new recipes

Some friends decided we'd have our own craft camp for our kids. Today was my turn, we filled containers with sand and made our own puff paint. This was I think the most fun. Depending on how much paint you put on your cardboard, your paint puffs up higher when heated. Definately a keeper!

I tried these because hers looked so yummy. Of course mine didn't look as good, but they still tasted good, my fav was the cinnamon and sugar covered ones. My chocolate didn't turn out as smooth...

grrr

gone is the cute background. when trying to add a new one, i can't. why? i don't know and am not going to spend more time figuring it out.

what I've been up to...

It all began with the Turquoise mushroom fabric. Little Bit picked it up and sweetly said, "Mom - will you please make a blanket for me with this fabric - I just love it!" How could I resist?

of course, then I needed to make one for Little Dude - she picked out most of the fabrics for hers.
I just need to finish sewing the binding down.

One for my room - just the top is finished. I picked up batting yesterday, so it could be done soon. I want to make some coordinating pillows to give my room a little color and life!

This one is a work in process - it's for my mom. I've since added a border, well part of a border, getting the triangles to match up just right isn't my strength!

I have two more quilts ready to start cutting...I'm hoping to complete these 4 this summer and get the next two at least started!

Another happy note - little Man went to sleep on his own in his crib at 3:30 this morning and slept til 8! Woooo Hooooo! He used to be such a good little sleeper and for the past week or so, has been up all night long. No sleep for mom and dad!

3 months

Hi - I'm Little Man and I'm three months old. I love to smile. I love to talk. I love to eat. I spit up - a lot. Sometimes my mom says I spit up more than I eat. Maybe that's why I love to eat so much. I also like to play peek-a-boo. I like holding onto blankets and sucking on them. I do not however love to be in the car. The carseat is ok, but once buckled into the car, I will scream non-stop. I rarely cry myself to sleep in the car, so hence my mom doesn't take me many places. I think I'm about the cutest thing ever and have both my parents wrapped around my finger - grandparents too. Oh and my sisters - they love me too. Sometimes a little too much. I'm trying to roll over (finally did at 3am this morning when I didn't want to go back to sleep) and I really want to sit up. I'm a pretty good sleeper once I fall asleep, but that falling asleep- thing - is kinda hard. I wake up a lot when my mom puts me in my crib. I sleep in my own room now, I can't have blankets in bed with me because I always pull them over my head and then it's hard to breathe. Well - time for me to eat again.

more happenings

The Mayor and Little bit at the top of the slip-n-slide

we love the bowtie MarMar!

Little bit fell and poked a hole in her hand, the gauze we used to stop the bleeding stuck to her hand, soaking her hand to get it off. Thank goodness for good friends and funny ringtones!

Little Bit fell asleep shortly after this picture

The Little Man was blessed at the beginning of the month. Last weekend we went to Ensign Ranch with friends and had so much fun! The girls went rode on a horse, played on the slipe-n-slide, went on a hayride, played with friends, and ate lots of s'mores and roasted starbursts.

craziness

Duvall Days - the girls walked in the the kiddie paprade and then we watched the rest with friends.

Gold medal reading assembly - way to go Little Dude! She is such an awesome reader!

Piano recital - duet with her friend Ashley, Ode to Joy.

Animals, Animals! Music class at school recital

Jump-a-thon - she is a super jumper! 189 jumps in two minutes.

It's been crazy busy around here...so many end of the year activities. yesterday we enjoyed (well sorta enjoyed, I was ready to put the girls in summer camp for the rest of the summer by 10am. It got better in the afternoon) a day of doing nothing...I did a few things around the house - but we didn't have to be anywhere and that was nice.
