Feelin' the Funk

I have to cut my hair every 4 weeks because it grows so stinkin' fast. Yesterday was one of those days, and I was feelin' like I wanted to get funky because the day before it was so long and more of my curl was getting harder to hide, and I looked like I had a 50 year olds hair do. So here is what I did.

Caleb loves it, and I'm really likin' it too. Although this morning I did wake up and look in the mirror and forget what I had done and seriously nearly freaked out and had to do a double take. hahaha. I like that the back is really short, and you can see the angle that my hair has now in the side picture. It's fun. Forgive the pictures though, I'm not very good at these super duper close up self portraits. Anyway, you get the idea.

Fun projects, a new yummy, and farm time...

My cute little neice came over to Pocatello last weekend for a dance competition. She did great. She got a 1st in both of her group dances, and her solo. Way to go Kira, we just love ya!
On Saturday we went to town(our regular porters trip included of course!), and while we were in town I found this material that I just loved and wanted to make dresses for the girls with, so I got enough material for dresses for them, and a shirt for Kira. They turned out great and we had loads of fun and laughs doing it.

I also got ribbon to match and made hairbows for them. Pretty cute!

I made headbands for the girls bows to attach to if they wanted as well.

Here are some cute little pictures of them in the finished products.



While my sister was here she made these TERRIBLE looking smoothies out of spinach for us, but insisted we try them because she just KNEW we would love them...and we totally did. Introducing my latest obssession...Spinach smoothies!

It's not like they are completely healthy for you, but I found that I really enjoy them and drinking a cup of these helps take the edge off of wanting that piece of cheescake!(which is all the time for me!) They are PACKED with Iron too, so that's really great. They are really easy peasy to make too. I use:
-about 3 handfuls of spinach
-1 handful of ice
-1 1/2 cups Rice Milk
-1/4 cup hazelnut creamer
-1 banana
You should try them. You might surprise yourself. Oh, and if you want, you can add 1-2 scoops of vanilla ice cream to them too. Your choice on how healthy you want to be:) Although fair warning to you all right now, the kids like them too. I say this as a warning, because as we all know kids can be.........

you might end up with a nice neon green stain on your carpet. I know that looks like something else...sorry, but it's not I swear to you! Love you Adi:)

My Brother Craig lives on what we like to call "The Witters Ranch" because he has this minnie farm that we all LOVE, especially the kids. So we went out there the other day because Claire his momma goat just had babies! She had 3 which is really rare for goats, but 2 of them died. Very sad, but we are excited that Patrick(he was born on St. Patrick's day) is here!

Adelynn really enjoyed seeing them and playing at Uncle Craigs house. He is pretty cool. She was really nervous of Sebastian the Daddy goat, but got used to it and had a wonderful day out there. The sun was shining so nice and brightly, and so it proved to be a perfect day spent on the farm!

Emersyn liked the goats as well, but she tried to eat poor Patrick! Not sure why everything at this age has to go in the mouth, but it does...even animals!

Well there you have the latest update here at the Wall household, hope things are going good for everyone out there...by the way, after this little tease of warm goodness lately, anyone else ready for nice weather?!

Time flies when your having fun

It's been a while since I last posted, so I thought I would throw some pics up here and just say how big my little girls are getting. Adi especially seems to be growing up on me. I can't believe she is already 2 and potty trained with a personality to boot! She is so fun. Here are some funny pictures of her lately.

Here she is after trying to pour her own milk one day. HAHA! I'm not sure where she was pouring it, but it ended up all over her. I know, I'm a mean mom to make her stand there and take a picture before I clean it up, but it was funny:)
I've been working on teaching Adelynn lately that cleanliness means happiness...for her and for me! Here she is practicing on her room.
After she was done doing a severe clean-up-makeover on her room that day she was very excited to play in it and keep it clean and show her daddy. The excitement lasted a whole couple days till she had some cousin friends over, but we're working on it!
So exhausted after all of that cleaning!
Here is Adi with her cousins on the night of her very first sleepover! She was so excited to have them over, and they were very excited to be here! We had pizza and movies and popcorn...a community bath, balloon wars, and story times...good fun! I'm totally prepared to have 5 kids:) heheh




Little Emi is now 5 months old...she'll be 6 here in 2 weeks! Oh my heavens, where does the time go? She is getting so big. She's such a joy. Here are some things Emersyn likes to do:
-roll over
-eat!
-play with family
-laugh at sissy or daddy or mommy
-be tickled
-talk
-stand up with your help
-look at bright colors
-play with rattles and other small toys
-take a bath
-sleep
-be swaddled as tight as a bug in a rug
-give big wet kisses
-try to sit up on her own
I really love having 2 kiddos. Who knew 2 could be so fun? Seriously...those of you who have 1 and are scared for 2...it's great! I love it! Here is a cute couple pics of Emersyn with Daddy...


And I'll go ahead and end it there. How could that smile not make someone's day better?! Have a great one!
