Also Getting Cuter

This little one makes me smile.

Here she is being silly.


Something just didn't taste right?


Trying to convince me to give her teether a try.


I didn't want it. My loss I guess.

Getting Cuter

These little guys are sure growing quickly. They are already over four weeks old and we sell them at 8 weeks. They are just starting to get really playful. Even now I can hear little yips and growls in the background. In another week or two they will be really really fluffy, that is my favorite, along with their little prancing walks. Right now they're only just bigger than my hand stretched out.

A Few of My Favorite Things

You know those things in life that you just love, that make life a little easier, or cheaper, or more fun? I decided to put up a few of those today to show my appreciation for whoever created them.

1. Amazon Mom

This has saved me a lot of time and money. Amazon mom has free two day shipping for all members for up to one year, and it's free!
They give you up to 30% off on baby items (if you use subscribe and save which you can cancel at any time). All of the diapers I have purchased have been almost HALF of what they would've been in the store. I used the prime shipping for the majority of my Christmas gifts and it was so nice to get free shipping and items that had good ratings. I have loved Amazon mom.

2. Some of my Favorite Baby Items...

a. The Rock n Play

Love Love Love this item. Kambri is just now getting a little big for it, but we have used it everyday! She sleeps in it, naps in it, and if we prop up some blankets, she can eat in it too. It's super light so I can carry it up and down the stairs. It was a lifesaver when she was a newborn. I'm sure you've seen numerous pictures of her in it.
i.e.

We've also loved the baby care timer seen in this photo. Only recently have we stopped using it because she has a pretty consistent schedule. Super useful!

b. Her Seahorse

This item has put her to sleep soooo many times.
See it on the left?


c. Her Jumperoo

It's fun to see her enjoy this so much. And it gives my arms a break. Two thumbs up!


d. Sophie the teether

We love Sophie!


e. Nifty Formula Holder

So much less mess!

f. My Diaper Bag

I LOVE this diaper bag! I wanted a nice one that would last a while and it has held up through quite a bit so far. It's been thrown, scratched, stepped on, dropped, etc, etc, and it looks brand new. And it has soooo much space (though it is a little large, but that has been fine since it has stroller/cart straps). Don't pay full price either, I believe the site I got it through (see link above) had a 20% off and free shipping coupon. I think I paid around $60 ish. I love that the site has reviews as well. This bag is one of their "best of the best" items.

3. Do It Yourself Blogs:

a. Love this one for Crafting/Baking! It pulls its stuff from quite a few sites, so there's only need to check this one if you want.
b. This one for Furniture/home redecorating!
c. Refashion can be found Here
d. And this one is great for marriage/dating!

4. My Cricut

I whipped this up in like five minutes, we're going to make some cookies to go with it for our awesome neighbors!


I've also found an awesome site that sells the cartridges for like $16, which is a great deal! Or you can get the program 'Make the Cut' or 'Sure Cuts A Lot' and use free SVG files, which is what I did above.

5. City Deals

Last Saturday I found out we were celebrating three birthdays in Justin's family. All women. No gifts. Hmmm, I hopped on City deals and got a 30$ gift certificate to a cute little nursery, a 60 minute spa wrap, and a 50$ gift certificate to make an online photo book. How much did this cost me? Approximately $15 dollars a person and I printed them off right then. Can you say good deal?! They loved them!

6. EMealz

I do not like to cook. Every night we struggled to find something for dinner. Well no more! Emealz gives us five recipes (all super easy, a must for me), the main and side dishes, and a grocery list for them with their approximate cost. This service is $5 a month. Completely worth it. Last I checked you can use the coupon code 'dave' and get a few extra dollars off for your first time.

7. KSL Classifieds

No where else can you get these three stools for $25 total



8. BareMinerals

I love this makeup. It's a little pricey, but it lasts me almost a full year! So I think it's worth it, and it looks awesome.

9. WallFlowers

My house always smells amazing! And they're constantly on sale for $6 for the two packs. Just one lasts about a month, so the $3 is totally worth it to me! I've had so many people say my house smells great (even if I think it smells like dog).

10. Another Shout out to Rod Works!

Going to this store is my own personal heaven. And their prices aren't too bad either. Check out their facebook page for a 30% off coupon.

11. My Kindle

I love to read. And they let you try a sample of any book you want to buy. The majority of their books are under $10 and you can download them instantly. Sigh.


12. LDS Journal

I've been trying to do better at keeping a journal, and this makes it much easier. Plus they have basic questions about your life (ie childhood, dating, marriage, kids) that are fun to answer and you can print it off as a book whenever you're done!

13. SUGARDOODLE

This site has saved me sooooo many times! They have awesome primary helps that are easy to open and print off. Recently I've been using their pre-made power points for my class and the kids love it! They also usually have games, and your handouts already done up and ready to print off. I can't say enough praise for this site!

14. Windows Live Writer

Makes blogging much easier. Period.


Sorry this got so long, I guess I've got more sites/items I love than I thought!

All Mine

Don't even think about taking away the bottle...


You don't want to find out what will happen.

Family Dinner

Once a month we eat over at Justin's dad's house for family dinner. This is where we get to see Kambri's other same-age cousin, Kyler. He's just over two weeks younger than her, but a little bigger. With a house full of little boys over for dinner, Six to be exact, you get pictures like this:



And Kambri was being extra whiny/needy in a place she didn't know so she wouldn't let me put her down without crying. Here are a few better ones.





Yep, those were the better ones. But he's such a cute little guy.

Bada Bing!

My dad's house is done and closed on. That was a long time coming, I think my siblings would agree. It is right around 4000 sq ft total (with an unfinished bsmnt that should be done within the next couple of months), 4 bedrooms (including stef/kasi's giant room that was supposed to be two), and 3 bathrooms. It's also on about a 1/2 an acre.

Quick Tour.

Entry, There's a front room off to the left with a built in windowseat, but I didn't grab a picture of it.

Another Shot


Small Deck


Family Room


Part of the master bathroom. My dad was so excited to get a 'toilet room'.


The master closet. It's almost big enough to be its own bedroom.


The loft upstairs


Stefani in the giant bedroom she is sharing with Kasi (they also have a walk in closet)


Kylan's Bathroom


Overall, I think he'll be happy with it. Now on to the decorating, yay!

At The Park

What to do when it's almost 70 degrees outside? The park of course!

First you hit the swings. If you're not big enough you get to share...


If this is your very first time you might hold on for dear life.


Before realizing that swings are awesome!


Yep, nothing like a good push from Mom.


Dextin got the crappy side, but he's making the best of it.


Next we made our way to the Slides. We were excited, the babies...eh not as much.


Aunt Stefi was awesome and took Kambri on the Big Slide.


What to even think of that?! What a thrill!


Got it down? Now you get to do it alone, yay!


Yep, I'm excited for more Spring Weather days.

Best Buddies

Justin is hoping these two become good buddies. Currently she enjoys pulling Koda's hair. Does Koda enjoy this? Um, Not so much.

Another set of Best Buddies:


Cutest Cousins Ever? Possibly.

The puppies have their eyes open! They're not terribly adorable yet- that'll come in a few weeks, but their coloring is awesome. My favorite is this little gal. She is going to be a cute little fluffball for sure.
