Wow, it's already March....actually it's already the middle of March. How time flies and moves so slowly at the same time. The work day moves so slowly but then it seems like the weeks are flying by.
We started March off with a quick weekend trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas. It was a nice relaxing 2 days. I'm can't say we'll ever go back but it was nice while we were there. We were able to go hiking on the 1st day and then on the second day we went downtown and toured some of the bathhouses. It was fun, but mostly because we were together without any stress.
Brent was on spring break the 1st week of the month. He enjoyed relaxing and hanging out at home. We mostly finished the ornaments for our advent calendar that week. I still have to finish sewing the hooks on but that is all. Then we just need to make the actual tree, which will be super simple.
We were able to go to Jackson the first time since New Years. We went on the 5th to celebrate dads birthday. It was nice hanging out with the family.
Life is just that, life. We are as boring as you might think, and we love it. I've made a goal this week to be in bed by 9 everynight. I've been in bed, but I need to work on the whole sleeping part. I just have so much to say at the end of the day. We went and played games at another couple's house on Saturday. We really enjoyed that. We like games and we happen to like the other couple too. On Sunday we had my new visiting teaching and her husband over for dinner. I'm working on the whole getting to know people thing. Sometimes I just feel too tired to try to hard.
This week will be fun but busy. Then Monday will start again. I'm looking forward to my spring break. Where I plan on finishing a few projects and relaxing. I really wish that Brent and I had the same breaks in school. I really want to get to know his family better which would require me being around them more. I would love to go spend time in CA. And I'd go alone but would rather go with Brent. Plus both of his parents work so I wouldn't get to spend a lot of time with them anyways. And lets be honest, they would rather Brent be with me too.
I'll post pictures soon. I've taken them, I just need to put them on the computer.
Wreath for the door. I love love love this!
The top stars are 3D 
Super cute stars. I made these to be hung as a mobile. 
The cute/scary face that my husband wakes up to every morning. I'm not completely sure what I was doing here. I was trying to make a funny face for Brent to take a picture of. But I kinda just look mad. That is my angry face. But forreal, I wasn't angry. And if I was, I for sure wouldn't post a picture of it on the blog.
It's true, we were this close. No zoom people, we had that good of seats.
Me and Arianne. I had a picture of me and Brent but I just accidently deleted it. Oops. I'll add it when I get home. Life is good and happy, even if the one picture makes me look angry. I'll be honest, Brent makes it hard to get mad so I don't make that face very often.
And this is the back. And their is a story that goes with each ornament. I'm pretty please with it. I think we will hang it on fabric that matches our stockings. I just need to find the right fabric for them. I wanted to get them done over spring break but I won't have the fabric by then
In case you can't tell what they are:
For breakfast Brent made us his pancakes and we ate ice cream with them. That's right, we had ice cream. We always say that we don't have rules at our house. Of course we do have them but we are so cool the kids can't tell.
Friday night we pained our letters. E for Elle and M for Macey. In my head they were suppose to look a lot different. I bought paint to match their rooms and it was gonna be super cute. Well they did turn out super cute, just not the way I had imagined. Saturday morning, once the paint was dry, we put lots and lots and lots of jewels on them.
The paint jobs before we did the jewels. Wow, those girls have some major talent. And I think I scored big with a husband that allows me to have the kids over. Elle and Macey ended up on my bed with me and Brent slept on the couch. What a great guy! Sheesh, I love that man!
We toured some old bath houses while we were there. I'm not so sure we were suppose to touch anything but we touched everything. No one was around, so we felt good about it.
Because I think he's pretty cute and I like taking his picture. It was really pretty. You can see the steam coming off the water behind him.
Not the best picture of me but it was super pretty.
They had lots of hiking and we took advantage of it. It was decent hiking, nothing to write about so I won't but we enjoyed being together and we got to check off something on "our list".
No one else was out that day, well maybe they were but not around us. How do you like my hat, B for Brent? I think we are pretty cute together. And even if you don't agree that we are cute, I can promise we are perfect for each other.
Ginny, being the big girl that she is, slept in the spare bedroom. Aubree and Elle started off in the living room but Aubree moved into the bed with Ginny (she was awake by this time).
And Brent found a new snuggle friend. Elle loves Brent and always wants to be around him. It was super cute because during our movie night the girls were all with Brent and I was left alone. I think he likes how much they like him. And I like it too.
Anne Zobell got us this super cool popcorn popper for our wedding and the kids love it. We've decided it's a mans job to pop popcorn and the kids think they need to just stare at it. They are so dang cute.
Us eating our delicious dinner. Bacon, eggs, and pancakes. I love these girls and love living close to them. We are so lucky!
While the girls and I ate, my man cooked. Don't let the picture fool you. I made the eggs and bacon, he flipped the pancakes. Actually pancakes are the only thing Brent has made for a meal since we've been together. Good thing he's a dang good pancake maker.
