New Jammies!

All of you may know that my husband is Mr. Fix-it.

His recent fix?

My sewing machine... so yesterday we headed to the fabric store and picked up the necessary items needed to try it out.

I decided that jammies sounded easy, and we let the girls pick out which fabric they wanted.

Can I just tell you that after at least ten year of sewing nothing harder than a baby blanket or patching up an old pair of Anthony's jeans, I had to call my poor Mother at least a dozen times!

But I figured it out, and the girls are asleep in them right now!

They look pretty good if I do say so my self... just don't look to close!

I guess tomorrow I need to sew Alyssa's together.

NieNie Readers...

For those of you that read NieNie, you need to go see her blog. She has posted a picture of herself. One year after her plane accident. It is so bad. Seeing her now puts so many things into perspective. I honestly don't know if I could have the kind of attitude that she has. She is such a beautiful person....
we should all be so thankful to be living the life that we have.
We have so many things.
The important things.
Life.
Love.
Happiness.
Health.
Children.
Nieces.
Nephews.
Parents.
And a father in heaven that loves us unconditionally.

Bunkbed Progress...

Cindy's kids have out grown the old bunk beds and we got them! What a chore! We sanded them down, which took forever, and after the first day of sanding I got a sore throat and started feeling pretty crappy. When I woke up the next morning I felt like I had the flu. I was so sore! After 4 days of sanding we finally got them painted. I chose a medium brown because the girls bedding and Alyssa's bumper pads and sheets are all brown and pink. I think once we get the room all together it will look really nice. I also painted a shelf that was in their room to match the bunk beds. Now I just need to get new curtains cause I don't think the purple ones go very well with everything else.

Now... I know that we still have a lot to do but this is how far we've come. We still need to get some bunky boards and a couple of hardware pieces but here you have it. Once we get it all done we'll put Alyssa in with the girls. Ashlynn & Hailey are really excited for that. We'll see if they still are after the first night!

Our 6 Year

Anthony,

After all these years I love you still.

I believe I love you more.

I have come to depend on you

and do not believe I could survive without you.

You are the one person I turn to

when I don't know what I'm doing.

I rely on you to open jars,

fix the washer,

clean the dryer,

mow the lawn,

wash the car,

fix the car,

scrub the bathroom,

scrub the toilet,

vacuum the yucky stuff that's always in the couch,

get the mail,

scratch my back,

talk with the kids when I've had enough,

play with the kids,

love the kids

and most of all...

to love me,

even when I don't deserve it.

I know that you'll always be there for us.

You are the only constant in my life.

I love you.

I hope that you always know that.

Never doubt that.

~Chelsey

We're off...

...to St. George!
Anthony is taking me home for our....

dun da na na...

6th anniversary! I can't believe it! 6 years on Sunday.
Here's to another happy 6.
Oh what adventures we'll have...
moving back to SG,
Anthony finding a job,
me starting school,
having another baby (hopefully a boy so we can decide we're done),
me finishing school,
building our dream house! (Anthony had a class last semester that required him to make house plans, so we sat down each night for a month and dreamed on up!)
I guess some of this is in out next 10 year plan,
but it seems to close!
I am going to be taking some on line classes, this fall semester, from Dixie.
I am excited to get them out of the way.
Me teaching will be the only way we will ever be able to build our dream house,
so it's got me really motivated.
Wish me luck!
Wish US luck!
