Sewing

I want to be good at sewing, but it is so hard. I know the more I sew the better I will get, but right now I hate it.

My sister Jeannine helped me cut out the skirt and I sewed the skirt. It took me forever!

Ultrasound and VCUG Testing

A few months back she got an UTI. Her doctor wanted her to get an ultrasound and VCUG test to make sure her kidneys are ok. We finally were able to get her appointment done today. It didn’t go too well, she cried the whole time. I felt so bad for her.

After her ultrasound they gave her this teddy bear

Right before her VCUG test.

After the testing the doctor told me they did find a little reflex on her left side. So, now I have to wait for her doctor to call and let me know what we need to do, I don’t think it is anything too serious. Also, after her test they let her pick out another teddy bear.

As soon as I put her in her car seat she wanted to go to sleep with the teddy bear, she has had a hard morning.

Guitar Hero and Barbeque

We had Andrea, Jon, Nathan, Eric, Paula, and Gavin over for a barbeque. We had a lot of fun and a lot of delicious food.

Eric and Paula brought their Guitar Hero over so we could all play. It was a lot of fun!!

Nathan’s bottle got all over her shirt, so, she had to borrow one of Brandon’s shirts.

Nathan and Gavin fighting over a cell phone, they are only about a month a part in age. Nathan looks so much older!!

5 Years

I just got my five year plaque at work; I work at Nordstrom in Customer Service. It is crazy that I have been there for five years.

Update on Grass

Grass is growing in, but there are bare spots. Brandon put more grass seed down, so, hopefully more grass will grow in.

Favorite drink

I love ice cold Pero with Torani, my sister Jeannine got me on this.

Mickey Mouse

Kaitlyn loves the Mickey Mouse Club House, she calls them her friends

I got this plate at Wal-Mart and Kaitlyn loves eating out of it. She is the hardest child to get to eat. She gets so distracted.

She always does silly faces when taking pictures; she is just like her dad!!

My hands can help!

At church Kaitlyn colored this hand and she was so proud of it. Ever since Kaitlyn started nursery (she is now in primary) I have saved and scrapbook all of her pictures. Monday I went to scrapbook Kaitlyn’s picture and I could not find it, so, I asked her where it went. She would not answer me. I looked everywhere for it. Yes, I’m crazy when it comes to keeping Kaitlyn’s art work. Later on that day when I was cooking I open this drawer and found it. She loves to help me cook. As the pictures say, ‘My hands can help!’ Kaitlyn is a wonderful helper.

Material

One of my friends at work she gave me this bag and it is full of wonderful material. I’m so excited to start sewing cute things for my girls.

Sedona

Mother’s Day weekend our family went up to Sedona for a day. We had tons of fun! On the way up to Sedona the girls fell asleep.

We ate lunch at Open Range Grille & Tavern Restaurant

Kaitlyn loves Sponge bob

On the way home the girls were so worn out

Backyard

After living in our house for 2 ½ years we are finally

working on our backyard. We are all excited. Brandon has a friend from our mission that is helping him. First we got our curbing done.

Jon was nice and offered to help Brandon and Sam with our backyard.

They planted grass seed; we will let you know how it grows in

Jewelry for my girls

I love making jewelry for my girls. I wanted to make a fun necklace, so, I made them one with blocks that spelled out their first name.
