Wedding

What happens when your brother gets married and his fiance asks you to do the wedding flowers? You say yes...and then you freak out because, come on...It's her wedding day and you want things to be perfect and you don't feel adequate. But, then you realize that she's the most easy going person on the planet and she'll be okay if it's not PERFECT. Thanks for the opportunity, Erica. Love ya!

Chad's new talent

Chad surprised me with a BBQ for my birthday and invited some friends over. He cooked some shish-ka-bobs. Don't they look delicious? Thanks to everyone for making my birthday something special!

Ava is.....one?

Oh my goodness. I can't believe a year has passed since that horrible pregnancy ended and I delievered this beautiful sassy baby. She is such a momma's girl which can be hard at times, but a joy for me. She's developing her personality and I have a feeling she's going to be a jokester! We love her laugh and her smile; she's a treasure and a miracle.

A decade...

My little baby is 10. I can't believe a decade has past. It seems like yesterday that I was cleaning my tiny home and dressing her up in one of her zillion outfits; styling her hair then going out to the lawn to wait for dad to come home from work. It's been a good 10 years.

Super Saturday Earrings

Hello, Ladies

Here are the earrings for the Clinton 17th ward's Super Saturday on May 22nd. I don't have the cooresponding letters for each earring yet. I'll put them on soon. Look, and let your friends and family look who may be joining us for this day. You'll need to sign up at church and give your money to Angie Jensen.

The pictures are not great. Some of the metal looks gold...but it's all silver. This is the easiest jewlery to make. Not daunting at all!!

Erica's Wedding Shower

 

My brother, Dean is getting married. We're so happy for him. He's been lucky to find himself a beautiful girl to spend his life with. Erica is from California so we haven't been able to get to know her as well as we'd like. It has been great spending time with her and her daughter as we've planned the details of the wedding this last couple of months. Welcome to the family, Erica!

Hannah won #1 at the School Science Fair

By now, ya'll know we like gross things in our family. Hannah did a bacteria test on frequently used things in our home. She also wanted to see if that antibacterial sanitizer; or "hanitizer" as my girls call it, really works. The black outline inside the petri dishes is where the "hanitizer was squirted.

Oh, and just so you know...clean your computer keyboards and remote controls.
