Kiah's 50's party.

On Friday night we celebrated Kiah's 11th birthday. It was so fun. Kiah wanted a 50's theme. I made 5 poodle skirts for her and her friends. They started out the night with lip sync's. We divided the girls into 2 groups and they learned and prepared 2 lip sync to 50's songs. And then they performed them for each other. We turned our dining room into a 50's diner. Kesli and her friends took each girls order and served them Hamburgers, Hotdogs and French Fries. We also had bubble gum blowing and hoola hooping. The girls had so much fun. Also on Saturday I took her and her friends to High School Musical 3. The girls loved it. I myself being a big High School Musical fan, was a little disappointed. It was a little over the top. I still suggest you see it, but I love the 1st 2 much more. Kiah loved it equally so I guess it is still a hit with young girls.

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.

Happy Birthday to my guy!!!

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.
