Crafting Crazies

So since finding out we are having a little girl I have decided that there are about a million things I need to do to be prepared.  My amazing mom crochets beautiful blankets so I thought why don't I try that. I have tried many times to pick up the art of crocheting but I never stick with it. This time though I am really working at it as I know I can make nice blankets and it is cheaper then going out and buying a bunch I don't really like. The thing about this crocheting business though is that I am not overly great at it. I want these blankets to turn out as beautiful as the ones my mom makes, but I am no where close to as good as she is. It is rather frustrating to me and it is driving me a little bonkers. Like the say though "practice makes perfect." It has been a nice hobby to pick up though. It is relaxing to me now so I do plan to stick with this. I hope to one day be able to teach my daughter how to crochet. I think it is great to pass those sort of things along to your children. I want to get a lot more crafty so I can make a lot of things and save money that way, but the amount of time that will take kind of stresses me out. Guess we will see what happens in the future. For now I won't add anything to my list of craft projects aside from crocheting blankets for all my kiddos :-)  One of these days I will have a camera I can download pictures from so I can add cute pictures to my blog!

Coming Soon...

Iradessa Ana Po'uha! We found out today that we are having a girl. I am super excited! I love my boys beyond belief, but it will be super nice to have a little girl :o) Today was a great day to find out, because 6 years ago today we found out that we were going to have a baby (Aiden). Then to find out the gender of the last baby we are having is pretty special I think. I know it probably will drive a lot of people crazy that we did not say anything to anyone sooner, but we felt like keeping this to ourselves for awhile especially since I thought Owen was our last. Looks like Heavenly Father had a different plan. It took me some time to be completely excited about being pregnant, because I was so sure I was done. Now I feel beyond lucky and blessed to have the opportunity to have another child to bless our home :)
