My Very Own Weekend.

This last weekend was the "Sassy Scrapbooking Weekend" although this time I decided not to scrapbook. I had a lot of little projects hanging around my craft room waiting to be completed. Since I have really not even opened any of my scrapbook stuff since the last "SSW", I thought I would be happier to get all those nagging projects completed. So to start a little show and tell...

I ordered the vinyl lettering for these blocks about 18 months ago. It has been patiently waiting it's turn to be placed on some blocks. (I ordered the lettering before I discovered sawdustsanity.blogspot.com) CHECK!
Same for this vinyl lettering. Luckily Adam was in town and was able to cut out the many blocks of wood I needed to get the project done. CHECK!

I saw a bag like this up at Swiss Days. It was done by a company named sweetandshabbydesigns.blogspot.com. I bought two patterns for darling rag quilts, but I thought I could just make my own bag in the size I wanted. I like how it turned out.

This is the back of the bag. It took forever for me to get the bag completed. I was glad I didn't have my kids interupting me while I was working on it. I know there is no way I would have been able to get it completed in one day. BTW, ssshhhh it's a christmas present for Breeley! CHECK!

Every time we go up to the "SSW" we make a little cha cha for each other. This is also something I saw at Swiss Days. I couldn't afford to buy one for everyone (18.00 each, I think), so I just made one for everyone. I made a total of 10 and each of them were different for all the different personalities. I made mine to match my craft room. CHECK! (I made these before I even got to the retreat!) P.S. Thanks for the help at Lowes Lisanne!!!

I sewed Hagen's Weblos badge that he received on Wednesday night. Party for me, it usually takes me six months to get these darn things actually sewn on! CHECK!

I got all of Abell's badges sewn on also. These poor guys only had to wait two months before they were taken care of. CHECK!

OOPPS. Sorry the picture is sideways. I stitched this about sixish months ago. Finally got it sewnd up to make a pillow. Still need to make it to the store to buy some stuffing. CHECK!

I also did this one about six months ago. Isn't it super cute. I got the patterns at Ben Franklin. It is designed by Twin Stitchers I think. CHECK!

By Saturday night I had accomplished all my projects (minus one that was too big to start) so I used some fabric scraps to make a few headbands. They are comfortable and dang cute in my hair!

I had a great weekend and came home with tons accomplished. It feels really good.

Hey guess what??? This is my 100th post!

That is the life cycle.

I had just poured Addison a glass of apple juice after school. And this is the conversation we had.

Addison... "Mom, I know how they make apple juice."
Mom... "Really... tell me."
Addison... "They take an apple and squish it until all the juice comes out. Then they can eat what's left if they want. And that is the life cycle of the apple."
Mom... huummmm, the life cycle of the apple... I love you Addison!"

Sick

Breeley and I are calling in sick.

We are spending the day in bed watching Tinkerbell.

Maybe we will be better tomorrow, but maybe hopefully we wont be.

We are enjoying today a little too much.

Breeley's First Day!!!

Breeleys first day of Preschool!!!

Strike a pose!

This picture is a must. Every year.

Peaking over her shoulder. Is she darling or what???

Her new favorite hobby! Crossing monkey bars!!!


Breeley is so happy to be back in preschool. She loves Miss Ann. She loves that her friends are in her class. She loves everything about school. Especially the monkey bars!!!

Kinda cute... When I was doing Breeley's hair for school, she looked at my and said.

"Mom, the boys are going to be in school... and I am going to be in school.... You will be here all alone."

I said.... "Yes Breeley... it is okay. I will just clean and clean until you all come home."

She thought that would be okay.

I love her being gone, but boy do I miss her!!!!!!

7 Peaks!

Halle, Breeley and Roman had a fun time playing in the pool together!

I love the poses they pulled for the camera!
Addison had a lot of fun!

The girls loved the smuggled m&m's!!!

Addison was resting in the tubes!

Breeley fell asleep on the way home WHILE she was drawing on Abell's DS.

We had a lot of fun with Adams side of the family at Seven Peaks in Provo. Katie put the trip together and there were about 12 families (cousins, aunts, uncles) that went. We went down on a friday night and stayed at the Provo Marriott. Almost all of us went out to dinner at a great mexican restraunt that Jenny used to work at, then we swam the rest of the night. The next morning, the boys and Breeley stayed at the hotel while Jenny and I walked over to the Provo Farmers Market. It was a lot of fun and we saw some really cute stuff.

When it was finally time for the park to open, we went to Seven Peaks for the day. The big boys (notice they are not in any pictures) had fun going on all the big slides. I really didn't see them too much. (Just when they were hungry.) Addison had a ton of fun playing with cousins and so did Breeley. It was a great mini vacation!
