Special Day!!

Saturday was a great day. McKayla was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was such a special day. Thanks to all of you who came to support her on this day and thanks for the presents, cards, phone calls and thoughts of all of you. Thanks mom for speaking and sharing your testimony with her. She is a special spirit with lots of fire and we are excited to she the growth that she makes in her life. Thanks Todd for being worthy to hold the priesthood and baptize her. Most of all thanks to my Heavenly Father who has trusted her in my care while on the earth. I love you McKayla and hope that your testimony will grow strong and you will have the courage to choose what is right.

Birthday Girl!

This past weekend was a fun but busy one. McKayla got to celebrate her 8th birthday for two days. Spoiled!!
On Friday after school she had a really fun friend party. She invited some friends from school and the neighborhood. She had a cooking party. I made cute little valentine aprons (thanks Janine for the heart material) then they got to make sugar cookies. After they cooled we decorated then and had ice-cream with them. Then we got to dip strawberries in chocolate. YUMMY!

Friday night the cousins got to come over and have a sleepover. We had pizza and ice-cream then we painted our nails and put glitter on them. Opened present then they just hung out and didn't fall asleep until after midnight except Jade who is just like her dad always the first one asleep. They were up early around 7:00a.m. and we had strawberry crepes for breakfast. YUMMY! The cousins all went home by 11:30a.m. but Jade got to stay and play until 3:30p.m.

It was a great weekend and we love McKayla so much she is so fun and loves everyone. We love you Kayla and can't wait for the 28th when you get to be baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Thank heaven for sisters!!!

Well this has been a tough winter and i've been feeling a little blue along with so many others I know. My sister Jenny Cox is so amazing. She lives in Logan so I don't see her very often mostly when there is a family thing. She called me last thursday and asked what I was doing that day and I said nothing until Young Womens that night. She asked if I wanted to go to lunch I said oh are you going to be down here and she said yes. I asked why she would be down this way and she said to take you to lunch. I love her so much it was just what I needed. She then called so other family and we had a great lunch at the Olive Garden. YUM YUM!!!!

There was Jenny, Kylee, my mom, my dad, Sarah and Glen and Allie and Me and Cambree it was GREAT!!! I love you all!!

Not much going on

Not much to blog about. Life has sure slowed down since december. Todd started his new job yesterday and we are praying that it treats us well. Getting tired of this 3 year ich. Ready for something to stick and truely support our family. So everyone pray that Todd will do great. As for me the apron buisness is on hold for a short while till the funds are properly there to start it up right. However I did sell 2 more today (thanks Tori) and so that will put a little more food in our mouths. The kids are doing good other than Marcus who has had a nasty cough for about 5 days. Has missed 3 days of school we will cross our fingers that tomorrow he will be good enough to send him back. Take care everyone stay safe and love everyone around you!!!

Snow anyone?

16 plus inches of snow. This is on my back deck and it is still snowing here in PG. We got about 10 inches since yesterday. It is much needed snow and will be benificial for us this summer but come on is it winter or what. It's been years since wev'e had such big snow storms.

Look at my patio furniture. CRAZY!!

This snow is from this storm a good 10 - 12 inches.

Sewing lessons

Ever since I started sewing all the aprons in december McKayla has been begging me to teach her how to sew and I would keep telling her later. Well today she asked again and so I told her yes. She was so happy. Here are some pictures of the fun project. We started simple and taught her how to make a bag. We cut it out and then with a little guidance she sewed it together. She did a good job and with a little practice she will be great.

Slowly feeding it through the machine. Watch your fingers!

She was so focused during this process and if you know Kayla that takes alot to sit that still and focus.

What do you think?

So I went to the temple yesterday with my sisters and brother n law (thanks Maria for setting that up) and when I was in the session this pattern POPPED into my head and it keeps bugging me so this morning I said ok I'm going to try and put whats in my head into action. There are a couple of things that I'm going to tweek but for the most part it's pretty much what was in my head. Tell me what you guys think and if I should sell this pattern. Each of the tiers are layered and it is all still double backed they are not connected they are all loose. There are no pockets I just don't know where I would put one. So what do you think?
