Sew what!

Of course we needed a matching hairbow!

Done taking pictures

Oh my goodness I can't stop! I am becoming obsessed with sewing. Last week I made Maycie a new dress for church I can't get over how adorable she looked in it. I made her a few other new ones in the past month with a different pattern but for some reason cant find any pictures of them so that post will come soon. I am currently working on matching dresses for the girls but if I continue to sew every night I think Adam will throw my machine out the window....lol. Maybe I should let him do that because the new one I want is on sale this week........hmmmmm

Madilyns blessing was such a special day. Everyone was able to come and share in this celebration with us. After the blessing we had everyone over for lunch and it was so fun. We are so happy to have Madilyn as a part of our family and we are so excited that we have such a great family to share her with.

A little update

I am still alive!
This is her mad face........

Grayson trying to make her smile.

If words could only describe how much love Madi has brought into our home I would write them down but I really cannot tell you how much I love this little girl. She has been such a blessing and I feel like now that I know how fast they grow up I am truly able to cherish every moment with her. I have managed to get back to working a few nights a week but that doesn't come without a little anxiety. I hate having to leave her and all I want to do while I am gone is hurry home and kiss her little face. The kids are so loving and great with her. They help me out so much and I really couldn't have asked for a better bunch of kiddos, not saying they are perfect. This week alone they have, made it snow in my craft room (that requires taking a bag of batting and tearing into a million pieces and then throwing it everywhere), colored all over the walls in the boys bedroom after I spent 2 hours last week with my favorite Mr.clean eraser getting all of the marks off of their walls, broken Maycies bed doing "tricks" on it, and eaten and entire jar of peanut butter and 2 loaves of bread for breakfast this morning, all topped with a little ice cream and yes they left the ice cream out on the table to melt everywhere. With all of that being said I think we are doing good. Life is a little crazy sometimes but we are defiantly getting through.

4th of July

For the 4th of July this year I think we celebrated for like 3 days straight. Saturday morning we headed to Grantsville to watch the parade with my parents and sister. They have in the past taken the kids to this parade every 4th of July but this was the first year I went with them. The cars throw candy and toys to the kids and it was hilarious to watch their faces light up everytime they would get a new treat. We told them that if they waived at all of the cars that passed they would get more candy and so after about an hour into the parade Grayson started to complain that his arm was hurting from waiving so much, but every car that came by he just kept waivig and waiving. That night we went up to Adams parents and did fireworks. Sunday we went to my parents for a BBQ and fireworks and the on Monday we decided to watch the local fireworks show out of our top story window. We made some great memories this year and had so much fun.

Maycie is 5!

Aunt Manon made Maycie a cute butterfly cake for her!

So my Maycie turned 5 a week after Madi was born. Adams company party was at Lagoon and it happend to be the same week as her birthday and we didn't know if Madi would be out of the hospital for her birthday so we celebrated it at Lagoon a few days early. We all had so much fun. It was a cold and rainy day but we managed to have fun. The kids had a blast and they were much more brave than last year, I had so much fun just watching their excitement as they got on and off each ride. A couple days later we had a pool party at Adams parents and did the whole cake and present part of her birthday. We thought getting her a baby carrier and new dolls would be the perfect gift and boy were we right!
