Fashion Show

I have been in the need of a cute bag to carry around

all the necessities of being a mom of a child in diapers.


The diaper bags I get from the hospital don't stand a chance with me.


My neighbor being the great gal that she is gave me a pattern for a bag...she was even great about letting me go through all of her fabric and choosing some that I liked.
The outcome was the need for Evan and Elizabeth to model the bag for all to see.


Hands on the hips and now strut...


This is what you really do with a purse!

Tooth Fairy

After having to wait an agonizing 8 years 5 month and 16 days,

Austin finally gets to have the Tooth Fairy visit him.

The tooth was so ready to come out and Austin was the one that got the courage up
and pulled the tooth out with a little prodding from Todd.

We finally have a toothless grin in our home!

Temple Granite Quarry Trail

We needed to get out of the house and the heat, so we headed up the canyon
to a easy walking hike.

The kids enjoyed the easy hike, but it was a pain finding the trail head parking area...it isn't marked very well until you get down the road a bit.

Evan was most concerned with the water bottles and being able to carry them.


Take my picture dad!


Look!

Bear Lake

We had fun going up to Bear Lake on the 4th of July with Todd's parents.

There were tons of people there, but the kids had a blast
getting into the water and digging in the sand.


This is the life, Dad!



No more water for me...I'll just sit here and look cute!

Sewing Projects

I have been having fun sewing lately. There are a lot of projects that I have been working on. My nieces were here from Hawaii and I helped them make a some new outfits.

Kauluwehi and I went to the fabric store and she choose the pattern and the matterial. I then helped her make a dress.

Mikela made a skirt, from the same pattern, with some left over fabric that I had from a dress that I made.

I think that they turned out pretty cute with a little help from me.

I have also had fun making reversible aprons as gifts for family and friends.


This one I made for my niece who just got married.


I came up with the saying and made this one for Marie who is getting married soon.




I think that they have turned out really cute and were a lot of fun to make.

Craters of the Moon National Monument

Watch out little ladies this one is on the loose....like in 20 years, if I let him out.

The troupe....yes we all belong in the circus

Someone misses Dance Class...

Yep, Definitely misses Dance Class.

These ultra-tiny pink flowers were everywhere.
