Life is a....

Well yours may not be, but I definitely feel like mine is one right now. The last month has been in itself, a lot of ups and downs for me. For a lot of reasons, reasons I am not going to get into, I just never know what is going to hit me next. Don't get me wrong, I am SO BLESSED and the trials that I have right now are still very minor compared to what other people are going through right now. I just sometimes wonder when life can be "normal" again for me and especially for my friend, Amberly, who is having some health concerns. Can't we go back to the beginning of the summer when all we were worried about was which day to go to the pool and planning play dates and library story hour? Why do we have to deal with "real life adult problems". We are too young for this crap. I am too young to have "bumps" in my marriage and she is too young to have scary, scary health problems. All I know is that my faith will get me through anything life gives me. Thats all I can hang on to. And I feel much better when I am taking care of those around me. So everyone, when I demand to take your kids or to bring you dinner for some reason, just let me. It's more for me than it is for you. I love all ya'll :)

Addicted to.....

Fabric Flower Broaches.....can't you tell? (see below)

Another reason why I don't need anymore kids...can you imagine this girl with her own girl???? Ahhh, my hubby would be robbing banks probably :) Can't wait to wear these on my jackets this fall, my JCrew Jackie O Sweaters & maybe even on my hats :) We'll see how adventurous I get :)

Going to add a clip also to the backs. I cut the flowers with my Sizzix Big Shot (favorite crafting tool ever simple because of all of the materials it will cut.) Love them!

Cousins Camp







It is so much fun having my Mommy and Daddy living so close! I just can't believe it still! My mom has been planning on doing "Cousins Camp" when the grandkids turned 5 for as long as I can remember. This was our first year and she did it with my Aunt Barbara and my cousin Emily's 2 boys, Hayden and Tyson. These 3 boys are just best little buddies. I love it. The 2 brave grandmas headed up to Oakley, UT to my aunts cabin for 3 days of Bug fun :) Bugs were the theme this year and they had a blast as you can tell with all of the crafts. The grandmas went above and beyond. Their highlight was heading to Park City for a day (since they forgot the fishing poles) and doing the Alpine Slide and the grandmas both did the zip line down the mountain. How cool are these grandmas?? :) Love you, Cookie!

Happy 5th Birthday, Troy!




Guess who wanted a Halloween dress up Birthday party in August? You guessed it. My child :) We had a fun birthday party with 10 of his best friends. We have to limit the number these days cause the kid just has WAY too many friends, never a bad thing except when it comes to birthday party invitations. I can't believe I have been a mommy for 5 years, some days it feels like 50! But I wouldn't trade my little skeletons for anything. Happy Birthday, Troy Boy!
