When it's cold outside they "have" to have their bulldog sweatshirts on... they love them!
Don't pay attention to the yucky fertilized yard.... we are trying to get the grass to grow.... Come on grass grow....
It's a miracle... his hair is actually flat... But, not for long... as soon as it dries it will stick straight up again, and it's getting long too... I'm not sure what to do with it... :) I guess I need to gel it down or something...
So, the other day I was talking to Artie and was just thinking how it would be if I was "just a mom"... and didn't worry about everything else. But, he was like, "that's never going to happen!" Cause he knows how I have to always be doing something and making things, new things and more things :). I love to make stuff for people and make stuff for my kids but sometimes it gets crazy with orders and different things. So, I'm trying to get my priorities straightened out. It's going to be hard because everytime I have orders and lots of things to make I seriously can't concentrate on anything else... I have to just do it all until it's done. Don't get me wrong.. I love doing this, but I feel sometimes like I'm neglecting everything else, LIKE MY MAIN IMPORTANT JOB... TO BE A MOM AND WIFE. So, my goal is to take care of what needs to be taken care of with the house and the kids First and Business can be second. I can't always worry about it... it's gotta be second... MY FAMILY HAS TO BE FIRST. I like giving people things... I'm not a very good business person I guess cuz I'm always giving things away. But, that's why I'll also be doing giveaways on my crafty blog. It's more fun for me to make stuff as gifts for people rather than as business all the time, although the extra money is greatly needed.
Anyway... gosh this is long... But, now for the School part- Before Ammon was born I was taking classes online through Weber State... it was cheaper than SUU and had things that I was interested in. But, since I had never gone to Weber before I needed 20 credits before I could get my Associates from there, although I had everything I needed for my Associates. So, at the time I was thinking of getting my Bachelors through their anyway... so I was taking classes to get 20 credits and all those credits would go toward my bachelors. But, after Ammon was born... I was thinking there is NO WAY I can do all this right now... :( Besides, as figured out from my story above, the main job I wanna have is "being a wife and mother." That's what I've always wanted to do. And I'm so lucky I am able to stay home and do that! So, I contacted SUU to see what I need to do to go about getting my Associates. When I was going to school there they didn't offer Associates, only 4 year degrees, (If I wasn't such a slacker when I was actually in college I could have had my bachelors before I got married.... arghhh! But, lesson learned and I have a real appreciation of school and I know the importance of it and I know more of what I actually like and want to study now). Anyway, since things change all the time, there is a new category to take classes from... "interdisciplinary." So, I need to take 1 class from that section and I will have my Associates. Summer classes at SUU I don't have to pay out of state Tuition... so I'm taking a class online, my last class for now and it started today! IT'S ABOUT TIME DON'T YOU THINK AND I'LL FINALLY HAVE MY ASSOCIATES. When the kids get older I can always go and finish off my Bachelors. But, for now I'm excited to finally have this much out of the way. Yay for me!
(I just love having this little place that I can vent or write my thoughts.. thanks for listening!)

congrats on the (almost) associates! That will be awesome to have that out of the way. I should do that too since I think I'm one class or 1 credit away from mine? Oh well, good luck with yours!! :)
Good for you on finishing up you associates! Now you can focus on your QT's! Way to go!
Good job Ang, I cant wait till mine is done. The kids are so cute. I love ammons hair, he looks so much like you. Anyways, I'm coming home on monday to move out and then I will be down in mesquite for the graduation and jessicas wedding, So i will get to see you guys, anyways, have fun.
Hey Ang-Congrats on your associates-that is awesome~! I can also relate to the focusing on being a mom-The other day both my boys were crying in Target and this lady tapped me on the shoulder and said I know it's hard but please try to enjoy this time because they grow up so fast and then you will have time for yourself and then you will wish you didn't have that time! It made stop and think a little about wanting time to go by fast somedays and wishing I could do more for me-or just do other stuff-kind of funny huh!
I totally adore and admire all your crafts-You are so talented and such a great mom! Keep it up!
ok-it's me again! So yes we are moving back to Roosevelt Utah-can you believe that? Delta told Jackson it would be like 2 years until he could get into SLC-we just can't make it here on his salary and we hate living so far away from our family-so Jackson is so bummed about leaving Delta-but hopefully he will love his new job and that we can adjust back to small town living-but we can't wait for family time! We are moving next week!
