Toot! Toot!!

This past week we were at my in-laws cabin, (which they are getting some work done on) and they just happened to have this space available to paint on. So, with a little help from eleven little girls, I managed to create this masterpiece! I must say we did good work. So toot! toot!

projects

Now that I have a camera I can take pix of what I have been sewing. This first is a quilt I started for Sara and Tessa about 3 years ago, but never got done, until now. There is another that is in pink tones, that is almost done also. I am quite pleases with the red quilt top. Now I just have to figure out how I am going to quilt it.





This is a new diaper bag I made. I meant to have it done before Erica came, but we all know how that works. = > Anywho, it is done now and I LOVE it!!! All those colors. It is soooo ME!!!

photos

I recently had a friend take some pictures of Clara and Erica for me, and the others came along with us and had pictures taken too. You will have to go to her web site to see them. Go to :

and we are under Smith Girls. They turned out soooo cute!! Now I have to have some done of Sara and Tessa when their hair is done. => My favorites are of Erica, she is so cute and such a cheezier!!!! Imagine that. She is now 6 months old and getting so tall. She can roll over but chooses not to becuase she hates being on her tummy and when she does roll over she just screams and screams. Which is okay with me because that only leads to crawling and walking and general mobility. Ugh!! And who wants that.
The picture on the side of my blog of all the girls together was also taken by her. If you click on it, it will take to her web site also.

we are now in the process of getting ready for a last trip this summer to Phoenix, of all places. I can only think of a few places that would be hot this time of year and I am not allowed to mention such places. I am looking forward to seeing all the fam. but not the heat, and the long drive.

We got a new camera now so I can take pictures of the girls latest sewing projects and what I have been up to now to show everyone.

Evolution

since my camera is now broken and I can no longer post the pictures of Sara and Tessa's latest sewing projects, (skirts) I will just ramble about my thoughts on evolution.
Here goes:

It just can't be true, evolution, that is, because if it was true than mom's would have 3 or 4 arms, eyes on the back of our head (for real), and be able to function on just 3 or less hours of sleep a day (for all you new moms). Isn't that how it should work???

Neat huh!!!!!

Do you see what I did???? Look to the left and right of this post.
pretty cool huh!!!! I am so excited to finally know how to do this because it will help me in my newest endever. Just wait and see. It's all coming together now!!!!

You tell me....

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Enjoy!


This is the latest to go around and we all know how I am about following the masses. So baaa baaaa!

Summer time - week 2 & 3

After we came back from our southeast Idaho trip we jumped right into the thick of summer. Oh, the heat! But so nice to see the sun!!! We spent one week chasing around with Malauna and all her extra kids. All under the theory that it is easier to go out with extra hands (and even more kids). We did lunch in the park every day!! Thank you Idaho food bank!!! And then we went every where with 2 adults, 2 nine year olds, 2 eight year olds, 1 seven year old, 1 five year old, 2 four year olds, 1 three year old, 1 two year old, 1 19 month old, and an infant. Whew! But what fun we had!! (and what looks and stares!!)

We went to the zoo with all our group, plus we invited a few other friends. Bringing the group total to 4 adults and 18 kids. (a little better odds, right???)

Another day we went to the nature center and looked at all the fish and plants. It so perfect to go this time of year. Everything is in bloom and lots of baby fish.

We managed to squeeze in a little yard saleing also and found the deal of the century!!! I got a tag-a-long bike for Amber in near new condition for $10 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) !! Can you believe it!!! I was so excited to find it I just about wet my pants!!!!!!!

We even took them out to Meridian Dairy Days and let the kids all go on a few rides and had a picnic lunch there. What fun!! You got to love Clara's sunglasses and Hyrum's "I am not having fun" look. What an adventure it was and what fun it was to play all together.

We spent the next week just hanging out and I got in quite a few sewing projects because I have major birthdays coming up!!! Yikes.
