Valentine's Day Report

We had a great Valentine's Day this year. I did a little bit of decorating, just enough. The big hit this year was our Valentine's Tree. I wanted to really share this one because we enjoyed it so much. We all got to write on hearts what we loved about each other and then hung them on our tree. What I really like about the tree is that you can adapt it to any holiday. I'm thinking we could do a Secret Leprechaun Tree, filled with acts of service and kindness. hmmm Jonathen got really into this and even drew some pictures on his hearts for our enjoyement (so funny). For dinner we had pizza pies, that's amore! And Jonathen's choice for a movie was The Princess Bride (he really is a romantic, gets it from his Dad).

Fun Things Good Things

Saturday Ted & Allison called us and invited us to with them to a Greek Fest, and so we went and met them at Old Navy (more on that in a minute). We arrived and had delicious Greek food and pastries. Yum! I only wish I had I bigger stomach so I could eat more. While there, some friends of Allison and Ted showed up, Tim and Jean. They had one of the cutest babies I have ever seen, baby Weston. I realized that I didn't take any pictures at the Greek Fest so I stole a picture from Jean :) Jean and West will be joining us at Karaoke night, who can get enough of this cutie's smile? not me

I started on a little project a few days ago. A few months back I was at Ross looking through the dresses and while looking at those strappy sun dresses, all I could see were aprons. I then made Krisha come with me and I got physically sick because there were so many cute apron possibilities and limited amount of moola. So I settled on two and they have been hanging up the whole summer. No longer, I finished one late last night. I got home from church and I wanted to wear it all day, but I had to take it off and go to a meeting :( So seriously, if you want to make a cute apron go to Ross, $12.99 for a dress or if you are fortunate like me, you can get a reduced price one for like $6.99! Plus it's an instant boost, of course I would love to be involved in some domestic duties wearing this beauty.

"I'm so sad, please make me into something wearable."

I even had left over fabric I can use to make matching hot pads

(Mike was able to capture how ecstatic I was)

see the petticoat underneath

Back to Old Navy, THANK YOU Allison for making us meet you there! See the skirt I wore to church, I found it at Old Navy for 50% off, and it matched my new favorite THRIFTED Sweater (I've been wearing it so much, it's those cute buttons). I love the print on the skirt and the way it feels. It reminds me of an antique scarf.

P.S. Krisha please post some pictues of your apron (it's red bandana print for this cowgirl!)

Father's Day 2008

I just wanted to wish my husband a Happy Father's day! We were so happy to pick up Jonathen Sunday morning so he could come celebrate with his Daddy. They both sang in sacrament meeting along with the senior primary. It was a wonderful day. Mike's parents came over for dinner, my brothers were there too. Diane, Tom and Krisha also came over. I was grateful that the food turned out like I planned and it was delicious. Thank you Jonathen for barbecuing the steaks! I wanted to share with everyone these fun Father's Day Cards. I found them on the Martha Stewart website and my friend Carol B. gave me a little refresher course. They would be cute cards for missionaries too (itty bitty name tags).
