Diaper Shower/ Luau

 Four of my neighbors got together and decided to have a baby shower for me, I told them that a diaper shower would be better since I have most things and I will have three in diapers.

 So they decided it would be a fun gals get together to have a luau! Look at all this yummy food! This is one of my neighbors and she was in charge of the food probably because she's such a great cook!!

 They even had my girls help with the planning and decorating and handing out the lei's. The girls where in heaven!

 This is my other neighbor Kerrie and it was hosted at her house in her beautiful back yard, and it was a perfect night with perfect weather, not too hot and not too cold. She was an amazing host!

 The one on the left is my other neighbor she is like a saragate mom and grandma to my kids, we just love her. She was in charge of the invitations. The one on the right is our friend Hulon, she serves in the Young womens and Hawaiian princess just loves her lessons.

 The one on the left is my fourth neighbor involved in this and she helped where ever they wanted her, drinks ect., EB boy loves to go over and play with her daughter that's the same age as him. The one on the right is my relief society pres.

 This is my good friend Alicia, I just love this lady!

 There's Kerri on the left and Hawaiian princess on the right. I just love Kerri, she has two boy my boy's age and our little girls are the same age too so it's too fun! We swapped babysitting this year to volunteer at the school and that was fun.

 Love these two ladies.

The girls made this sign, isn't it cute! They did a great job and now it hangs up in the babies bedroom.

We love this little girl

The girls just love to get her hair wet and put curly sexy hair in her hair because she has the cutest curls! She loves her sisters, she has four mommies according to her. She loves to be held and spun around and she loves to close her eyes and pretend that she is sleeping, she is a very silly girl and a ray of sunshine! Look at Violets teeth! She is getting braces in a week, I can't wait because I feel so bad for her, she is the only one in our family that has her top teeth really crooked and coming practically on top of each other, she had to get her baby eye teeth extracted because they were coming in so crooked that they would have been impacted and that would be painful! We'll show you her braces when she gets them!

New Car seat Cover

For the past couple of days I have been getting all of my sewing projects done before the baby comes! 

I have been working on sewing cuffs at the bottom of Thirteen pairs of Pajamas, all those foot pajamas came from the Children's Place store and all of them had holes in the toes, I almost felt like taking all those pajamas to the Children's Place store to show them how bad it was. Those pajamas were worn by my older two boys so I was handing them down. I just decided to sew cuffs on the ends of all thirteen pajamas and they turned out great, better than great, useable! Both Baby sissy and Danny boy can wear them now! Then I decided that I wanted a new car seat cover. My old one didn't fit the handles on my car seat just right and it wasn't long enough. So I put my mad skills together and came up with this! Yep, No pattern I just figured it out. The hardest part was the red edges but it all came together in the end and I am so pleased with how it turned out! What do you think? I fell in love with the pattern and colors. 

Chrismas in July

At first glance, it is easy to look at a towel as a most ordinary object. Have you ever stopped to think that for thousands of years, the towel has been used for many wonderful purposes? For example, the mother who wipes the tears of a child to soothe an emotional or physical hurt, the physician who binds the wounds of a bleeding patient, or the woman in her home wiping her hands as she moves from task to task. 

Perhaps the most significant use of the towel happened nearly two thousand years ago when our Savior, only hours before He hung on the cross, took an ordinary towel in His loving hands and dried the feet of His disciples. This simple, loving act personifies the selflessness and loving service we seek to give during our lives. It illustrates that an ordinary thing like a towel, in the right hands, and with a giving heart, can lighten another’s load. As with every action performed by the Savior on this earth, His act of service reminds us that simple day-to-day kindnesses are the Savior’s way to bless and comfort.

Tag idea: “This towel is given with love and with the hope you will do works of goodness with it as the Savior did so many years ago. May the absorbing spirit of the season blot our problems, soak up sorrows, wipe away difficulties, and may your holidays be shining and bright!’

Yes I am already thinking about Christmas...This year I want to steer away from too much temporal things and go more meaningful. I saw a bunch of great Neighbor gifts but this one really caught my eye in the fact that it was very meaningful and really portrays the Saviors Character and I want to bring that out this season! I will give this as a FHE gift for families and neighbors to use during their FHE if they choose to do so.  So this is what I am giving...If you are my neighbor, don't peak! I got the idea from LDS living.com

I will not want to bake for I will have a new little wee one so I won't have time to do that but I love this idea! I have, I know this will be shocking to some of you but I have decided to not shop until after Thanksgiving! I usually start in August or September. I want my husbands opinion this year and his help, I usually do all of the shopping. 

My new hair dew

 Behind the ear look

Or normal!

I got this haircut idea from a blog that I love to look at with my daughter. She is always posting hair tutorials and it's so fun! Now I can try some of her fun hairstyles! For the blog go here.

She cut 8 inches off my hair, I was a little freaked out when I saw it all on the floor! She cut a huge chunk just before she washed it, she said that she didn't want me to change my mind because she knew it also was time for me to cut it all off and start fresh. I had a lot of split ends and my hair didn't look very full and healthy, plus it's so much cooler having it this way being pregnant and all!

Happy Fourth!

We had a great fun filled day! We went to the parade in the morning and it was better then last years parade we even had a great spot to sit and Sloane put up these tents that worked great to keep out the sun, he uses them for Rumbi's when he's doing things outside. Then came home cleaned up a bit and then I made a salad and we went to our neighbors and had a picnic and they invite a bunch of neighbors also. Then we came home and took naps and I made this awesome fourth of July flag Cake, it's a banana cake! Then we went to another BBQ and the kids enjoyed there selves there because all their friends were there and they played volleyball and capture the flag. There was nothing left of the banana cake, everyone ate it all and it was a big cake! Then we came home and rented two movies, Wrath of the titans and Mirror Mirror and the boys watched wrath of the titans and the girls watched mirror mirror, we loved the movies we picked! We did the movie thing instead because going down to watch the fireworks would have been just too much this year with me being pregnant and all and trying to keep track of all the kids. We had a great fourth!
Happy fourth to all of you!!

Look who's FIFTEEN today!

I can't believe my baby girl is now fifteen!! Sniffel, Sniffel, I remember the day she was born, the nurses all said that she had the most perfect round head that they ever saw. What I love about this girl: 

~ She's full of spunk and fun!

~She's beautiful on the inside and out!

~She's very loving

~She is willing to pitch in and help out.

~She's always striving to become closer to her savior.

We are so grateful that she is in our family and we hope she has a great birthday!

We love you very much!
