2 Latest Crafts...

I made the blocks for our entryway table... I LOVE how they turned out! Check out the website...  http://www.thewoodconnection.com/ ...there are SO many cute block sayings! I also made my first diaper cake for a friends baby shower next week. Luckily I had Jen's help with both since I have never done either!! Oh...and that is our new kitchen table! I LOVE the bench and that it seats 6!! It's funny what we get excited about as we get older :)! Plus me being crafty is a stretch, but it was really fun!


Latest news...
I was called to Primary President about a month ago now so I have been pretty busy, but absolutely LOVING every minute of it!!!

Steve had the day off yesterday... there was a big fire here last night so he got called into work to sit with a cop at the fire all night after it got put out to make sure no one came on the scene. It was too late and dark to investigate and it was considered a crime scene because it was possible arson. He is pretty tired at work today I am sure since he had to stay awake all night and make sure no one came on to the property.

Fun Times...

This last weekend my sister came to visit on her way through to Utah!!! I love my sister! We had TONS of FUN!!

I forgot I took these pics until I just uploaded ones from this weekend, but had to post them because they are too cute. I got to babysit Tyler and Kayden and we had fun jumping on the bed, playing hide and go seek, and playing the guitar...Kayden is a fun kid! When we were jumping on the bed he said "take a picture of my high jumps"...too cute! He was trying so hard to show his best skills! Sorry Kayden... my pic doesn’t show your best skills. My flash was too slow :)

This was one of our conversations:) It started becuase he said something about his grandpa...

Me- Where does your grandpa live?

Kayden- Um...I don't know...he works.

Me-What does he do at work?

Kayden- Eats lunch.

Too funny! I love asking kids questions. They see their world so differently and it is too cute!!

He literally played the guitar for 45 min!! Can you tell he likes it?! I turned on my iPod and we played a ton of songs with our guitars "just like the music" as he put it :)

Recent happenings...

This week Steve's brothers' family came to visit! We loved having the company...it was tons of fun! I had to work during the day, but Steve and Brent got to go play racquetball and everyone had fun swimming too.

A while back, on an earlier post, I forgot to post this pic when family went to check out Steve's work...it was too cute not to post so sorry for all the fire pics...I just forgot to add my cute little nephew...he was so excited to try everything on!! It was so funny to watch him try to walk around...he would shuffle around and then tip over and we'd have to stand him back up becuase he couldn't move...too cute :)

This is just a random pic... I just thought it was funny. Steve was playing with Mr. Cawas and his tool set when we were at Brook and Jen's. He looks oh so good with Carter's safety glasses! :) I just missed getting a pic of Cawas wearing them...he wouldn't put them back on for the pic:)...oh well...next time! He usually pulls them down off his eyes and wears them over his nose and mouth because he can't see out of them...it's too cute to watch him play so intently with them halfway down his face:)
