Flower Dress

So, my sister and Mom were gracious enough to make this beautiful dress for Brinly. It is so cute. I finished the final things today (button, beltloops, ironing, etc.). It is just adorable. Take a look at the final product: Brinly is thrilled.

Wedding Cake Trial #1

Ok, my sister is getting married in June and asked me to do the wedding cake. I had to do a trial run...this is it. It isn't perfect, but I thought it turned out pretty good. Anybody want some?? Shane doesn't even like cake, so we are seriously going to have some major leftovers! It's all homemade too b/c I didn't have any cake mixes on hand:)

If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Proportion wise, I'm not sure if it needs to be a little taller on the bottom layer or not? The ribbon and flowers are just what I had on hand- they'll be different- yellow ribbon and probably roses for the flowers.

36 weeks and counting...

I am tired...this pregnancy is just getting more weary every day. I can't seem to get anything done b/c I can't bend over, climb stairs too many times, stand for too long, sit for too long, and am forever having braxton hicks contractions. I'm just at that point where everything is uncomfortable.
I really am grateful that this has been an uneventful pregnancy; I guess I'm feeling a bit impatient. I need to keep busy, but can't seem to do that b/c my body won't allow it! Anyway, just venting. I'll be wishing I was still pregnant in a few weeks when I'm not sleeping a wink and taking care of three children!

Camping Valley of Fire

We always end up camping when I'm just beginning and just ending a pregnancy! I just had the suspision I was pregnant when we went to Zion's last fall, and found out later that I was....and we just went camping this weekend to the Valley of Fire and I'm 35 weeks pregnant;) Crazy, I know. But we still had a good time (minus sleeping). Enjoy the video!

Behavior Incentive Charts

We finished our behavior charts today. It was a fun project to do with the kids (well, Brinly helped and enjoyed it). This is our final product. Our little frogs will jump from lilly pad to lilly pad (both forward and backward depending on behavior) until they all reach the ultimate prize (which currently is a trip to the pool- as represented by the beach scene at the bottom of the chart). Everything is interchangeable, the "incentive" at the bottom is just velcroed on, and so are the lilly pads. Just to change it up, we'll do different things each month or so- we have butterflies and dragonflies for later and worms/caterpillars, and lots of other fun stickers (Walmart 97cent stickers are great for this!). We'll see how this works:)
