Life Lately

I haven't posted anything in a little while and that isn't really like me so I thought I would let you all know what has been going on here with us. Not much has changed. Brett is still busy with school and I am still kept busy being a mom and wife. This winter season has not been good for us. We have had a lot of sickness and it is no fun. Mostly we have just had really bad colds (the girls mostly but Brett and I have had our turn being sick too), but just recently Oakley got RSV. It wasn't to horrible though. The doctor said he has seen lots worse but he went ahead and put her on some breathing treatments to help her get better. This first picture is her having a breathing treatment. I feel so bad for this little girl and how much she has been sick... she probably thinks that life stinks. She's a cute little thing and we are glad she is here with us though. (her eyes don't look great in this picture because she is in fact sick and doesn't feel very good)
Even though she has been sick a lot we can still find a smile in her.
Our little Avery has become quite jealous of Oakley the last few days because Oakley has needed so much attention, but she still is a great helper and big sister. We love Avery. She is always full of energy and can put a smile on your face.
When I have some spare time, which I thought I would have a lot more of since I am done with school but really it doesn't seem like I do because I have two little ones now, I like to make things or scrapbook. These are some things I have done lately... nothing to big but they are things I like doing.
I made this doll for Avery.
I made a cute wipes case... it seems like all the moms have one so I thought since I have 2 girls I needed a cute one too.
I got a great deal on printing pictures at a website online. So I printed 300 pictures and now have a lot of scrapbooking to do... 3 pictures down only 297 left
I also made this temple picture thing. It is actually just a scrapbook paper I found and modge podged onto a board. I like it.

We also found out we are going to be here in Rexburg until December for Brett to finish school. I am going to try to get on some substitute lists for the fall so I can work a couple days a week and still be able to be home with the girls some too. When we are done here in Rexburg Brett wants to try to find a job with a wellness company for a big corporation. One thing that we are all excited for in our house is summer time! I can not wait to go on walks with the girls, take them to play in the park, and take them swimming. I also know that Brett can not wait for the golf course to open here. I have feeling that he might be planning on going golfing quite a bit.
