he is #71, and has really done well in his first season....

Cameron is 12yrs old, and plays on the JV *Pop Warner level*

he is #40, and has a really amazing season on the field....

Christian is 15yrs old, and plays on the High School JV team

he is #5, and is such a strong player! always blocking the other boys out of their way...

But on top of that, guess what?!?!?!
we are having ANOTHER BABY!!!!! Yeah!!!!! So exciting!!! I am 16 weeks right now, and we don't know what we are having yet....but soon, very soon we shall know!!
Carly says we are not having another boy! no more boys!!! we need more girls, there are too many boys!! haha....I sure hope I can make her wish come true....
So far I am feeling good, no morning sickness, never have had it really, and I am FINALLY past the exhausted stage....OH MY WORD! talk about being a sleeping zombie 24/7, so glad its pretty much passed....lol

Well life in Moore Town has been on the crazy slide for a while...
Baseball, Baseball, Baseball, all up until the week of July 15th, than our boys were picked for the All-Star team for the Majors & Juniors teams, and they did awesome!
Than as soon as it was done, we drove up the Clark Fork where my In-law's camp every year, and joined them in the last few days of camping....they take all the grand kids for a week every year up there, and its def a time that they all look forward to, the memories that are being made.....so fun!
Now we are back in School, and the kids are back to a reg routine of classes, homework, etc....
Christian is a Sophomore
Cameron is in 7th Grade
Clayton is in 3rd Grade
Carlynn is in 1st Grade


AND Football has started, so we are back in the whole routine of practice, practice, practice, SO FUN! This year Christian will be on the JV team for his High School, Cameron is on our JV Pop Warner team, and now Clayton is old enough to play, so he's on our Mighty Mite team for Pop Warner....LOVE IT! and in 2 seasons, the Princess will be old enough to Cheer, and she cannot wait to be officially on the team.....*which she thinks she's on it already, haha*

He is so good to us, and is always trying his best, to provide all that we need, and all that we want too....

PS:  the baby is practically walking now! he's taking as many as 10 steps at a time!!!!! he's soooo cute!

So I thought I was ready!

But I guess I was wrong!

haha, I kinda jumped the gun just a bit in thinking I was ready to get back to work...
Sorry, it was still a bit crazy around here these past couple of weeks.

So what has been going on???
Well I still had more boxes to unpack, a bit more organizing to do in the house, and my bow room was still a bit crazy, and needed to be cleaned out a bit more....
not to mention, it was also the kids' last weeks of school = CRAZINESS!, AND we had 2 major parties at our house already, LOL, and that took up quite a bit of my time...
we had a big family BBQ for my Birthday, and we had a 2nd party to celebrate Christian's 15th Bday, Corbie's 1st Bday, we wanted to dedicate Corbin, and also have a House Blessing bestowed upon our house...
So there you have it, we've had a lot of fun, enjoying our new home, and have loved sharing our blessing with those around us....so come on over! lol

I can't believe my gorgeous baby boy is already a year old, where has the time gone? He has brought so much joy & love into our home, and he's the sunshine on a cloudy day, when you just don't 'feel like it'....such a sweetie, we wuvs him so much! Boo hoo tho....he's almost ready to walk! argh!!! haha, he is just steps away from being all on his own. He is taking steps on a daily basis now, he's still very shaky, but is getting much stronger everyday....he's so cute!

Truly I can talk about him all day, everyday....lol, but anyday now, he will be a full-time walker! sniff*sniff....
 

So with that, I am going to extend my Giveaway for the rest of the week. I have not promoted it like I normally do, I just didn't have the time, and I would love to give the opportunity for more of you to join in...

you can find the details HERE in this posting....
And I'm offering FREE SHIPPING to all orders placed, just use the code:

to reflect the discount.....

Thanks, and good luck!!!!!

I hope you win.....

She is not as shy anymore, and will participate in class singing songs, doing the hand motions, etc...she no longer buries her head in the ground, not wanting all her friends to 'watch' her....lol, silly girl! But she said her 2 lines with no hesitation, and did really, really well!

AH! where has the time gone.....

it blows me away how time just slips away....
I have not done an update in a week, I have allowed myself to get too busy to not take the time to write....ahhh!

But, one thing I have done is, 2+ doz loads of laundry, 5+ dishwasher runs, swept the house 4x's a day, cooked a ton of meals, poked my fav friends on FB a gazillion times, changed a ton of diapers, and anything else that just goes with the title of 'Mom'....lol

Baby Corbin update.....
he is rolling all over the place
he is sitting up so good now, still needs to be careful with falling over
scoots all over the floor -- helps that we have hardwood floors
goes all over the place in his walker
bounces like CRAZY! in his saucer -- hysterical!!!
drinks water from his sippy cup all the time -- he loves it!
knows how to push the button to get his ball toy to work -- so cute!
and is just the most sweetest, amazing little boy, any mama could ask for...
we are so in love with him!

As for the other kids, Clayton came home to say he has a 'girlfriend' -- eek!!! lol, Cameron is getting ready to go to 6th Grade Science Camp, he's soooooo excited!!!, Carly is reading so well, she's really doing good in Kinder -- amazing how much they learn so fast!!, and Christian is just turning into a nice young man...he's so tall & grown up looking, can't believe my baby is turning 15, let alone just months away from being able to get a permit?!?!?! what??? when did this become possible???
But overall, our kids are doing well, they are healthy, happy, vibrant kids who love to play & get into trouble at the same time....hee hee

Well that's about it for now, I'm trying to get caught up with my Bow orders, doing pretty good at the moment, and looking forward to a busy baseball season just around the corner....

It's back to a reg routine again.....

It is time for the kiddos to go back to school....woo hoo! Exciting but sad at the same time, I have really enjoyed being home with them during their break, but all good things must come to an end....

I have done so many laundry loads, washed a ton of dishes, made a ton of meals, swept the house so many times, driven these boys here/there, had their friends over for the nights....lol, but that is what happens when you have a family of our size! right....lol

Christian is a Freshman, Cameron is in 6th, Clayton is in 2nd, and Carlynn is in Kinder...my babies are getting so big! Than we have our 7m old little man Corbin here at home, so he keeps mommy busy while the olders are away....

Tonight we had a family nite with the kids, after showers, dinner, and lunches were made, we sat at the table to a game of Life, had popcorn & sparkling cider, and it was fun....
I forget how long that game is, and how hard it can be with kids of a younger age....lol, crazy but fun!! I know they had a good time playing it....mom won of course...haha, I had the most money in the end, Christian sued everyone, but we stole all his Life tiles, Carly had like ZERO money the whole game, cuz every turn, she had to pay another bill, Cameron had the best Salary, Clayton kept forgetting to take his turn, and Dad had the lowest salary possible....LOL, too funny how it all works out...
Kids didn't like having to start a new Career, but we laughed, and said, 'That's Life'....lol, sometimes you lose some and win some...lol

So tomorrow I must say bye to them again, happy but sad, glad to get our normal routine back again, glad they will have the work of school to do again, and I'm looking forward to jumping back into my bow biz again....oh how I've missed it, I have literally not touched any of my ribbon for 3wks now....lol

But I have taken the time to update my eBay listings, add more products to my Etsy site, give my Blog a new makeover, and added in new clickable logos to my sites....

I hope all you mommy's are ready for tomorrow! Lunches are ready to go, clothes are laid out, backpacks are cleaned out & organized again, and all the kids are in bed (but I can hear the 2 older boys talking still, lol)....
Happy Back to School Days to you all!
xoxo

Carly's Shrinky Dink Tree.....

turned out super cute!
She is so proud of her little tree, she picked out this Holiday Shrinky Dink tree/ornament set, where you actually built the tree out of metallic pipe cleaners (her daddy did that for her), and I helped her color/cut/bake her Shrinky's....and this is the finished product!

Notice the table here, this is her little Christmas shrine she has going on....she sits at her table, and plays Christmas daily, and has little presents for herself & gets all excited everytime she opens one up....lol, mind you she is the one who wrapped it up...lol
the bigger tree is an 18in kids Pooh tree that I've had since Christian was 2yrs old...
than her Holiday Snowman that she stole from me a few yrs back, lol...
than a Charlie Brown tree that has that blue Linus blanket wrapped on the bottom...than her Shrinky Dink tree...than her Pink Piggy Bank that she colored, painted, and decorated herself...and whatever gifts she has going on at the moment....

so there you go....
her little tree is super cute, it will def stay in her room all year long, and it has followed her around the house, so it is always sitting in the room she is currently in....lol

Vacation, vacation, vacation....

its been a nice break having the kids home from school, not having too many things to do, and not having to get up early in the morning....
we've been able to do some fun family stuff, and the kids have enjoyed their time off from school...

Me on the other hand, I have taken a break from work too. I have not touched any ribbon for over 2 weeks now, Christmas alone has kept me busy, than the after cleanup is just crazy, try to get your house orgainzed again, is just insane....lol, than to put the decorations away, aaaahhh...

lol, but on Jan 2nd, we took our tree down, and once Dad took it outside to get rid of it, Carly started crying...
she was so upset that the tree had to go, didn't understand why we just can't keep it in the house longer, why do we have to throw it away, why can't we just keep the lights going....lol
so I let her set up the 18in kids tree that they have, and she was happy...
she has it set up on her little table, she put a few ornaments on it, has her lights plugged in, and has some little presents along the side of it...
she will sit there and play Christmas over and over, and open up one of her gift boxes, and get excited about the 'surprise' that she put in the box....lol, she's so silly, I just crack up at her...

well I hope all your little ones had a great Holiday season, and I'm sure you're getting back in the school groove again...
we still have another week off, so the kids are home with me!

I'll be getting back to work here very soon again, till then....I am enjoying my break too!

Wow! its been a long time....

since I have updated my blog!
So sorry!!!!!
life has been super crazy this past year, our children keep us so busy with sports & school, not to mention I had another baby, and on top of that, my biz keeps me working on orders daily....whew!

I am going to commit to making it a point to give updates more often, and let you know what is going on in our lives more often...

thank you so much for your dedication!
I am going to add updated pics of our children very soon....

xoxo, Happy New Year
