Family Visit!

Nana, Jordan, Chelsea and Halli came for a visit on Saturday... We had Indian food, took a drive to Preston, Idaho in search of the Bear River Massacre monument (we didn't find it but thats ok :) ) and just hung out.  Here are some pictures from Saturday. I can not get over how cute Emmaline is!

P is for Peart

I found this Pinterest post and wanted to try it out. Here is the original link. 

Here is how mine turned out. Not too bad!

Shoes!

Ian really enjoys trying on shoes... My uncle gave us some clothes and shoes for Emmaline when she gets a little bigger. These were in there, so Ian tried them on. I thought he was being really cute! Look at Emmaline in the background wondering what he is doing. She takes everything in!

Canada Flag Bow!

I have been working a lot on different types of bows for my daughter and friends who have/are having baby girls. I have really enjoyed Pinterest and all that it has to offer when it comes to different bows.  I have tried many of them, some of them have come out really well (I will try to get pictures) and others have turned out really badly. (I just threw them away). I found this bow where a woman made a Canada Flag bow. So for Canada thanksgiving I made it, and loved the way it turned out. The original link is here

This is what mine looked like when it was complete.

Here is Emmaline wearing the bow, waiting for her Thanksgiving dinner!

DIY workout tank!

I have been getting a lot of useful (and not so useful) tips on Pinterest.  i have been doing a mini Pinterest challenge with myself. I have been able to get a few things to look like I wanted them to look. I liked how this DIY workout tank turned out and I may do it again.  

 Here is the original line

Tools: T-shirt and scissor

This t-shirt is REALLY old, its a terrible picture but I was just going to throw it out.
  Miss Kiwi thought she could help.
Even though she is SUPER cute, she helped very little.

Cut as close to the seam of the collar as you can. 

Cut the sleeves off as close to the seam as you can. 

Take the sleeve that was cut off and cut it into a piece  2" by 8".
Then wrap it around the sleeves in the back to make it  tight.
 Tie it off and put the knot on the inside of the shirt.

Finished product.
Can you see Kiwi's tail?

Play Time at the Pearts

The kids were playing so well together and having so much fun! We were just letting them go at it and the next thing we knew Ian was asleep on the floor! Emmaline continued playing on the floor and she was even putting toys on his head.  He didn't even stir. I guess Emmaline completely wore him out!

Some Pennies with my Cereal?

Ian has what is called "Leaky chin syndrome," His father has the same disease :)

Ian and Daddy were having a late night snack of some cereal.  Ian was asking if he could have something in it. Jonathan did not understand and called me over. This is the conversation I had with him

Ian: Can I have some pennies in my cereal?

Me: You can't eat pennies.

Ian: But I want to eat pennies.

Where does he come up with this stuff.  

3rd place!

Our Apartment complex had a Halloween costume competition for all the people who wore costumes. My children won third place. Not sure what that entails but they sure do look cute!
