YW graduation gift

Shelly came up with a cute grad gift for our 2 young women leaving us! It is a bowl full of popcorn and treats; enough for a party! It is for their first movie night as a college student. They turned out fun!

Birthday blocks idea

This is so adorable! Birthday blocks that hold balloons. I'm off to make one!! :)

wreath made with book pages

This is the wreath I made today. I made another with green paper flowers & ribbon too, but I had already taken this picture. It is made out of book pages cut into strips and then the fan flowers with buttons on them. I pulled a stick from the yard and wasn't too sure about it! What do you think?

Memorial day 2010

We went fishing to Strawberry yesterday. Evie actually did pretty good until about 2 hours after her naptime. She was the only one who caught a fish the entire day!! Well, with grandpa & dad's help, of course. She reeled in the fish and then just stared at it!

What a doll!

My two loves: Aren't they both adorable!!!??!

She loved to reel in the line.

Evelyn cleaning!

Evelyn loves to play in the car by herself. Whenever I go to take her out of her seat, she says: Bye mom (not bye for her, but bye for me to leave!). Anyway, since she wanted to play in there a little longer, I decided to clean out the car. So, I got all the trash out, vacumed, and then proceeded to wash the dashboard. She grabbed a wiper, and for the next few minutes (like 10) she washed the dashboard just like me! I was done and gone while she was still cleaning away! Ah, a girl after my own heart!

Picture frame craft

Today, I made this picture frame craft. It was a wood pictureframe that I purchased last week at Robert's going-out-of-business sale. I mod podged cute brown & cream polka-dot paper on the front and then cut FAMILY with my cricut onto vinyl. Then, put that on brown paper where the picture usually goes. I love how it turned out.

I then used the xyron to adhere the ribbon, and glue dots to adhere the bow I made. I love how it turned out!

Evelyn & Corn on the Cob

We had dinner at Kristel & John's on Sunday, and Evie, Grandpa & Jackie had this shot down. So cute!

Evelyn ate her first corn on the cob (and yes, the diaper showed proof of it too!). It was so darling watching her eat it. When we had it again a couple days later, she would finally hold it on her own. She got some really good bites too with her little teeth!

She LOVED it! I think both the flavor & the novelty of getting it off the cob!
