What's happening these days

Ok, Once again, I have gotten caught up in the business of life and have not made documenting a priority.  So...this post will be an update of what has been happening lately.

Cournty came home from Spain.  This was a great day.

Claire Baby turned 1.  She had a confetti party.  

Got to have dates with this little peanut.

Photo shoot for Cali and her friends by her amazing photographer sister Brittny. Check out her blog to see her awesome work.  www.10baretoes.com

Bailey went to Jr. Prom.  Photos again by Brittny.  Bailey was beautiful and had an amazing time.

We had Easter and I made Chloe and Claire Easter Bunny dresses like ones my mom made for Jami and me when we were little.

More catch up posts to come.

Talk to you soon.

Craft Day for CraftHope Project 20

Hi Friends,

Let's get together and make some bibs for baby orphans in China!  Once again we are joining with CraftHope to share hope and love across the world.  See this link to read up on the story of why we are doing this and how our bibs will get to China.

We will be gathering together at my home on Sunday March 17th at 1:00 pm.  If you know how to sew, great!  Bring your sewing machine if you can.  If you don't know how to sew, that is great too.  Come help, cut, iron, hand sew or encourage.  If you want to bring some fabric, two bibs can be made from a fat quarter (this is a pre-cut measurement of fabric.)  You can find these at JoAnn's or any quilting store.

I will provide the terry cloth fabric for the back of the bibs and the velcro.

If you would like to join us, please comment below so I can get a count.

Hope you can join us.  We always have lots of fun!

Talk to you soon.

Family - One of those posts I started last year and who knows why I didn't post it!

We went to my nieces wedding last year. 

My mom, both sisters, brother-in-law, nieces and nephews all live in a small town in Oregon.  

We only get to see them once or twice a year.

I sure miss these guys and cherish the times when we get to see each other.  

It is always fun.  It is always crazy.  We always leave with great memories.

This is my nephew "Sumo".  He is fun squared.

This is my niece Becka's baby Ellie.  What a doll.

Chloe got to visit her cousins.  

She loves it and acts like she has she has been around them her whole life.

My beautiful niece Miranda.  She is my sister Jami's youngest daughter. 

Courtny getting ready for the wedding.

My sister Holly. She is a blast!  Everyone gathered at her house to get ready for the wedding.

Well...everyone gathers at her house for everything!

My sister Jami made these beautiful flower balls for the bridesmaids to carry down the isle. 

Jami is amazingly creative.

Me and Holly waiting for the wedding to start.  Unfortunately my sister Jami was at home changing.  

She was in the car with a crock pot full of chili on her way to the wedding when her son-in-law turned the corner and the pot of chili poured all over her ivory dress!  Can you imagine?  But within minutes, Jami was changed into a new dress and at the Armory as if nothing ever happened.  This is one of the best stories of the weekend.  Jami,  I hope it's been long enough for this story to be funny.   :)

My nephew Layton and his best girl Gloria.  Their wedding is coming up next year.

Holly and Sumo.

My nephews Landon and Sumo.  Two of the cutest guys I know!

My niece Brianna came with us from California to the wedding.  Bri, Cali and Becka are best friends!

Holly's second oldest son, Logan.  This dude rocks!  He played music for the wedding march.

Courtny was directing traffic.  haha

                                                      

Becka's older sister Jocelynn.  Jocey was married the month before Becka.  

Sadly we were not able to attend her wedding.

Here she is...the woman of the hour.  Our bride to be, Becka.  She was crazy getting everything ready for the wedding and reception...

Ran to change...

And was truly beautiful.  She had a great time at her wedding.  As it should be.

Talk to you soon.

Love,

Carol
