which is "Are you moving?" Right now, No. I don't have the energy to go through a move right now, it was all I could do to move the few boxes I did today let alone packing more. So for now we are staying put. We'll most likely move after the baby is born and I've had a little time to recover. Anyways here are some pictures of our little monster tonight!

Update on my Sweet Little Guy

I just realized I haven't had a Kyler update in a while, and want to share somethings so I don't forget them. I've been horrible about taking pictures since Christmas so I don't have any new ones of him. He is 21 months now and I can't believe he'll be 2 in just a few short months!
Anyways he is into throwing! Everything and anything he can he will throw. Thankfully he has quite a few balls so he will mostly throw them and he is sure getting quite a little arm on him.
He is in love with football, we can thank his uncles and grandpa's and dad for that! He will just sit and watch the games with them. He will clap when the crowd starts to and he has learned the touchdown sign.
He has also learned how to tickle, well what he thinks is tickling. He loves to do it to J.J., and make him laugh.
He catches on to everything lately! I have an electric razor I used one day to shave my legs because I forgot to in the shower well he saw me do it and now when we are in the bathroom he will go over and grab it and start trying to shave his legs! After Christmas we found a little massager in the walmart clearance that I bought and boy do I love it, Kyler does too! He will grab it and turn it on and put it on his belly to tickle him and just laugh, it so funny!
The potty-training kinda took a halt during the holidays, so we are trying to get back to him being comfortable sitting on the potty and going. He loves sitting on the potty with a diaper on, but not so much when his diaper is off. Hopefully he'll get over that soon and we can get better with it. It would be really nice to not have 2 kids in diapers lol.
He is quite the little helper too, he loves throwing things away. While we are cleaning he'll grab either his broom or vacuum and help us clean up. He will pick up his toys if we are at other peoples houses just not ours when we start to put things away he will get them right back out.
He still would rather play than watch TV, but does have a few shows that he likes. His favorite is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, he loves Mickey Mouse! He will also watch Sesame Street, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, and Dora.
He doesn't really have a favorite food nor one that he doesn't like. He eats everything and anything all day long!! I don't know how he isn't chunkier than he is.
He loves all his toys and is getting into puzzles and building things.
He is in a 3t but we will see for how long! He is still growing so fast.
He knows where the baby is and will come and rub my belly when we ask him where the baby is. He will "rock the baby" with his arms too.
He still isn't say very many words, so we will most likely be taking him to a therapist after his next check-up. His jabber is so funny to listen to though, especially when he is cussing something.
Well I think that is all for now.

Belly Picture

Here's the first belly picture! About 12.5 weeks along. This is poor quality because its off my cell, our laptop charger broke so I can't get pictures from my camera up. Anyways so far things are the same, morning sickness sucks!! Lol. We did find out yesterday that J.J's sister Debbie is having another little girl #2! We are way excited for them. Makes me way anxious to find out what we're having, but I'll be patient:) well that's all for now.

Such a lucky girl!

I sure have been blessed with an amazing hubby and little boy. As I mentioned before this pregnancy has kicked my butt! I've had nausa since I was four weeks along and I can believe how exhausted I've been. Thankfully my husband had been very understanding about it and has sure helped out alot. He will clean up the house and do the dishes while I take a nap. He is just awesome:) He even made me brownies one day lol. I sure love him!! Kyler has been such a sweetheart too. There have been a few times where I've had to run to the bathroom to up-chuck and forgot to shut the door behind me, soon there after he would be right behind me patting my back and giving me a hug. He's just so cute!! There has also been times where I've fallen asleep while he's playing and he'll come over and rub my face, like I do his, to wake me up. I sure do love him!! He for the most part has been so good and will just play all day except when he's eating. He is a good little cleaner too, and will pick up his toys and put them away and is always throwing things away for us. He is becoming such a little boy! I'm very excited to have another little one in our home. And to watch them grow like we've seen Kyler. Its been kinda hard to like being pregnant this time but when I think of the joy that comes from having them here and healthy its all so worth it! July honestly can't get here fast enough. Well I'm rambling so I'll stop!

Our New Little Babe

Today I had my first doctors appointment for this pregnancy. I'm going to a new doctor in Logan, the experience was different but I liked the doctor and it'll be nice to not have to drive to ogden. I won't get as many ultrasounds which I'm alittle sad over but oh well. We got our first ultrasound today and everything looks good! Baby was moving alot and had a strong heartbeat of 176 bpm. The due date is July 23rd but he'll most likely take me on the 17th! I'm 11 weeks today:) and very anxious to be in the second trimester...the morning sickness and exhaustion has not been kind this time around!! So far everyone and all the old wives tells are pointing and thinking its a girl...I'm still sceptical though lol. Here are the ultrasound pictures from today!
