Projects!

I have been on this crafting spree. I have a lot of items I want to create or craft. So I am doing them. Here are two that I have finished. I am in love with them both. I can kinda get to involed and let my self down, but I took my time. This first one I found on this website Freshly Picked. It is how to make a chandelier out of wax paper. The project cost me around $10. It looks great in the kid's room. I forgot to take a before picture, but the picture of the before light on the website is the same as the kid's light.
Mckenly loves it as well. Which is a good thing. It's not coming down. :)
My other project is one step from being done. I have a pair of old white shoes. I don't even remember where I bought them. I didn't want to throw them away. I was in blogland yesterday and I saw a post that someone painted their shoes. That is when I started googling Shoe Redo. I can to this. I found this great website Grosgrain and bam a redo for a flat. Just what I was looking for. I was givein a bag of fabric from a YW Leader for a YW project. In the pile of fabric was a yellow/white/brown printed fabric. I knew I wanted to save it for something fun. Lisa one of my friends wore yellow shoes to church last week. Since then I wanted yellow shoes. So the cute fabric became my new shoe. I did remember to take a before picture. This is sad, the shoe just needed to be in the trash.
I love flats as much as heels. I wore this out. So I started with taking off the ribbon and bow that went around the shoe. then I followed these steps here till I got this.

I still need to glue in the white fabric for the sole. I am also going to buy a ribbon to go around the top. The Mod Podge is kinda rough, but all in all I love my yellow shoes! More projects are to come

Busy Life!

I have been really bad at blogging. I love searching other blogs, but I never get around to posting on mine! One day I will be better, but today is not the day. Hehe... Just a update on our life. We have been enjoying everyday as it comes. In January we went to a new play ground in Park City. It is called Monkey Mountain. (my parents are friends with the owners) It was the grand opening we went to. The kids had a blast.

Cameron and Caleb tagged along. Mckenly loved that.
Cameron and Jasen just ran around and did their own thing.


After that we had our ultrasound of the Baby. The Baby is healthy as could be. We couldn't ask for anything better. The kids are super excited. Jasen is in love with my belly, and Mckenly has a pretend baby in her tummy. lol

Still planning on having this child July 4th. We will just see what happens.

I love the way kids learn and grow up. Mckenly has gotten a sassy attitude and Jasen is a copycat. But they love each other so much. They play okay together on most days. Hehe..


This past week we had the joy of going to the zoo with Norm, Amber, Millie and all the kids. Pictures are coming, stay tuned.
