[ it's been a while... ]

I've been feeling so out of the loop lately with blogging because we just moved into a house that we're renting and our Internet hasn't been very reliable lately. Although I think we've finally worked out all the kinks! I'll be posting pictures really soon. We've had so much going on the last few weeks, for starters... John was laid of from his job with Quadrant Homes last Thursday, but was fortunate to be offered a job this Monday and started on Thursday with Charter Construction. We feel so very blessed to have been watched over and taken care of and that it happened so quickly. Angie has been talking more and more sentences by the day and has learned quite a few songs from beginning to end! I'll have to catch that on video soon too. I've been busy learning how to sew, taking senior pictures for my sister and making new friends in our new ward. I also have been taking pictures for my Mom's friend Chris who is an unbelievable seamstress and is just getting her business started on Etsy. Here is where you can check out her super cute items and the pictures I took. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6061565 Angie obviously was our model and I think the pictures turned out great. She'll be adding more items a little bit at a time, so keep checking up on her shop, and as always let me know what you think. I've gotta get to bed, but I promise to post pictures ASAP!

[ shake those hips! ]

We were finally able to get Angie's little hip shake on camera! She is so funny when she dances! Anytime she hears some good music she starts to dance! I realized halfway through the video that I was dancing too, I then stopped so that the camera wouldn't shake so much! Sorry about that! We were watching "Blue Man Group" and she dedided to break out the moves!

[ coloring, singing and more! ]

Angie is such a girl already because she can multi-task! In this video she does two things that she loves the most... coloring and singing! We might have an artist on our hands! Here are some other pictures of what she's been up to lately.

[ more paintings ]

Here are two more paintings Brad finished recently... the first is obviously Christ and the second John Wayne. Brad is truly amazing, extremely talented! I wish I were more like him! One of these days I'll have him make something for me... whenever we get settled into our own place. Until then I'll just have to dream!
