Our Brothers are loving their little brother and are a big help around the house! I can't believe how well they clean now!! Now there are some days that they need to redo an area but I am very proud of how much they help and do it "Mom's way".<br />

We got a new dog! Chewy came to us from the local Animal Shelter. I really think that his previous owner lost him and just couldn't find him again. But he has been a wonderful DOG! We did have a problem potty training outside and with a houseful of boys and a baby we have opted to use potty pads. He doesn't like to go up and down the stairs so he needs help at night to go up to our room, but other than that perfect! He is awesome with the boys and patient not only with them but Kitty as well. (My sister's cat).<br />

I started using a headlamp to see better and then of course Nathan wanted to do it too, so I set him up with a piece of cloth and some thread. He was so cute, but realized how LONG it took and how much PATIENCE you have to have that he started and a minute later stopped!<br />
<br />
My end goal is to keep a regular updated blog. I used to be awesome at it, but than becoming pregnant and than having a baby, I'm still not back to "normal" but maybe by the end of the year I can become more consistent!Crystal Hendrixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13474148625835632625noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932739895935097033.post-8447312559760145182014-05-11T19:41:00.000-06:002014-05-11T19:42:44.456-06:00Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Trav decided that we needed to read scriptures every night as a family so we have since than read a verse each. Since Kimball can't read yet (he is getting close) he just repeats after Travis or I. It hasn't been 100% but we have been truckin' along! We are currently in Omni (Book of Mormon) right now! We won't be done for some time but that's okay. We are reading as a family and we can tell a big difference of when we read the scriptures as a family and when we don't. The boys have also become better readers for it as well! I hope we can continue this always!<br />

But than we add that I use my phone since it has a pretty decent camera on it....and I sometimes do well and other times terribly!<br />
<br />
As I was putting them on the computer I realized that I have a lot of pictures of us loving Lincoln. We sure do love our Lincoln and are happy that Heavenly Father sent him to us!<br />

I can't say 100% that Lincoln is our last one but as far as we know he is for now. It's amazing that you can feel complete as a family but than add another child and you than can't imagine life without the newest one! I have felt that way with every boy that we have added to our family. I am so grateful for Lincoln but am also grateful for such a loving family! I love to see the love that our boys show their newest brother every day! We love our Lincoln! </div>

Her name is Kitty and Dinner. While we were all trying to come up with a name for her Trav decided to call her Dinner as a joke. Than Brandon HATED it and to tease/help him understand that names can be different Trav decided to keep calling her dinner. But in the end we named her Kitty. Although she does respond to both Kitty and Dinner.<br />
<br />
She is a silly and jealous kitty that likes to hang on you and sit in Lincoln's things.<br />

Here she is in Lincoln's swing in the computer/sewing room.<br />

We will be sad to see her go when Catie moves out. But when that happens I am guessing it will depend on if her new place allows pets. Around here it is hard but we will see. This is the first time I've lived with a cat in 13 years. I've missed them but I must admit I am not enjoying the kitty litter smells :DCrystal Hendrixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13474148625835632625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932739895935097033.post-51748837729209403682014-02-22T15:12:00.000-07:002014-02-22T15:12:00.493-07:00Cute little boysWe went for a walk last month and to play at the park.<br />

But of course he got stuck on the ice! He had a little fun playing in the water. We ended up having me go out there and give a little push. It did the trick! After several weeks our lake disappeared to be replaced with a nice big mud hole that my boys love to walk through and track through the house! I am very grateful our new home has wood flooring!<br />

We are hoping to have by next winter this area all filled with gravel so we can cut down on the mud, but also the pipe will be fixed and this won't happen again!Crystal Hendrixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13474148625835632625noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932739895935097033.post-87737726890096075762014-02-19T15:48:00.000-07:002014-02-19T15:48:00.876-07:00Lunch with DaddyWe were able to meet Daddy for lunch last month.

The many faces of Lincoln. I will have to try and find a baby picture of all my boys because they all look alike so much! At times I think he looks like Nathan, than Brandon than Kimball. But whatever it is....he's adorable!<br />

I would say the only bad thing about the party was the fact that seeing boys Brandon's age I saw on a social level where Brandon should be and he was WAY below. But we can only go up from here. I love my Brandon! I'm very grateful that he has a few boys he can call friends and that they can come over whenever he would like. It's nice to see that there are some good kids out there!Crystal Hendrixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13474148625835632625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932739895935097033.post-27544111306626234082014-01-28T17:10:00.001-07:002014-01-28T17:10:08.640-07:00Busy Busy BeeOh it feels so good to be sewing again!

Than I decided that I needed to make a practice block for a commissioned quilt I am working on. So while I was waiting for the fabric I pulled some fabric from my stash and started working. Isn't it an adorable block?<br />

<br />
The blocks are now now and the quilt top is actually put together now, just waiting to baste, quilt and do the binding!<br />

Than I had extras so I made my attempt to make some pin cushions.....well the first one is my first attempt and it's way too big. So I made the second one, just right. I think I am going to make the first one into a mini quilt and hang it on my wall...I am have great plans for MANY mini wall quilts for my home. (Notice the diet coke, peanut M&M's and sudafed? Its what's getting me through these days!)<br />

Than last but not the least... I finally designed a baby quilt for my newest niece! Her Mommy LOVES butterflies and so I decided to make that the theme of this quilt. I am thinking of maybe adding a teal butterfly to the mix, and than of course all the little blocks will be different hues of the the color out of many different fabrics. Make sense? Well as soon as I finish up the 3 to 4 quilts I am currently working on I will start it! But it will be a quick one. I can't wait to make it!Crystal Hendrixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13474148625835632625noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932739895935097033.post-12490860044854240152014-01-13T12:32:00.000-07:002014-01-13T12:32:00.451-07:00Turning 11 with AspergersMy little man turned 11 this month!

He decided that he wanted to have a Mine Craft party for his birthday and invited 5 boys from school. We had to give out the invites before the Winter Break at school so I was hoping that 2 weeks before the party wasn't too long of a time.<br />

Well 2 boys said "no" right away (breaks my heart) and the other 3 said yes. Well the week of the party we had a little sickness in our house. Lincoln got RSV and we had a trip to the ER. But we decided that we needed to postpone the party until Lincoln was better. Well I had no way of getting a hold of 2 or the 3 boys for the party and since none of the 3 boys RSVPed I was left with only calling the one. I was hoping that they would show up on the party date and that their parents just didn't want to call. No such luck.<br />

<br />
Now we haven't set a date for the party but I am not sure we will get one. Maybe we will just do a sleepover in a later month. But it's sad so see my little boy who is finally at the age of 11 wanting to make friends and his attempts have failed. I must try to focus on the positive and think that he is now trying and that soon he will have a friend that will stick by him, even when he can be a bit wild or silly.<br />

<br />
So no friend party and having told all extended family to stay home so we wouldn't pass along our sickness we had a little family party. We melted beads into Mine Craft pieces and then we had a movie night with pizza, cake, ice cream and root beer floats! It was a fun!<br />

So while I am waiting for fabric to arrive so that I can make a commission quilt, I have been digging into my WIP.<br />
<br />
I'm also working in a very confined space right now too. But I will live with it for now. We will hopefully get lucky at a local thrift store to find me a nice working desk or table to use.<br />

But since I have such a small space I am sticking to just piecing, and that is hard enough as it is.<br />
<br />
I finished piecing Lincoln's quilt. I started it while I was pregnant, cutting out the triangles, but lets face it, nothing really got done while I was pregnant.<br />

I think it turned out rather well myself. But I will wait to quilt it for now. But I am thinking just lines.<br />

After finishing piecing this one I decided to pull out some blocks that I started I think about 2 1/2 years ago...or maybe it was 3 1/2 years ago. I have no idea. I just know I started them around the time we took a family trip to San Diego. (My memory is fading! AHHH)<br />

I used a Dot to Dot pattern by<a href="http://www.jaybirdquilts.com/"> Jaybird Quilts.</a> But I only had a jelly roll at the time so I cut it into 4.5" pieces and sewed two pieces together and used that as my main block. Than I didn't have a fancy ruler she had so I made one! And cut the circle out of the middle of them all. A lot of work and I can see why I put it off!<br />

So I have another quilt top done and ready to be quilted. Since this one has frayed ends I am planning on doing straight line quilting on it too...eventually. At least I am making some progress on some WIP.Crystal Hendrixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13474148625835632625noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932739895935097033.post-25159767910531614222014-01-10T11:24:00.000-07:002014-01-10T11:24:00.923-07:00Heart and SewI have decided that I have been anti-social for way too long and that I need to re-enter the world of virtual quilting! So I joined the group Heart and Sew where I will be doing a Valentine Swap!<br />

<br />
I am nervous because this means that I have to actually try to finish something ON TIME for someone else with a newborn in the house (never did this before) but it also means I'm guaranteed a Valentine!<br />
<br />
I will try to become better and blogging and keeping things up to date! But if you want to follow me via instagram where I post things regularly my username is @nmommy02.<br />
<br />
For now...I'm excited to belong to a group again.Crystal Hendrixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13474148625835632625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932739895935097033.post-13389906348018482392014-01-09T11:14:00.003-07:002014-01-09T11:14:47.801-07:00Am I Popular?I have 2 of my quilts make it to the top <a href="http://www.favequilts.com/Monthly-Quilting-Favorites/The-100-Best-Quilt-Patterns-of-2013-Baby-Quilt-Patterns-Quilted-Handbags-Free-Quilt-Blocks-and-More/ct">100 quilts in 2013 by Fave Quilts!</a> Does this mean I'm popular? The age old question. But how I view the term popular is am I accepted in my field of interest that I love. Is what I design and create accepted in the fast world of quilting? I am hoping the answers are yes!<br />

I ended up hand embroidering all our names on them. I LOVE how they turned out!<br />
<br />
Than back when we were moving in September/October I had a friend come help me clean our old place. I can't just take service (I have issues) so I said I would do things for her in return. So we went to Joannes and bought fabric for me to make her boys some warm quilts for Christmas.<br />

They are now finally done!! NEVER AGAIN will I quilt fleece, 2 LAYERS of batting and flannel! It was a nightmare and to top it off it did something to my sewing machine so now I can't use my darning foot. :( The tension is WAY WAY off and I end up with tons of extra thread on bottom. Top looks great but turn it over and yuck. I have played with the tensions and cleaned my machine. Not 100% sure what else to do now so I will have to research it. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know! I have a Juki TL98Q.<br />

Than before the kids were let out on Winter break I needed to hurry and make Birthday invitations for Brandon. We are going to have a Minecraft themed party. We are inviting 5 boys, and one boy he handed the invite to tore it up! Oh I was so sad and mad! I wanted to march over to that boys house and give him a good telling off. Than the boys friend who was invited as well told Brandon he can't come. I am worried that no little boy will show up! Thankfully we are having cousins come but I thought we were making big progress in the social area and it turns out that no...we aren't. I will have to let everyone know how the party turns out after News Years.<br />

Currently my sewing area is right here in the dining room. Our computer room/sewing room is still full of boxes. Hopefully I can get that changed here right after Christmas so that I can start quilting! I am starting to get my mind rolling on different quilts and stuff that I want to make.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone has a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR! It has been a difficult/stressful/joyful/wonderful year!

I must say that just having a baby (and being pregnant for the last 9 months) has been hard on me! But I am so happy to finally be feeling like quilting again! I am laying awake at night again thinking of the different projects I want to make! This is what I think I am going to try to squeeze in before Christmas this year. I found it on Pinterest and just love them! They have just enough quilting goodness to it I think!<br />

Little Lincoln Cooper! He was 7 lbs 13 oz and 20 " long. I thought he would have been bigger but still a nice size.<br />
<br />
He is doing wonderful and is such a good baby! The only time he has cried is when he has little gas bubbles in his tummy or being circumcised!<br />

These boys are such a big help and don't hesitate to bring Mom a diaper or grab a blanket for me.<br />
<br />
I feel so lucky to have all of my boys and I love being the "Princess" in the group! Now that I am no longer pregnant and am feeling somewhat normal again....well I'm getting to be normal again, I finally feel like quilting (and man is my list long) as well as updating my blog! Man do I have tons to update! Since I use this blog as a journal of sorts I want to add EVERYTHING that I have missed in oh...the last year! Maybe I can post date it or something, or just throw up collages and a little explanation. It's not like I did a whole lot in the last 9 months or took many pictures...but we did move into our first house! So there will be somethings.<br />
<br />
I'm just excited to be back and can't wait until I can get my sewing machine set up and I can start sewing again! It was worth being pregnant for 9 months to get this beautiful little boy, but man am I happy not to be pregnant anymore!Crystal Hendrixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13474148625835632625noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932739895935097033.post-84442750256155867562013-07-05T21:05:00.000-06:002013-07-05T21:05:11.977-06:00Oh Where, Oh Where did Mommy go?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Oh where, oh where did Mommy go?? What a good question!!<br />
<br />
Well it began with this in the beginning of March....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pregnancy has been going well but not the greatest. I haven't been throwing up all the time like I did with my first two pregnancies but I did get a nice ear virus in the beginning that left me able to do nothing but sit and lay down or I would fall down! Dang vertigo. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then after that I have been battling with no motivation and no desire to do dittly squat. I have not quilted in 4 1/2 months expect in absolute in absolute necessity, which surprisingly is was about none! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then today I found out this...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are welcoming in our fourth little baby boy into our family. I am not going to lie and say that I was 100% happy with this discovery but I am glad to have another little boy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I went through a bunch of different highs and lows and it all has to do with that little stick between his legs. All of the boys were very disappointed with this new discovery. Brandon was in tears for the rest of the visit, and Nathan was in shock for a good 15 minutes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was okay for most of the day and then this afternoon I crashed! I started crying for the lose of my phantom baby girl. I suddenly thought all the hard times I have been through these past months such as living in a messy home, cooking barely at all and going through the wonderful emotional hormone roller coaster. I was upset that I was doing this all again for another boy. Then was mortified at that thought that entered my mind. I wasn't angry that I didn't have a girl but sad, but then I got angry because I was sad. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After telling Travis all my thoughts he became the sweetest and kindest through this pregnancy and laughed at me. He said that he knew how I was feeling and that it was okay and apologized for laughing at me! Now Trav has been good through this pregnancy but there has been a definitively a lack of sympathy or support during this 4th pregnancy. He loves me dearly and I know that but all those concerns for my back aches and stomach aches have gone on a hike. I wonder if this is common with most dads. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know that as soon as this baby is ready to make it's appearance in November I will love this child and as much as any new mother but for now I can be sad for my phantom girl. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One good thing that has happened from today (to leave a positive note)...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started quilting for the first time since all of this happened. I would like to finish this by the 15th and I think I can do it. </div>

(my next Moda Bake Shop project)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I guess what I needed all along was my sewing machine to calm my troubled emotions.</div>

This is definitely one quilt that I am keeping for myself! It is already sitting on my bed being used! <br />

Trav loves it because I made it long enough that we can tuck it in at the end of the bed and it won't come un-tucked! He is such a weirdo when it comes to his covers in bed!<br />
<br />
I hope you all enjoy it! It's a fast and simple block that once combined is adorable!

After giving a lot of these people something every year for 4 different years, I am drawing up a blank!<br />
<br />
Now don't get me wrong, I have a <a href="http://pinterest.com/nmommy02/teacher-appreciation/">pinterest board</a> dedicated to teacher appreciation ideas, but it just seems that when I get down to it, time and life make it difficult. So I came up with this...<br />

I went to Home Depot and bought a small flower plant and terracotta planter, used some left over dowels from my curtain project, added a note and picture....and there you have it! I do apologize for the picture....I am lousy at taking pictures and even when I'm taking them I think they look good but when I get them on my computer....blah!<br />

I got a total of 12 plants and planters. 11 went to teachers and staff and 1 was for me! At first I wasn't going to get one, but then thought...why not!<br />
<br />
Then Kimball got out of school early today and so we had a play date with some boys in his class. I did have a cool picture of them walking hand in hand out of the school and in the van on the way to our house...but there was an accident and I deleted them. :(<br />

We did play other things, but I couldn't resist taking one of them playing Trav's computer! We seem to turn everyone to computers! Maybe it's because Trav has a really nice computer? But we took turns playing computer - every 15 minutes we would switch....<br />

We even got the ipad into the mix. The boys did have a great time today! Although I think Kimball didn't realize that having friends over was a little harder than he thought. I mean he had to share a lot more and take a LOT more turns! Oh well, we will definitely do this again in the near future!

Happy Happy Quilt! But the best part of this quilt is you can make it "H" stand for anything you want!!<br />

Originally I had created a "Happy Halloween" style and was going to use Halloween fabric, well that panned out....then I found this wonderful fabric from <a href="http://www.unitednotions.com/un_main.nsf/pat-sloan!OpenPage">Pat Sloan, "Eat Your Fruits and Veggies".</a><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then had the idea to make it a "Happy Harvest" themed quilt with it being during the fall time and that's when your garden is ready. But things lead to this and that and we weren't able to have it posted in the Fall, so we changed it to the "Happy Happy" quilt! But see how you can change the "H" to stand for anything that starts with an "H"? </div>

I do have to admit that the "H" also stands for our last name, Hendrix. <br />

This is a fun and simple quilt! It didn't take too long to put together and is a perfect size lap quilt!<br />
<br />
It has already found a home with Brandon's previous Speech Teacher. She came to our home every week for a year to help Brandon. She was wonderful, sweet and kind! So I gave her this quilt at Christmas so that she could always remember us!<br />

It just took me two months! So here is some more mish-mash of pictures.....<br />

Back before school started we went to carnival put on my our bank. My sister in law, Melissa works for them and invited/reminded me of this event. Travis stayed home and me and the boys went. I am rather glad Trav stayed home (after we were there) due to the fact that it was so crowded! Trav doesn't do very well in crowds (boys too) and so I am glad he didn't go and add more stress to his life. <br />

There were a lot of different booths selling and educating from the local college. There was also a lot of bounce houses we played on (meaning the boys). <br />

We then got some free popcorn and cotton candy and rode a cute little indoor train. After about 2 hours we called it quits and went home. <br />

Before leaving I made sure we got a picture with Aunt Melissa! She is so good to my boys and has the tons of patience with them! Giving them hugs and accepting any social interaction on their terms! It's nice to have supportive family members!<br />
<br />
<br />
I love how inventive and "buildy" my boys are! Here we are at the doctors office and Brandon creates an airplane! He is awesome at creating different lego projects!<br />

At the same doctors' office, Nathan is making a plastic canvas my little pony for Kimball. Nathan is my crafter! No glue gun, tape or paper is safe with him around! He is constantly creating! He wants to be an artist when he gets older.<br />

Back during the summer when I took pictures, I thought of cool blog posts that I would create....well life happened and the blog posts didn't happen! This is a rain day that we spent playing legos, running errand and eating out. <br />

The boys were so cute walking into Wal-Mart together holding hands! They do truly love each other and are always helping each other out! Then we went to Artie Circle for lunch. They had a play area that the boys could stretch their legs out in. <br />

Kimball was being a stinker, Nathan was happy and bubbly and of course found a baby right away to follow. Then Brandon was just happy to be out of the house and after checking out the "play area" chilled next to me.<br />

Then finally I wanted to share pictures from election day. I volunteered at Kimball's school and then in the afternoon took Brandon with me to go vote. We are lucky and the area was just across the street from us. Since Brandon was being home schooled at the time, I thought it was a good way to show him our government in action. He wasn't that impressed....it was boring!<br />
