More Babysitting



So as I said in a previous post, this month has been filled with babysitting. Landon and I just recently watched his brothers kids Friday through Sunday. It went really well actually! I learned A LOT about my husband! We had 3 boys to watch! I was really impressed with Landon! I knew he would be good with kids, but, I did kinda expect that I would be the one getting up at night, and I would change the diapers, and feed little Aiden. Well, the first night, I got up with Aiden, and a minute after, he came over and told me to go lay down. The next day, he fed Aiden some of the time, and helped get the other 2 boys ready. He really stepped up! I realized I found a GREAT catch! It only gets better! The last night we were there, Aiden got up more than once, and Landon was so great, he got up every time! He tried changing his diaper! He is such a great guy! I am definantly a girl who cares a lot about kids, and can't wait to have some of my own! I am so glad that we were able to babysit, and I was able to learn more about my husband! It is true what they say, I really do fall more in love with my husband with every day that passes by! I wish I would have been able to get more pictures of that weekend, but the battery to my camera was dying, and so I was only able to snap 2 shots.

Enjoying the great outdoors!






Landon and I went hiking sort of for a little bit, and enjoyed a picnic. I love having days off with my Husband, and just being o enjoy it! Things don't tend to get done when my Husband and I have the same days off, but that is okay. I am such a lucky girl! I have a great husband who treats me so well!! He does a good job trying to spoil his wife! Thanks Landon! I am the luckiest one no battle!

Its a girl thing!





So this month has been full of babysitting! I was able to babysit my sisters girls a couple weeks ago. It was a lot of fun, especially since I don't get to see them very often. Well I decided it would be fun to go and get some bright colored nail polish, and paint their finger nails and toe nails! It was so much fun, and they really seemed to enjoy it. I am excited for down the road a little bit, when I can hopefully have a girl of my own, that I can be girly with, and just have fun! Here are some pictures!

While M and L were playing outside after we had painted our nails, and toe nails, cute M was riding her scooter up and down the sidewalk, and singing. So M came walking up to me and says, "I am singing more beautifully than normal! I have a beautiful voice just like my mother!" I told her yes she did, and she went along riding her scooter for a while longer, and comes back to me. She looked at me with her cute smile, and says "Don't tell anyone about that. " I asked her why she didn't want me to tell anyone else, and she replied" Because than they might want me to sing a musical or something like that, and I just don't know if I really want to do that. " I love being around kids! The things that they say and come up with, keeps your life interesting! Thanks Jaym for letting me watch the girls!

Easter Egg Hunts!










So here are a couple pictures from both Easter Egg hunts! I love being able to spend time with family! Family means so much to me! I don't know where I would be without them, and I am so lucky with my in-laws! I really have the best in-laws, and am so glad I get along with all of them! At Landon's family, there were 2 golden eggs to be found! My cute little nephew found one of them! You can tell he was so excited! I also had to put a couple pictures up of another nephew even though he wasn't old enough to look for eggs! He is so cute! He does not help the baby hunger factor! I always look forward to playing with him at family events!

Ukranian Eggs






For Easter this year, we were fortunate enough to be able to make it to both family partys! At my parents, we used my Mom's Pysanky dying kit, or they are also known as Ukranian Eggs as well. It was a lot of fun, Landon and I both really enjoyed dying them! They are fun, because you can really take your time, and do fun designs! The other great thing, is usually you blow the egg, so it is empty, so we will be able to use the eggs for decoration next year, and years to come! Here are some pictures!

8 dozen cookies anyone?


So the other night, my sister had said she made apple sauce cookies. When I was growing up, I always loved when my dad would make these cookies! They were such a GREAT treat! I also know that all of my family thought they were yummy too, because they would be gone so fast! Well I decided I just had to make them, it was my date night with my husband, and I made him stop at the store to get ingredients on the way home from dinner so I could make them! Well I started making them at 10 pm. Landon thought I was crazy for starting them so late! Well I thought that when my dad would make them, he would double the recipe, and even with it doubled, they were always gone so fast! So I decided that I had better double the recipe so I wouldn't regret not making enough. Well apparently I was wrong, and it was never doubled, because I had around 8 dozen cookies, pretty big too! Needless to say, the pigs at our house were able to enjoy some as well since they didn't all get eaten in time! I also took some pictures, I actually remembered to put on my apron so I didn't ruin yet another shirt!

I'm Back!

Well after a long break from blogging, not intentionally I am back, and I will hopefully be able to get caught up! My laptop was having issues with the charging cable, and my husband finally fixed it, so I just uploaded all my photos, and am starting to post again!
