Fun with chalk

Yesterday the kiddos were playing with sidewalk chalk and it got wet. Did you know that it turns into a kind of paint when it's wet? Pretty fun for them, and me!

Happy Birthday Baby!

Today my sweet A turned 2. She woke up so happy and we told her Happy Birthday! She was just so excited to be the birthday Princess (Pincess) all day too! We went to the store, took S to swim lessons, came home and had lunch then went to the pool. After swimming we had pizza, cake and ice cream and she and S crashed! It was a good, good day.

Happy Birthday to my sweet girl. You are such a joy and an angel in my life. You make each day so fun! I love how sassy and sweet you are, how much you love your Daddy and brother, and how you take care of all of us. You truly are the light of my life. I love you baby girl!

I LOVE these kids!

We let A open her birthday presents tonight. J has to go into work early in the morning and I can’t stand making her wait all day Here are a few pictures. They crack me up. She and her baby have matching dresses, but you can’t see hers. She wouldn’t try it on. It shouldn’t surprise me, my children rarely wear anything I make for them. Oh well, they sure are cute!

Oh, and S went for a walk tonight wearing the shoes and carrying the purse. He is such a nut. The funniest was when he would run. I about peed my pants!

He is officially 4!

Here is a great slide show of the boy's 4th birthday! Enjoy :)

Where Does the Time Go?

Yesterday my Bub turned 4. When Jer asked him how it felt to be 4, he looked down at himself, looked at us very confused and announced, "Wait! I'm still the same size!". Poor kid thought he was going to magically be bigger on his 4th birthday!!!

He had a great day though. We had a party planned for him with all his friends, but, A woke up on Sunday morning throwing up and continued throughout the day and into Monday morning. So, we've rescheduled it for tomorrow. At first he was really upset because he thought that meant he wouldn't have a birthday on Monday. Once we explained that it would still be his birthday, and we could do other things, he was much better with it. We're sad because a few of his friends can't make it on Wednesday, but it's better than getting everyone else sick!

So, we had a treasure hunt for his presents in the morning (a great way to start off a Pirate birthday!), had pirate pancakes, went to the grocery store (what a trooper..on his birthday even!), had lunch at McDonald's (one of the 2 times a year we go), went and saw Kung Fu Panda, then came home, played outside, had a spaghetti dinner and cake and ice cream. He told me it was the best birthday ever.

He's such a sweet boy and I am so lucky to be his Mom. Here are a few photos of my boy, with the last ones being of his birthday.

My Gram

Today my Grama Cheezie died. I just can't believe it. She was such a feisty woman and I never thought she'd be gone so soon. I just saw her in November, and am so glad I did. My kids got to play with her and I was able to hug her, kiss her and smell her sweet smell one last time. Of course, I had no idea that it would be the last time.
I will miss her until the day I can see her again. I take comfort knowing that she is with my sweet Emma, her husband (who died 17 years ago) and both of her parents.
I love you Gram.

A conversation with S

Dad: Tell Mom what you touched today!
S: A snake!
Dad: How did it feel when you touched it?
S: Um, good.
Dad: What did it feel like?
S: A velvet rose!

This kid cracks me up!

Shop Update!

It's been a while, but I have finally updated my Etsy Shop! So, spread the word to your friends, I have dresses and Diaper Bags in the shop right now, and more to come later!

Wordless Wednesday::KU Celebraton and Everyday Life

Another Day.

I had a very bad day on Wednesday. One of those days when you just want to go back to bed and start over, but you know you cant.

I love when those bad days end! I was able to go to knit at our local yarn store on Thursday and had a good time chatting with friends and laughing.

So, I'm going to be selling dresses at a boutique in Salt Lake on May 3rd. The boutique is Art Inside, and it is going to be fabulous!!! Go check out the blog for this awesome boutique! Oh, and win some free earrings!!!

Speaking of dresses...wanna see my latest creation? I intended on making this for the Gardener's Market and the boutique, but when I tried it on A to see what size it was, she wouldn't take it off! So, I guess this is her new dress!!!

I have also been knitting!!! I started a soaker for A a while ago, and finished it, but she pooped on it before I could get a picture of it! So, you'll have to wait for that one. After I finished that I decided she needed some shorties for this summer. So, I made her a pair of shorties with Cascade 220, and another wool yarn that I don't know the name of. I did the Curly Purly waste band, and Sheepy Pants shorts pattern. I love them, and more importantly, so does she!

We've had some crazy spring weather here. It was 80 on Monday, and snowy and 35 on Tuesday! Ugh. Today it will be beautiful, tomorrow snow. I really don't love spring in Utah. We got our garden started last weekend though, boy I can't wait for fresh garden veggies!

Well, now I'm off to sew. If you're in the Salt Lake area, come to the Art Inside Boutique on May 3rd!! There will be food, lots of great items to look at or purchase (it's the weekend before Mother's Day!), and fun! Make it a girls day, we all need those!!!
