Where did it go??

The warm weather I mean. What happened?? Oh.. right.. Utah. ha ha 

This was my mom's birthday and I loved how WARM it was (borderline hot)!!

**can I just say how CUTE this dress is?! My sister just got back from a cruise from mexico and brought this back for Ireland. 

just playing at grammys

Then the next day was warm so we stripped all the kids down to their undies and had a water balloon fight!

Ireland thought it was pretty cool

Then another day we took the kids to the park. There are 4 parks within walking distance of my house and this one we came to has water! So fun and its not deep at all so it is not scary. There are ducks playing nearby and the kids loved it!!


yes I really do play when I go to the park!

FUN RIGHT?!

THEN...... blah! It was so cold! Pedro came over to play and he had a hoodie on and Ireland had a turtle neck shirt and thick tights. BRRRR bring back the sun!!!!!

HOORAY!! I DID IT!

So I finally made a blog for all the bows I make! I have over a hundred new bows to post on it, but I haven't felt well so I only did a few for now. 

Here is the site: http://babyirelandbows.blogspot.com/ 

Thank you so much for looking! I also still have the website: click here to see it. I don't have any new bows on it. Hence the reason I made the blog to keep updated bows

I hope you like it. I will update it at least once a week with new bows! If there is anything you would like me to change or add please email me here.

Slideshow

I have SO many fun pics of Ireland and have little time to post so I made a slide show. I hope it turned out ok and isn't too slow. there really is some fun stuff if you take the time to watch it.

(sorry the flowers going across can get annoying)

***If you select view all images on the bottom right of the slideshow, you can see them faster. Or select one specific picture

BORING. RANDOM. BLAH

Wow. I am super exhausted. Growing a kid is tiring. My body is like.... Are you done?? ha ha. Nope. Still have 10 more weeks. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE being pregnant but it does have it's hard times too. So...... we're thinking I will be induced June 26th. if anything changes I will surely let you all know.

I get my next ultrasound on Thursday to make sure everything turned out ok and that baby truly is fine. I think she is fine and  is loving playing in my ribs! 

Today is my mom's birthday. Happy birthday mom!! Thanks for having us for dinner! yuuum. 

Also my family is moving to Grantsville so it will be a little longer  drive to see them each visit. :(  But they will have horses and I can not wait for Ireland to see them!!

I am crazy busy making new bows for this show I am doing in May. This is the biggest thing for me as far as my business goes and I am kinda starting to stress. I have wanted to make a blog for all my bows since it is way too hard for daniel to update bows on my site. I have made hundreds more that aren't even on there. Maybe I will get time another day :(

I don't know what else to say. I am sleepy  and busy and wished my house would clean itself. I also wish I would get some mail one day, in in that mail is a check with a note that says: here is a million dollars because you are wonderful. 

hmmmm. better go check the mail :)

have a wonderful night

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

Tuesday the 14th I officially turned 25! Hooray! I honestly was excited to turn 25. Each year I get excited to get another year older. I am having such a fun time in my life and it all seems to get better as I get older! 

My birthday actually was sort of a 3 day event! 

for monday, my brother Mike got my sister and I concert tickets! It's our favorite band ever! (ok, ok my "favorite" band is Rascal Flatts, but then these guys for sure!!) It was to Fall Out Boy. I have already been to  3 of their shows and this one was just as fun!! Thanks Kel for going and jammin with me!!!

Then on my actual birthday, it was pretty mellow and ended with my girlies taking me to a movie. During the day Daniel's parents came down to sing to me and my mom also came over and got us a pizza. It really was a fun day! I got some fun stuff and daniel cleaned and took care of Ireland. I felt like a princess.

Today (wed.) Daniel took me to the temple for more of my "birthday date"  and I LOVED going. What a wonderful way to end it all.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT....... I have zero pictures! :(  My camera was in my car from the concert, and no one took any of me the whole day. sad, I know!

thanks to all my family and friends who made it so special for me and took the time to let me know I was thought of. :)

HAPPY EASTER!

What a wonderful Holiday! I just LOVE Easter and the reason we celebrate it. it's not about the gifts and the easter bunny (as fun as all that stuff is) so I won't list fun things we got. So I will just say how fun it was and good it was to see all our family! We TRIED to explain to Ireland what Easter was TRULY about. But we kinda struggled to explain to an 18 month old about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But we did our best...... and got some puzzled looks. She did enjoy finding eggs though lol! 

here are a few pics of our Easter weekend. 

We had a small party at our ward and here is Ireland getting to make a crown and book mark.

She had a fun trail of eggs from her bedroom to the living room where her gifts were.

this is just her after her bath. I had to show her curls. I am quite in love with them, and will surely be traumatized if she loses them!

Here is the beautiful girl on Easter morning!

Don't mind the light on my face :)  

Family shot before church

How gorgeous is this girl?!?
anyway, hope you all had as good a easter as we did!! have a wonderful day!

what the....

EWWW. 

ok, my husband is officially gross. He went to make a frozen pizza the other day. The yummy little ones that are good enough you DON'T need to add anything to them. Know those?? Well... daniel grabs a "triple cheese" one (which is gross in itself) and decides to shred more cheese on it!!! Like a MOUNTAIN of cheese. Is it just me? Isn't that horrible??  I'm like "nice lunch babe. heart attack wrapped in a stroke, served with a side of cardiac arrest."  ha ha. maybe its because when I am NOT pregnant a bite of REGULAR cheese pizza would send my stomach in spasms and I would be sick for 2 days. PLUS ireland is allergic to milk so all that seems horrible anyway. 

ok ok, yes I REALLY did  have to take a picture of it. BLAH!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DANIEL!

Yesterday monday (the 6th) My wonderful husband turned 25. HOORAY! It was a good day and it was pretty relaxing. 

We invited Daniel's parents down for cake and ice cream. 
(yes I know I could have gotten ready for the day :))

How hot is this man right here??

Our birthday plans are all for this weekend to celebrate both of our birthdays so yesterday was more chill. We had a good dinner and watched madagascar 2. Daniel and Ireland had to dance at every song! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN!! We love you and are so glad you are a part of this family! 

----------------------------------------------------

ok. so this morning I was picking up the house. But I noticed Ireland is gone. Where is that little GIRL?? There are 7 doors down our hall that we have to keep shut. Well hers is one of those and we don't HAVE to keep hers shut. If the hall is open the only door allowed open is her room so she won't get into trouble! I knew for a fact I kept the bathroom shut. She wasn't in her room, but All the doors were shut. Smart me left one door open and she went in, shut it and was here:
What a little MONKEY!!!

I tried to ask what she was doing. wouldn't answer me. I said HELLO! IRELAND!

she FINALLY  turns around and goes HELLLLLLO!  ha ha ha. her face is like what mom?!
I LOVE MY FAMILY!!

tummy time!

here is my gi-normous belly :)  just kidding but its getting big huh? I am 27 weeks. I have no idea when I start my 3rd trimester. I googled it and the responses I got were: 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30 weeks. all of those supposedly start your 7th month. what the heck?! It's because everyone counts it different. *frustrated sigh*  Does anyone REALLY know?  I see the doc on monday. Maybe he will know, lol. Anyway, things are going so so depending on the day. I am finally getting back to normal as far as my breathing goes, and I think my sinus infection is gone. yay

That's all for now :)

HOORAY!!!

So.... Miss ireland is 18 months old today. That in itself is exciting. BUT we are so very proud of her! She is learning to use the potty. We bought her a little one that just goes on the regular toilet and was just going to get her used to it and have her try. (I know quite a few people whose kids were potty trained or close at or around 18 and 19 months so I KNOW it is possible) 

anyway, We started today, and she totally peed in the potty!! YAY!!  

now I know she may not completely get it right now, but she did do it, she saw it made mommy and daddy proud and she catches on to things quick. We will not force her and she actually likes to sit up there so this might be a great thing. (It doesn't hurt that I helped potty train 6-9 kids a day at a daycare for almost 2 years) 

ANYWAY... that's all I was just excited and had to share!!

There is not even a title good enough to describe this yucky day. :(

Have you ever just had "one of those days" where you really want it to be good. But thing after thing happens and you're so frustrated with everything?

yeah, that's how I feel today. But thank goodness for two girls who tried their best to make me happy today. Two of my sisters. I love sisters. They are possibly the best thing ever. I am talking about my sister Mekell and sister-in-law Chelsea.  

I had plans with Chelsea today and stuff happened that normally would have made todays girls day not happen and I cried a lot and Chelsea took me to lunch and we got to laugh and talk and vent and just be girls and enjoy time out. I needed that!!

then  later I text my sister and told her today wasn't so good and asked her to please give me a reason to smile. She text me a nice list of why I should be happy. And the best part of the text: she said I look great today. lol she hasn't even seen me today. oh, that girl keeps me sane I swear. 

Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of family and friends who I love and make me happy, but those 2 helped me survive today. And its only 4pm. so there is still hope for an ok day??

I decided to make a list of why I should be happy:

*I am alive. That's good right?

*The snow stopped. (for now)

* I am an awesome mom. I mean I let my kid eat every single piece of food covered in ketchup since that is the only way to get her to eat anymore. And I got her hooked on her binky when she had stopped showing interest in it when she was 3 months old. but it keeps her from screaming in the car or store. And somedays she stays in jammies til 3 pm, and sometimes if she doesn't have time for a bath, I just slather in yummy baby lotion so she smells clean LOL

*I am almost in my 3rd trimester, which means my nesting instinct should kick in which means I MAY one day have a clean house.

* and the last reason I should be happy is my birthday is coming up and everyone loves birthdays right?
