happy bedtime baby.avi

this is how Ty is pretty much every night before bed! such a happy, fun boy!

ps....we moved

it all happened so fast, but we MOVED!! this all went down in a matter of just a couple weeks, so things have been WAY crazy! and turns out that we move all of 6 houses down!! our land lord was moving back into his (our) house and we had 60 days to find a new place! luckily we found a place just down the street...same house model and everything! we didn't have to change schools, wards, friends...anything. we really lucked out and are so blessed we found this so quickly. plus...the place has been super upgraded from our last place, and we are paying the same price! SCORE!! if you need our NEW address, just let me know! :)i LOVE this kitchen! it was actually remodeled, so it was different then our last house! it totally opens up the space!hard wood floors...love it! but still getting used to itso much more room in the back yard too! i know it's not ACRES, but it's perfect!

***MOVING DAY***

one of the tricky things about moving just a few houses down, was that we didn't know what to pack in boxes and what to just carry down! and of course we had to or deal of "the piano!!"

thank you so much to all of you who helped ROLL the piano down the street! i know for some of those guys it wasn't their first time moving that thing...and it's a beast! thanks!and of course Blainey...always wanting to help! here he is doing his part!

Maybe they're born with it.....

...beacause i know they don't wear Maybelline!

how is it my boys have such BEAUTIFUL eyelashes? i just had to take a picture of Blaine while he was sleeping...his lashes are so dark and full!

and Ty's are lighter, but still so long, full and pretty! Jealous....ummm YES!!

Tie Dye Fun

a few YEARS ago, Blaine's cousins Paige and Ryker (and aunt juie and uncle t.jay) gave him a tie dye kit for his birthday or christmas and we have always wanted to use it, but never got around to it. the kit ended up at the back of the closet and unfortunately forgotten about. WELL, that is one of the perks of moving...)for those of you who didn't know...we are moving on saturday)....we found the kit and since Blaine was home sick from school, we decided to give it a try!

we decided to make a heart pillow and a onsie for Ty....because of course TY needs a TIE dye shirt!!! it was really simple, and kid friendly. we just tied the strings (that have the dye in them)

then you soak in HOT salt waterooooo, color starting to come throughafter 15 minutes you then untie and rinse under COLD waterthen hang in the sun to dry! only in california can we get away with this in the beginning of februaryTAAAA-DAAAAAHHHH! ty loves his shirtand Blaine wants to give the pillow to his teacher at school for Valentine's day! very sweet! ...it's almost kind of creepy that the heart kind of looks like a real heart with the blue "vein" going through! haha, oh well!! this was such a fun and easy project!
