It's finally coming!!!!

Yes!!!! The new U2 album will be here shortly (March 3) - but you can now listen to the first single online. While I'm not a super fan of the song, I am really excited for some new U2 music, and I'm especially excited for a new tour (hopefully with a stop in Salt Lake)!

If you're interested, you can listen to the song here

Here are some more pictures to sum up what has been going on around here for the last little while.

I know that Christmas is long gone, but Sam's face is so funny in this picture.

Here's Isaac and our cute neighbor, Taylor, out sledding in the back yard.

Have you ever seen that movie "A Christmas Story" where the kid is so bundled up in his snow clothes that when he falls down he can't get back up? Well, that's Sam, except this picture is pre-Christmas, before he had any mittens to keep his hands warm. Even though he can hardly move in his snow clothes, he loves to play outside!We went to the Living Planet Aquarium and this is Isaac and his friend, Payton, driving the boat. Isn't Isaac so handsome!!!

Here's all the boys loving the fish tank.

This is my new favorite picture of the boys! They are getting to be best friends...and best enemies, but they are so much fun and I love being their mom!

2 Supermen!

So this picture sums up some of why I have been absent from my blog for so long. I tried to do a lot of home-made christmas gifts this year. It was fun, but it was just as stressful if not more stressful than shopping. I spent a lot of time working on gifts, and even more time feeling guilty because I knew I should be working on them.

Long story short...here are the boys in their superman capes I made them. I got the design from some capes that my mom had made for her kids 30 years ago. It is fun because they are a little bit of a nostalgic item for me, because I had a pink one just like these growing up. I even personalized them for the boys. If you look hard you can see the "I" on Isaac's belt.

Here's a video of Isaac flying, complete with sound effects.

And for those of you who have known me in the past....yes...I do crafts and sew now. It just goes to show...never say never!
