Home Run?

Okay so I don't know how to edit video, so this one is a little longer than it needs to be, but I thought it was funny. This was a few weekends ago and Thad was playing t-ball with Sammy and he was trying so hard to hit the ball that he kept falling over.

Sammy is finally talking a little more. This weekend alone I heard five new words. He still has a ways to go, but the biggest difference is he's trying now. And if you ask him to say something he will try instead of pout and run away. He's up to 56 words and his newest phrase is "all mine!"(yelled while wrapping his arms around his bowl of mac and cheese, like someone was going to eat his food.)
Andi has been going to town on memorizing the Articles of Faith. She passed off number 8 yesterday and as soon as we got home she wanted to start memorizing 9. She cannot get enough of Baby Porter these days and is always asking to go see him.
I have been exercising with Kelsie the last two weeks, and though she does not seem impressed by my efforts(or lack thereof), I'm finally passed the phase where everything makes me sore. But I've decided I dislike exercising, and I'm pretty sure I will quit after our Hawaii trip, which is the whole reason I'm even doing this. oh ya, Thad and I leave for Hawaii in a month and one day. Boo-ya.
I got the, I have to change things right now, bug a few weeks ago and have made several trips to the fabric store. It started with the chairs in the dinning room, and then I made curtains and pillow covers for the living room, and bought new candles. But,  Thad is a little sensitive to the way they smell, so now I'm looking for all new decor for the bookcase, fireplace, and entertainment center. We have a homegoods now, the grand opening was last week and Kelsie and I went. Big mistake. I think I'll go back in a few weeks and look for stuff, because it was so packed. They were completely out of baskets, and the check out line wrapped all the way around the store. lame. Anyway, here are the new creations.

I've seriously been walking around the house trying to find reasons to sew or make something new. No luck yet, but I'm sure I'll think of something in a few days.
