Sunny Days (I wish!)

I picked these sunglasses up at Target, on clearance, for $1.74! I couldn't resist! She L-O-V-E-S to wear them! She throws a fit when I have to take them away. Life must be great when you're eating popcorn, drinking cold water, and coloring! Down below, my sunglasses were on clearance for $2.48!

Cardswap

Once a month a few ladies in the ward get together and have a Cardswap. These were mine for the month

Baby Shower Diaper Cake

This weekend I'm going to a baby shower for a gal in my ward. I decided to make her a diaper cake for her gift. It was so much fun I think this is what I'm going for my shower gifts from now on. I think it turned out pretty cute! Can you tell the new mommy is having a girl?

YW Lesson

This weeks lesson in YW is Spiritual Gifts. I made this little handout that will be attached to a small present filled with couple chocolate chip cookies. I used my new digital scrapbook program my in-laws gave me for Christmas! I have spent so many hours with this new program is so much fun!!

A Glimpse of the Future?

She walks around the house talking on the 'phone' (whatever is in her hand at the time). She's usually talking to grandma or Brian. It's pretty cute

Week 2

The 2nd week of our trip wasn't nearly as eventful as the first, which was wonderful! We able to sit around and enjoy each other. Therefore, not very many pictures for this post!

One afternoon, my mom walked into the kitchen and this is what she found:

At the end of our stay we went to a friend of ours wedding. While there, we met up with some other friends that were visiting from Idaho. We all used to be in the Singles ward about 4-5 years ago. It was fun! Us wives were chatting and realized what our hubbies were doing: playing with our kids at the kiddie table coloring. Couldn't pass up this photo option!

Our last night in CA we had Christmas with Brian's family. Lily got toys, stuffed animals, and an ornament to add to her 'once a year collection', which brings her total to 2!

We also decided to draw names for next year's Christmas exchange. Scotty was not included because he will be serving a mission when Christmas comes around! So we'll all send him something! ;)
