SPT - Something New
Our SPT challenge for this week is: may means *wedding month* to me. and, no, this challenge is not going to be about weddings (unless you want it to be...) this month's challenge is simply:
tuesday, may 6 something old
tuesday, may 13 something new
tuesday, may 20 something borrowed
tuesday, may 27 something blue
I took some NEW pictures of my children this week.
Also, I bought these NEW headbands. A friend of mine put on a fabulous (headband) party. A bunch of women got together to visit and try out these headbands (below) by Pink Bench. They are brilliantly made to stay on your head and not hurt... so I bought two. We all had a wonderful time. Thanks Kari Dawn! Your an amazing hostess!

Weekly Blessing catch-up - Brad's Helpfulness & Girl's Nights
I missed two Sundays of weekly blessings. So today and throughout the rest of the week I'm going to try to catch-up on this and everything else that has been going on.
I'm extremely grateful that my husband is always willing to lend a hand in whatever I'm doing. On the third of this month I had a Book of Mormon party for my Valiant 11 class. It was a good-bye party for a couple of the girls in my class. One of them had moved out of the ward earlier this year and one is moving away next month. My husband helped me clean the house, prepare meals while I prepared for the party, and he watched our children, keeping them out of the way during the party. You probably get, from reading different blog entries, that my husband's a pretty awesome guy, eh?
My class had a great time playing games & eating junk. We played a combo game of LDS pictionary, charades and sculptionary, we also played 1-100 Dice, and then the kids went on a scripture treasure hunt to find their party favors.
Another thing I am grateful for is Girls Nights Out. I have enjoyed quite a few get togethers with friends lately and I sure have needed them. My children don't quite give my mind enough stimulation each day, so it's great when I have the chance to visit with women.
I went to a headband party (which will be bogged about in my SPT) on the first of May. Then on the third I went to Kerstin's shower for her baby. Kerstin is well known for making the most amazing food, so we got these cute party favours of Kerstin's favorite recipes to take home. I'm so excited to make these! Actually, I'm more excited to eat what I make, then the making it process.

SPT - Something Old
The spt challenge this week is: may means *wedding month* to me. and, no, this challenge is not going to be about weddings (unless you want it to be...) this month's challenge is simply:
tuesday, may 6 something old
tuesday, may 13 something new
tuesday, may 20 something borrowed
tuesday, may 27 something blue
Lets see... Do I have anything old around my house... I do! I see a few things!... Actually I see many things. If fact everything is old. Looks like next week will be a little trickier to figure out. This week my only problem will be how much to include.
Thank-you Brad!!!
Brad as a baby. Old looking face - little baby arms. He hasn't changed much but fortunatly he grew into that head of his. His body is proportioned much better now.

Adoption Update
I feel like I'm always trying to catch-up my life. I never seem to be ahead of or even on schedule. Does anyone else feel that same way? Throughout March and April my time was consumed with answering the very long adoption questionnaire (a major part of the adoption application process). These were extremely hard for me to answer because 1. they were difficult personal questions and 2. I am absolutely horrible at putting thoughts and words coherently on paper. English = worst subject and Math = best subject, you see my dilemma? I congratulate myself that one of the hardest parts is now done, but there is so much more left to do.
Next, we did FBI check. That was simple and painless.
As of last night I have also been CPR certified. Although that was fairly simple it sure wasn't painless. You would think one four hour course wouldn't be so bad, eh? Not so my friends. I woke up this morning with sore muscles all over. I am also sad to report that after giving my dummy four hours of CPR I couldn't bring him back :(
I'll be updating more on our progress with the adoption application shortly.
