Major update!

Its been 2 months since my last post. I left off before Christmas in the middle of a ton of crafting, so I'll take off from there.

I made a ton of stuff! Pajamas for Marty, Mackenzie and Cameron.



I also made name plates for 3 girls on my moms part of the family.




I sewed Carol a casserole carrier from a pattern I found on Pinterest.


And finally, Danielle's tshirt blanket.



A little update on me. I've lost 60 lbs!!! No updated picture though, there's a slight difference but it's only noticeable on the scale and my clothing size right now. I have dropped 4 pant sizes in almost a year. Also, I'm in my 3rd week of school. I was able to get all 4 online classes this year so I could be home with the kids. I have to say, I'm enjoying the classes and learning a lot. I have history, government, humanities and child psychology. I haven't had a few of these classes in years, I took a lot of science last time doing the nursing prerequisites. Anyways, I figured these would be easy. I was wrong. All of my grades have been really good, but it requires a ton of time. I don't mind all of the reading and note taking, it's just very time consuming. Still trying to work on my time management. I've been up late working, so in exhausted. I'm not a big nap person, and I took a long nap today. Good thing Cameron is with Marty in the truck :/

Mackenzie went back to dance class and Sunday school class after Christmas. Her dance class is now on Thursday nights instead of Friday morning. That is making a huge difference for her. She likes to take her time in the mornings and not rush around and get to dance. I think I'm going to have a problem when it comes to getting up for school next year. There's nothing new to report on Cameron. He's just his normal little boy, rambunctious self. Marty has decided to go back over the road. This week was his first week doing it. I saw him a total of 2 hours since Sunday. Mackenzie was able to go with him to Chicago yesterday. Today we traded kids. I have Mackenzie and she has dance class this afternoon, and Cameron gets to spend the day going to Chicago with his dad. They miss him when he's gone all week. He would have been home more, but the weather has not been helping at all. It took him 5.5 hours for a 3 hour trip last night.





Also, her teeth are great! Except her teeth are crowded and her adult ones will probably come in crooked and she'll probably need braces. But they love going to the dentist and brushing their teeth!
