Flowers!

Just wanted to share my simple flower arrangement for my front step. Tin can flower pots, I saw this Martha Stewart idea on the Today Show. 

Bucket/Sun Hat

Great face J!

J needed a new hat this year for summer to protect his adorable little ears.  This was a very fun easy project!

Monster Pants...

I found this adorable fabric at JoAnns, and knew I needed to made something with it!  So, all three boys got new pj pants from me (and tee-shirts to match) in their Easter baskets this year.  I only got photos of Chubbs, but the other two have identical pants (in their own sizes, of course; and short-sleeved, solid color tee-shirts to match-one yellow, the other blue).  I was pleased with how they turned out!

His shirt is PERFECT to go with the pants...I wished I could have found more in the larger sizes!

Easter Goose...on the Loose!

There was an Easter Goose on the loose in Mom's backyard after the kids finished their Easter egg hunt.  I'm not exactly sure who goosed Callie (Mom, maybe???)  but Callie was the guilty goose for Cami...

Pinterest Creations

 I needed a treat for my Stake YW Auxiliary Training meeting.  I wanted something that was cute and portable.  The Sister typically do not stand around and eat so we have started giving them something to pick up on the way out.  Cara recommended this idea on pinterest.  I made the chocolate chip cookie recipe listed in this pin.  I put the YW theme  for 2012 on card stock to jazz up the cookie as well as putting it on the water bottle label.  They turned out delicious and cute.  I gave the extra ones to Standley Lake Ward to sell in their YW Fundraiser Bake Sale for Camp the next day.

For today's Sunday dinner, Caylee made these cute little acorn cookies, another pinterest idea.  She melted some of the mini chocolate chips in a snack sized zip lock bag to use as the "glue" to hold it all together.  We got that idea from Celeste.  That is what she used to keep the Thanksgiving turkeys together.  Rod  told her the hershey kisses were too pointy to look like acorns, so Caylee rounded the tips to make them more life like.  Jordan came in and saw them.  His eyes lit up as he asked if he was allowed to eat them.  He was and he did!  They were a hit.  Good work Caylee.  Pinterest is fun!
