And that makes 3

My cousin Emily is having a baby in the middle of May. Her sister JanaRae and I threw her a baby shower last weekend. I couldn't have done my part without my Mom. She is amazing. We used my cricut to cut out lots of cute things on fabric and then during the shower, people decorated a onesie for Emily and Baby Hartvigsen. (Name is yet to be determined.) We had chicken salad sandwiches, fruits and veggies, and yummy chocolate cake. It was a lot of fun and the onesies were a big hit!

Our laundry line of onesies. Most of them are 0-3 months. The super tiny ones are newborn. I couldn't believe how small they were, when I pulled them out of the package.
Some of the guests....

I made this sign, and felt I needed a picture with it before I threw it in the trash.

Denver

Once upon a time I wrote a long post about our awful trip to Colorado, but chose not to post it. We went there over Spring Break because Bob had an interview. But days after we set everything up, we found out we were staying in Utah. So we went just for the heck of it. We were without a car, in a small town with only a few restaurants. My previous post was too long and too boring. Let's just say, we did lots of walking, and couldn't wait to get home.

Cricut Bibs

A couple of weeks ago I felt the need to get crafty. I found out I can use my cricut to cut fabric. If you want to know how, go HERE. My cousin Emily is about to have a baby boy, and I needed to use up some of my crafting energy.

I bought some of these at Ikea.

I bought some of those small squares of fabric. (They have some at walmart for only $1.) You don't need very much fabric for bibs and onesies. (And no, I don't have an ironing board, I use a towel on my table.)
And after using a needle and thread to stitch around the edges, I came up with these.

Yes the green one is a frog, a weird looking frog.

Bedroom Makeover

Remember these? I made them months ago, and finally put them to good use! I've had them sitting around for the past few months wondering if I would ever use them. On Monday, I went to Ikea with my Mom and sister Ayrika. Over spring break they were re-doing Ayrika's room. So we were on a hunt for the perfect comforter, and accessories. Luckily we found everything she wanted and even more. While there, I found the a duvet for our bed that matched the colors that I had picked.

Today Bob dropped me off at JoAnns and I found some fabric to match for curtains. I spent the last 4 hours sewing the curtains and 2 pillow cases. (They are orange, but a little too bright for my taste.) A big THANKS to my Mom for helping me. The room is still pretty bare, but it's coming together. We are getting a headboard from my parents and then I'll figure out what to do next. *Sorry for the quality of photos, I had to use my laptop because I can't find my cord.

Bob's first with dyeing eggs....

On Saturday night we were about to leave my parents house when my sister called and said she was coming over to dye eggs. We had talked about it earlier but no one had a dye kit, so we decided not to. Andrea and Brent came over with 4 different kits and my Mom boiled 3 dozen eggs.

I was getting the crayons out and organizing the stuff when Bob asked what the crayons were for. I then learned that Bob had never dyed Easter eggs before.

It was a fun night, even though it was late. We dyed the eggs with Brent, Andrea, and my Dad. It was a lot of fun and I think my Dad had the best time. haha.

Mission Bowling

On Friday night we went to Bob's mission reunion in Bountiful. It was fun to see his companions and mission president. The food is always good- which is a plus for me since I really don't know anyone.

After the reunion we went bowling with Casey and Katelynn. We have made this a tradition and I love it. I am a decent bowler, once I was in a bowling league. And bowling is the only thing I can beat Bob at.

This year, it took a turn for the worse. Bob beat me both games. The first game it was only by 10 but the second game it was by 50 or so. I couldn't break 90, haha.
