In my head!

I hate it when I get a song or saying stuck in my head! I have a tendancy to repeat it over and over again! Why can't I just think of something else...Well thank you to great writers somehow it always sticks. For about the past month I have a song stuck in my head!

Do you remember this show! I loved it when I was growing up! I really have not watched it in years, but when we were kids we would watch it ALL of the time!

The song that has been in my head for the past month is from this show! THERE ARE NO CATS IN AMERICA, AND THE STREETS ARE FILLED WITH CHEESE! I do not know the real name of this song and this is really the only part I remember, but I guess I will continue to sing it out loud and in my head multiple time a day until I watch this show!

PS. Fievel...there are millions of cats in America and cheese is expensive...so STAY AWAY!!!!!

IMPROVEMENT

With Paige on the move,
I have been begging Ryan to get a railing up! He has now informed me that in fact it is called a Baluster. This is a before picture. Can't you tell just how excited he is about this project!
This is a during the process picture. Ryan's brother Chad came down from Heber to help him. This was SUCH a blessing. I did not get a picture of the two of them working.
Finished product! Actually not quite finished! We have some wood pieces to go around the bottom of the large piece, but they were outside drying from the black stain.

After I put the furniture back. I LOVE the finished results! I was really scared that it would close up this room and make it seem smaller...However, I think that it does the exact opposite! I love the railing, I love the openness, and I LOVE my hubby! Thanks Love!

Procrastination

Why do we procrastinate???? I have a craft room that looks like a tornado has passed through. I have been dreading cleaning it because I knew that when I started I would not be able to stop until it was done...and that would take HOURS! Well tonight I braved into the craft room and lo & behold in an hour and a half it was done! Cleaned, organized, everything has a place. What was I thinking??? It did not take that long, and now I will be able to find thing without looking through every bag or box first! HOORAY!!!! I feel like I do this a lot in my life. I put things off and then when I do them it is like...WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG, THAT WAS NOT SO BAD! Well maybe one day I will stop doing this, but for now at least I have a clean house!

DoMeStIc???

So I have to say if someone asked me 2 years ago if I sewed, baked, or made anything crafty I would have laughed at them out loud. However now my answer would be quite a bit different! I LOVE to cook, sew, and figure out how to make all kinds of things! While I was teaching I did not have time to craft and I did not have anyone to make crafts for. Now I have the most amazing baby girl & the best husband that I just want to give the world to. I LOVE making things for them.Mostly cooking for him & bows, headbands, leggings, shelves, car seat covers, and much much more for her. Here are a couple of pics of things that I have made recently..

I made this Bow for Paige. This is at Grandma Anderson's house. She did a Easter Egg hunt for all of the kids. Paige loved Picking up the eggs. Daddy would find them but she picked up every one. Gosh she is so cute!
I made this bow holder for Chad and Summers (Ryans Brother & wife) baby. She is Due May 18th. I can not wait until this baby girl comes...So many more fun things to make her! :)
I made this bow holder for Paige.
Here it is hanging in my baby girls room. I have to say I think it turned out really cute! PS this is my favorite room in the whole house. I love it!
I recently learned to make rolls and have made them a few times, On Easter I decided I would get up early and cook for my hubby. I made egg casserole, cinnamon rolls, and bread. He snatched a piece of bread before I could get a picture of the whole loaf. I was really excited...something that seemed so intimidating, I just made! HOORAY!!!

TREK

Trek Activity

Ryan and I have been asked to be Ma & Pa for our stake trek. Our Trek is not until June 16-19th up at Martins Cove. However, we have already had a few activities to make sure that the kids are really preparing themselves the way they should. We are really looking forward to this great opportunity that we have been given. There are a lot of requirements for everyone involved & I was not thrilled for all of the work, having said that, it always amazes me how the lord knows exactly what we need in our lives. I have grown so much closer to the lord and have a greater understanding and appreciation for the pioneers. What are great experience this has already been and I am sure even greater things are in store with our trek involvement. Last night was a steak trek activity and everyone had to dress up in all of there trek clothing...


Paige and I...I did a LOT of sewing for this evening...I made 8 skirts 3 aprons, a million bonnets and hemmed a few pairs of pants for this activity. In the process I could not resist making Paige her own little bonnet for this activity...Everyone LOVE it. I mean look at her, how could you not? this is not my trek outfit...I have been so busy sewing for everyone else mine had to wait.
Emma, Sheynia, Sara, and Joel...Sara & Joel are the other Ma & Pa in our ward. WE have become good friends throughout this process. it is a lot more fun planning and getting ready for trek when you have good friends to do it with... I made the middle 2 girls clothing...I LOVE Sara's apron...I secretly wanted to keep it...hehe
Kiana, LaCrissa, and Ashleigh. I made Ashleigh's clothes...

Paige & Daddy
We got to play pioneer games, this is Jillian in the potato sack race.
Ryan & Jordan playing musical chairs
One of the great thing about Trek is that Cassidy & Torrie are in our steak & were also called to be a Ma & Pa. They are even in the same group as us...so hopefully we will get to see them quite a bit during this event

Sorry Cassidy...I could not resist...This is typical Cassidy...REALLY involved and loving EVERY minute of it! This was during the square dancing. He is a natural!
