Christmas in August

So Cute!




I started these stockings in January. I got the fronts all pieced together, but that was as far as I got, until this weekend. I decided to take a quilting class and I thought I had better finish the stockings before I start something new, so I got them out and finished them this weekend. (No names yet. I can't decide whether to stitch their names on myself or have someone machine embroider them on.) I was so proud of myself for finishing them (and I think they did turn out pretty cute, if I do say so myself!) that I decided to make Kaylee this headband I found instructions on someone else's blog. The headband turned out great too. Love them all!

The big 1-0!

This cake had gobs and gobs of frosting on it! But she loved it of course.

Darn, missed one.

Birthday's, Birthday's, Birthday's. Two weeks after Jack's B-day and it's time to celebrate Kay's. 10 years old, unbelieveable! She is growing up way too fast! Especially since I seems like it wasn't that long ago that I was 10. I love you Kaylee, your a wonderful daughter!

I can't believe my baby is 7 years old. He had a great Birthday party last month. The kids played carnival games and got tickets. Then they could use their tickets to buy prizes with to take home. I think they had a good time. I know I sure did!

Pool Party!

When our neighbors went out of town last month they told us we could use their pool. Boy, did we ever use their pool. It was so great being able to swim whenever we wanted. Most days we went over at least twice. I longed for the days growing up when we could swim all summer. Maybe someday we will have a pool of our own. (Hopefully before the kids are grown and gone! But doubtful!) Thanks, Lujans for letting us use your pool!

Kaylee decided that she should master the stilts while we were at my mom's. And she did!

Trip to Utah!

As soon as school was out for the summer the kids and I headed to Utah to visit Grandma, Great Grandma and Grandpa, Aunts, Uncles, and cousins. We stayed for two weeks. Joshua went to basketball camp at BYU the first week and had a blast. We are hoping that will give him an edge when he tries out for the Junior High basketball team. Above are some pics from that trip.
