Last few weeks...

Our Tent in the woods and Nathan and I by the fire.

The last few weeks have been very busy. Mother day weekend Nathan and I drove over to Puyallup for the weekend and we were able to spend time with both families and spend Mothers Day with our Moms. We had a great time, and the weather was nice!

Last Wednesday was the Awana Awards night, we had six Cubbies move up to Sparks and two Cubbies who got their first book award.

However, Wednesday was not a fun day. Thursday morning I was to go in for a Upper endoscopy and an Colonoscopy with Biopsy. I wanted so badly to go to the awards night for awana, but we weren't sure I was going to make it because there is medication you take the day before to prepare for these tests. So, I decided to take the medication and then go to the award night. I had not written anything down because I only had eight Cubbies and knew who was getting what. However, due to the medication and the clear diet I had to be on, it's easy to say I was not feeling that great and when I got up to pass out the awards I felt like my brain left my head. I was so embarrassed afterwards, but what do you say? Sorry, I taking medication for my colonoscopy in the morning. Lesson learned...next time no matter if it's only two kids, I'm writing everything down. I even said something like these sparks are moving to cubbies....o man..what can I say.

Anyways, I made it through the awards night, although next I will not leave the house while taking that medication!!

Thursday morning came slowly and the tests well I don't remember them because the sedation they gave me put me out. We are waiting for results, and looking forward to knowing what is causing me to have attacks.

This last weekend Nathan and I went camping, it was so much fun! The weather was perfect for camping and it was nice to get away after a busy week!

About time I post again...

This is a picture of Nathan and I ice skating downtown Spokane...it was a lot of fun and really cold!

My sister is about to have a BABY! She is having a girl and the name is Ivy Leeann Hurt. So, I have been busy sewing stuff for Ivy. Here are a few things I have made:

Blankets! Since my sister lives on what I call a farm, I thought it would be best to make a horse blanket. So, my brother-in-law loves to hunt and isn't that big on Pink...notice the Pink camo ;)

These are the burp cloths that I'm making. They are cloth diapers that you add fabric too. Very easy and Very cute!



I hope you all are doing well and staying healthy!

Amazing Cubbies

This is my second year running the Cubbies program at the Church. All of my Cubbies this year are Second year Cubbies, which means two things 1) I had them all last year 2) This is their last year with me. Next, year they move up to Sparky's. I was talking to Nathan after Club last week and realize...I'm going to miss these Cubbies a lot. While I am very proud of them for moving up to sparks, I'm still very sad that they will not be in my class. These kids are amazing. They all have amazing parents and it shows. Our cubbie class is small this year because last year we had a lot of cubbies move up to sparks...I should add I miss them too. But, I always get a smile and wave from them.

Anyways, I know I will get new cubbies and they will be amazing. I just wanted to write about my amazing Cubbies I have now!

Lets make an Apron

Over New Years weekend, Patty and I made Aprons. They turned out alright, I have some things I'm going to change next time around. It was very simple, and easy. Just thought I would share them with everyone! Enjoy!

First Christmas Together

Nathan and I spent our 1st Christmas together married! This was also our 1st Christmas without our Families. Nathan and I are very close to our families so this was very hard. Luckily, we knew well in advance that we wouldn't be able to go home for Christmas, so this gave me a lot of time to prepare myself. My mother-in-law was a great help. I was able to talk to her about it because she lived in a different state then her family. She was able to ofter words of wisdom from someone who had walked in my shoes. My mom was also a huge help, nothing beats a mother love, and my mom is always so strong and wise. Christmas came and I think Nathan and I realize that it was going to be harder then we thought. We both had to work on Christmas Eve, so that help pass the time. We were planning and looking forward to Christmas Eve service but the snow didn't allow it. Nathan and I found it easier by trying to think of fun things we could start as a family. Like, watching a Christmas movie on Christmas Eve, and making Breakfast, and a nice dinner on Christmas, etc. On Christmas morning I decided to get up a make a nice breakfast for Nathan and his brother Philip (who spent Christmas with us). I ended up having to wake Nathan up...I wrecked the hash browns so bad the boys said they were going to eat them anyway but each after one bite made a face and I said they didn't have to. Spending Christmas with my husband was amazing. Waking up in our home, and spending it together was so nice. I look forward to the Christmases when we have kids (someday) and watching them on Christmas!

I was also able to see all of my family on Christmas Eve, thanks to a Web Cam! I enjoyed getting to see all the kids and family and talking to them while seeing them! We do need to find a better web cam system for the future.
