Catching up!

the life of bows!

ok- it is that time again!
Malorie is big enough, i am able to get my creative juices going again. I tweeked some details about my boutique, and i think i have a great game plan this time around!
Practice makes perfect right?
I am going to be doing local craft fairs, party's & special orders.

well- i need YOUR help! i though this would be fun for everyone to put thier 2 cents in!

I need a new name for my boutique.
idea's i HAD: something to do with the 3 girls name? something with faithfull or God related name?? but also a "bow" name. something to let people know what you selling when they hear the name. "Faithfull Boutique Bows"??
my old name was Flower Fabulous Boutique
cute, but need something else...

ALSO- i was thinking of doing "lines" of bows- like each size is called a different line??
Malorie's Mini's (small size)
Madelyns Trendy toppers (large size)
Macie's Just right for School (medium)

(when i walk out the door for school- 9 times out of 10, i pick up a "medium" size bow for macie- i mean, these suckers MUST be monkeybar approved!

so- i was wondering what your thoughts were for names- name of boutique, and names for lines?
can't wait to hear your idea's!

Just hanging!

I hope you enjoyed the precious music in the back ground!
I thought as v-day is nearing, and i have these aw some pictures you have never seen of different things, i would share them, while telling you WHY i picked the songs...
these were some of my fave songs when i think of my girls. keep reading....

Kala is the first one. a Song by Kutless. "what faith CAN do". She is going through so many changes from little girl- to teenager- to now little lady. She is so unsure of so many things in her life, but on the flip side, her faith in Jesus is SO strong, that her battles are ALWAYS won with amazing decision making!! I mean she makes these amazing leaps of faith, and just TRUSTS that God is going to be there. And really, that is ALL she needs.

faith.

"perfect Love casts out ALL fear"

you know how, you wish you could have a song play in someones mind like, ALL DAY to constantly nag them about something? well, this is the song i would pick for her!
I'm so proud of the woman she is turning into. She is so much wiser than her age!

Miss Macie is the next song. Jonas Bro's "Lovebug"
Little miss Macie is changing A LOT right now. she is testing her character in every way possible! and looking for the limit of everything! i am so proud of her! she is so loving and cares so much it almost hurts her! she is so smart that she gets frustrated- looking for a more difficult answer. she is so much like her daddy it is adorable! She just needs to remember..with God, all things are possible. and to "not worry about anything, but pray about EVERYTHING"
This song i chose for her because it is a TAD old fashioned. and classical. Macie is very much her OWN person. And at the same time so sweet and Lov-bug-ish!

"love never fails"
my husband! Throughout my house i have this scripture scattered everywhere, and when this song came out- it sorta summed up everything. John is such a loving-amazing-strong-Honorable-honest-true-playful-silly-stable-respectful-provider-traditional.. man. I'm so thankful God had us Collide into each others lives. Once he and i embraced Gods plan. And accepted that God had a perfect plan for our marriage, maybey not perfect for anyone else, but perfect for US. well, instead of fight it and fight each other mentally, battling, and instead of staying stubborn, we have fallen in love with each other so much it hurts me sometimes. To think God loves me THIS much to have sent me such a man.

I'm still hard headed. So is John, BUT, we even each other out so equally.

i respect him. i love him.

and i am blessed beyond words.


switchfoot-"always"
then our maddie... she is 2! and getting into so much trouble! Madelyn is my little free spirit. she reminds me of myself so much! i just can't wait to teach her more things sooner rather than later! i think i will be giving her 5th, and 6th chances ALL through life........ This song reminds me of what is to come i guess...hee hee.

"lullaby"
malorie is so innocent right now! like an angel sent down to purely bless us 100% of the day... =)

then there is me. i really am in love with jj heller right now!her words just seem to always fit perfect for my life at the moment! I am so lucky to have a loving supportive mom, and a loving supportive mother in law. All of the women i am surounded with have made me who i am now! And i have the best friends in the world! i hope you stay long enough to hear all the songs... love you all!

thanks for watching!

Malorie giggling soo sweet!

SWEETEST SOUNDS EVER!

Daily Fashion Show!

OK..... My kids look SOOO dang cute lately! I mean, they are always precious but lately....well.....

Every day is like watching a fashion show with Malorie and Madelyn!

why??????? you might ask.... is it such a big deal? well, my amazing cousin April has been sending me stuff her daughter is Done with, and some of it fits madelyn NOW, and Malorie NOW, and the rest will fit Malorie LATER! she is SOOO super sweet for doing that! I am a HUGE shopper for my girly's, I LOVE to buy clothes for them! I am super LUCKY i have the outlet mall and the fresno malls!! But even though she is a WHOLE country away, (South Carolina) she has her OWN "jack-pot" stores she visits and ALWAYS gets the most ADORABLE things!

Of course, Macie is ALSO excited because she LOVES/ADORES Lunden. Lunden is Aprils older daughter, she is 15.... so you can all do the guess work here... Macie is 7-going-on-15.. and as soon as she heard Lunden likes Hollister and abercrombie & fitch, and that Aprils next box will have a shirt or 2 in there for HER too, She was THRILLED, and she BEGGED me to go online and look up HER SIZE at those websites! And today i used up some of my GYMBUCKS at Gymboree for her! Macie will get to join in on the fashionable catwalk around here too!!

LOLOLOL..

i LOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOVE having GIRLS!

OH and of COURSE ive been making MATCHING bows DAILY! lololol

Ohh La La!

Madelyn is SUCH a little "Girly Girl!"

She totally LOVES make-up, lip gloss, chap stick, nailpolish, and bows.... etc.. etc...

She is ALWAYS wanting my paint her nails, she will use food to "pretend paint" while she is in her high chair!!! (like a chicken nugget with bbq sauce... and she "Paints" the sauce on her nails!

Anytime Macie has any chapstick she has to hide it from her! Or she will throw a FIT! lol

and she is constantly telling me to add bows, hairbows, clips, flowes.. etc.! She will bring me a random bow and ask me to put it in her hair!!!

so here are a few shots of her playing with grandma's lipgloss!

And of course the picture of her MAD because we took it away!

Malorie is 3 Months Old!

Awww... our sweet newborn is now a Big 3 month old! She is been so darn GOOD!

Like seriously! she only fusses when she is hungry. She falls asleep anywhere! She drools like crazy now! Cute right?! she chews on her chubby fists alot! and she is just a very happy easy going baby!

well, these are some shots i got of her.

We Love you Malorie!

Hello V-Day!

I know i sound insane when i say... "I couldn't WAIT to decorate for V-day!" I mean we JUST had Christmas stuff ALL-OVER!

BUT....

I have a cousin who is SOOO great at motivating me to be the best mommy and wife ever! and usually she doesn't even realize she is doing it! I am just at a point in my life now where i am remembering that my FAMILY & HOME come first. and that it is MY domain! i know it sounds a little silly, and a tad wierd. but seriously, my husband is out working ALL day, and Macie is at school ALL day, when they come home they need a home they WANT to come to. they need a SAFE-HAVEN filled and built with love and caring... NOT dreading the noise and the routine. A VERY good friend of mine reminded me of the beging part of some very basic things that i had forgotten all about when our kids started school together... I was complaining about this and that, and she "busted out the basics" that i had NOT been doing.

I have had a whole lot of "self improving" going on with me lately. And my cousins re-assurance and guidence was needed. the thing is our HEAVENLY FATHER is the CENTER of thier life as well, so i know any advice i get is always with a decision BASED of good values! and it was needed! my priorities get a tad obsesive sometimes... like for example... i obsess over a clean floor and table, but im a harsh crazy person to get it this way. Lately Ive been feeling the guilt over the "busy mom syndrome"... its like an image i have in my head of a mom with crazy hair, stained clothes, dishrag in one hand, broom in another, cup of COLD coffee on counter, kids are clean and happy, there are freshly baked muffins or pastry of some sort on the counter, but no one wants to be around her! And she yells.."don't you all REALIZE i do this BECAUSE i love you SO MUCH?!?" ...

umm.. hello crazy lady..... no, they can't tell... cause your a bit insane.... LOL

thats me!

Anyway, ONE thing i am doing is making sure things are DIFFERENT from time to time. and it might be wierd, but i think if things are changed up here & there, it makes it fun for kids and fun for us too! ive been really trying to bake and cook more "home cooked" meals, like if it takes a couple hours to make OH WELL- i have to stop being intimidated by "time stealers". (if it benefits my family, saves money, and makes everyone happy and NOT stressed.. um DUH)

So if we REALLY think about it, every month has some sort of holiday or seasonal change! so i am trying out a new look on things and trying to be more FESTIVE. it might be something SMALL and trinket sized, but it will keep my kids saying.. OH- how cute MOM!- I think a part of me LIVES for pleasing my family. and i had to STOP and realize i need to do it with a heart for God. and in a way that Glorifies God. not be GRUDGINGLY (is that a word?) doing these tasks. but embracing a new attitude WHILE doing them. I LOVE LOVE LOVE when Macie wakes up in the morning and gets all Giggly over my decorations i set out that night! I hope that making these special TWEEKS to our "mundane" day-to-day life will help her, and everyone else, have a fun way of looking at nurturing your family.! (see, my cousin has ALWAYS done this, i am JUST NOW figuring life out!)

John was even a bit bummed when christmas decor came down. He said.. "our house felt so "HOME-E", " I am hopeing this was what the dr. ordered for him as well! i mean, he goes to work everyday to PAY for this house, I want him to be HAPPY when he drags in the door!

So for starters.. Valentines day!

first & foremost:

I called my cousin to pick her brain!

Then i set off to Wal-mart, Target and JoAnns craft store.... I made my own wreath, i hung decorations, and spurts of "love" through out!

EVERYONE was happy i did this, john was impressed with my wreath and said......

"yes hunny, our house NOW looks "festive".... I think thats the first time ive ever said "FESTIVE"...." and we both started laughing!

I love it that he goes along with all my crazy ideas'! he lets me get them out of my system, and some work, and others don't, but you NEVER know what parts your kids remember! i want mine to have LOTS to choose from!

Here are some pictures!

At Jo anns, i picked up some .50 cent scraps of fabric and turned them into placemats!

You can see the girls playing in the back yard all bundled up!

At the end of the bar you can see Macie's New "fish bowl"... we love our .28 cent gold fish!

the CUTEST canvas w/ holder i saw at Target!!!

Like i said, it isn't ALOT, but it adds a touch of the holiday!

My wreath! awwww.....

my door way outside.....

my door inside!

Well, thats all this momma's got to talk about right now! Hope you all leave a comment!

love you!

Merry Christmas & Happy new Year!

We Had a fabulous christmas! we spent time with family, have vacation from school! John had a week off, it was really awsome! We didn't do anything out of town, we just stayed home, and it was perfect!

Our New Years Eve was so mellow! We always stay home and hang with family! it is prefect for our lifestyle! John and i discovered a Domino's game called "Mexican Train"! OH MY GOSH! we had so much fun playing this! John is SOOOOO competitive and so am I, so we were really enjoying making each other crazy!! We played this with his mom and Chris, and also my mom came over and we played! Well, i hope the new year has brought health and happiness to you! i am hopeing for a PREGNANT FREE year myself! lol... i just NOW feel like i can enjoy our new house!

xoxo- The Movsesian Family!

Macie Turns 7!!!!

Here are some shots of my dolly!

Birthday Party

OH my gosh- we are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tired. (and i didn't even do a alot of the work!) I have the BEST friends and family EVER! everyone helped days before, as well as went to pick up the food and cake, cleaned up, put food away, etc... we are SO BLESSED. I have to say though, this is probly the first Party/birthday event we have put on that john has helped with the most! i don't think the poor guy realized how much was involved. =)
The night before the party, i REALLY thought i was going into labor. the pain was pretty intense, and i decided if it lasted another 45 minutes, i was going to call the dr and go in to hospital. At this point, the most important thing is to MAKE SURE I DON"T DIALATE. and that is what contractions do, Help you dialate. So i can go into "pre-term labor" ALL day long, and it will be FINE, but ONCE i get TOO dialated they have to deliver me, to prevent infection to the baby. so lets ALL PRAY that i am healthy, and that dialating doesn't occur untill the baby is healthy enough to be here for good!

sooo, the birthday party was SO MUCH FUN! i MUST say, macie and madelyn are BOTH at an age where they are just AWSOME to be around! And the most hilarious things pop out of thier mouth!! lol i think the highlight of the day was watching macie open her gifts. Keep in mind she had a whole audience of KIDS "egging" her on. But every time she opened a card and it had money, she would LITTERALLY FLIP OUT! it got to be SOO funny, that i was having a hard time taking pictures! Madelyn was Super cute when she opened one of the gifts my parents got her, and she had this "OH WOW" face, and it was ALL ABOUT SHOWING PAPA!!! she hopped up, waddled over to where he was, and it was.."papa, look!"..."papa, see!" it was like- "melt your heart cute"!
THEN, Madelyn was up on one of our friends' laps, she happens to be a police officer, and they were doing this "stare down" ...(madelyn gets this "look" and will Stare people down, and it is HILARIOUS! Last time they did this Our friend WON! at the time, i asked her if she interrogated people, etc.. she said, yes, and that madelyn was more hard core than most "bad guys" HEE HEE HEE) well, this time, madelyn was sooo tired from NO NAP (although she was SOOO good, it was like God just prepared her little body for the party to give us all a break)and she was starrring so hard, that she was eventually leaning to one side, almost asleep, but SO NOT ABOUT TO GIVE UP! and poor Coreena, she LOST, she HAD to blink!!!! It was SO FUNNY, and everyone was watching AND LAUGHING AND IT still DIDN'T TAKE MADDIES ATTENTION AWAY! my grandma got a picture, but i didn't- im so bummed!
honestly we had such a great time! The kids had a bounce house- Gods greatest invention for child entertainment! we got LOTS of yummy food, a delicious cake! and ALL of my family and johns family came, as well as a few good friends!

pictures info:
macie with her cousins and friends,
the girls with the cake
opening presents- macie's hilarious faces with the "money"
madelyn telling papa to "LOOK"
madelyn opening hers- TOO CUTE- we kept telling.."what is it maddie? open it!..What's in there?" THEN out of frustration she puts her arms up and in a cute high pitched voice says- "I DON"T KNOW!" sooo adorable!

New Homes....

Are a pain in the neck!

you know, while we were house hunting about a year ago, several people told us to get a house a couple years old, so all the "kinks" were worked out already..... i STILL think we choose the right thing by buying NEW. BUT........ i am sooooooooooooooooo tired of all this stuff we have to go through! It seems like every couple weeks there is a painter, a tile guy, a dry wall guy, a stucco guy, etc..etc.... and i can RARELY plan anything around these people! Although, i learned early on, to NOT let them plan MY day. so any whoooooo.... we are having to get all new carpet and all new padding through out our entire house. the padding is deffective, so when you walk on it, it feels like you are walking on rocks, like the size of a quarter. And the carpet is discolored in 3 more spots. (we found the same thing with our very first walk through. ) so, WHAT does this mean for ME and john????
oh easy- they have to empty our entire house, lay the carpet, and put everything back in our house in ONE day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like seriously, moving in and out in ONE day!..... 33 weeks prego, John working an hour away, macie in school, and madelyn being a busy body!.

like seriously??? really??

they are wanting to do this all next week. Well, that is all fine and dandy, the sooner the better, BUT, Macie and Madelyns Birthday party is going to be on the 6th, SOOOOOOOOO i will be stretched thin!

OH, and i forgot to mention, work starts on our back yard to finish the landscaping and irrigation of the flower beds, front and back monday..... why not add one more thing to the pot!

OH- and i have a dr. appt. next friday too..... LOLOLOLOLOL.....

i swear if someone in our house gets sick anytime soon, i am packing us all up and we are moving to Tahiti.



tata for now!

Our sunday...

ok, so we have been TRYING to get to church on a regular basis, but with Madelyn, it has been impossible. LOL
i try and make sure Macie gets to church when she can, either with me, or my mom. I mean, i love going too, but reality is, i have madelyn, and she does NOT like to stay in the nursery- EVEN though it is filled to the brim with toys.. LOL
so sunday, me and john dropped her in the nursery, hung out for a minute, and off we went.. they were ammusing her.. so we were ok to tell her we would be right back...
well....
about 15 minutes later, John went and checked in the window, she was crying.
So, I decided to go give my "mom opinion" on the situation, she flipped even more when she saw me, so i got her, and went to get john.
OF course, once we got her, she wanted the toys... UGH!
so, we went backkkkk to the nursery... john and i both went in there played with her, john stayed and blew bubbles with the wand for ALL the kids. And then, we both were able to get ou again. and we sat in the hallway to the sanctuary, and it took a whole 5 minutes, and they were comeing after us again! lololol.. we just decided to let macie stay and get her FULL lesson- so we took her out to the playground, and the 3 of us actually had a really good time. lol.... but it is like this every time! Although Sunday, i decided, she has GOT to get used to this- so even if we miss out on everything, Macie will get her lesson, and madelyn will eventually get used to just playing for a while!

And here come #3 shortly! haahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Picked Baby name!

"Malorie Anne"


awwwwwweee


spelling suggestions welcomed!

xoxoxoxo

"God controls me mom!!"

ok, so seriously...... Macie CRACKED me up yesterday! Her mind is SO young and innocent! i think that some of the things she says is sooo hilarious... get a kick out of this one....

as we were walking out to my truck after picking up a few things at Target, i was in a hurry because madelyn was in the middle of a nuclear meltdown and... heaven forbid the little lady ACTUALLY take a nap......

"macie, hurry up hunny, were in the middle of the parking lot... Pick up the pace"
"........walking slow........."
"MACIE, come ON, get a move on! hold my hand and lets hurry up"
"im going as FAST as i can mom! GOOOOOOOOSH!" (said with more spite and attitude than.... ME)
"excuse me? you don't talk to me like that. you better watch your mouth or your going to be grounded."
"UGH! im ALWAYS in trouble!"
"you are not ALWAYS in trouble!"
(at this point i have blocked out madelyn, and now, im just getting frustrated with ARGUING with her!)
...she is pausing in her back talk......Im kinda waiting......

"God controls me mom!! He controls everyone! so if God controls me, how can I be in trouble???!!!"
(she said VERY frustrated, and confused, and just MAD at getting in trouble)
i stopped, laughed at the situation, and looked at her... "hunny, i know God is in control of your life, but YOU still CHOOSE how you talk to mommy, and when you talk disrespectfull, your going to get in trouble. Its ok, lets just get in the truck...=) " and i hugged her of course!

and after that, i layed off her, because apparently her big mind is working overtime to understand life! it sounds precious to me! and since that conversation, I try and GENTLY remind her when she CHOOSES to snap at me or get an Attitude with me, that it is HER choice..... lol

my little love bug!

i love you macie!

Well.. Its been a while!

Hey everyone! it has been a TAD long since i posted something! OOOOPS!

we are all happy and healthy! John is getting ready to leave for 3 weeks again... BUMMER... (school for his job)

Macie is my little 2nd grader-to-be! and BOY oh BOY does she have the attitude of a 15 year old! but seriously- one of the things i love best about summer is getting her BACK on track with her attitude and her manners, etc.... She is currently LOVVVVV-ING Vacation bible school. WHOO HOOO, i swear i never thought she would get to go, the church we go to has slowly stopped offering it, and the age limit kept getting higher and higher, so she was always a year too young... well, this year i went ahead and put her in with her cousins (elisabeths girlies) up in kingsburg. she is SOOO happy she gets to go!

Madelyn is having fun this summer playing in the pool, chillin' with the "do-do" (dog-daisy), and eating cheese. I am not a super huge fan of "kool-aid" but macie has discovered the value of money, and is OBSESSED with saving it. so the fact that you can get a whopping 5 packs for like, 4 quarters is like MIND BLOWING to her! hee hee hee so both girls are having fun with thier summer treats. we moms do what we can to keep our munchkins happy! She has decided at a little over 20 months old now, that naps do not interest her! HA! so mommy is flippin' tired, and our schedule is in the midst of a major adjustment!

I am healthy and preggo. don't reall feel preggo yet. the baby moves all the time, i feel like it is the calm before the storm! when i was preggo with maddie, i was already contracting painfully several times a day (it strarted on fathers day) but this one is different. i feel perfect! lol.... it is SOOOOO too good to be true! lol baby names... none yet... lol

well- hope you are all doing good! love you all- Annie
