It's All About Me Tee

Hayden is being spotlighted in March in his Kindergarten class so his teacher sent this home for him to fill out and decorate. I took a picture before he went to school with it.

Football Fun

Hayden has really enjoyed playing football. Each Saturday its been fun going to watch him. He only has one more game left so I made sure I took my camera today to get more pictures and a shot of his team and coach. His coach is Ryan Blair who is in our ward and 3 of his team mates are in our ward too.

There is love in Castlegate

Saturday night we went to our ward Valentine's party and our old Bishop made this little movie. We had lots of fun and I was happy Aaron was able to get out of the tax office a little early to be with me at this party. :)

Valentine Cards

I have never cared for Valentines day. But ever since I have had kids I have had so much fun doing cute pictures and cards for them. I also had the kids pose to make Aaron a card. Here is the cards I made for this Valentines.

Hayden passed these out in his Kindergarten class. I asked him what theme he wanted and he wanted to do Star War Lego's. It was kind of hard to think of something. So one day him and I looked up online some ideas. We saw a card that said "Yoda one for me" when I said it out loud Hayden said he liked it but I kept trying to think of something better. After a few days Hayden would still say "Yoda one for me" around the house and even made it into a song. So we went with that. He had the idea to take a picture with his little Yoda guy.

Emmie passed these out to her preschool class. I thought the saying "Owl always be your friend" was cute and Emmie liked her card once I showed it to her. Right now she isn't really into any characters so I just went with something girly for her. She loves girly stuff!

Paxton was the hard one! I think I tried about 5 different times for a few weeks to take a picture of him for his card. Every time I would put him down and pose him he would cry or walk away. Nothing made him happy and nothing made him smile. One day while the kids played outside I thought I would try again and keep him busy by holding something. It worked for a few minutes but I still never got a smile. But he is still a super cutie! I just went with a simple ABC's theme with "I love U" highlighted. Simple and sweet. With him holding that heart I almost wrote on their "Will work for Love" But it didn't sound appropriate. Ha ha!

With all the different times I tried to take pictures here are some out takes
Hayden tried 20 times to make a heart with his hands while he held Yoda, he just couldn't do it.
Emmie....Look at the camera please!
Paxton crying! I even gave him crackers and he would cry with those too.

He ignores me....
gets mad at me....
Breaks my Heart!!!!!

Then he gives me dirty looks......
All Frustrating at the time but cute and funny now.

Family Rules

I made this Subway Art family rules sign, printed it out on photo paper (at Costco) and modge pog it on scrapbook paper and a sheet of wood. Added some rolled fabric roses and done! So easy and cute! This is how mine turned out.

Sew in Love

A year ago me and my sister split the cost of a sewing machine. We both wanted one but didn't need one for many things and since we live by each other we figured we could share one pretty easily. Well, since we have bought it the machine has been at her house. If I needed something done I would just have her do it for me. Well, I ended up taking it the other day and I can't stop sewing. At first I fixed somethings that needed to be fixed then I went to trying simple projects. Its been so fun and almost every day I look for something else to try. I saw this pillow on a blog and had the idea to put this cute heart on a shirt. I found a stained shirt of Emmie's then found a piece of fabric that I had that matched and put this together. I folded the fabric in half and cut it into a heart.
I laid 2 hearts on the shirt so when it was done it would fray more. I sewed 6 lines down the heart.
Then I cut the fabric all the way up between stitches. After more washes it will fray more. To get it to fray a little for now I sprayed the heart with water and threw it in the dryer for 20 minutes. When Emmie got home from preschool I had her try it on, she loved it.


Here is the blog I got the idea from http://amerooniedesigns.blogspot.com/2011/01/faux-chenille-valentine-pillow.html

My silly boys make me laugh!

Photo shoot & my 1st Video

I took my niece and nephew out Sunday evening to take some pictures of them. Its been awhile since they have had some pictures done and for months my brother Ryan and I have tried to think of a good time to take them out for some pictures. We drove just down the street to this pretty green grassy field and got some great shots of these cute kids. When I got home and put the pictures on my lap top it was some super easy editing and I wanted to play with them more. I have always wanted to make a slide show movie so decided to give it a try. It was a lot easier then I thought. Once I had it all done I uploaded it to Youtube.com and sent it to my mom and brother to check it out. They were surprised and loved it. Here is some pictures of my cute niece and nephew Brooklyn and Austin.






Here is the video I made of them on Youtube

Hayden's 1st Flag Football game

Hayden has been playing soccer for a few years in our neigborhood sports club. This year they started flag football. He was real excited to play football. First thing I noticed was their is a lot more to know for football and extra time and effort that has to come from the coach. He has to talk about all the position, what they do and have plays ready for the game. Today Hayden was excited for his 1st game. He listen great to the coach and would do his plays but I could tell when it came down to the exact moment where Hayden was suppose to either run or grab a flag you could tell he had this confussed look on his face for a second. It was like he was thinking "what am I supppose to do???" and then he would do it. In soccer you just try to kick a ball and with football he had different rolls and he had to keep thinking. At half time when he was taking a break he told me "This is harder then it looks." But he did great, you couldn't tell at all he thought it was hard. And he even scored a touch down.

Before his game. His team is called the Jackhammers.

What a fun game! Hayden did great and his team won.
