Purse

Beatrice LOVES her purse! She takes it EVERYWHERE! She even SLEEPS WITH IT!! Ask anyone! :) She's got lipgloss, her toy cell phone, a little toy doll, tissues, sunglasses and a drink in there at ALL times! She often has her lipgloss on before we see her in the morning.

This is a picture right before walking to church on Sunday. :)

She is SO much fun!

Sewing group project for October

Sewing Group

CHANGE!!

MONDAY Oct. 18th 11AM

at the church.

Bring a project and you'll have Leslie personally tutor you. Nursery provided, which is Isabel watching the kids if you need it.

OR, a project idea is these "flower" accents for headbands, hair clips, hairbands, or pins on clothes or bags for you or your little girls. We can defiantly cut them in flower shapes or shape them into some fun dimensions. This is just what I did with my girls. Dont forget these are FUN gifts too!

Bring scraps of 5 or 7 different fabrics and buttons or beads for the centers. You can make these as big or small as you want. Dont forget to think texture too... tulle, jeans, vinyl, satin, cotton... wow, the list is long for textured fabrics. Just a few stitches to attach the button or bead and thats it!

Contact me with questions! Thanks group!

Addy recites a poem

ok, she knows it by heart, but really wanted to read it. :) cutie!

Conference

Most of you know I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints (Mormon). The Prophet and the 12 apostles just spoke to the world this weekend. Beautiful instruction and words of encouragement. I feel specifically a sence of healing love from God. If you ever want to know about the gospel, Conference is very informative.

I am so happy that we are not alone here. I know where I came from, why I am here and where I am going. Everyone makes mistakes. Some small and some huge. Sometimes I dont think life is fair, but it's too hard to do it with out the Lord's constant help.

I like this one too. One day we'll have some great shot of what seems of the vast flat landscape of Twin Falls. But in the mean time, this one is pretty darn cute. Esp with all those people that I love in it with me. :)

How do YOU say Jello?

Learning to say every word can be so much fun! :) This is hilarious to me!! :)

Shout out to my friend Burgandy Keel on the Biggest Looser!

You are Inspiring Girl!

How do I know Burgandy? She is my old Bakers Shoes boss, Chris Keel's, wife. They might be the best people on this planet! :) We kept in touch for a few years after Bakers Shoes, but you know Facebook.

Professional Family Photo

I am weird and when I see a picture of friends or family, I want to see them as close up as possible. :) Maybe has to do with closing the gap of the distance. Who knows. I couldnt figure out how to let you see the pics close up with out having them small and then have you click on it. Weird, but there it is. I loved the pics and the session . :)

Some friends have been asking... so I'll tell. I made Bea's tutu and Charlottes dress. Then the day of the pictures I noticed Addy's outfit would not work, so I made her black shirt out of one of my old ones. It worked out great!

family photos... amature style

So what does 14 kids, 6 adults at a farm with 3 cameras going to do with themselfs?

I'll show you what came out of my amature camera.... The proffesionals from Jessica will follow another day soon.

This is our group of great friends!

" ummm... are they summosed to go back there??"

Dang! Almost got her!

Yep, thats a real farm behind them.

We tried to focus on the great parts!

Chris and the kids

OK! We can be done! Oh well...

We have some pretty cute kids at "Joy School" Preschool this year!!

I know all the kids werent here the day we had school, but we had a great day playing and learning! I am so glad there is something for just Beatrice and I to do with her friends as she misses her bros and sisters when they are at school all day.

And I am excited to have a chance to teach these kids. And I am super excited to only do it once week every 2 months. :)

new look

A new look for the girls room anyway!

I was so excited to find these CUTE bedspreads at Target for $14 for each set! Even in these "times of need", how could I pass that up?? :) I say... heck ya! They are the same print, but in the different colors... totally fitting for Bea (blue) and Adeline (pink)! CUTE! And it makes their room look so fun and clean. YAY!!

first tomato!

This is the first of MANY tomatoes! I wish they would ripen up gradually... maybe 5 at a time. BUT! 8 tomato plants all ripen up at the SAME TIME! And this year, I am not pregnant so I cant use the excuse of gagging every time I smell them so I can't can them. Bummer. I have a lot of work ahead of me. CANNING!! :)
