Improvements

These are just some of the improvements we have made around the house recently.  I bought new shower curtains and rugs for the first time in 7 years!  I won't post any before pictures because it's too embarassing!  Buying new curtains and rugs was just something that I always wanted to do, but never got around to it because other things always came first.  It's so nice!!  Last week, I got the itch to redo all of my living room wall art.  I took some new pics of the kids and used a different color scheme.  I really like it!!  Then, this past weekend, we went to Billings and picked up a new Plasma TV for the upstairs living room and a new treadmill!!  (That old mattress in the picture needs to go!!  The kids have been using it as a trampoline or a lounge pad while watching TV in the toy room.)  We are so excited that we have been able to spoil ourselves lately, since it doesn't happen very often!

Jaxon wanted me to take a picture of his cat and dog.  Then I took one of his books because of the way he arranged them himself.  That's pretty cute!!!

Babysitting!

These are some pictures I took during the first week of babysitting for my sister Autumn, while she takes a CNA class in Powell.  Her last day is March 18.  Autumn drops her kids off in the morning between 6:30 or 7:30am, I take Hailey and Zoey and my kids to school.  Autumn picks them all up between 3 and 4pm usually.  It hasn't been too bad.  Jax and McKayla get along pretty well and she doesn't fuss or cry too much.  The only part that's really hard, is trying to take a shower.  McKayla seems to have a little separation anxiety going on and so she cries when I leave the room, especially when I take a shower.  Sometimes when I'm trying to clean house or do laundry.
