Clean up Clean up....



So we were going to bed and Aaron and I look up the stairwell to see it covered in socks. Oaklee had opened the new bags of socks and thrown them all down the stairs. She was even carrying one of the bags like a little purse. She is so funny!

It's official...We are moving!!!

This is the beautiful Logan LDS Temple and from our new place you can see it from the front yard. We have never been so excited about a move before and we cannot wait to experience all of the new things the Lord has in store for us. We are totally in love with our new landlords (Thanks Bryce and Tessa). They are so dang cute and we are going to have a blast. Aaron's friends from baseball live up there too and they are so fun!!! We can't wait for a new chapter of our life to begin and fun friends to stay up late with and play board games ha ha. Oh Aaron will also be in a BASEBALL league again this summer. No matter how hard I try I can't escape that Beautiful sport. ha ha. Life is good and we are so psyched!!!

Latest project...

My Skirt...
The back.
The front.
Pattern close up.
All together.
Ignore my topless adorable daughter. I really do dress her, I promise.

Have I said yet that I love sewing!? I think that I have several times. I recently made my mother a quilt for her birthday which I cannot display because I want to somewhat surprise her but I will just tell you it is the cutest dang thing I have ever made (besides this skirt). I made this out of the left over cloth from my mom's quilt. I saw a similar skirt on one of my kids at primary and wanted to replicate it. I think it turned out pretty dang good for something off the top of my head and no pattern. Oak will look so cute on Sunday. I wish I was as cute and little as she is, then maybe I could wear little skirts too.

She is her father's child!




So anyone who knows Aaron really well knows that he is so fascinated by the newest and greatest electronic anything. His new love is his Ipod Nano. He will literally spend 2 hours at a time playing games and making videos of Oak on it and the rest of the day he listens to his music and radio on it. Needless to say "The apple never falls to far from the tree." , because Oak loves the Nano too obviously. She is so dang cute!!!

My Hobby

The complete package.
The Back.
The flower and bow close up.
The Front of the Purse.

I love my sewing machine. I love creating things off the top of my head and I love making these fun things for the people I love. I made this out of some old jeans and scrap cloth. This is a purse I just finished for my visiting teaching companion. She rocks and I think this purse does too! Enjoy!

New Year Re-Vamped





This NEw YeAR has me feeling so EnErGIzed and so StROng. 2009 was a really difficult year and I so look forward to a nEw and BeTTeR year. I want to make this my Best year for my Family and myself. Still working out and going strong and I just have to say, I am loving my progress. Aaron is working out too and he is doing great. I started school on Jan. 2 and am now on the fast track to receiving my teaching degree and I can't wait. Aaron is continuing his Engineering degree on the 11th. I am so proud of him. He got straight A's last semester. I love bragging about him(even though I know I am embarrassing). MY HUSBAND ROCKS!!! Oaklee is getting so big and so sASsY! She is her own women and by golly she is on a mission whether for the day that be trashing the living room, dressing up in our laundry, or her new recent favorite, trying to take off all of her clothes by herself. She is a gosh dang hoot! Just to let you all know too, I really do get her dressed and do her hair, just not for these pictures. She is talking up a storm too. If ya want to hear it, come visit us. We are always wanting visitors from the ones we love. All in all we are doing gReAt and ChEErs to a new and wonderful year in 2010!!!
