Oh Flip Video how I love thee.....

I got a flip video camera last week.  Well the first one didn't want to hold a charge...so back to Costco for an exchange, so flip #2 works like a charm! I love it, it films in hd, you can make videos (add  music, credits ect), greeting cards AND take snap shots from the video's you shoot!  So here are two videos I've shot.  First  Emma and plums. Second Ben just being silly!



And the two snapshots of Emma's video I took!
Pretty good quality for snapshots from a video!

Anywho my new love, my Flip Ultra II in HD of course! ;)

Getting Ready for the nicer weather?

So are you all getting ready for the nicer weather that is (soon hopefully) coming our way?  Well we are getting ready too! Part of that is shopping for new clothes (the warmer clothes will not be around much longer with warmer weather on the horizon!), getting new things for my home and outside to work on the yard.

I cam across a great shopping site! CSN Stores.  They sell everything you would need.  They sell great baby items, great items for your kitchen (this includes the sink as well!), wooden swing sets, patio accessories and more!  Plus the prices are really affordable!  And you can do all your shopping on one site!  Which for a mom of three makes shopping so much easier for me too!  So go on and check them out! I bet you can find at least one thing if not more than one thing that you are needing!

Snow, snow you say????

So today and Thursday we are suppose to get 4" of snow here in Hillsboro, OR.  It's been snowing on and off today with rain.  So it's getting there.  Tonight I think we might start getting actual snow!  Joy! (As you can tell with my response I'm not a fan of the snow. I'd rather go to the mountains when I want to play in the snow! hahaha)

Miss Emma recently tried apricots...not a fan of these either!




Emma's been doing really well.  She's doing great on tummy time and we recently switched her to cloth diapers! The poor thing is teething like crazy!  So she can sometimes not be such a happy little girl!



Lilly is doing really well still with her school work.  I haven't scanned any recent ones because we've been so busy but next time I'll have some to show you!

Ben is doing well too!  We are watching the Signing Time DVD's with him and he's really responding to those!  He's learning signs and is talking more!  Click here to see their website and different products!
Ben has recently learned to climb in and out of his crib and open his bedroom door.  Not too sure how I feel about both and how independent he is getting. :P


Matt and I are doing well.  I got some medication to help me with my anxiety attacks and am currently looking for someone to talk to.  Matt's still working at Intel and still of course being a good daddy and playing his WoW!

I recently thought it has been a long time since I did something for me.  SO I cut my hair and colored it.  I am in LOVE with it! 
Here is before:
And now after!
I'm totally in love with it all! :)

Here are some more fun photo's of the family!

Matt got me a Flip camcorder!  I'm so eager to use it.  Just need to find the time to get it out of the package!  Well since we are predicted snow look for our snow photos!  Until then!

New foods and friends!

Emma has had an exciting past two weeks.  She has tried solids (rice cereal first), apples and kiwis!  Tonight we try apricots!  Lilly has been busy doing school work and she's doing pretty well!  Ben well he's busy being a two year old exploring his world.  He recently learned how to climb in and out of his crib.  Joy! lol

Lilly in the first week as learned the Letter A
Learned the color red
Learned the number 1
Learned circles
In the second week she learned the letter B
The color green

the number 2

And the shape square
This week we are doing the letter C, the number 3, the shape triangle and the color blue!

As I told  you before, Ben has learned the fine art of climbing in and out of his crib....


Our friends Aaron and Amanda and their two boys Charlie and Logan came to visit.  So Logan and Ben are in the crib having a good old time! :)
There is Logan and his mom.
And here is Charlie
I also took some family photo's for them.  As we all know family photos with two young kids are never easy.  So after many takes, these are the few we got that turned out! ;)


It was a nice visit.  Amanda and I got some adult time which we all know stay at home mom's crave this! lol

Here is Emma trying rice cereal for the first time!


She also tried apples!



And she tried kiwi....come to find out she can only handle a few bites of kiwi before a meltdown occurs! lol




Next we are trying apricots!  Should be fun!
We are doing well.  Just hanging out at home, doing Lilly's school work, I'm working out and we are just keeping our schedules! :)

Awww yes how could I forget, the jewerly set Matt bought me!
