About a month ago I started dreading the idea of having to look for another white dress for Sweet Pea's baptism. I remember having a hard time finding one for Liv that had sleeves and not costing a fortune. I thought for sure she would be so happy to buy a new dress, but when I asked her about getting a new dress she told me that she wanted to wear her sister's baptism dress! Yeah! I was so happy and even happier that it fit!
Evidence that teenagers are capable of working or at least passing the job off to their younger sibling. Here's G-man "teaching" Mr. E to mow the lawn.
Part of Sweet Pea's birthday celebrations was spent at Strikes, our new bowling alley they just opened up in our city. It was very fun. Mr. E beat us all and was the only one of break 100.
Of course, there was breakfast and presents in bed. This year she wanted an egg sandwich.
I made this cute bag for her birthday and it was so easy. It's made out of a place mat. You just sew up the sides, corners in the bottom so it stands nicely, add handles and a little Velcro and ta da, it's done. It's the perfect size for her scriptures. Much easier than the costumes I've been sewing for Liv's up-coming play. I'll post pictures of them when I'm finished. I missed 3 days of running this week due to a chest cold. We'll see how I do tomorrow.

Congratulations, Anna. We were thinking of you on your Special Day!
The other day, Jay was asking when the kids would be old enough so we wouldn't have to do dishes anymore!
Love Anna's scripture bag! My parent's bought one similar for Al, but I like yours. Maybe I'll make another. Where did you get such a cute placemat?
Time is moving so fast! I really feel old right now!
The bag is so cute! Was the ruffle on the placemat? Where would you find one so cute! I would love one for a purse!!
Congrats Anna. That is so exciting and we are very happy for you!! Hopefully we can see you some time this summer.
Wow I can't believe she is already 8! Looks like she had a great birthday/baptism. The bag you made her is so cute. Can I pay you to make me one just like it???
I wanted to send my congrats to Anna as well, although I'm a little behind...We love this girl and had a blast with her and all your children this past August!! It would be great to spend sometime with the whole gang again! Yeah for ANNA!!
