Melissa comes to visit (Part 1)

Sunday afternoon everyone got together for dinner. Patrecia cooked a lot of YUMMY food and it was a great afternoon of visiting and spending time together. The three cousins that are months apart in age got to play together. It was a lot of fun to watch them. They do follow each other around but they each did there own thing. It is a lot of fun to see how each one is changing SO quickly.

Baby Project #1: Crib Set(s)

I found this crib set on this website and FELL IN LOVE......then I noticed the price only $169.99 only right? Well that was never going to happen but I think I still came out on top because.......
for way less then half the price I got TWO new crib sets that match by inventing these..........
My mom helped with dimensions but I'm VERY proud to say the idea and the sewing was all me. I probably am WAY too tickled with myself but all well I LOVE how they turned out and I cant wait to get them to Moscow to put them in the cribs!

So Yummy!

Anyone in the TC close enough to road 68 try this place it was FANTASTIC!

Twin Lakes!!!

Yes, I finally put my projects away for a weekend (kind of I took one along) and we went up to twin lakes, Darren's family has been going there for a week every summer since he was little and its full of fun like swimming, biking, boating, fishing, games and LOTS of GREAT food. We had a great time and I was SOO glad we decided to go.

Just in case you can't remember...this was Kloee last year testing out the waters....
Well this was her this year. Yes, Darren is pouring the cold water over her had and she was loving it.
She played in the water for a long time and really didn't want to get out but when she started shivering we decided it was time.
We did a lot of this........RELAX! It was so nice to read and talk next to the lake. Kloee as you can tell sure knew how to relax! (By the way this picture is totally candid she did this all on her own)
She sure loved the water....
Darren's cousins caught this turtle....just another tradition so Im told
This is a terrible picture but this is Darren skiing he makes it look so easy.
We took Kloee in the boat to watch Darren ski, I wish I could say she loved it....she didn't she hated the life jacket and was unsure the whole boat ride. Maybe next year.
We did get one night of fishing in, which is my favorite thing to do there. I caught a really big bass and some smaller ones. It was a lot of fun.
You can see the excitement on Darren's face when I caught the biggest fish again I made him pose with his fish and he wasn't very happy.
We took a short 15 min ferry ride on the way over I think it was Kloee's favorite part of the trip...What a DIVA!!!

Many Faces of Kloee....POOL STYLE

This last week we were invited to swim at a family in our wards pool while they were out of town for the week. We only got over there one day but it was worth it. It took Kloee a little while to get used to the water it was actually kinda cold which surprised us considering how hot it was. After a little bit SHE LOVED IT.....
She swam around with Darren for a little while and then sat on the steps with me and made funny faces at Darren which I thought were just too cute not to share....
