Happy Fathers Day!

For fathers day I got AJ this golf bag (super cool) I even managed to keep it a secret for almost a month but still ended up giving it to him a week early. I know we arent technically parents. we were close once and our bill was equal to three kids so I think it counts. plus any holiday is a good excuse for us to buy something for each other. I like it. I had the wonderful pro at Rupert order it for me, keep it at the clubhouse, and then at the right time help me give it to him. I told AJ for about a week that if he took me golfing I would give him his gift early. The weather was so lovely that I didn't know when he would be able to take me and I was going to be in Provo for a couple of days and then he decided to play in the Pro Am in Burley so whenever he could take me I was going for. He finally decided one night we were going so as soon as he left to come and get me I called the clubhouse and Bob switched out his clubs from his old bag to this new one. when we got there and he went in the little locker room to get his clubs(he has his own little locker where he leaves his clubs every night) he saw his bag. He was super excited and then I made him stand there and let me take a picture of his super cool bag. He got tons of compliments. I'm proud of myself for not telling him before I gave it to him and for getting him such a cool present that he actually wanted!

ABC's and 123's

These are the cards I made for faith for her birthday. Im so proud of them and she kind of likes them. mom and I were driving home from provo and she was looking at them in the back seat and it was so cute because she kept saying,"mom what color is this?" or "mom what letter is this?" hopefully she likes it more later, she is just barely starting to learn and have an interest in letters and numbers. we'll see im super proud of them and would love to make you a set. if you provide the paper pack (double sided please) an american crafts alphabet rub on set and 2 large rings. maybe we could trade something. I used the cricut for the backs and the slice for the letters and numbers. the violin, quilt, kite and umbrella I made myself because i didnt have anything cool from all of Terisas cartridges. (thank goodness she has a lot!)Thank you so much Terisa without her cartridges I wouldnt have been able to finish this project (technically I havent because I still havent finished my set which I am so glad I made one for myself)

Faith Turned TWO!!

Faith is super spoiled but we love her! For her birthday we made a flower cake obviously and she got a purse and shoes from nana, a baby from grandma, honey a build a bear dog from all of her favorite sisters that she loved, balls if you didnt notice and some serious a b c and 1 2 3 cards.

Happy Mothers Day (One Month Late!)

Before! I sanded and sanded and sanded and sanded. I didnt want slivers on my bum when I sat down nor did I want you to get a sliver if you ever came over to have a barbeque outside one night.

During. First Coat, Second Coat...
Third Coat, Fourth Coat, maybe fifth??

FINISHED PROJECT!!

AJ always teases me about how many projects I start but struggle finishing. {It is so true Ill tell you about them some day. I'm working on it but it is so hard for me for some reason. When I figure it out I will let you all know.} Anyways back to mothers day post... So he's been really letting me know these days how many projects I have so I have been trying to work really hard on finishing them one at a time. Well he brought me home a project to add to the overflowing pile for mothers day.(Sp this disease I have isnt entirely all my fault!) Which I love and I loved finishing it. This bench/picnic table has been sitting on our back porch for a month and I just finished it and cant wait to one day use it. They are two separate pieces that when put together is a picnic table and the tops can be folded down into benches. super nice. I love my wonderful and thoughtful husband!
