Camping

We went camping with some familys in our ward... such a blast!

Thursday afternoon we arrived and hung out with two families, the Proudlocks and Renos
Friday morning JT joined us and the rest of the families. We had fun playing in the field and just playin around.

Kenzie got bit by a wasp! her face actually swelled up even worse than this before it got better. Poor girl! She was super good though!

This is Kenzie's good friend Alex who camped next to us. Kenzie just loves playing with this kid... look how handsome he is!

After a long day... Kenz crashed!

And all the grownups enjoyed hangin out around the campfire!

Saturday morning we went down to the beach to look at all the clams, oysters and starfish

Jalie is sooo fun! just smiling at everything!
Kenz and I

JT and Me!
It was a fun camping trip but we are glad to be home!

The Zoo

Our friends the Bresnahan's have a zoo membership this year and since they are so awesome they brought us as guests! We had a blast!

Jake and Grace were really good with the goats... Kenz wanted nothing to do with them!

The hippo was fun


April posted on her blog about these silly playground toys... they ARE fun!! I want one!

Once again Kenz wanted nothing to do with the water area but Jake and Grace sure had fun!

Fun twisty slide

This pic cracks me up!! Kenz loved the Lemurs!

Baby's sleepin

Ha ha I don't know why but this face is what happens when you say to smile like Nemo!

Kenz and Grace were pretty good together in the wagon

We had a fun day, can't wait to check out the woodland park zoo next!

new dress!!

K I love love love how this simple dress turned out! my mom gave me another shirt that she didn't wear anymore and I made it into a very simple tank dress for kenz. Then I used this tutorial to add some fun roses to it. I think it turned out great!

Kenz was modeling it for me... ha ha so funny!

the back

the roses up close

it seriously took about 1 hour to make! and cost $0!! can't beat that!

another dresser

Okay I finished the other dresser for the girl's room. It turned out super cute! It was a cream color with gold trim before. It was pretty ugly. Now it totally fits the room!

Kenzie has been treating all her baby dolls and stuffed animals like real babies lately. It so cute. She changes the diapers and swaddles them and rocks them to sleep.
for those of you who don't follow my sister's blog... i have the cutest nephews ever!! here are her most recent pics! they live in idaho so we rarely see them, i miss them so much!

Landen is 16 months

and Logan is almost 4! i can't believe how big he is!
I'm finishing a dress I made for Kandis tonight. I'm really excited to send it to her and post a pic of her in it!

Re-style

So my mother gave me this beautiful shirt that she's too small for now that she's getting all skinny. I made a cute dress for Kenz... i really hope it fits her! I want to go get her out of bed to try it on right now!

Before

After (don't know why both pictures are crooked!)

Here are two more that I recently finished:

This is the most detail I've done on any one project so far.

K this one is not the cutest on the hanger but it's really cute on her

I have cute kids!

Sorry to brag but yeah my kids are cute... haha here are a few fun pics from this week

Kenz playing with the neighbor kids... Camilla and Jimmy (i don't know what happened to the bottom of the pic?)


Kenzie reading Lion King to her sister (it was hot... kenz wouldn't wear clothes)

Jalie got cereal just a couple hours ago for the first time. She was mad at first because she was starving (or so she thought) and just wanted mommy's milk but then she realised it was food and was all for it! Her little look at the end was priceless! (the bib has stains on it from Kenz, I wasn't feeding her chocolate!)

Projects

I refinished a free dresser... it's not quite done yet, I need to get more pink for the bottom. Kenz loves the ABC's. It looks really good in their room so far. Now I need to do the other dresser and hutch to match somehow...???

I have been using our dining room table for all my sewing projects. I never put the stuff away because I'm always working on something. Well it just looked so junky so I put it in our bedroom. We never used it to eat on anyways...so now our dining area is where all the baby stuff goes. Now our living room looks much less cluttered!!

Jalie's first outfit made by mommy! Its so cute on her... and still alittle big so hopefully it will last through the summer. The only reason I haven't made much for her is cuz i know she'll grow out of it fast and she has sooo many hand-me-downs from Kenz....it's not because I don't love her!! ha ha I was feeling guilty for only making Kenz dresses!

Showing off the bloomers....my first pair and they are totally cute!!

I made my grandma an apron in home ec class in jr high. She uses it all the time and it's sooo ugly! So her birthday is this month and I made her a new one! It turned out so pretty. Completely reversable. I hope she likes it! Here's the online tutorial I used.

I'm trying it on for size!
