Accomplishments!

My neighbor and friend, Manda (holding the cake) just got her Patriarchal blessing. My other neighbor and friend, Patty, just got her Temple recommend. What awesome things to celebrate! I'm SO proud of these amazing women!!!

True Love...

Just ONE of the reasons I love Justin so much!

Estin's Sea Creature...

Estin entered a contest at the library for creating a sea creature. He did it all on his own (with my supervision). He named him Sebastian. The judging begins July 31st.

Eli loves Fudgesicles!!!!

Saving the Day...

Estin saw a little boy in our neighborhood with a superman cape. "Mommy, I wish I had a superhero cape like that little boy so I could help save the day." Best $1 on fabric I've spent!!!

Steel Days...

Justin won hamburger buns at the craft fair. It's been awhile since he's won anything. He was so proud! :) Estin was really pleased with himself that he could keep a piece of candy in his eye! :)

My superheros

Not quite sure about the jelly filled powdered doughnut!

Estin liked it!

Fun with Stickers!

Estin got new stickers... he had fun with them. :)

Peek a Boo!

It's a Jungle Out There!...

So I did something I said I would NEVER do... I entered Eli in the Steel Days baby contest. I'm just not one of those moms and really didn't know what I was getting in to. The theme was "It's a Jungle Out There" so I whipped up a little Tarzan outfit just for kicks. A cute little black baby won...but I still think Eli is THE CUTEST BABY EVER!!! :)

Happy Independence Week!!!

Parade Day! West Jordan's 4th of July parade is A LOT better than Rexburg's! It actually has floats and things other than dance groups and tractors! :)

My patriotic little manI LOVE this boy!!!!

Estin's showing off the 5 train stickers he has pasted to his arm

Experimenting with food coloring! Estin liked the blueberries I used... can you tell?
