Hey all,
Well, I am home today, after a long day of work yesterday. Man, it sure is BUSY right now! It's hard to keep my head above water. Of course, things on the home front are completely under control, thanks to my most amazing husband. I am really and truly sooo spoiled... I probably don't even begin to know how much!!!! Not only did he watch the boys all day yesterday, but he also cleaned both bathrooms, vacuumed, cleaned the oven, and did all the laundry, including washing the sheets and making the beds. He also had hamburger fried so I just had to quick throw together the spaghetti sauce when I got home. Is he amazing or what? So today... I have had a VERY lazy morning around here. Wayne and I snuggled a bunch, Weston took a 2 hour nap (I never know what to do when he sleeps that long!)and I did a bunch of research on a new camera lens I am shopping for... Which by the way is confusing as heck, but I think I finally decided on the one I want to use for a majority of the wedding pictures! I can't believe the wedding is 7 1/2 WEEKS away... Argh! So much to do, so little time! This afternoon I am working for a little while, making a cheesecake, and then taking Trisha to the doctor. I love chauffering her around, we have so much fun! I also can't wait for that little baby of hers to make her/his debut on earth! I have my boy and my girl clothing lines picked out, so I am ready to go!
That's all on this home front.... Have a good day all, and don't forget to nicely organize your tax stuff for your accountant! :-)

My new favorite website!
I found this website, and you can upload 12-15 pictures and it puts it into a video clip for you, and then you can add music. This whole video took me less than 60 seconds to make (minus upload time.) It's my first one, and it didn't like the 12x12 scrap page, but I think it's super cute! 3o second clips are also FREE, and even if you want a longer one, they are super reasonable and well worth the pennies because they are soooo easy to use! I should've found it a few weeks ago when Weston turned one!

25 random things you didn't know you didn't know about me!
Okay, I got sucked in too! Here they are, read at your own peril.
1. I have 2 emails in my personal inbox, and 4 in my work email. I HATE it when emails accumulate, so I deal with them ASAP.
2. I really, really, really love caramel Cadbury eggs. I know, gross.... but they are good!
3. I always wash my hands when I walk in the back door, before hugging the boys.
4. I am neurotic when it comes to organizing files on my computer. Everything has a place, and should be in it's place.
5. I lose socks ALL the time, so there are plenty of socks without mates around here.
6. I couldn't care any less about the lost socks. Who cares? They are just socks!
7. I once lost a necklace Tyler gave me... He replaced it. I lost it. He replaced it again. He should have known back then I'd lose my head if it wasn't screwed on!
8. I am a compulsive digiscrapdepot.com downloader. I have to go there every day to get my fix.
9. Coffee makes me super sick when I'm in my first trimester of being pregnant.
10. I rarely make my bed (sorry Mom!)
11. My two favorite songs are "It is Well" and "Blessed be the Name." They make me cry every time I hear them. They should be played at my funeral someday.
12. I can't handle seeing children abused, or being treated meanly. It makes me physically sick.
13. My new favorite show is "17 kids and counting" on TLC. Amanda, don't you DARE tell me about any blogs that will ruin it for me! :-)
14. When I was in jr. high, I planned on becoming a lawyer, never marrying, and taking care of my aging parents. I was not EVER going to have kids. God is good!
15. Speaking of God... I believe that he is all powerful and all knowing. I believe he is just and good, and his ways are higher than my own!
16. I have figured out how to be a good wife, mom, friend, employee, co-worker, and follower of Christ. I just haven't figured out how to be good at all of those things at once.
17. I love where we live, I love our house.
18. I love that Tyler takes the shop-vac to our flower beds each spring to get rid of the last of the leaves from fall. He rocks my world!
19. I can't talk straight when I'm pregnant. My words get locked in my brain, and won't come out, or I say the completely wrong word from what I intended.
20. I love to go to bed exhausted. It means it's been a day well served, hopefully serving the Lord and not myself!
21. I'm addicted to reading blogs. Go figure.
22. I have never smoked or had even an ounce of alcohol. Not ever.
23. My heart aches for people who can't get pregnant, have difficulties getting pregnant, or who have difficulties when they are pregnant. I believe that they are a very, very special group of women loved by God in a very special way.
24. My Weston is walking way too much! I guess I forgot to tell him that Wayne waited until he was 17 months to be walking this much, and I'm still in shock every time I see him toddle across the room.
25. My Wayne is getting too big! He is talking too much, and doing way to many big boy things. (Like ditching his car seat for a booster!) Thankfully, he still loves to snuggle all the time too.
Are you still reading? Good for you... you better go to bed now though, I'm sure I bored you to tears!

* pot problems *
I should have posted this a few days ago, and I can't promise it will be posted for long, because if Tyler reads it he'll make me take it down!!! Read while you still can folks!
On Wednesday, Tyler watched the boys while I was at work. It was a rough, rough day of potty training. After being 5 days accident free with me, Wayne had two potty accidents, the second one being so severe that Tyler through Wayne in the bathtub... only to have Wayne hold out his hand full of _ _ _ _ while saying, "uh-oh daddy, I stinky!" Tyler does not handle _ _ _ _ well. He cleaned up, and the moved on, but I do think Wayne actually had another #2 accident later in the afternoon too. To top it all off, just before bed, Tyler took him pottie one last time, and.... Wayne's binkie fell in the toilet!!! At that point, I think he was done pottie training. Oh well... we will persevere!

I'm baaack!
Weston - once again in protest of being in solitary confinement in the pack and play... strips off his pants and socks!
Wayne was making a fort one night... him and Weston were underneath a web of laundry baskets and blankets.
The Scheib's were over, and I snapped this picture 1 second before diving for Weston to catch him from falling off the couch. Alyssa knows he's not allowed on the couch anymore! :-)

When the brother's in bed... the little brother gets cookie dough!
And he LOVES cookie dough!

Thanks for all of your questions and concerns on the last post. Very sweet to know my faithful followers missed me (although I have no earthly idea why folks... we Silves' are boring!) First off, I am perfectly fine, just busy and tired. Here's the low down since last Saturday, in no particular order....
Tyler had last weekend off, which is always LOVELY. It goes too fast though. I worked on Monday, and Wednesday too, and have had been pretty swamped as far as work goes... February is my BRUTAL month. I've got March 1 farmers, financials and special projects all coming to a head this week. I will not confess how many hours I've worked this week, but it's been more than my committment. Oh well.. I'm just going to focus on making it until March, and I'm looking for cheap flights to Las Vegas or San Diego to go away as a family of four before we become a family of five! I try to really stay low key on Tuesdays. I think I cleaned a bunch that day, and had Aunt Shelly over, and Breanne came and we finalized her invitations... and I can't remember what else... Thursday was a blur too... I worked from home, cleaned the house, and made a nice dinner. Today... today was just full, even though I didn't plan for it to be. We left here around 7:45am, and got back at 4pm. Super BIG thanks to Tanya for taking the boys for me! I ran errands in the afternoon in Bellingham, and it is just so much easier doing it without the kiddos. I am feeling better, definitely less nautious. I am still tired, and started taking iron for being anemic (no wonder, I think my body knows how much its either been pregnant or nursing in the last 3 1/2 years! For those of you who don't know... that's been for 35 months on, and 7 months off! Oh, and worth every month!) Oh well...
Everyone else is doing well too. It seems like between helping out here and there on the wedding, work, scrapbooking, and taking care of the boys... the days are busy!!!
