A baptism and a Birthday

The time was finally right for the twins to get baptised. I was asked to be the godmother of my niece Carly. I was so excited I am already the godmother of my nephew Caden. Sunday was a beautiful day for it the weather was amazing and everyone looked great all dressed up.

Carly wanted no part of being in that beautiful dress and being held by anyone but mom. She cried very loudly thought the whole thing. It was kind of comical when the priest kept asking if she wanted to take over and run the show or when he was like well that's not nice don't call me those names. At least he had a seance of humor.

When we were all done we went back to mom and dad's house to have taco's all the kids loved it. After lunch we went to the bowling alley for Caden's 4th birthday.

Caden wanted a Piggy party (he is such a farm boy at heart) he even asked me to make all the decorations for the party. I was not sure how all this pink piggy stuff was going to work out but I think it turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself.

I think my piggy ears and Piggy snout was the best decoration. I also think the big kids liked it as much as the little kids!

We had a amazing weekend and it was so fun to get to see family. It was nice to take a little break from our busy life and a weekend to slow down and enjoy the little things.

Crafty projects

I have been working on a few craft projects the past two weeks. I am going to post some pictures they are not going to have tutorials with them or anything but I want to show you all what I have been up to!

This is me and my sister working on a canvas that she asked me to help me her with. She says I got all the crafty genes in the family.

This is Mitch, Megan, and Brian trying to help figure out how to place the flower pedals on that onsie.

This is what it looks like when it is done. I love making these they are so so easy and so cute.


I am now starting to work on more blocks. I already have some orders for Christmas. I will do a blog post on my awesome blocks in a few days. Hope you enjoyed these pictures

Labor Day Weekend

This has been a fun and exciting weekend. First off Saturday I had to work and we were busy!!! Holiday weekends are always busy and that is a good thing in a little town with only one grocery store/gas station. Then Saturday night I had to kick my feet up and relax after the busy day. I some how and I am still not sure how I got my dear sweet hubby to do my feet. He was not sure what to do so I had to tell him what each tool was for and how to use it.

I took this picture on the down low he didn't know I was taking it and he may be a little mad if he found out I was showing this picture off (you know it's not so manly of him)

 

He even rubbed my feet!! So glad we were watching friends because he was more interested in watching than paying attention to how long he was rubbing my feet.

 

Sunday I got to sleep in (Brian didn't because he was on call so he was up most of the night) Then in the afternoon our good friends Mitch and Megan came over to stay for the night. We do not live very close so when we get together we always have a good time!

 

Megan and I made supper and got to crafting. I had some craft projects that I had to do for a few people and I loved having here around to help.(I will make a new post with those projects)

This was our yummy dinner. Lasagna and french bread.

And Mitch's favorite dessert better than sex cake!

Today we took it easy we slept in a bit and had a delish cherry butter braid for breakfast. The boys went to "the pizza ranch" for their fantasy football thing and that left me and Megan with a whole day to ourselves. We had lunch with the boys and then made a trip to Wal-Mart.

 

We had such a good time looking around and picking out school stuff for Megan and birthday stuff for my nephew. We always have something funny happen to us at Wal-Mart and today was no different. Most people would think our stories are crazy ( I know our husbands do) but we had a run in with a weird checker and Megan almost ran into him and all he could say was Hello! in a kind of creepy voice and had a creepy stare.

 

It is now around 6:30 and Mitch and Megan left for home. Now is the time....the dreaded Sunday night "oh crap we have work in the morning" Well I know it is Monday but it feels like Sunday because of the holiday. So I am trying to set myself up for the week ahead of me. I know 5am is going to come way to early.
