Wow, it's been awhile

Well let me do a quick recap of the last few months.
We moved the weekend of General Conference to South Orem. It's a great place that fits us really well. It is actually my Grandma's house, she lives in the basement. We have the upstairs and part of the basement. It is a 3 bedroom house and it is fully fenced, it also has a swing set in the backyard.
 Ok, here we go.....starting in January. Shannon got her ears pierced. She did really well, she was more afraid of the other Wal-Mart worker who was just watching. She has some major stranger anxiety sometimes. She still has no interest in walking, she loves to crawl around and is such a happy girl.
Decided to do some activities with Conner that I learned off of pinterest. We used the blow dryer at first but it was taking forever so I used my embossing gun instead. Only took a minute.

Made our own puffy paint.


I decorated a shirt for Shannon. It turned out pretty cute. I bought this plain shirt from Wal-Mart, and some ribbon from Hobby Lobby.
Pinned them down and sewed, then I added a purple ribbon across the top to tie in the back.

In February I chopped my hair on a compulsive whim. Still regretting it everyday.....I cut off 12 inches.

Shannon's birthday is February 28th, Conner's is March 7th so we had a double fish party. It is suppose to look like you are under the water.
Jellyfish made out of paper bowls and ribbon.
Their fish cake that I attempted.
Everyone singing happy birthday. Conner really didn't like the attention.
We had a pinata out back. The bat only lasted through about 6 kids, then it broke. The kids then used a rubber mallet to break it open.
They were both so spoiled! Steve and I were blown away at everyone's generosity.

We had no idea how much Shannon loves dolls. My sister Debbie gave this to her and Shannon loves to hold her and rock her.
Shannon and Conner just playing.

This is in our new house. Conner had a little box of chocolate milk and Shannon really wanted some, so he decided he would share with her. They didn't even spill.

Tonight Steve and the kids were throwing that bear up at the fan trying to get it stuck. They all thought it was pretty fun.

Success.
