Spring Break

Spring break was upon us and we had no plans at all....until our friends the Owens' decided they would pick us up and take us to the 'valley of the sun'.  We had such a great time and are so glad that we have such good friends!  We went to the park....twice, dollar movie, Chick-fil-A...YUM, and the kids just played and played......what else would you do with 6 kids ages 5 and under?! =)

Look whooooo's 4.....

Emma's 4th Birthday.....so much fun!  She is just so cute and was so excited to have all the family come over and celebrate with us.  I found this cute little owl theme and we went with it!  I made her a cute little owl t-shirt with matching skirt and headband with a huge pink flower....so cute!  And of course I needed to do something for the boys, so I made them each an owl beanie.  They totally loved them!  Emma's big gift from us was the little pink kitchen I made for her out of an old side table.  Without much time or planning it turned out really well and she absolutely LOVES it and that's what counts!  All in all, it was a really fun party. =)  Thanks to everyone who came and made Emma's day very special.

Valentine's Day......

It's always so fun to have different holidays come up....the kids have now figured out that I like to give them fun little gifts for each one....and of course, Valentine's Day is no different.  I found this great tutorial for a 'Bullseye' from the movie ToyStory and knew immediately I would have to make it for the boys.  They absolutely LOVE that movie....all 3 of them!  I did change it a little with the legs, making them soft and stuffed instead of with wire.  Yes, they have slept with them every night. =)  The pattern for Emma's sock monkey I found here.  I have never made a sock monkey and turns out, they are made out of socks....who knew.....I didn't.  I also got them the cute little heart notebooks with their own pens, cute character socks & candy...but not too much.....they already have energy to spare. =) 

Valentine's Pictures......

I always like to take pictures of the kids and then make a cute Valentine card to send to everyone.  Well....this year I took the pictures but never got around to doing the card.  The kids weren't being too cooperative the day of our photo shoot, but I did manage to get some cute ones!

Yee Haw!

A 'Cowboy Party' for the best two boys I know!  Parker and Tucker were so excited for their birthday party this year...I wanted to make it really fun and memorable for them.  We decided that a 'Cowboy Party' was the way to go.  Daddy made the fun wanted poster as our invitation and I did the banner, cupcake picks and root beer labels.  All the guests were given a cowboy hat, bandanna and a sheriff's badge to wear.  We ate pizza, root beer floats, and of course the cupcakes.  The boys each got a new hat, cowboy boots, clothes, money, cap gun, and a set of walkie talkies.  It was a huge hit!  Thanks to all our guests for being such good sports and getting into our 'Cowboy' theme. =)

Growing up....

Parker and Tucker are just getting so big!  They are growing like little weeds.  All dressed up for church they look like two little missionaries....makes me want time to slow down so I can take in every moment.

Meet our Newest Sunbeam....

Emma just couldn't wait until she could go to Primary and be a 'Sunbeam'.  Emma said, 'I've learned everything in nursery and I need to go to my new class.'  How cute is that?!
