OUR FIRST HOME!!!!!!






Yep! We have been looking for months on end and thought our offers would never be accepted. But finally one was! It's fairly small, aboutg 1200 sq ft. But the floor plan is so open it doesn't seem that small. The yard is huge with a non working spa. We're going to see if we can fix it up.We also have great plans for the yard including fruit trees and a small garden. It was built in 2001 in a nice little neighborhood. It has 3 bed 2 bath and a blessed garage! STORAGE! We have some minor fixing to do in it, but we are beyond excited. We are so grateful and feel so blessed! We have been praying for this since we moved to Vegas. Oh yeah......... they left there grill! Party at the Ferrins!

These were taken at Christmas time in Utah! FREEZING!!!

NEW COUCHES!

Hurray for new furniture! I have been a major Craig's Lister lately. I sold my old table and chairs and both my old couches and then bought new couches and new table and chairs. I also bought this material and made my pillows and covered my chair. I love the material! I can't wait to paint my walls to match. It's amazing what a little pick me up will do.

And so the umberalla fettish(or should I say obsession) continues!



So, today at Target Isaac and I are looking at the toys and what does he find......? An umbrella ! And not just any umbrella, but an umbrella with a bird on the end! (Just like Mary Poppins, for those of you who were wondering.) Can I just say that he was in heaven! Now he carries both of them around everywhere! You gotta love 2 year olds!

Let the messy, orange baby phase begin!!!!!

I am just messing with a new look for my blog. So it might change from time to time.

Birthday/Valentines Day Flowers from my sweetheart! Arent' they beautiful?!!

Let's Go Fly A Kite!


A couple of weeks ago the only windy day came on a Sunday and so John helped Isaac fly his first kite. He loved it, but it was freezing!

Precious Moment!


I came in to the room to see this. It is moments like these that make it all worth it. If you could hear what was happening you would hear Isaac in his highest, sweetest voice saying " Hiiiiiieeee Easton Bubba! Do you want your binky? Yeah! Yeah!" And Easton just sits ther smiling and laughing!

Bloody Lip!

Isaac ran to the office at our apartment complex and biffed on his way back and slammed his face into the side walk! OUCH!

My Mohawk Boys!


Isaac took this one!

Sorry now new posts. I have been doing a lot of other things. One being changing my eating habits back to the old, pre- pregnant me. I have some new favorite healthy meals and snacks.

BREAKFAST:
Steel Cut Oats: They are the best oats for you and they are more crunchy like cracked wheat, not so mushy like regular oatmeal. After I cook it I put fruit ( berries, grapes, apples which I cook in with the oatmeal, it gives it such a good sweet apple flavor), nuts(any kind), and to sweeten it I use my new favorite way to sweeten: hazelnut Creamer. It only has 5 grams of sugar in 1 Tablespoon and only 45 calories. And it adds the yummiest flavor. And then I add milk of course. Something else I have read a lot about lately is coconut oil (raw and natural). It is a really good fat that aids in metabolism. So I add 1T of that and it also adds a really good flavor. Isaac and I eat this almost every morning.

Lunch:
I saute mushrooms and onions with a tiny bit of olive oil and some salt and pepper and then I put them on my sandwich. What ever kind or I eat it as a side with a yummy salad. So Good!!!!

Dinner:
I again saute onions and mushrooms with lots of veggies and chicken and then eat it with brown rice or I crack a couple of eggs in with it and then it's more filling.

Dessert:
Sugar Free fat free vanilla pudding.... I eat it warm with berries or nuts or semi sweet chocolate chips in it! So good! I also eat the chocolate kind with a little whipped cream and the pistachio or cream cheese kind!

I feel so good. I have such a testimony of healthy eating and what we put in our bodies. I eat tons of fruits and veggies and only whole grains and I have no more headaches and never feel nauseous and night which I used to have both of! I don't just eat to eat. I think about why I am eating and eat only because I am hungry. I have lost 8 lbs and 2 inches! Healthy food=happy life!

Dental School!!! Here we come baby!

John found out today that we have been accepted to UNLV Dental School starting next fall! We have been waiting for the day for 4 years! Exciting doesn't describe it! Let the hard work and long hours begin!

JUST SOME CUTE PICS!

Got Education?

I just went through and read my blog and I can't believe how many grammatical errors there are. You can tell I haven't taken any classes at any school for along time. And part of it could be that if I can find ten minutes to update my blog it is sure not going to be filled with getting everything spelled right!!!! :)

Just a cute pictuer of Easton. Can he get any cutter?

My friend Jourdan!!
We stopped at the Boynton's house on our way home from Utah. They have two boys too. Milo and Elliot! Love them! Our boys got along so good we wished we were neighbors.

We're home! Two weeks in the cold and we are glad to be back! We had a wonder ful time. Here are a few pics of the boys with there Ferrin cousins.
Easton's new favorite thing to do!
Grandma made all the grandsons matching jammies! FUN!

BRING ON 2007!
Here we go....... I was sitting thinking about this last year. My body has gone from not pregnant to pregnant to not pregnant again in one year. And is still not recovered from it. I had a life threatening experience bringing Easton here and have still not recoverd from that (hormonally). I am speaking out to who ever I can about Post Partum Deppression, because it is a real, frightening thing. That fasting, prayer, faith and power of thought can not control. I still don't feel myself and struggle daily to over come it without staying on an anti-depresant (which caused me to gain 20 lbs.) So, we are trying to recover from that and poor John just has to put up with it all. John has worked as a valet, a dental assistant and full time student this year. Isaac has grown leaps and bounds and always keeps us laughing. Now we are again waiting to see if we will get into dental school and establish some roots in Las vegas for a little while longer. And through it all the most important part is our relationship with our Maker and his son and if we stay true and faithful to them all will be right and well in the end.

Merry Christmas to all!
We didn't get a Christmas card out this year. I thought about is a hundred times, so we wish you all the merriest Christmas full of the Savior's love and light. We are off to Utah with John's family tomorrow for 2 weeks and we are very excited. We get a winter wonderland for Christmas this year. It is already covered in snow. Isaac is excited to go snow sledding. The adults in our family are excited as well. Love you all and loved to see those of you at Thanksgiving. You are all such good people, trying so hard to follow the Lord. Thanks for you examples!
