Everyday Life

Well, It has been awhile since I have posted on anything about my life. So, here we go.
Matthew has been going into daycare a couple days a week now and has gotten so much better with his speech. He has been saying a lot more and has gotten a little personality on him too. His face expressions lately will make you smile and laugh for hours. He is such a joy to have. Even though; the little booger wants to explore and not listen to anything you say. The only thing that seems to work is Time outs spanken don't do anything for this child. Lol He has been trying to potty on the the potty, he was at daycare on Tuesday and he had pottied twice on the potty, but when he comes home he doesn't want to do it. All we can do it try. We are not pushing it on him or anything. He thinks its great to be a big boy. He is also very much into Cars, especially the cars movie and etc. He loves train, Thomas is his favorite. Planes and regular cars and trucks too.

The hubby is loving his new job now. I have now clue on what he is doing but he loves it I guess. He has some job interviews coming up for Government work, in either Charlottesville VA, or Norfolk Va, I would love to move to Norfolk but I really have a liking where I am today. He is looking into all his hunting and fishing here. He has a lot more time now that he works 40 hours and they kick him out when he has 40 hours too. Since we don't have too many friends we really have spent a lot of time together as a family and it really has made our marriage a lot closer and better too. He still wants to deploy though which I can't blame him that is all he has know being in the Marine Corps.

Things with me has gotten a lot better and boy do I mean a lot better. I was so depressed when I got here it wasn't even funny. I started Matthew in swim lessons and have met a friend her name is Cheryl and her daughter Kaitlyn. They play so well together. I have joined a scrap-booking group up in Bowie, MD and the gals up there are so great. I am really blessed to have them apart of my life. I also join a stampin up group too with a few of the ladies from the scrapbook group too. Its great to see them at least twice a month. I also found a really cool blog site, thanks to Heather Palmer. I will be posting my work that I have wanted to build on here soon, I am still a work in progress. Its call Knock of wood. I will have pictures of that soon too. Also, I even started up this blog to help keep me busy too. I have been working a lot this month too. I am currently in the process of getting hired on as a contractor (examiner) with to other companies. It has been a slow process but its working for us right now. We have the entire Deich family up for my birthday weekend (which is Memorial day weekend) to visit. Us girls and kids will be going to D.C and the guys are going Deep sea fishing. It should be a great time. I know I can't wait.

I hope to have more of a better up date soon, its kind of been just us lately keep checking back for more crafts that I made or even find out what we have been up too.

Matthew's discovery of Dandelions!

Since growing up in Arizona, we never had these kind of weeds, especially since we lived in the desert. Matthew started picking up this weeds and Daddy taught him what he needed to do with it. So now the thing we have to really teach him is he has to put it closer to his mouth and not eating it, and blowing the dandelion off his stem. He likes to eat them then he go yuck and starts wiping his tongue off with his hands. Oh, the joys of having a adventurous little boy.

Leah's quilt part 2

As you can finally see I have found my power cord, I have been having a lot of fun making this quilt for my niece. I didn't realize how big it was until I started making it.

This the first row that I have put together last night. It was a little hard since you have to make sure you have the right one the right way. It would have made it a little easier if my wonderful husband didn't take my stitch remover try to use it as a screwdriver to turn down the water heater.

This what each square looks like. I am really happy with the way it is turning out. I can't wait to get back to working on it. Keep checking back for more !

The design I am using it from My sister and me designs. I really like how easy the patterns are too.

Stampin' Up! club 1

This is what we made in my Stampin' Up! Club today. The mugs make awesome Christmas presents using stick vinyal. Then we made a mothers day card using two kinds of ribbon and one of the punches then used a corner rounder for the flower petals. It was great getting together with the the ladies today. It was nice having an adult conversations but yet being around someone with a great sense of humor too.

Thanks ladies I really needed to laugh and have a great time today.

Leah's quilt part 1

I have the fabric cut and ready to go. I go and get my sewing machine out of the box and well we have an issue we have no power cord for it. Sorry folks no pictures of the quilt for awhile. I have another power cord on order just need to wait until it gets here so I can really get down to business This is crazy that it really makes me upset. Leah will be here before I get it together, get the other things to her before the box finally gets mail off. I just hope that with all the cleaning of getting rid of boxes 2 rooms at a time just might help and that I will come across it. More to come soon.
