What have I been doing?

Here are a few fun projects that I have been working on lately...

OK, I know I went a little overboard, but they are so cute.
Now Ellie is all outfitted for summer.
My friend, Nichole, showed me how to make these cute skirts.
Yes, they are easy or I wouldn't be making them.

So eight skirts is probably a few too many!( There are a couple missing from the photo)
Thanks Helen for the fabric!
Now Ellie can wear a skirt everyday just like she always asks to do.

My sister Michelle is so cute and crafty.
She finds cute things for us to make.
This Easter wreath was so easy and Ellie even helped make the whole thing.
It was a fun family project.

Michelle also made these cute wall hangings for her living room, so I copied.
Here are mine...easy, made with scrapbook paper.
Love them!

I adapted them to go in Ellie's room too!
They turned out great!

So there you have it! I have been keeping myself busy with random projects.
Of course, my kids take up most of my time, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

A couple of cute photos!

Just a couple of cute things I wanted to add...

Aunt Amy just got back from Hawaii and brought this little outfit for Ryan.
Well, it didn't look so little before we put it on. I thought it looked HUGE!
I guess when you have a huge baby, you need huge clothes.
I just think he looks adorable.

One night at dinner, Ellie decided to fill her own plate.
Can you tell what my girl likes to eat?

Girls Weekend...and a couple of CUTE boys!

My friend has an awesome cabin up at Bear Lake and we decided to take a girls trip.
We did have a couple of boys tag along, but it was out of necessity. Nursing moms!
Anyway, we just went up and relaxed...if you call crafts relaxing.
We sewed, scrapbooked, crafted, etc. the entire time we were there.
Really, it was a blast to hang out with the girls for a couple of days.
By the time we got home, we were definitely ready to see our families again.

A Trip to the Zoo!

What could be better than a trip to the zoo?
A free trip to the zoo!
Hogle Zoo had an appreciation day to thank people for voting to give money to the zoo.
Of course we went and called Grandma & Papa, and Michelle & Aiden to join us.
It was a perfect day for the zoo. It was cool enough that the animals were all very active.
We had soooo much fun. The kids even rode the carousel and I wore my "zoo shirt".

My baby is 8 mos old!

Here is to my baby!
He is growing up so fast I thought I ought to record some things about him,
so I will always remember!
