Zachary's new talent

I know my kids are some sort of special, but I really didn't think that special... Zachary was talking to me in the kitchen one day and then out of no where he does this...



I can cross my eyes, but being able to move one inward while the other is straight is way beyond me. He's going to go far with this one I can tell...ha ha Is that speecial or what?

40 years

My mom had begged her mom to let her get this applique quilt top when she was 17. She promised she would finish it, but alas as most childhood promises go she didn't ever complete it. She has carried it around for 40 years. She gave it to me to see if I wanted another project to do. So we ofcourse had to find some sort of retro print for the backing and I also made the binding out of it as well. I don't particularly like this many appliques, but after weeks on the to do list. I have completed it for her. Here's how it ended up.

Easter Activities

I can't belive it's almost Easter already. Our ward playgroup had an Easter Egg hunt this past week and it was really cute to see Lucas picking up eggs. Zachary got to hand out little crochet bunny necklaces that I made. When it came to hunting eggs, Zachary picked up every one in site. Which ended up being like 35, when he was only supposed to pick up 12! So needless to say he wasn't too thrilled when I had other kids come and pick out some eggs. In the end though, he really didn't care as long as he had some candy. Lucas picked up the first egg and he just kind of looked at it like what do I do with it? It was still cute though. Anyway enjoy.

Our little Astronaut

He really is one funny child. Just one day I heard him babbling away while I was on the computer. I realized after a few minutes that he sounded funny. I looked up and he had taken a part from one of Zachary's toys and got creative. I just laughed forever. Cone head, martian or as my mother said he could be an Astronaut!

Happy Birthday Lucas!

We just had a small family gathering at the house and it worked out great. Lucas seemed to have a good time. We really are blessed! Here are the pictures. Anna made the cakes for me and what a wonderful job she did! THANKS HUN'! I think his favorite toy so far is all the different noise makers that we got him. He sure does like to make noise!

What a gentleman...cleaning up after the mess!

1st Haircut

I really am glad we have boys as their hair is just too easy! No need to do anything special. I've gotten braver in the recent year to cut Zachary's hair myself. It kept turning out ok so then it just kind of lead to cutting Jason's hair. Then so on and so forth. I'm lucky that they all have great hair. I'm thinking of a new hair do for myself....I'll keep you posted.

Anyway, Lucas will be turning one on March 9th. We are having a little get together for some cake and ice cream this Saturday. I wish all of the family could be here. I'm sure I'll have some good cake in the face pictures.
