Happy BirthdayKatelyn!

We can't believe our little girl is a year old all ready! It really flew by! Katelyn has been such a joy to have in our lives we are so blessed!



This one loaded sideways, but its one of the only ones we took on her actual birthday!
with her birthday cupcake bow from alicia!



Here is the Birthday Girl in her cute fairy princess outfit I made her at her Party on Saturday!

She missed her nap so she was a little grumpy!

Got some good faces though!

and the back with the cute ribbon!

Oh, what shall I do?!

Once she saw that cupcake on her tray it was all over!

She REALLY wanted it!

And once she got it...!

She knew what to do with it! So cute! Loved watching her eat it!

So cute!

oh, and for those of you who gave advice on quilt designs, thank you very much! as you can see I made design 2 although many of you liked design 3 I didn't really like some of the colors together in that pattern. I'll have to make design 3 with a more limited pallet!

and a closer view!

Quilts and babys

All righty! I am trying to make a quilt for Katelyn for her birthday and I cant decide on a design... so if you have any feedback, let me know which one you like!
Design 1

Design 2

Also, I am watching Lindsey's little girl Emma!

Here are a few pics!

She's a cutie! Katelyn was trying to steal her bow!

such fun!

Katelyns getting So Big!

She was so cute this last weekend playing with Daddy's hat!
We went to Denver to the temple and to visit Charlie's cousins and got snowed in for a few days with Ryan and Alysha Cauffman and their new baby girl Chandly! It was still a lot of fun though! We're glad we went:)

Katelyn's first football game! GO POKES!!!

Crafts

Many, many projects!

This little curtain goes over a window in our door (it was a little creepy...) I didn't make it I just edited it a little to fit our window.

Well, I have been doing a lot of crafts lately. These are some curtains I made! and I was very excited! I found a great deal and got the fabric for like$3.00 a yard! WOO!

Below is a Highchair cover I made for Katelyn's seat it was really ugly before so I spruced it up a bit! I think it turned out really cute!

And these little guys are hilarious! I thought they were sooo cute they are called pee pee teepees! I made them for a cousin that is having a little boy soon! so cute! They are for diaper changes so you dont get sprayed by the little fellas!

And here we have some lovely bibs! They get a little better as you go down to some of my more recent ones!

The little lion is so cute! I just love 'em all! So fun!!!

This little beaded butterfly one I made for Katelyns Birthday. Some of the others I made for friends and family. I am selling them if anyone is interested. The more simple ones (above) are $3.00 ea. and the Applique ones are $5.00. so let me know!

VIDEO

This video cracked me up! Katelyn is a crazy girl!

Summer is Over!

This summer has flown by, and it has been sometime since we updated our blog.

So we are posting some pictures as a highlight of our summer.

Katelyn was not a fan of the cold water at the wading pool!

Our poor baby had thrush after we got back from Basing in June:( she got the violet dye treatment, but that didn't do it... it was very persistent and held on for almost a month, but eventually we licked it!

Fathers Day!

Yay Summer Days!!!

Updates and Mothers Day!

Well, for any of you who do not all ready know, our apartment's carpets are disgusting and urine covered... so after 5 weeks, a disgruntled letter, and a carpet man w/ a black light, they have finally come to the decision that then need to be riped out and disposed of like we told them in the beginning... (they are REALLY NASTY) anyway, we have to move out in order for them to replace them, but hopefully we can move back in and it will all be better in a few weeks. :)

Charlie is done with school for the semester! YAY!!! most of his little break between semesters we will be back in Basin because Jonathan (charlies baby brother!) is graduating high school! That's about it for updates...

Mothers Day!!!

Mothers Day was fun! My first Mothers Day! Charlie Took me out to diner Saturday night and made me breakfast Sunday morning :) He's a good one! and even though I started to get ready two hours early when Katelyn and Charlie were asleep, we were still a little late to our 2:00 church... It's surprisingly a hard time of day...

We took some pictures when we got home and Katelyn was making such cute goober faces! It was so funny!

Braxton LOVED Katelyn!!! He just couldn't get enough! So much love!











Hehe! She loved that water bottle for some reason...
























I was sooooo excited to see GREEN grass in Basin! It's a lot warmer there than it is here. So I put Katelyn down expecting her to love it and she HATED the grass she just cryed every time I put her down ... oh well, maybe someday...














I made a bunch of new bows with my sister Alicia! love it!





















and our little girl is still growing up way too fast! she has to sit up most of the time now - no more lounging in her chair!





















Charlie playing B-ball with Wayne and Michelle's boys!















It was also Ronda's Birthday!! She looked so pretty! You cant see it in this picture, but she was doing some firefighter training earlier that day and scorched her heavy duty name tag so bad it melted and twisted! That's some hot fire!!! woo!





















Oh! Little John Boy's all grown up and going to Prom! His date was Corrinne Cheatam, and the other couple is Hannah Cheatam and her date... I don't know his name so we'll just call him smiling boy!










The girls looked so pretty and I loved the flowers! Hannah's nails look so nice, too!













These are my most resent necklaces! I like them they look like lace!
