yeah yeah…

Yeah I know it’s been awhile….what, 5 months or so? Well I know it’s no excuse but live is just busy! I won’t go into details and bore you on what the last 5 month have been filled with.
Life is great for us Lemmons. We moved into a bigger house which was needed! Dylan and Katelyn both have their own rooms finally! We also have a dining room! We love to sit down for dinner, let Kate pray for us, and then enjoy a meal as a family. Our new house is also close to my parents so it’s been fun having them stop over for a quick visit or dinner.
Kate started preschool this past year and is loving it. She comes home sharing something new every week! She is also in gymnastics and loves that. Her two favorite teachers are Hannah and Shannon.
Dylan has recently learned how to walk, at 15 months (just like Katelyn did). Once he learned how to walk all he does is follow Katelyn around just wanting to be near and around her. He also loves to climb on everything and anything he can. As he is becoming more active I’m beginning to see the differences between boys and girls!
Conor and I are about to celebrate our 8 year wedding anniversary. I can’t believe it’s almost been 8 years! It has seriously flown by and I can’t wait to see what is in store for us in the coming years.
I’m still enjoying digital scrapbooking. I’ve updated the sidebar with my Creative Teams. I’m on 7, the most I’ve ever been on and I love it!! I’m CT’ing for all the designers that I LOVE!
Here are a few recent favorite pages:

Well I think I’ll end there! I hope to keep up my blog this time. I’ll pretty much be posting family stuff and updates as well as digital scrapbooking layouts!
Until next time!

It's time...

to start this up again huh?

I've been thinking a lot lately about starting up my personal blog again. I'm not really sure what I'm going to blog about so it may be an adventure for all of us!

Let's start out with a kid update.

Kate is almost 3 years old! I can't believe my baby girl will be 3 next month. I'm not really sure where these past few years have gone but I know they have been some of the best ever!! Kate goes to Teacher Lauri's house 2 times a week and plays with her friends. She loves it there and I'm sure it's going to be difficult come September when she starts Preschool. Kate will be starting gymnastics soon, well as soon as I sign her up which I hope will be next week! She'll be doing that 2 days a week too and come September she'll be doing their ABC 123 program too! I can't wait to get her in more of a weekly routine this fall. I know she'll love it-that's her personality.



Dylan is 6 months and such a little joy. He is certainly a mamma's boy! He also loves to sit up, play with toys, roll over to his tummy and cry and enjoys playing with his big sister. At his last appointment he weighted 18 lbs 3 oz, 26.5 in long, and his head was 45.5 cm in diameter. His sleeping is....well.....getting better. He was waking up several times at night but once he turned 6 months I decided that just had to stop! So we brought Kate's bed into our room and put Dylan to bed in his crib in their room. When he wakes up at night we let him cry it out until he falls back to sleep. The first time he cried for 45 minutes, now he cries for maybe 15 minutes. Amazingly, for the most part I don't even hear it. And if I do I can easily fall back to sleep.



Conor and I are doing great too! I'm still working at the church part time. I am also leading a Beth Moore bible study on Saturday nights. The bible study just started this past Saturday and I think it's going to be AMAZING!! Conor is still working for Steve. He really enjoys his job over there and will hopefully find us a good house to buy! *fingers crossed on that one*

Well with that I'm going to wrap this up. I'll leave you with one of my answers from my bible study homework from this past week:

"Be who you are and not who the world tells you you have to be".

Marchstache is Over!!!

YAY YAY YAY!!! Now I have to wait out the next 2 months for Conor's facial hair to grow back. As a reminder, here is Conor before....



And here is Conor now....


Doesn't he look younger???!!!
Grow Grow Grow!!! lol

Pictures of the Stache Men....



Yeah, they're weird! lol

Love ya guys!!! :)

Marchstache

So apparently, unbeknownst to me (and everyone else in the world), it's Marchstash month. Hmm....can you guess what that means??!!! lol Yup, Conor has a mustache. Yuck!!!

So the guys next door decided that March was going to be Marchstash. All the guys have been growing a mustache since the beginning of March. Well, as most of you know Conor has more than a mustache. So instead he decided to work his way backwards to the mustache. Since our anniversary was this month I told him he COULD NOT do anything to his facial hair until after the 15th. Well sure enough after our anniversary he started working towards just a mustache. Here's the progression pictures.

Ugh, I can't wait for March to be OVER!!

5 Years Today...

was one of the best days of my life. Conor and I got married. It was the most amazing day and I will never forget it.
So much has happened in these past 5 years. Conor graduated Humboldt State University; I traveled to London & Nigeria, Africa; Conor and I went to Cleveland and visited the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame; we had Katelyn; we've moved 4 times; Conor got rid of the Nova and got the truck; my grandma passed away; and Michael Jackson is MY creapy! lol (that's for you Adam!)

So here's a page I scrapped today. It's one of my favorites. :)

Man, I was productive today!!

I had a very productive day today. I scrapbooked 6 pages!!!! I don't want them clogging up my blog so I made a slide show of them.

It was pretty easy to do so many pages since 5 of them were the same template. I still have about 15 more pages to make before Kate's 1st scrapbook will be complete.

Other than scrapbook I really didn't do much today. Kate and I stayed home from church because it was rainy and windy and I didn't want to leave the comfort of my house. Jennie made cookies today and I've already had 4 of them....how am I suppose to lose weight around here??? First was cupcakes and now it's cookies...what's next, fudge??!!!!

Kate is still working through her second tooth. She's been quite fussy today and wanting mommy. She still gets on all 4's, with mommy's help, but she does not know what to do from there. She has rocked a few times so we'll see!

Conor spent most of the day recording. He is in a band called Hey Eleanore. He plays bass and they are recording a new CD.

That's about it for today. Ohhh I must say that I watched the Oscars and I have no idea why "No Country for Old Men" won soooo many awards. I watched like 20 minutes of that movie and stopped because it was soooo boring.
