Aprons!

So here they are... the aprons that my mom and I made for Mother's Day gifts. Thanks a BUNCH to my mom for all of her hard work. She is the MASTER sewer and I am her trainee! It was so much fun buying all the fabric and seeing the vision come together. I am planning on selling these - once I can get all the fabric together. They are really fun to wear and make great gifts! If anyone is interested I can make them to your liking - color and fabric pattern. I haven't fully decided on a price yet - I am still researching what the average price aprons are selling for, but I am thinkng somewhere in the neighborhood of $35.00 each?? I seem to always end up loving the most expensive fabrics.

Park City

We headed up to Park City last weekend with my family for some well needed R & R. Thanks to Whitney and Tony for getting the condo and letting us stay up there with them. We had a great time playing the Wii, shopping, swimming, golfing, eating, and enjoying everyone's company. On Saturday morning the guys went golfing at Wasatch Golf Course. While they were there, Marc, my brother-in-law hit a hole in one! Nice work Marc! Jake was so excited for him! Thanks for the good times in Park City!

I couldn't get him to look at me - but he was loving the shallow part of the pool! We took Walker swimming for the first time and he loved it!

Tony, Mike, Marc and Jake after Marc hit the hole in one.

Look for his name in the paper on Sunday:) Nice work Marc.

And he's off...

FINALLY - Walker is crawling! We are so proud of him! He has been trying for a few weeks and he finally picked it up the other day! He is all over the place now, but I love it! Good work Buddy! Lets start walking! just kidding!

We {heart} the Jazz!! Part 2

Oh man! Thanks to a call from Jake's uncle (THANKS BRAD!!) we were able to go to the Jazz-Rockets game 6! WHAT A GAME! We were able to sit in some great seats in the lower bowl and it is a whole different ball game down there! I proudly wore my D-Will jersey, even though for a few days there I was thinking it was the "curse jersey" and I should stop wearing it but after his round of 3's in the 3rd quarter I think the curse was gone. Thanks Meg and Jake for taking Walkie! We really appreicate it!

Here are some highlights from the game:

- Beating T-Mac! The best sign I saw all series was "2nd round virgin"

- Wearing my D-Will Jersey

- Seeing D-Will get pumped up after a great 3rd quarter. I love it when the players get so involved with the crowd.

- watching a conversation between Masha and Andrei Kirilenko. At the end of the 4th we saw her in the crowd talking long distance to Andrei on the bench. We tried to make out what they were saying, but I think they must have been talking in their native tounge:)

- OOO I loved getting the thunder sticks - those things can make some noise (I would like to apoligize to the man in front of me in the Boozer jersey - i hit him on the head with the thunder stick) Sorry!

- I love reading the signs. People are CREATIVE!

- I love seeing people come dressed up. There are a lot of fans who have the old old school stuff. That is SWEET! We saw a guy in a full on rip away outfit that was the old gold and green. NICE! (ok everyone BUT Larry Miller can dress up - wow)

- Last but not least - the WIN! Bring on L.A. (ok even though we lost yesterday - it was still a pretty good game)

The sad part - I went to buy tickets today for Friday's game - $80.00 for 16 row of the UPPER BOWL! thanks, but no thanks! Party at our house Friday 7:00!

One last thought - is it wierd if I wear my jersey to church on Sunday! just kidding!

We {heart} the Jazz!!

My dad, Jake and I If you don't already know - it's true - we LOVE the Utah Jazz!! We catch every preseason, regular season and playoff game! We were lucky enough to attend Saturday's playoff game with most of my family. It was so much fun! I have been to a lot of playoff games in the past and I don't think I have ever heard the crowd as loud as I did last night. It was crazy! Before we went to the game I told Jake I wanted to get a D-Will jersey and his reaction was "are you serious?" So I told him that I would just wear my Bryon Russell jersey (yeah #3) and he was not going to let that happen! So lo and behold - I got my jersey and I LOVE IT! D-Will is the best point guard in the league! He can take CP3 to school any day! I wear it with PRIDE!:) We had a great time at the game and hope to go to many more. I have to wonder - what the heck is up with Boozer - drive to the basket buddy!!

GO JAZZ

It's FINALLY here and our "controlled burn"

Proudly hanging our Masters Flag It is officially here. Jake has been waiting since April 9 the day after Zach Johnson won it last year. He talks about it all year long and even started a business with his dad and brother - Amen Corner Partners. In the last few weeks everytime the commercial comes on he is silent (and everyone around him needs to be too). He recorded the commercial on his cell phone and had the "theme music" as his ring. Yes it is true, THE MASTERS are finally here!! Most of you know Jake is crazy about golf and this is by far his favorite five days of the year! Starting with the Par 3 round and then to the 4 rounds at Augusta! Thanks to his brother Justin (who is just as Masters crazy - if not more) Jake was able to go to Augusta with his dad, brothers and brother-in-law and see the Masters in person. He got some good pictures of Tiger, Phil and the course. Everyday I called him he "was in golf heaven" and loved every moment of it. He brought back lots of memorabilia, posters, cups, tees, shirts, and a flag. We proudly display our flag outside.

Here are some pictures from the Masters

Now to the controlled burn. So when we were going to put up our Masters flag we had to take down our American flag. It was hammered! It has holes and rips from being outside in the wind all year. We new we had to destroy it so Jake found the "proper" way to destroy an American flag. They said the best way was to burn it or take it to a flag store and they can burn it for you. Of course, Jake wanted to burn it himself. SO he went to the fire pit in our backyard and Walker and I watched him burn the flag. Jake was pretty proud of his scouting skills in starting the fire and he ended up burning some dead bushes that were in the backyard.

A few pics...

I have taken a few really cute pictures this last week.

We were getting ready for church on Sunday and I was deciding what Walker should wear and I totally forgot that he had this dress shirt that came with a tie. I really think it might be the cutest thing he has ever worn. He looks so old! By far, one of my favorite pictures!

One handsome guy! Look how skinny his legs are! Hilarous. I know I am bias, but come on he is one cute guy!Jake went skiing with his dad, brother, and sister so I was lucky enough to watch Luke and Walker. They were so much fun. They are only 6 weeks apart and they were playing so well together! I tried to get a better picture, but they would smile and the minute I held up the camera they were like "huh?" Muranda walked over to my house the other day in this awesome wagon. It has straps to buckle the kiddos in and even cup holders. Ashton is so funny, he will take a drink then put his sippy back in the cup holder. These two have a lot of fun together. I am so glad Muranda lives so close!

They decided to come in for a minute and hang out! Great photo op!

Walker is getting so big I can't believe it! Everyday when I go get him up it seems like he has grown so much over night! We love him to death and love watching him grow!

Bag Tag

I was bag tagged! (thanks, Debby!)

Here are the rules:

1. Take a picture of your bag

2. Show a picture of ALL the contents in your bag and then name them NO CLEANING OUT FIRST!!!!

3. "Bag Tag" five to ten people

4. Leave a comment on their blog that says "You've Been Bag Tagged!"

As I was taking everything out of my bag - it was a sad realization that I still carry a diaper bag. I miss my purses!! Here it is -

Just your standard backpack. I wanted this sweet diaper bag that was SOOO cute, but it was WAY out of my price range so I went with this cute Dakine bag that I foundin Haleva, HI.

Ok here is the list - book and toys for Walker, mints, lotion, Walker's toothbrush (what is that doing in there??), feminine products, wallet (always a must), lip liner (there it is!!!), treats for Walker and occasionally myself, diapers, lotion, wipes, zip lock of coupons, mini calendar, check book, journal, Walker's medicines, ooo Target gift card, and last but for sure not least - Jazz schedule (always need one handy!!) Oh yeah and sanitizer hooked on the bag! Suprisingly there weren't any crumbs - but there is an apple juice stain on the inside:)

I think it might be time for me to ditch the diaper bag and bring back the purse!! Yippie!

ok I tag: Kim, Whitney, Muranda, Tori, and Jill.

Easter

We had a great Easter this year. It started on Saturday dying eggs with Walker. He didn't know what was going on - so we only got 7 eggs done and then headed to Dan and Mare's for an Easter egg hunt. We look forward to that every year. Even though Walker dosen't understand it was still fun to see all grandkids hunting for eggs. Sunday we woke up and the Easter Bunny came! I tried to get a picture with Walker and his basket - but it never worked out! So we got him in his Easter outfit and enjoyed church and remembering the Resurrection and then had dinner at my Grandma's house. My mom set up an Easter egg hunt for Boston and he loved it! He was so excited about every egg he found. What a great holiday to gather as family and be so greatful for what we have! While putting together my visiting teacher treats for the month I found a great scripture "He is not here; for he is risen" Matthew 28:6 Although a short one, a very powerful one! Easter Eggs we dyed:) Turned out pretty cute!

Walker's Easter basket:) Lucky guy - got all the good treats:)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We were LuCkY at our house this morning - the Leprachans came! Walker set out a cute box that we had painted and decorated and the Leprachans left him gold coins, candy and a really cute wiggly headband! He wasn't too sure what was going on - but I know he liked the headband. He wore it all morning!! We celebrated St. Patrick's day last night with my family. My mom made cornbeef and cabbage. YuMmY! I always look forward to that each year! Thanks mom!

Hope everyone had a great day. I hope you wore your green and didn't get pinched!!

Here he was this morning - loving his box and treats!!

Full of great treats - for Mom and Dad too eat! YUMMY!!

Thanks Beccca for the great idea!
