Im Back!

So wow, its been a really long time since Ive posted anything. December was a really busy hectic month for me so it just never got done. I went to Boise twice and also up to rexburg to see Amiee and then I flew to my mom's house for about 2 weeks. All this traveling was done during all sorts of snow storms that everyone had during December. But amazingly, we never really had too many big problems and always made it to where we were going safely without a lot of delays. So that was nice. Makella actually did really good with all the planes and car rides and More car rides. Everywhere we went just had more fun people and kids for her to play with, so she did good. By the time it was all over though, I could tell she was ready for some normal life. The plane ride home was pretty bad and then trying to get through the airport with a crying baby, 2 HUGE bags, a carseat, a diaper bag, and an overstuffed purse was possibly one of the worst things ever! It was definataly a sight to see, But we eventually made it and it is nice to be back to everyday things. I have a million cute pictures from all my adventures, but this blog would never end it I posted them, so I will only limit myself to a few just to get the point across.

We had christmas up in Boise with Jon's family and we really had an awesome time! We spent Christmas Eve and Angie's house playing games and had a little devotional this which was really good and then we had christmas at Aaron and Kelly's house. Makella loved her Uncle Aaron and he introduced her to the wonderful world of trains! They watched a whole history channel show together about trains and she was Glued to the tv. I've never seen her want to watch something unless it is a cartoon or kid show, so it was pretty funny. It was just a good for us to spend time with everyone up in Idaho since we dont get to see them all too much.

A couple days after Christmas, I flew over to my mom's house in Washington and spent the next couple of weeks over there. During that time we hung out with Matt and Mandy a couple of times which was really fun. We had a really fun new years eve night playing games and eating way too much food and then Matt Made an awesome dinner over at his house for new years day. Makella had such a good time over there with all of pete and leah's kids and then Jeff and Val even came over from yakima for a couple days. There is nothing better than spending time with family so I loved it! I even drove over to Sunnyside for a whole 24 hours and got to see my grandparents! They had never met Makella before so it was good for her to meet them and she warmed up to them instantly! It was great! Thats kind of a small recap of the past couple months.

This is Makella, Lilly, and Danika who are all 4 months apart. Danika the oldest, then Ella, then Lilly. It was fun to watch all three of them together. We tried to have a little photo shoot of the 3 of them. this was probably the best one of the bunch. It seems to show their different personalities. They are all so cute!

While I was there I had my mom help me with all kinds of sewing projects since I have small desires to be able to sew things really well. The reality is that it is pretty hard for me to do, so having my mom there to help me ensures that I can actually do it right! Around christmas time I decided I wanted to try and make makella a christmas dress...Its not to hard right? WRONG. It was Really bad. I finished it and she wore it the next day for church and it Literally fell apart...they had to tie things together just to keep it on her. It was really embarrassing and bad, but I decided to try again at my moms, and hooray! It worked this time! This one wont fall apart and though it may be a little minnie mouse like, I think its cute! I did most of the dress myself, (my mom helped with the hard parts). I was pretty proud of myself for doing this! I also made a quilt for when we move Ella from her crib, which might be pretty soon. and some other skirts. That about sums everything up and I will end it there before this gets to be too long. There will be more recent posts to come, I promise!
