In need of Design!

2011-08-30T09:30:00.001-07:00

So my house is so empty and boring still. I need to decorate, but the task of it is overwhelming. Today though I saw a giveaway on "Tatertots and Jello" for a designer to help you figure out a design for one room. You can see her work on "Design Dump".

Here is the contest, you can see her blog from the links on this site.

Wish me luck! I really want to win!

Happy Easter

2011-04-25T13:56:00.000-07:00

Here is an Easter video for your viewing:

We hope you all had a great Easter! We enjoyed ours. It was especially uplifting to have Henrik tell us the Easter story. It truly is so great that we can all live again because of our Savior's sacrifice. It's also amazing that because of his atonement we are able to be healed of our sorrows, pain, sin, and any other hard things we may face. He is there for us, if we will accept his love. With Him, we will be able to overcome so much.

Love you all!

House Updates

2011-03-24T20:29:00.000-07:00

As I mentioned before, we made a few changes to the house when we bought it. We spray painted some light fixtures to match the rest in the house, painted some bathroom cupboards, etc. We are still working on a few things, we will post those later.

The biggest project so far, was the kitchen. We knew that if we didn't do something in the kitchen NOW, we probably wouldn't do it after moving in. We had a limited budget for this project, so here is what we came up with:

BEFORE the changes:

We had the counters redone and had one of Daniel's friends put up the bead board around the island. I am happy with the results, and it didn't cost much so Daniel is happy too!

We will catch up on other posts later. Oh, Oh, I must quickly add: Cambria can walk now!! It's really funny, and cute! I will post a video later.

Henrik's Words of Wisdom

2010-12-12T14:06:00.000-08:00

After wondering why some of our roustabout neighbors were yelling and punching each other in the face, we explained to Henrik that beer can sometimes lead to doing naughty things. It left a big impression.

TRANSCRIPT:

"Heavenly Father don't like us drink beer. No! That not right way! Naughty No Noes. Supposed drink juice and water and chocolate milk. Sorry me drink all chocolate milk all gone. Me don't mean to."

Potty Training

2010-11-30T10:58:00.000-08:00

So Henrik has been 95% potty trained since August. He goes by himself all the time, He never goes in his pants during the day, and most the time he stays dry at night too. We have been very proud of him. He has been doing really well this whole year. Even before August he was doing really well. It's been a HUGE blessing.

HOWEVER...

This weekend we put him in pull-ups a lot because of traveling which set him back a bit. So I have decided we need to take the next leap of faith, as a parent, and go Pull-Up FREE. Last time we made a leap was in August. That is when we started doing no Pull-Ups during the day. He could only wear big kid underwear. I really think that his potty progression could have been VERY fast if I hadn't of been too chicken to take the necessary steps at a faster pace. In other words, it's me holding him back, not him (though taking our sweet time has made it a lot less stressful). I just don't look forward to cleaning up after accidents so I have had no desire to really move to the next step UNTIL now.

I will be brave and show my faith is Henrik's abilities.

WISH ME LUCK!

2010-05-03T13:48:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wondered what Mormons believe but are too afraid to ask? Well then I have a website for you! The link below is a website you can go to and just chat on-line with a missionary from The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-Day Saints (the real name of the Mormon Church).

This way you can ask whatever you want and not be embarrassed, or feel awkward. So give it a try.

If you are already a LDS (Latter-day Saint) member share this with friends! Post it on your blog, facebook, or simply e-mail it to a friend.

Kitchen cart we purchased for $35 and painted black. It works great so no one runs into the stairs and to give us a drawer for our silverware.

Well that is a mini tour of our apartment! Hope you liked it!

Our little Thumbelina

2010-04-08T13:19:00.000-07:00

Yesterday after looking at Cambria's tiny thumbs I decided that I would call her Thumbelina (not always, just sometimes).

Many parents these days have small little Thumbelinas or in other words, preemie babies, that survive and live fulfilling healthy lives. I believe Cambria is one of these children. I do however worry more often about her than I did about Henrik as a baby. She is just so little and dainty and has a few problems typical to preemies, according to my research. Nothing really serious, so don't worry.

As wonderful and joyous as her birth has been, despite the stress of the NICU and other things, I worry a lot about having another child. Today, a friend gave me a link to this blog called "Preemie Babies 101". This blog is great. It has helped me see that I am not alone in my worries and that I can be pro-active about making my next pregnancy as successful as possible.

I do not plan on getting pregnant right away but this blog gives me ideas and knowledge about how to prepare for our next child and what to expect as Cambria grows. This is also great for those who know people with Preemies or that have just had them.

Here is the blog link http://www.preemiebabies101.com/ Go check it out!

Shhhhhh don't tell Daniel

2010-03-22T15:22:00.000-07:00

Shhhhhhhhhhhh don't tell Daniel....

that I got Henrik's hair cut today! I'm not sure what it is about Daniel, but he loves hair to be longish on men. He only gets his hair cut about every three months it seems. His thing right now is that he wants to look like Almanzo, from the show, LIttle House on the Prarie (see above). I am not sure what fuels this obsession but I still love him as silly as he seems.

Here are the cute pics of Henrik. He was acting sad because his Grandma and Grandpa Jorgensen just left. They were in on the whole scheme. I figure Daniel can't be upset because he just got his hair cut and Great Grandma and Grandpa McCormick are coming today soooooo I figured they deserve to see our child well groomed

Oh, just so you all know Daniel will find out in about 5 mins, so you don't have to keep this secret long : )
