I have been very busy lately. Colby has had the car almost all week for the last few weeks so I have been keeping busy making some crafts. Here are a few photos.

We had Elijah's Birthday Party today and it turned out Great! We had lots of friends that came and the weather was good just long enough that we could eat and have cake and Ice Cream followed by gifts. We are so thankful for everyone that came to Elijah's Birthday. It was so fun to have a big get together. When we were singing Happy Birthday it really hit me that my little guy is 1!

Well today is Elijah's 1st Birthday! I can't even believe how fast time has gone. It kinda makes me sad:( Elijah is a wonderful little boy and a joy in are lives. Here are a few photos that I took today for Elijah's Scrapbook. There were a lot to choose from and it was hard so there are more then a few I guess:) We are having a BBQ Saturday for his Birthday and then I will get more photos up.

P.S
Sorry there are no smiles. He doesn't like to smile for the camera much less look at it.

Where to start.....? Well a week ago I took Noah to the Dentist because I saw that his front tooth was turning colors. So all that he could saw was that there were a few different things that could happen and he went on explaining those. In the end he said that it looks like it might be dyeing! I was really sad because that means the tooth might fall out and then he would only have the one tooth in the Front:(


Here is Noah watching the T.V while we waited for the Dentist to
come in.

On Saturday we had a small Birthday Party for Colby's Cousin Trevor. Who is now 19 and going to be going on his mission soon! So exiting!!! Any way I had to practice on a cake before Elijah's Birthday Party on the 20th and thought that it would be fun to make him a fun cake. So I made some Marshmallow Fondant and colored it and then made his cake. It tasted really yummy:) I made a Chocolate cake and put strawberries in the middle with Butter cream frosting. Not to bad for my first Fondant cake.
Here is the First layer with the Strawberries

and then the Fondant

Also in the middle of making my cake Colby thought that it would be fun to tie a hair to a fly and let it fly around. Well in the process of trying to keep the fly in his hand he hurt his wing. Then Noah tied the string so tight he Cut the head off. So that was it for that experiment.

I tried to put on the Second layer and it feel apart:( I almost cried:'(

This is what it looked like done. The top was off a little but not to bad after it feel apart:)

And this is Elijah at almost 1! He is getting so big and he is such a cutie pie. This is the only picture that I have of him smiling showing his front teeth.

This little man has me so wrapped! He always makes us laugh and this movie is a little short but he is so cute:) He loves to dance and he is so funny. Watching him dance makes me miss Noah being little and dancing whenever the music came on:( But my boys are great!

Well I have been wanting to lose 10 pounds just so that i can get rid of my little tummy. I'm not saying that i NEED to lose it. Just that I have the little EXTRA that brings me down sometimes. I am doing well. I have lost 5 pounds in the last couple weeks and I feel great!!!! I have been eating less instead of over eating and just not eating as many sweets and it;s working out so well. Also the boys and I have been able to be outside more so I have been doing a little more activity then usual. I think that since I have not been nursing that it might have helped me to also not be as hungry all the time. So now I feel more NORMAL. lol But I feel great I feel like I am looking like my little tummy is going way and I have more energy instead of feeling tired from over eating or eating sweets and then when all the sugar has worn off I am tired.

I am exited for summer and Colby is soooo close to being done with school. He is such a wonderful husband. He has school then goes to work and then a side job. He just got asked by the daughter of a guy that he worked for if he would do some more work for him since he is on his mission and if he would do some stuff for her. So maybe two other side jobs. I am so proud off him for working so hard in school and still being able to work. He knows that he has priority's and he still gets time to go out and have fun. He is definitely an amazing person. I would be dieing if I did as much as him. I think at the same time he enjoys have things to do. I am so glade that he feels like working helps us out and that he knows that having responsibility's is really important on his part and mine. And since we are in school we need the money and we don't really get out side help expect for food stamps and we are totally fine with that. Even cut are credit cards up because we know that we need to not depend on it for every little thing that we might not have money for. I feel that as a couple we are doing well budgeting and making things work. Finding free things to do is something that we LOVE to do:) We have some wonderful friends that like the same things as us so it makes it nice to be able to go out and have all the things that you need:)

Well any ways everything else is going well. We are just getting ready for Elijah's 1st Birthday and I am sooo exited. I'm not sure what we are going to be doing but whatever it is I think it will be great:) And I will have pictures up as soon as I get new ones.
