Wrestling and Hunger Games

Well its already January 18, 2013....how is it that time can go by so fast? I feel like I blink and another week has gone by. I just want to hold on to the sweet moments and cherish them! It seems like life has other plans though! We get so busy with school, work, sports, chores (although it seems nothing ever gets done) that we forget to slow done and breath!!! So this is my breathing moment while I look back at the last few weeks.

Wrestling is in full swing, so that takes up a whole day every weekend....that is where a lot of our time is spent! Caymus started basketball last week and has his first game this Saturday. He is so excited and is LOVING playing!
We have taken some time to do some fun stuff too. Lucy had gotten a kindle for her birthday and it was pre loaded with the Hunger Games series. So she dove right in and pulled her friend C into it too. They loved reading it together and could not wait to watch the movie!!! So being the AWESOME moms we are, we had a movie date! Popcorn, coffee, cozys and all! OhMyGosh watching the girls watch the movie was a priceless moment and I am so glad H and I got to share it with them! Now we all cannot wait until the next movie comes out!!!
The girls and their Katniss Braids! All ready to watch Hunger Games!
We had a huge tournament on a Sunday a few weeks ago. This one is always HUGE and a VERY long day....We did have good seats and a great cheering section. That helped pass the time.....
Me and my girl in our signature tournament photo!

They had all the kids come down for a photo...only about 800 of them!
That same weekend, we headed down to Corvallis for an OSU vs Boise St Wrestling meet. It was the kids first time watching a collage meet and it was cool! We took our friends along also, the more the merrier!!! We had a great time followed up with some yummy pizza and laughs! So thankful for such great friends !! (B Family!)

Baby Claire! We have some great kitties!
Other than the usual daily routine, work, school, homework, practice, workouts, knitting, reading, there is not to much else to report! We are all healthy, happy, and living every single day!!!

Harvest Threads

For years I have been knitting and quilting, making gifts and little things for around the house.....For years I have dreamed of it becoming something. At one point I had a business licence and web page and all that, nothing ever really came of it.....Then one day I made a headband......The next thing you know my Facebook was blowing up with orders and my dreams started coming true!!! I am feeling very fortunate and blessed right now and my fingers are knitting away!
Currently, since the beginning of December, I have made and sold 27 separate items. So, Harvest Threads is in full swing!!!!!
