Fall Craft

So my house seems to skip Halloween and Thanksgiving since my husband is one of those crazy Christmas light fanatics and starts putting them up normally end of September. Well today I was at Michaels and saw some pretty leaves for 99 cents so I bought a few bunches thinking I could do something nice in my house with them. Then i went to Joannes and saw a wreath for 3 dollars plus a 40% off coupon and I put them together to create this! Not really anything amazing but I am happy to have something fall hanging on my door, before the Christmas lights take over!

Walking....

So Katelyn finally decided to take off walking the other day. She would walk from person to person, but I guess she over did it cause now she only crawls. Well last night she was entertaining us. She has decided that she is big enough to push her stroller. So she put her toy in the seat of the stroller and off she went. When Boston shows me how to upload the video I will post that one and the one of her walking. She would push the stroller in circles then when it would run into things she would pull it away from what she was hitting and try to get around it. She also learned that if you step on the box in Grandma Bryce's sewing room you can reach all her cool M&M toys that have candy in them and if no one is watching and you can get it to the floor and figure out how the candy comes out. You can have all the M&M's you want until mom and dad figure out why you are being so good. I am so grateful for this little girl. She keeps me busy and always makes me laugh. All day yesterday she was making this ugly face to EVERYONE. A lady came up to me in the store and said your daughter is so cute and what does she do... her ugly face and I thought the lady was going to die laughing.

3 years to the day....

I must say normally this day comes and will almost be over before I remember what took place on this day. I can't beleive it has been three years since her death. At times I feel like it has been forever since I have been able to love on her, but lately it seems like she was just here. So much has happened since Azure has died. I got married and had a baby and it is hard to think she has not been here for any of it. Then I think of Eric and how she is missing out on so much. I understand that she is watching, but is it wrong for me to feel jealous that she is not here. That she is missing. That I can't call her when i just want to talk or joke around with her. it is ok for me to be angry that she left? That she is not coming back in this life. There are times I just want to scream and ask why. Does that feeling ever go away? I normally don't let these feelings surface. My poor husband will come in and I will be all emotional and just say I miss her. He doesn't understand he never knew her. He never had the chance to meet her. Sometimes I just wish the hurt and empitness will just go away. I just want her back and her to be here now. I don't want to have to wait to see her again.

I love you so much Azure and miss you more than words can express. I guess I will just have to learn some more patients and let this time past so I can be with you again.

Where has the time gone

I want to apologize in advance this will be a long post. There has been so much that has taken place here in the Bryce home. My job with Bank of America only lasted two months then they said they didn't need me anymore (it was a temp job) I was quite bummed, but know the Lord has a plan in all that happens. I must say I am glad I don't have to work nights currently. I missed Boston terrible and I really missed tucking Katelyn in at night. Now Jessica and I are starting a business (www.kuteandkrafty.com) and I love it. I love creating new things. It is something that makes me truly happy. I have found I LOVE to sew and have started making dresses and things for Katelyn. I am not very good at it, but would love to be as good as my mother someday. I actually got to go this week and spend three amazing days sewing with her. I can't wait to do it again. While we were there we helped get wood, well mostly Boston and Dad went we women sewed all but one day.
Katelyn also is now 10 months old and getting way too big. She LOVES baby dolls. When you hand it to her she gets a big smile then grabs it and starts talking to it. She also loves stairs. I was watching her start up them and I would say Katelyn and she would turn around giggle then go up another step. How can you get mad at that? She has such a fun personality and has already taken her first step. Now we are waiting for her to just take off running. She can stand on her own firmly, but will not walk around. She has walked a few steps from one shelf in our pantry to another, but now she will take a step look at us then get on her knees and crawl around. She likes our goats and will just sit and watch them outside the window. She also likes to be daddy's little helper. If he goes outside she is right behind him. She will crawl around the garage while Boston works. Boston says she is his broom and helps him sweep up the garage.
So besides starting a business, Katelyn growing up, and Boston FINALLY getting his goats we have all been doing great and trying to enjoy each other.

Our goats Bella is the black and brown one and Sugar cookie is the blond one (she is pregnant and due 12-29)

Katelyn in the cute tutu that Jessica made for her and matching bow! (she was watching dad using the leaf blower). I see this picture and imagine her thinking dad gets to have all the fun while mom has me stuck in this stupid tutu. She HATES me putting these things on her as you can tell by the next picture...

This is like torture to her.....

Katelyn and her new baby from Grandma Bigler (It is a tickle baby and laughs when you tickle her sides and feet.) The best part is Katelyn will giggle too when you are tickling the baby!
