A Baby Shower for a friend

Saturday i had a baby shower for a friend in my backyard. A gal that i was doing the shower with had some fun ideas. We decorated the back patio with a Welcome Baby Banner. The letters were embroidered on burp/diaper cloths -

We had fun making a diaper cake together and we made some roses with baby washcloths-

We had a muffin, fruit (a watermelon baby carriage), and juice breakfast -

We played a fun game. You stand and hold a piece of paper behind your back and you have fifty seconds to tear out a baby and the soon to be mommy gets to choose which baby will look like hers. i accidentally beheaded my paper baby, oops ;) I was very impressed with some of the other babies! (A thank you to my friend Rosie for the fun game and for helping with the shower ;)-


That is just a few highlights! The gal in the white is the other lady i did the shower with and she was so amazing with everything she put together! Tons of cute ideas!

Last but not least, the latest pictures of my baby. She already knows how to smile for the camera!

O' how i love this little girl!

God Bless America

Today i came across a scripture found in -

1 Timothy Chapter 2 verses 1&2

It reads "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty"

As i read that scripture i pondered about how i need to pray more often for our country and our leaders, that we may continue to live in peace and that they may lead with godliness and honesty! O' how we need that for our country and if we pray and trust in God it will happen!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I hope and pray for my children to have a journey in life of conquering there individual pursuits of happiness. And that is made possible by knowing and feeling of how blessed they are to be Americans and acknowledging all that has been done to allow them to be free.

We have so much to be grateful for!!

Happy 4th of July

ALL AMERICAN CUTIE!

(notice the chubby thighs, do you think she is getting enough milk?)

We went with some friends this morning and enjoyed a small town parade! The kids waved there flags and had a good time collecting candy! It was a short and sweet parade! My favorite part were the little ponies. Some day i would love to have a little Pony, a pig and a lamb, who knows maybe it will happen, it's fun to think about :) On the agenda for later is roasting marshmallows and watching fireworks and the kids bought some sparklers and pop its!

Have a great day!!!

Shoshone Falls

Our little Sweet P. has learned how to whistle this month 6/09! She is so cute, she walks around the house whistling and will whistle when she wants to get our attention! She sure is growing up! She loves being a BIG sister!

And i can't believe this little man is starting school in less than two months. He has had a fun month but has also had his share of sad things. His fish Nemo died when we were gone on vacation. That gold fish lived for 2 and a half years!! (i thought it would only live for a couple weeks). AND one night Dallin was playing around after a bath and was running with a q-tip in his ear, jumped on his bed side ways and punctured a hole in his eardrum. Yah, it happens, and a course to my kid :) Drama, Drama!~We will find out in a month whether he needs to have a surgery to patch the hole. We are hoping and praying that it will heal on it's own. He has a 50/50 chance!

Rolo's Birthday 6-1-09

The kids had fun planning their Daddy's Birthday. We met him at the park for lunch, he came home from work and Dallin drew pictures for a scavenger hunt for his Daddy to find his gifts (Water guns and frogs). We made Rolo a Filipino dinner (Chicken Curry) and had Ice cream Sundaes with sprinkles and a cherry on top!

From the first night home this little girl loves holding her Daddy's hand!!!

These kids sure do LOVE their Daddy! And he truly is the Best!
