NC with the Bookers- part 1

Ok, so this has been a loooonnnnggg time coming, but I am finally putting up pics from my stay in NC. So sorry, I have been busy with other stuff, and have been slacking on posting these and other things. But, I am motivated to get back on track. I have been back for over 2 weeks now, I had a great time with them though. It definitely gave me a greater appreciation for my big sis to see what she has to do everyday, I don't think I'd be able to have that many kids hanging all over me all the time. For me a week was plenty.  I tried to get Moriah to let me take her camera... but, surprise surprise, she said no. So, these pics aren't the best quality, but they still captured these kids abounding adorableness.

               the first night I was there, bry and I took xan to b-ball practice, this was on the way there

             lots of sun, but I love how koen is looking at xander, trying to figure out what to do

                                                        booger face, but still cute :)

                                                                     blaise

                                                                         me + ezra

                                                                    me and my shadow

Expect more very soon!!

We Are Who We Are

I love you girl!

sometimes she does get a lil' out of control.

Will You Be Mine?

                                          Happy Valentines Day Everyone!!!

Off to NC!!

I'm leaving in the morning to go to North Carolina, to spend some time with Bry and the Bookers! I am a little sheltered :) so it is my first time on a plane, and I am going by myself *gulp*. I'll post pics when I get back!! Don't miss me too much ;).

How To: A Valentine's Craft ♥

I got this idea off of a website, after my mom bugged me to make some sort of craft for valentine's day. Hope you like and maybe even try it yourself, it is really fun!

Supplies:

• 12-by-16 inch piece of wax paper
• Valentine's color crayons
• Old towels
• Iron
• Silk Thread
• Pencil Sharpener
• Sewing Needle

                                                            collect supplies(duhh)

                            peel wrapper off of crayons and fold wax paper in half lengthwise

              shave the crayons in the pencil sharpener and scatter them one half of the wax paper

                                                         oh, look a crazy girl!!

Next, fold half of the wax paper over the half with the shaving on it. Then, place a towel over the top of the paper and run an iron over it. It doesn't really matter what setting the iron is on. It should end up looking something like this:

this is what it will look like if you mix different crayons together, which you want to do!

trace hearts and cut them out of the paper. you can do any size

 you want

Once you cut them, poke a whole close to the top with a needle and thread the yarn through. Then, hang them in front of a window to reflect light. Due to the lack of light on this wintery day, mine don't look so hot, but I assure they look better with some sunlight behind them.

And that's it!

The only let down about this project is, like many other crafts I do, they never turn out the website or article makes them look. And, this time was no different. But, still a fun project!
