Five Years Ago

I Lived Here:




That was a crazy fun adventure.

The Big Cheese

I know this makes two posts in one day, but I finally got a picture of our newest and most beautiful trick yet...the big cheese.

I thought she was too young for this, but apparently not. For every time I try to get her to smile or laugh I get this frightening expression instead.





I just tell her she's pretty. Mom's are supposed to do that right?



Look at how big She's getting!

Naptime

It's got to be my favorite time of day! If we have a normal day, uninterrupted by trips or meetings, Kambri will sleep up to three hours for her nap. I get my cleaning done, and then decide what I want to do next. Yesterday I wanted to craft. I didn't really have anything I needed, but it sounded like fun, so I did something for Easter.

I've really wanted something that said this for a long time...





A quick garland so that the other side of this area matched, and voila! Naptime was over.



Did you know you could sandpaper scrapbook paper? I'd never thought of it, but something I read said to try it, and look what it does, so cool! It totally makes them look a bit more antique.

Remember that project I didn't love because it looked like I made it? I added a ribbon, and it looks much better I think.



Aw, how I love naptime! I've got some projects I'm excited to do. I'll post them when I'm done along with the link to the tutorials. yay!

A Good Combination

But I could be a little biased, haha ;)

Also, Here's some 6 Month Old Cuteness...

Feelin the Itch

It's that time of year again. Winter is subsiding, the sun is coming out, things are getting a little greener. But it's still not that warm here, in good ol' Utah County. This is the time of year that is perfect for traveling! I am ready to take a trip. I won't even be picky.

I would go here.



Or here.


Or Kali is going to live here for the summer. I would definitely go there.


The trick is to convince Justin. He feels you don't get to keep anything after a vacation is over....and it is usually over pretty quickly.

I disagree. Anyone else? I could use any suggestions to convince that guy otherwise.

Another difficulty...the baby. What to do with a baby? I wish there was a safety deposit box for them. Where they would be perfectly happy and content until you get home. Ah, that would be nice.

Adorable

That is the definition of these puppies. They'll be ready on Easter Weekend. Wouldn't they look cute in someone's Easter basket?

Here's the girls.






And the little guy.



Doesn't he look just like our last little girl? Here's his sister (6 mos ago)



And with Mom, Summer (who decided she's tired of them and would be soooo happy if someone came and got them along with their sharp little teeth).



Puppies are so much fun!

Cute Spring Wreaths

Wreaths tend to be really expensive, so last week Kali and I made our own.

Here's how they turned out:







They cost us approximately $10 a wreath. Not bad right?

If you like them the tutorials can be found Here and Here.

We did not buy the paper punch for the paper wreaths. Rather I imported the shape into 'Make the Cut' and cut them out on the Cricut. Much Much easier! I ate french fries while the Cricut did all the work. Love that thing.


On a side note, I have to wish my Sister Stefani a Happy Birthday! It's not everyday you turn 21. Happy Birthday Stefi! This year is looking like a fun one for her, which makes me happy :).


 

Rollin Rollin Rollin

We have officially reached the "professional roller" status. There's no here nor there that this baby can't roll to. "A toy over there?" no big deal. She still gets frustrated when she makes a wrong turn. Soon enough she'll figure this whole mobile thing out. Until then I'll enjoy my cute little roller.







P.S. Seriously enjoyed Conference. Isn't it so nice that they have it up right away? It can be found Here.
