What we've been up too.... PART 2

well.... Still not a whole lot.. I forgotten how boring apartment life is. I spent so many days complaining about all the work I had to do at the house all the time. Now I wish for something to prime or paint! But we have a lot of fun just being together! And I have friends here and thats something I know I may not have our next move. well not instant. Where ever that may be! But we are happy just to be here our last semster is quickly coming to an end with only 10 more weeks of school and one of those weeks we get off for spring break!
But apartment living has lots of benifits like.. PLENTY of TIME FOR:

kisses and snuggles:




horsin around!
AND There's always time for giggles ..(and unmatching outfits!)
FASHION SHOWS and play dough

journaling and naps.. (no i wasnt awake and happy of this picture being taken) and romantic moments interrupted by pure insanity. Nick was sweet and brought me flowers not even for valentines day.. But look in the background.. Yep someone cant be serious for more than 5 seconds!

What We've Been Up to.......

A whole lot of Nothing... =) But enjoy some pictures anyway!

Moving Out & Moving In

Saying good bye to grandparents on christmas.. We are sure going to miss them!



So we are finally feeling a little bit settled in our new abode. I just have imagined moving south I would be leaving the snow and cold of Colorado behind. I guess I was wrong because its been FREEZING HERE! Anyway.. we are alive and well.. We have managed to gather up things thanks to generous friends and neighbors! We moved out here with only what would fit into the civic and good will and salvation army have come in handy!


Ok just kidding.. this was how it looked for a week, but we have moved in our old couch and chair we left here. So its not as sparse, but i love the fireplace in this apartment! it even works! (gas burning)

This is Dallin's room.. I know we are bad parents!! lol! poor kid, but its a really big walk in closet! Plus he likes it dark and very quiet. so this is the best sleeping arrangement we could come up with. Nick just has to get his clothes out for school before bedtime!



the kitchen.. Tessa and Dallin having a bite to eat and getting in to Tessa toy box. His usual monkey business.

thats it for now.. but more to come later...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!


LOVE, THE BLAIR'S

SNIP SNIP!

So Dallin has been getting a little shaggy so I decided it was time for the first hair cut! I cut nicks hair all the time so i felt confident, it just meant my baby was growing up and part of me didnt want to cut off the soft peach fuzz baby hair! but it was also getting a little long and nick had been buggin me about..So i went ahead.. (Sorry you cant tell really how long it is by this picture but take my word for it.. I tried to leave the bangs long because hes got a pretty big forhead! =)



Anyway...
I am really really exited to move back.. I really cant wait to have my own place! even if its an apartment with NOTHING in it! I am also excited for christmas and that I actually may have a "white" one this year.. I am happy to say I am done christmas shopping and way under budget! Savers! I love that store! =) I love that tessa is still not old enough to care what she gets.. Just that its new (relatively speakin new to her) and its toys.. thats all that matters! I though have been tempted to cancel christma this year for tess. she's been particuallarly naughty.. Drama drama all the time.. crying fits, slaming doors, melt downs.. I think all the moving has caused an explosion of emotions in her.. I think she knows another big change is coming also. plus they both went to the dentist this week... (thats another story!) so.... we will see..

For a good cause...

I have a friend, who has a friend thats son needs brain surgery.. So she started this really cute blog selling homemade crafts! AND SHE IS DOING A FREE GIVE AWAY! Check it out for more info!

Gratitude...

Gratitude, thankfulness, or appreciation is a positive emotion or attitude in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received or will receive.


Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more.


WHO COULD WANT ANYTHING MORE THAN THESE CUTE FACES EVERY DAY TO REMIND ME WHAT THIS LIFE IS ALL ABOUT....
