Father's day card

I decided that I don't do too many masculine cards. This year, I made a slew of these cards for father's day (yes, only 3 father's to give to, but hopefully the others will sell in the future)

I would put the gift for Justin on here, but the blog is the opening page when we open the internet, so he would see it. I'll have to wait until AFTER he gets it on Sunday.

Evelyn helping with the corn

Evelyn has decided that she loves corn on the cob! So I decided to have her help me shuck it (my least favorite part). She did a great job.

part way into the first one, I think she realized what it was. She tentatively put it to her mouth to lick and then bite. She spit it out once she realized it didn't taste just right.

Girls camp pillow cases

Next month at girls camp, we have a scripture study time each day. We study the scriptures as a group and then this year we are associating a craft (or handout) each day. The 2nd day we are going to read about the first Vision (Joseph Smith) and then talk about how prayer can change our lives too. (our theme is Changed...For Good). So, we came up with the idea to embroider pillow cases. I came home on Sunday, and found some fabric that was big enough, made the pillow case and then during the next couple of days, stitched theis phrase. I think the girls will have a great time working on this! They can do it anytime and just sit and chat. .

Cousins!

It was finally warm enough to pull out the water slide. Justin's brother was in town all last week, and the cousins had a lot of fun getting together to play. Evie didn't ever slide on the slip'nslide, but she did go by the water spraying out and then dipped her toes in this little pool. Her cousins were so cute with her! She had a great time!

Evie & her cousin Brigham are not so sure about what's happening.

SUMMER BLOCKS

I trie some other colors for my summer blocks & family blocks. They sell for $10.

While Betsy was in town, we had a girl crafting day. Justin so generously cut out blocks so that we could each make a flag. I love how they all turned out! Way to go girls! Betsy also taought me how to make bows, and I am so excited about that.
