Proof Positive of Project of the Year, tada!


Happy Valentine's Day!




Happy Birthday Thomas!



Circle Skirts






Neck Warmer









Here are some of the projects I have been up to lately. It would be fun to have more time and money to devote, as well as less OCD perfection seeking tendencies that keep me from actually starting certain activities, but so far so good, and I can't wait to give form to the next idea! It's exciting to have so many plans but frustrating to not be able to do them all at once!

Oops! I almost forgot- okay I did- The train I made up after getting ideas from family-fun and seeing the loaf pan oreo wheel ideas got me going. I got the circle skirt tutorial from one of my most favoritest sewing BLOGS! Dana-made-it. She is so snazzy and snappy with her ideas and they are easy to follow. The heart banner was an idea from this month's issue of BHG and the neckwarmer was just for fun because I have this friend who has this thing about having a warm neck. While paper routing with the window down in the winter. Cold in the neck-region? I'll say.

You are so skinny and pregnant. You look so tall too! I need to come up with a fun cake to make for Amelia's birthday, I love yours.

Thanks! PS I look tall b/c John was sitting while taking my pic, I'll try to remember that in the future. I think birthday cakes are pretty fun to make. Especially whimsical polka dot cakes with sprinkles or round candies or cookies and Martha Stewart's website is really fun to look at for kid's cakes for getting the creative juices flowing. The easier the better, I realize decorating is more for me than anyone because I put in all the time, and the kids don't really care but they know it's special and they have a good time.

Hello-

I was wondering if you accept guest posts? I have an event that I would like to tell you about, that incorporates dancing and how it relates to fitness and staying healthy. Primrose Schools is hosting a Dance Off competition (with proceeds going the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals) for families and I think it is something you and your readers would enjoy!

I look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you,
Emily Patterson

Baby Spencer!

Spencer David Wilson was born on Monday at 5:42 am, at American Fork Hospital. A few hours later John and I agreed on a name for him at last. He was 7 pounds, 5.2 ounces, and 20 inches long. He has dark fine baby hair. It is so soft! He has a very red complexion compared with Thomas, and a fuller face and darker hair. My mommy has come to take care of me and we are having a great time in spite of having a flu bug which has gotten to several people unfortunately, including my mom and my sister and Thomas, but not John, Spencer, or me. Everyone is on the mend so we are praying for no more sickness! I delivered with the Mt. Timpanogos Women's Health Center and Claudia was my midwife, and Joanne was my doula and Kimmi my nurse. Karyann my sister, and John were also there and it was a great experience to have such a devoted team! I can't begin to tell you what a completely different experience it was compared with Thomas' birth. Everyone was emotionally there as well ...

A Pregnant Post by Paige about Pregnancy

Here's the belly progression: 6 Months 8.5 Months Warning! This post may contain personal musings about pregnancy. It may read like a journal. It may contain baby excitement and overall feelings of joy. So I have been stepping on things lately. Mostly toys. How is this possible, you ask? Those of you familiar with my adroit walking skills may be puzzled at this point. I know I was until I took a shower this morning. And I couldn't see my feet at all; not a hint of them, no toes, nothing, not even when leaning forward could I see anything but a belly button sun on the horizon of a large earth belly. And that is why I've been stepping on things. Thomas' toy hammer, a plastic giraffe, the zipper of John's coat . . . The loss of my peripheral vision going down is apparently complete. I can't see where I am stepping! What a frightening feeling. I have also been walking into common household objects with my belly. Doorknobs and chairs. Major medial disco...

Sweepstakes! Paige wins MONEY!!!

Don't you love starburst? http://www.starburst.com/ Yes, this is a promotional blog entry because of how much I love my Grandma and Grandpa, Pinatas and, Starburst! Oh, and money. Once upon a time in the summer of 2009, Paige went on a family reunion trip to the middle of nowhere after which reunion John blogged about life preservers on horseback. (Follow links on the right to read John's blog) Before we returned home to the safety of our own life jacket-less lives, we enjoyed a pinata with the cousins. Hiding behind the tree from which the pinata swung violently, I safely would look out for breakage in the pinata and subsequent candy wreakage on the grass beneath. Finally my moment arrived! Among the 20 grandchildren or so present, I dove into the mass of cousin arms and legs and grabbed at all candy visible and invisible (the candy under Colton when he decided to lay on the stash for its protection). I realize now that the failures of my youth to gather pinata can...
