Logan's 'Easter' Pillow case

April 3, 2009

Yes, we set 0ut to make Logan's pillowcase...I being the naive mother I am thought I would have patience to teach Logan how to make a pillowcase. Well, I learned a lot about myself...I'm not quite ready to teach other's to make anything let alone have patience. I couldn't get the darn sewing machine to work for 2 hours (it was the user not the machine)... eventually we got it going with me biting my lip and trying with all I have in me to not keep correcting or yelling! I was exhausted at the end of the day! But, Logan was happy with the finished product and absolutely loves his pillowcase... he's so proud of himself...he really did do a great job...I helped guide a little while he used the pedal...but he mostly did do it himself he even pinned the thing after we measured together. He did great!

Landon the Beautiful

Yes...Trouble can happen in seconds! I wasn't even in the house 10 minutes when Landon disappears, finds Grandma Candy's mascara and was trying to make himself beautiful. He even has his coat still on! He's amazing!

Dad and Me

I had these pictures of Logan and Kirt working on a project back in Febuary, Kirt had for one of his classes...I thought I'd better post them before I forget about them. I love to see them working together!

Big Guys Little Guys with Mom

March 24, 2009

I got Kirt and Logan some tickets at the library for a Daddy and Sons day....well it turned out that Kirt wasn't able to make it...he had to work. Sooooo, I got to go with Logan and be a Dad for the day. We had a Mom and Son day instead. The library was hosting "Big Guy's Little Guy's" medievil knight themed activity. First we went to the fishing game which Logan went back and did a couple more times (he loved the prizes), we watched jugglers juggle real knives, we pet the "beasts" (tarantula, turtle and lizard), then they had a build your own castle ( with legos) area and we did that for a little bit. We dug for gold and Logan noticed an area to get a balloon crown and so we went and got that and then they had a face painting area (he wanted a skeleton face). They had a jousting area where the kids got fake swords and "battled" with their dad's or mom's in this case. They also had a basketball hoop to thrown balls in...I'm not quite sure what that had to do with the whole knight and shining armor theme, but it was "guyish". We had a great time! Afterwards they give you a Mc D's 'happy meal', although we missed that and I went by Wendy's and picked him up a lunch. Then we went by a fabric store so he could pick out some fabric to make himself an 'Easter pillowcase'. We were really lucky that Grandma was willing to watch the other kids so we could do this. It was a great Mom and Son day!

Lincoln's Baby Blessing

November 22, 2009

Today, we finally blessed Lincoln! I know, he can practically talk and bless himself...but today we did it! My whole family came...Kenna and Brad Mills family, Kari and Michael Brown family, Kim and Tyson, Gee Gee, Mom and Dad, Mom and Pa, Keith and Liz family, Koster and Caitlin. They all made it to our ward or church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) at 9:00 am! Yes...it's early. Then we went to my parents house for brunch, to celebrate the blessing. It was a really nice day and it was an awesome blessing. A lot of precious things were said. I'm very grateful for my family and especially for a husband who holds the preisthood and blesses my children.

Your a Winner!!!

I got this post from my sister in law...I've decided to have a little fun as well.

The first three people to leave a comment on this blog will receive something made by me.

However there are some limitations.

1. I make no guarantee that you will like what I make.
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It will be done this year.
4. You have no clue what it is going to be, poetry, clothes, paper goods, or a little invention of my own. I may bake something and mail it to you .
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

Here's the catch, if you choose to do this. You must post this on your blog and be ready to make something for three people too. This will be fun! When you receive the fabulous item I make you, you must post a picture of it on your blog.

Are YOU in?????

Lincoln is 4 months!

Today, my little one is 4 months old! I can't believe it...time goes fast.
