Life: It Is What It Is

Ok, So Daniel (my brother) asked me a few months back (actually made me promise) to make him a mammoth pillow. I promised and im stickin to it!! So here is what i have so far. This is my little set up. Oh man would i love to have a separate room for all my sewing fun.

Oh my gosh! We had so much fun at the pumpkin patch this year! First, i would like to say, this was my first time EVER being at a pumpkin patch. So i was excited! My little family and Brians Brother and sister and their families went along as well. Went through their hay maze. Which even i though WAS AWESOME! i swear my child heart came out! We got a tractor ride to the patch itself to pick out our punkins. We picked our punkins This was Ethans choice....i love his taste in things.. This is our choice Now its time to clean them up..... Ours too! There are tons more pictures!! It would take forever to put them on here. But they are on my myspace. We had so much fun! i cant wait to go next year!

That's a Christmas song as we all should know. But, I think it should be the Autumn theme song. to me,Winter is NOT the best time of the year. I believe fall is. The crisp cold air that can take your breath away. The crispy crunchy leaves that crackle when you step your foot on a pile.. Or, as a reality to us Washingtonians, the mushy gushy leaves that make squishy sounds when you step on a pile. But, i prefer the visual effect fall has on people and the world around. Seeing people starting to dress up warmly. Breaking out there Uggs and fluffy down coats. The beautiful colors you see on a grays harbor hillside. Red, Orange, Gold, Brown. If you think about it, everyone that sees these colors together, gets happy! I cant remember when i last walked into a room that was full of that sweet color melody with a smell of apple cider, and i got upset. No way! my heart and soul were instantly warmed up! even walking through wall mart, through there fall decorations, i take my time ther...

I kinda miss it! who would have thought that something so simple could help a stay at home mother survive her day!!! Anyways, here is an update from my last post. Ethan is in preschool. He likes it alot. Although; I dont think he has made a whole lot of friends though. I wish i could be there with him but that is all apart of growing in this world. Ezra is now a wopping 14 lbs 10 oz!!!! He is a chunko and I love it!!! sadly I think I will be that gramma that annoyingly pinches cheeks until they fall off the face. Brian and I are about the same. We have moved to a different house. We arent on a busy street. We are in a quiet neighborhood, and we both like it alot. Its cozy 3 bedroom that im lovin like McDonalds!!!! i like cozy. Cozy reminds me of my grandmothers cabin out in Lake Quinault. Gramma Lou has the ULTIMATE cozy cabin. Perfect for anytime of year. Brian still works where he works. Soo..not too much goin on... Mainly the kids are growing and changing...makes me sad.

and im tryin to stay strong. Im tired, im bored. Its all starting to get to me. Although, i LOVE being a mother. I feel like i have ZERO time for myself. I went and got my hair cut, they MESSED IT UP!! that didnt help. Ezra is actually doing just fine. He nly wakes up a couple times a night. But because i dont take naps, im still just exhausted. Im super close to getting my licence, which will help things out alot. I can be mre idependent. I can do things. Ethan can get out of the house more. That bothers me the most. Ethan being cooped up. Its not that he is driving me nuts, cuz he isnt. Its just that i want him to do more. He needs to get out as well. But here starting august 9th, he is starting Tae Kwon Do. Awww..he'll be a "little dragon". But that lands on Brians days off, therefore; he can go. I wanted him to be in soccor, which just started, but i dont have a licence, so; he cant go. SO...the fact that my son is cooped up is my biggest motivation to start studying ...
