Crafty Crap....

Growing up my mom always had a craft room. There was so much stuff in there that we dubbed it the "crap" room. As an adult I totally understand how that can happen. I have so many unfinished or not even started projects. Since I don't have space to donate it all too I have a "crap" closet. And don't even ask for pictures on this cram full closet. However, this weekend I did one of those projects in my craft closet. A few weeks ago I got this way cute coordinating fabric.


Cute huh?


So there it sat in my "crap" closet until I could figure out just the right thing to make. I knew I wanted ruffles so I googled a few ideas. I saw a picture of something I loved made a pattern and wahla!!


This will be so cute on Amelia.

Because I had leftover fabric I couldn't waste it. I decided Amelia's cute cousin should have a dress too so I whipped this one up! Amelia helped me model Ambree's dress.



Love this one too. We are going to Idaho for a wedding so we are going to have to take some cute pics in beautiful Victor!!


P.S. ignore my halfway reupholstered chair and if you blow the picture up ignore Amelia's dirty face.

Water Baby!

Look how much fun Amelia had at Grandma's in the sprinkler!



Who would have thought that this little girl would ever love the water? If you know her at all you would know that it has only been a few weeks since she wouldn't scream in the bathtub! Now she can't get enough of it. Amelia was the only brave grandbaby at Grandma's. None of her bigger cousins would get wet, look at our little water baby!!

Hey look! I have been spotted!!

So I mentioned I subbed in the sunbeam class on Sunday. Well in all my time actually teaching the sunbeams before Amelia was born I never had so many funny things said to me during the 2 hours! First of all the lesson was on being thankful for smell and taste. After showing the 2 sunbeams that were there all the animal noses I showed a picture of a "people" nose. I said the picture was just like their nose and like mine. The cutest girl goes NO!! Your nose is different it has spots on it! LOL. Ok so no hidden fact I am covered in freckles. When we drew pictures of ourselves she insisted that I didn't put enough spots on it. So of course they had to add more, and more, and yes even more. I didn't realize my spots were so entertaining!! After pictures she kept looking at my arms and legs and even trying to look under my shirt for my many spots! Oh man. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO funny!

These 10 little things...

Why is it that on Sunday everything goes missing? I have compiled a list of 10 things that I have noticed are ALWAYS missing on Sunday.

1. Amelia's shoes-seriously out of 4 pairs why can't I find 2 of any?
2. A slip- I only have one and I never seem to put it in the same place twice.
3. Sippy cup- Probably the biggest neccessity for a 3 hour block. This one I blame all on Amelia for carting it around the house!
4. Scriptures- Where did we read them last, living room? bedroom? (crap did I just giveaway how lousy I am at reading my scriptures?)
5. Nylons- I usually find 5 pairs all with runs in them. (truth be told I detest nylons so I usually don't look very hard for these)
6. Josh's Church Shoes- I can't believe I can make a list this long. I bet you think my house is incredibly filthy!
7. Hairspray- Why don't I just do my hair in the bathroom?
8. Josh's church pants- He never wants to wear the pants that are clean!!
9. Church toys- I can only find the noisy obnoxious toys, once again Amelia's fault she stuffs her toys in every crack, crevice, and drawer!
10. Car Keys- Why do they always run away? Now this isn't a Sunday only thing we are constantly losing our car keys. If I wasn't always running on a clock 15 minutes behind we would just walk to church. But as I listed above I spend all my time looking for everything!!

Today was no exception! In fact I had to sub for the sunbeam class so in addition to running behind I had a lesson to plan. Since our sacrament meeting is last Primary is first. So I HAD to be on time. Josh stayed home and looked for Amelia's other shoe and her sippy cup and joined church around Sunday School time. Maybe next Saturday I will set things out and be all ready for Sunday.................... OK probably not.

OOOOoooPpps. My bad.

So apparently my bitter statement from my last post isn't all that flattering. So I recant.I am actually quite happy to be home with Amelia and so far this has been a good move in my life. To keep myself occupied the last couple days I have been working on advancing Amelia in the Parent Magazine Photo cover shoot. If she is one of the 10 finalists we get a trip to New York City to shoot a cover. You can vote once a day per computer or device you own. Such as your phone, tablet, netbook, laptop,etc... Here is the link.
