Quilt

Ok, so I made a Humpty Dumpty quilt a while ago and I had some left over fabric. So here's what I did. I am selling this on Etsy for $85. I designed it and had a lot of fun.

Pool

Well, we got an above ground pool and we really like it so far except for the fact that it is NOT LEVEL. We emptied it and put landscaping edging and 12 bags of sand under to fix it...but we didn't put enough. Next year we will have a better idea how to do it. other than that it works great. Maddie is taking swim lessons right now and it in level 4. yay! Kylie is trying to get use to the water so we will put her in lessons next summer. We haven't put Sarah in yet, she's not to sure of the water, and I don't really want diaper clad babes in the pool! It has been really really hot outside the past few weeks..mid 90's all day, so we haven't had a problem trying to get the water to heat up. it was already up to 95 degrees in the pool a few days ago...waaaay to hot. it's like a hot tub. Oh well. At least by 6pm the pool is covered in shade. Here's a few fun pics!

Maddie's School Program

Well, I am trying to get pictures off of my camera so we can have enough room on there....so here's some pics from Maddie's 1st Grade Program. Super cute!

BBQ

Ok, so Larry was so sweet when he finally agreed to buy the LifeTime 6' Folding Picnic Table at Costco. I pleaded my case thoroughly by adding that every where else it was being sold was at least $50 MORE. So, last night we had BBQ chicken and we enjoyed the evening OUTSIDE at the table! :)

Sarah's Smiles 8-10 weeks

It was so cute. Maddie & Kylie were getting tons of smiles out of Sarah...she was so worn out that within a few mins she was out cold! The GROW WITH ME pics are from her 10 week picture. I love how the bow covers her eyes! She fell asleep like that!

Clouds

Ok, so I LOVE cloud formations. Weird? Oh well! The first picture was about 7 am and then next with the white puffy clouds was around 2 pm the same day. So beautiful! What a wonderful creation that we take for granted!

Life at my house

**Blessing Dress pics & Mother's Day**

(This is from an email I sent out)...

Well, we made it to ten weeks and all is well. Saturday, I was sick, but thank goodness I am better today. Life goes on no matter how many kids you have! We had a great time with Family and friends for Sarah's Blessing, and also on Mother's Day.
Maddie is excited there are only 9 more days of school left. Kylie is excited for Joy School to start in the Fall. And Miss Sarah...she's just happy to get fed, changed, and get lots of attention. At her 2 mo. check up she was 10 lbs 10 oz. She loves to smile, but she's not laughing yet, and the girls love to hold her and make noises and faces to get a reaction out of her. She will even let me sleep for at least 6 hrs at night if I time it right. Sarah is super patient with all of us, especially ME! They ALL are! Larry is doing good with work. He works 4- 10 hr days, Mon, Tues, Wed, Sat. Sat & Mon are his killer days. He's been great chipping away at his honey-do-list!
We have been getting crazy weather lately. The lows are in the 70's and highs are already in the 90's. We had a few small tornadoes touch down about 30 miles south of us. The kids have the drills in school. I guess Maddie's SAFE place in school is the BOYS bathroom...that's another story! We haven't had hail here yet, thank goodness!
Me...well, of course I stay busy! I have had a few orders for bows, and baby stuff from return clients (yay), and then even a new one who saw the back of my van!!! My ward has had a ton of babies and some more to come. So far there have been 5 babies born this year, and at least 2 are preggo right now. I have had fun making diaper cakes, burps, blankets, bows, etc. for them. I still TRY to keep up on the house, some days are better than others. People always say the 3rd kid throws you off....for me-not to much having the THIRD, but just the fact of having another baby. Maddie & Kylie are pretty patient and self sufficient, so that helps a TON! I am still baking (too much) and loving it. i have been trying to attempt homemade cupcakes....not too thrilled so far. I still prefer the boxes.

well, this is my life as of week 10 having 3 kids. We are excited for Summer (we will be finding lots of things to do indoors) and will accomodate any visitors we may get. We won't be traveling anytime soon. Sorry! We miss you all!
