Holy Moly Its Christmas Time Again!!

We went to the mall so Jude could ride the carousel and got a bonus picture with Santa too! Except Bella is half asleep and Jude has wild man hair. And neither are dressed for the occasion! Oh well they weren't crying!! We really didn't think Jude would sit on Santa's lap since last year he was terrified of him but I think he has finally made the correlation of Santa to Presents! Yay! Next year we will be more prepared!

Jewelry Examples

Here are some of my finished & unfinished pieces. They are all made out of Fine Silver. Some are missing jump rings/ear wires and I have not set the stone in the flower pendant yet. Most still need polishing.

Been a while...It is now late fall, we have gone Camping, Blueberry picking, Apple picking and have painted our pumpkins. Halloween is coming up this weekend & I am on a mad dash to finish Bella's wings and somehow turn Jude into a Turtle. Pics to come if I ever finish :O

Oh and I have started back up at school, it's nice to have a balance of home & work. Bella turned one and is taking many steps on her own and working on words and of course causing mischief:)

Father's Day & First Day of Summer

Father's day was a breakfast debacle but ended well:) We finally tossed the idea of homemade and went for a full family walk (dogs included) down to the cafe around the corner and had breakfast sandwiches outside on their patio.

Jude & I had a fun & busy day together when Bella went to daycare. We started off at the playground and the sandbox:) Pretty sure most of it came home with us! We scored an awesome toy microwave at Lots for Tots and then had lunch with Daddy:) Great day overall!!

Then I had some mommy daughter time with Bella while Jude spent the night at Meme & Papa's and Eric was away on business. She is just so happy with herself when she pulls up to standing! So cute!

So I started this blog forever ago when we found out we were pregnant with Jude in Sept 2007. Wellllll....Jude is now 2 and we have Bella Boo who was born Sept 2009. So in all my spare time I did not get to our family blog. But here I am and I am going to attempt to post at least once a week.

I took this year off from teaching to stay home with my 2 babies and it has been great but time is flying, I go back in less than 3 months!! I have a ton of photos and am going to attempt to load them:) Bear with me :)

Jude is running around like the energetic toddler he is:) and Bella is army crawling after him. She is quite fast and Jude is loving it. They both talk up a storm:) Can't wait until Bella's beautiful coos become more understandable and her & Jude can be in cahoots together:)
