Just a bunch of baby photos. I guess that i've been ignoring all the comments on how much my three boys look alike. But after scanning some old photos i caught myself thinking the exact same thing... take a look and guess who is who, if you can!

My family. Well, what can I say? We're all pretty crazy, and have a blast being crazy. Jacob and Isaac, now 5 and 3 can run circles around most kids while playing and talking loud enough for the whole city to hear them! Both of them like to narrate every part of the day. Linus, on the other hand (still only 8 mo. old), takes his time with everything. I think he likes to drink in every minute of the day. He can really cruise, just crawling at the moment, but he tends to slowly make his way around the house picking up everything, examining it, and searching out other faces to smile at. I am such a lucky mom. My three boys are so sensitive to others and they LOVE playing. They are all attention hogs, but no one seems to mind because of how darn cute they are.



As much as I love and cherish my three boys with their little personalities (correction BIG personalities), I love and admire my hubby. Joshua is amazing, always has been, and I'm sure always will be. He really is such a talented and giving person. I've really never met anyone who is more apt to serve than Josh. He is so much more patient with me than I deserve. Oh and have i mentioned how darn handsome he is? I've been married to him for almost 7 years now and I still catch my breath looking at him from time to time. He is a my safe haven in life. I know that all my cards are on the table with him. Joshua knows my flaws, and all my shortcomings (which are many), and still loves me... yup! I must be lucky!

How could I have overlooked adding pictures of my cute little button?!?! Here are just a few!

Yuppers... its hard to keep this updated. There are only a couple things that I'd like to write at this moment.


One- I love life... and no matter what happens on a day to day basis, I have a great one. There isn't anything that I could possibly change that would make my life more meaningful or happier. I think, sometimes, that I could possibly be the luckiest girl alive, and then I realize that its only because I really choose to enjoy what has been given to me.



Two- I am thankful for the Church of Jesus Christ. Enough said, right? Nah, let me go on. On sunday I was able to attended my sunday school class ( i was released from Primary Sec. a few weeks back now). Is it not amazing that you can put a group of people into a room, that otherwise might have a hard time communicating with each other, and have a great conversation about the scriptures, and how to uplift and encourage others and ourselves? Is it not amazing that the Gospel can be understood at such a basic level? Is it not amazing that by living such simple "rules" or commandments that we really can be happier and fulfilled people? I think it is. And I'm never more amazed than when I am reminded at church.

Again, I think I must be one of the luckiest girls alive :)

So... we had a blast.... need I say more?!?! Check out the photos and you can see for yourself. We went to a beach and looked for fossilized sharks teeth(brownie beach), ate breakfast at the Amish Market in Annapolis, went to a local craft fair, Baltimore Aquarium, swimming, Assatigue beach, Gettysburg, and to the DC temple, it was a blast!

Hi all who might read this silly thing i call my blog :)
Welp, my latest adventure has been ETSY.COM, ballofyarn.etsy.com to be exact!! I have been crocheting baby items, and a few other things as well to sell on etsy. I was thrilled to find out about it a month or so ago. and havent stopped being excited about it. I think i am just getting my feet off the ground, and that its about to take off, i just need to get more items up and listed. I believe that my style is very unique, if i just had enough arms to crochet everything my mind keep creating :)
Any who, fun stuff and I'll add more Etsy photos as I create them!

AbraCadabra... post! Wouldnt it be wonderful if it were that easy! I never seem to make the time to post on my very own blog :) Let me start from where we left off.
At the VERY end of april last year, we found out that we were pregnant. Could have been better timing, but still a blessing that we could never refuse. Josh was in school, finishing his last semester in grad school, and we didnt have any work plans yet. No insurance, and living in an apartment after selling our beloved home of three years. The apartment was small and cramped with all our "stuff" in it, so the boys (jacob and isaac) and I took long vacations... up to va for a month, and out to Idaho for a week. It was a blast...

After moving from Savannah, GA in June, we ended up in Lovettsville, VA in grandma and grandpa Hales basement while we transitioned between school and a job. What a blessing!!! Three months later we moved into our current place here in Annapolis, MD. Fast recap, but there it is!
