little miss three…

February 20, 2010

has been so sick this week.

after no sleep on tuesday night,
i took her into the pediatrician on wednesday,
to find out she has stridor croup.

after 12 years of motherhood, i have never heard of such a croup.

she’s starting to feel better, but i must admit i really like the raspy little voice she’s had all week…it’s pretty cute.

being sick hasn’t slowed her down one bit… she’s still everything a three year old girl has to offer, alllll day looong.

for example, these are her favorite accessories each morning. usually sela is in our bathroom, and sneaks into mine and dusty’s closet after her bath time,

at 8:15pm tonight i received this text from sara,

“I am forever changed and so undeserving. This is truly a miracle. He has LITERALLY been raised and brought back from the dead by faith, prayers, and the power of the priesthood.

his very first tooth to lose…


he has decided to not put it under his pillow until he sees the movie,
the ‘tooth fairy,’ which to be honest, i’ve heard is lame and i’m
not looking forward to those two hours…but we will all endure for this guy.

because his night was so exciting, kj asked to sleep in our room,
dusty & i have a red velvet chaise lounge in our room that is the coveted spot to sleep,

chalkboard wall

January 8, 2010

since seeing this playroom chalkboard wall, and the inspiration bonbon shared, i have really been itchin’ to get a chalkboard wall painted! after i took down our christmas decor, and before we hosted our nye party…

i got my chalkboard wall!

of course, like most home makeovers, this project included a couple of steps i didn’t expect. for example, dusty and i made our trip to lowe’s, purchased our paint supplies and then i expected to just come home, tape the walls and start painting.

no.

dusty & danny decided to apply some spackling, sand the texture down, making sure the chalkboard turned out smooth,

one day a man called willow the midget, looked like he was spotted. he had dirt all over his skin and clothes! well when he heard that he was the longest one to go without showering, he was ecstatic! but then the tallest man in the town heard of this. even though he was know for his height, he was also known for how he did not let any one be better than him.

andre the giant didn’t believe this, he was furious. someone well not just anyone but his best friend would try to be better than him. so andre went up to willow and spoke, “why of all people would you do this to me!
