M, N, O and P are for...

M is for Marlee.

My sweet 3 year old. She is very busy, super helpful-when she wants to be, and very kind. She does have a little spunk to her though, and likes to stomp all the way to her room when she doesn't get her way.

She is super excited to start playing soccer in June, and we love to go out and practice. She is also into any sports on TV because of her Daddy, and wants to play basket ball when she grows up. She also wants to go to UW when she is bigger. Our last trip through Laramie, we drove by the college and talked about how that's where Mommy went. She said "Maybe when I get bigger I can go there like you Mommy." I was loving it! :)

She is also a GREAT big sister! She loves Brekken so much, and loves to hold him, kiss him and love on him. She also talks to him often, and if he cries she tells him that he's okay, that Mommy will feed him soon, and that she loves him. It's so cute! :)



N is for Naptime!

Nap time some days is my saving grace. I don't really know what I will do when nap time is over for me. Marlee still takes a nap, and of course Brekken does too. This is my saving grace during the day. Sometimes I nap, but most of the time I watch a show that isn't appropriate for them to watch, or get online to blog. Lately, nap time hasn't been at the same time for both kids, so I haven't been online as much, or if I do it's on my kindle, and it's hard to type and nurse a baby at the same time...so I don't comment as often as I used to...or blog as often either.

When Marlee out grows naps, I will probably have her do a quiet time for 30 minutes to an hour each day, that she can play in her room, or somewhere quietly so I can still have some down time. What do you do during nap time???

O is for outside.

We love to camp. I love lakes (and the ocean, but I don't see it very often). I love to go walking, and sometimes dabble in running, and love to take the kids to the park. I like to hike, and just hang out outside.

We are very happy my in-laws let us use their camper in the summer. Now that they have re-introduced the wolves, and Grizzlies, there are too many in the mountains for us to tent camp any more. It's just not safe up there, which is a bummer. There have already been sitings of a Grizz and her 3 cubs near Jackson Hole which is kinda early for them, from my understanding. And the comments I read on FB had said that another Grizz and her cubs had been sited in December this winter. In September we saw a bear on the side of the road. I am not a bear expert, so I'm not a 100% sure it was a Grizz, but regardless it was crazy seeing one so close to the road. You can see the pic's here.

P is for playing.

I love to play and have fun. It's fun to play with my kids, as well as "grown up" playing...like snowmobiling, and wake boarding. Not that those are necessarily grown up things, but my kiddos aren't big enough for those things yet.

I like a lot of things outdoors (like I just said), but I also like to play with fabric, and sew. I like to be creative...painting (with Marlee..I don't have any fantastic pieces) and photography. I even went for a year of school for photography, and am hoping someday I can get another awesome camera-cause mine kinda sucks right now and I can get back into it. :)
