SLC....again

Wow we are back from almost 2 weeks in SLC. We went to Parley's Canyon with Parlee :) We bummed around and had fun, hopefully I'll post pictures tomorrow!

Update

I couldnt find my card reader for a couple weeks so I was unable to post some pictures. The last couple of weeks we have been busy and having fun, we have gone to Salt Lake City and took the kids to see Harry Potter. We also visited with family and showed off the new baby. We had the annual 24th of July float, and two trips to Pine Valley. Life is wonderful now that I am not pregnant. I have been busy trying out my sewing machine (and so has my mom, I think she has made 5 or 6 quilts the last few weeks...maybe more) We are loving having a new baby n our house and having fun because it's a girl. I added many new posts below to show some of what we have been up to..ENJOY

for the love of Thomas

I was uploading pictures onto my camera and came across about 20 pictures of the Thomas backpack that Marg gave Taran a couple weeks ago. He positioned it and took so many pictures it was just too cute to not publish at east a few of them :)

Pine Valley

Last night we took the kids up to Pine Valley to go fishing and then we headed over to the picnic area for sandwiches and made some smores..YUM! The boys loved fishing and Joel even caught some fish.

scrappy mini quilt

Here's the cute mini scrappy quilt I made for Parlee. I really did trim the edges and bind it I just forgot to take a picture when it was all completed :)

Pioneer outfit

Okay so Parlee's not wearing the outfit here, Ill get some with her wearing the outfit. But here is the cute pioneer outfit my mom made Parlee for the 24th! SO CUTE!

24th of July

The kids were on the float for the 24th of July, Joel pulled the float. I left my camera in the Excursion though and got NO pictures on my camera. My grandma got some cute pictures, but nothing I could put on the blog. Mom also made Parlee the cutest pioneer putfit, I need to put her in it again to get some pictures to post.

After we went to Pine Valley for a big family dinner at Bill and Lorraines cabin. The kids all had fun doing stuff that made them nice and dirty!

Random pictures of Parlees first month

We are loving this little girl!

Bath Time

Parlee's first bath! My friend Candice and her mom Suzanne bot Parlee this cute robe and some bath products that we loved using. Parlee (we think) enjoyed her first bath, she didn't cry. There is always something fun about a babies first bath, she was 9 days old when she had her first bath.

Parlee's appointment

Today Parlee went into the midwifes and she weighs 10lbs 7oz! What a BIG baby and she's only 3 weeks and 4 days old!

needing help

I am looking for some wheat or rice that someone has in there food storage thats has gone past the experation. I wanted to make little rice bags for an object lesson in primary on Sunday, but dont want to use 'good food' if anyone can help out let me know...soon :)

WOW

Are house plans are finally going to engineering! I bet many of you thought we were joking when we said we had house plans being drawn up....Maybe by next year they will actually be in our hands, and at that rate maybe by retirement we will build our house :)

Craft Hope

I recently found this wonderful blog called Craft Hope. I have added a logo on my side bar that inks to their site. it is a wonderful site that picks a charity and has people hand make items for those in need. Unfortunately I found it two days before the last one ended, so I was unable to participate. But when the next project is featured I plan on participating and I hope any who read this blog would like to participate also!

Dads wedding

Saturday my dad got remarried. We traveled out to the middle of nowhere for the wedding, it was in water canyon out in Colorado City. Of course when we drove through Colorado City, we played a game with the kids, who ever found someone in shorts or a short sleeved shirt wins. Crazy enough we did find of home where kids where jumping on the trampoline and they were all dressed normal, we thought for sure no one would win our game :) Water canyon was beautiful, I haven't been up there since I was a teenager. My dad and Brenda had a simple ceremony, and I don't know what was up with may dads shirt. Apparently there was a story behind it, I just know if I was Brenda I would have slugged him for wearing it! Parlee did well and slept the whole time so we were pleased. I would have never guessed our daughters first real outing would be to Colorado City, and going on some major dirt roads!

We made it a week

Today Parlee is 10 days old. She finally had her umbilical cord fall off last night, yeah changing diapers will be SO much easier, and tonight she will get her first 'real' bath! Parlee loves to sleep on her stomach unlike my other kids (isnt the picture so cute of her on her tummy). She's a strong little girl and can roll over by herself when she wants to. I had to also add a cute little bum shot, because I love how babies keep their feet and legs tucked up under them its just too cute.

Dr's appointment

Today Parlee had her first Dr appointment with Dr. Thompson. She weighed 8lbs. 13 oz. today, so she was down 7oz which the Dr said is normal. She had her PKU and hated it (cant say I blame her) Here is some cute little baby parts.

Bracelets

Im such a sucker for cute little girl things, so last night I had to make some bracelets to match some of Parlees new clothes heres a few of them (yeah there's more)
