Car seat canopy

Our baby boy is due January 18. I saw these car seat canopies and knew I had to make one. Matthew helped me pick out material. It was easy and fun. Here is the link to instructions I used: http://just-because-i-am-me.blogspot.com/2010/02/car-seat-canopy-tutorial.html?m=1

Erika loses first tooth.

Erika is 6 and finally had a loose tooth. She was crying because it hurt and I think she was scared to have it pulled out. I just pulled it out for her. She is happy now.

More Easter pics

I made each girl an Easter dress. I made Matthew a shirt and pants and tie. I still need to make My skirt.

Easter 2012

We had a wonderful Easter. The kids had fun at an egg hunt at grandmas and grandpas house on Saturday.
Grace was there and that was fun for the girls. We had a good dinner on Sunday. Sue, Wes, Jessica, Jeff,Ellen, Emily, Alisha, mom, dad, Clint, Irish, Chaz, jerri and haydence all came. Dr. Jeff had to help Erika because Matthew threw sand in her eyes.

Pinterest

If you haven't heard of pinterest, then you are missing out. It is a  website where people post crafts, recipes, idea, etc. You can repin them to your account and also click on them to see more about them. I absolutely love it! I am finding so many wonderfully clever ideas for cards, recipes, sewing projects, holidays, home remedies, kid stuff, etc. I am finding so many that I am overwhelmed of what to do first. I decided that I need to print out pictures and instructions of each I want to do and put them in sheet protectors in a binder under categories so I can flip through and see what I want to do .   If you haven't checked it out, do it. ;)

New Family Tradition

I have heard of other families having family dinner once a month. I wanted to do this too. So when my mom and Dad returned from their mission to Peru in September I discussed this with them. They thought it was great! I volunteered our house for the first one. We decided on the 3rd sunday of each month at 6 pm. We will have waffles each time and everyone will bring their waffle irons to make the dinner faster. We got together last night. A few  families didn't make it  and we missed them. Hopefully they will make it next time. We enjoyed our waffles and eggs, talking, and  having a lesson on what we are thankful for since this week is Thanksgiving. It went great and it made good memories. It also made us clean our house better for the occasion. I'm pooped!
