Pictures of Davis

A few weeks ago, my amazingly talented friend, Michelle, (you can see how crafty and talented and amazing she is here) took Davis' pictures. Lets just say he wasn't super cooperative but so many of them still turned out so cute. I hadn't gotten his pictures taken since his 1st birthday (and he is my first kid...the rest of our kids don't even have a chance!!) probably because he was even less cooperative that time and I dread it. So, I figured it was time. Here are some of my favorites....

What a handsome, fun-loving, full of personality, amazing kid he is. I just love him to pieces. The first one is my very favorite. It kind of encompasses what Davis is all about!

OOPS!

I wanted to cut Davis' hair a little shorter (since it is so fun to wrestle him..I mean cut his hair). So I thought I would just go one guard shorter for each spot I do. Anyway, I used a three on the top, fine. Then I did one swipe of the one guard on the bottom and was really sad...it was really really short and I had to buzz his whole head. I just can't get used to and I miss his hair. Okay for a summer time cut, I guess but I really want his hair to grow back. QUICK!

Some Summer (time) Projects

So my wonderful and amazing sister in law that we live basically down the street from had the greatest suggestion of getting together once a week with our other nearby (and equally as amazing!) sister in law and doing crafts/sewing projects during the summer. We have had such a good time and it has gotten me on a major sewing kick. I just can't seem to stop. Last week, Jenny and I sewed all afternoon, went to Young Women's then came back and sewed till 1:30am. Love it. We don't really know how to sew, (at least we don't know how to use a pattern) but we have just been teaching ourselves and using tutorials on-line. They are so great. Exactly what I need-step by step directions and pictures. I thought I would show off some of the things that I have made with the girls and on my own.

Here are my beautiful sister in laws on our first craft day!

These bags were probably one of my favorite projects. Not too hard and SO CUTE!

My mom taught me to make these aprons when I went home this summer. Not a great picture but they are seriously so cute.

This bag was our hardest project so far-this was the 1:30 in the morning project. Pretty intense but I was really happy with how it turned out.

I love Wood Connection in Utah. Miss it! I got the stuff for this clock when I was home this summer.

Napkins for my dining room. Now I just need to do placemats.

A little tag blanket for my new nephew in Texas, Grant.

I still have a bunch of things I am working on and a bunch of things I want to do. Plus, once I find out what this baby is I am going to have to go crazy making baby stuff. Love the sewing bug!
