rainbows and babies

I made this blanket for my friend's rainbow baby -- I finished it in July, but finally was able to give it to her today. Syndy was so kind to make the onesie for me.

Phin the Flower

We went to Nauvoo on Saturday and Ibby was able to do baptisms in the temple for the first time.  No pics of her on her special day, but I took a couple of the boys at the park we visited while we were waiting for everyone else!

A butterfly landed on Phin's leg and stayed there for several minutes.  He was so still  and watched it carefully.  Then when he was done, he shook his leg around and was surprised that the butterfly didn't want to leave.  It stayed attached to his shorts for a while and then flew circles around Phin's head multiple times before finally finding another beautiful "flower" to perch upon.

When the girls were finished we decided to let Lucy drive for a bit on the country roads around town.  She got her drivers permit the day before!  It is hard to believe that my third baby is that old and I got a little teary eyed at the DMV while she took her test.  It really all goes much too swiftly for me.

birthday time

Happy Birthday yesterday to my Ibby girl!

And she had a fun party with some friends.

happy Mother's day!

My husband doesn't like to buy dead things, but humors me on occasion. Pretty pink flowers in my pretty pink room.

Three year old comes in while I'm running on the treadmill, "Mommy, are you pretending to run?" Why yes I am. I'm also pretending to be out of breath and sweaty -- I have a really good imagination.

I finished another blanket!!!  This one is for my loveliest of friends, Miss Fara.  It is another Attic 24 special.  I have been so happy with the kits and the instructions.

These two gorgeous girls did a wonderful job at their dance concert in the dance they choreographed themselves!
