Keeping busy.

I have been trying to keep myself busy with other things besides spending money, so I have been doing alot of sewing this month. I have made Kesli and her friend 50's diner outfits, 2 poodle skirts for Kiah's birtday party and I am making 3 more. My sister got a cute apron for her birthday so I copied the pattern and made my own. Now I know what Im doing for Christmas gifts. Sadie and Saylor are being Fairies for Halloween so I made some fun tutu's. I really enjoy sewing and I am greatful to my Mom who taught me. When I was growing up my mom had me make receiving blankets for my aunts when ever they were expecting babies and I have alot of aunts. I am now greatful for her passing that talent down to me.

Fall is here

My favorite season is fall. I am so happy it is here. I just wanted to share some of my favorite thing that come with this awesome season. The best desserts are in the fall. One of our family favorites is pumpkin roll, I make this 4-5 times a season. I love pumpkin anything so if you have some wonderful pumpkin recipes please pass them on. My friend Brooke also got me addicted to a dessert that is an apple cake with warm sauce. I made it for Enrichment last week and it was a hit. One of my favorite memories as a kid was driving up provo canyon when the leaves where changing. It is the most beautiful sight. Take time this fall for all you locals to drive up Provo canyon with the kids and stop and collect some leaves. Kiah and I were both born in the fall, so we have 2 fun birthdays we celebrate every fall. Halloween is my all time favorite holiday ever. I go over and beyond every year. I usually make all the kids costumes, I do my best house decorating , and when the kids get home we have hot chocolate. Last Halloween we went to 4 parties the week of halloween. When Erick and I were young married and money was tight we had apples with carmel dip once a week and apple spiced cider that is a memory I will always remember every fall. My favorite colors are fall colors. Well I just shared some of the things I love about fall. I would love to hear what you have to say.

Sadie and Saylor are so fancy

Fancy Nancy party was a success. These girls were so fancy. We painted nails, made fancy necklaces and decorated our cupcakes to go with the parfaits. What a fun day for the twins

Twins Birthday

Today is Sadie and Saylor's 4th birthday. They woke up this morning to presents. They are into Disney Princesses like the rest of the 4 year old girl population. They recieved some Princess pajama's, dress up shoes and Giselle and Robert barbie dolls from enchanted. When Sadie opened the jammies she said "these are so magical". It was great. Erick and I took them for lunch where they sang happy birthday and gave them free icecream. Later my mom picked them up for more icecream. We had cupcakes after dinner and we are looking forward to there party on Saturday. I can't believe my babies are 4. They are great girls and we love having them as part of our family.

My kids just completed there first week back to school. Kiah is a 5th grader this year. I can't believe she is that old. She loves going to Orchard Elementary and we hope we can keep here there. She will be doing the school choir again this year, and taking voice lessons and dance. Kesli is a 3rd grader. She is such a smartie. She has such fun friends this year and is very social. She is taking ballet and jazz this year. Ikey boy is starting Kindergarden on monday. His teacher is Mrs. Jones and I had here in 5th grade and now she is teaching my son, small world. Isaac is hoping to play soccer this year, he loves video games and star wars. He is such a great kid. Sadie and Saylor have another year home with mommy. We are going to have mommy and twins time everyday. They have never received my full attention. I am excited to get to know them better. They love playing outside, shopping, and fancy nancy books. They are turning 4 on Sept 3rd. They are having a Fancy Nancy birthday party. For any of you that have young girls get the Fancy Nancy books they are great. This year I am going to work on myself inside and out. I am picking a topic each month that I want to improve on and I am going to read and do everything I can on that topic to better educate myself. September begins my health and fitness month. I will keep you posted each month and what I've learned. Erick is still training with his job. He travels alot but he likes what he is doing. He is working from home as well so we love having him around.
