A finished product for Hayley...

Here's what I worked one day last week. I took these two cute fabrics my sister picked out, and then...after a little bit of cutting, pressing, and sewing...

I got this. I think it turned out pretty cute actually. The sewing isn't perfect, but it is still cute, it was easy to make, and all it cost was the price of the fabric, so hopefully she likes it. Now my sister just has to come over and try it on to make sure the length is right, and then it's hers :) Hope you like it Hayley!

Playing Catch Up...

Obviously it has been a while since I have posted. I was in CA again for about 2 weeks, and then our internet was down for about a week, and after that...I don't have an excuse :( But I will try and catch you all up on what we've been doing.
In the middle of Feb. the baby and I went to CA to see my brother who returned home from his mission. It was fun to get to see him again and here him speak in Tagalic (sp??). It was hard to leave Creighton here in UT all alone for such a long time without getting to see the baby. We also had our first flight together, it was a little hard at the airport all by myself, but we made it. He was a really good baby too. All in all, it was definitely a success.

Here's a picture of him on an airplane for the first time. This was the second leg of our flight, we had our own row--heavenly.

Creighton ended up surprising me with flowers on Valentine's day. They were delivered to my parent's house. They were absolutely beautiful. It was so sweet of him. Then 2 days later the best surprise came when Creighton showed up at my parent's house to visit for about 5 days. We had a great time and got to go visit some fun areas in San Diego.

Here's a picture of my brother Logan with the baby!!

He had his 6 month check-up at the end of the month and is now 30% in weight (16 lb. 8 oz), 75% for height (26.75 in) and 30% for head circumference. He is growing quickly! The best part of the visit was when he got his shots. He let out the slightest whimper and then smiled at the nurse!! What a tough guy! We had to take a picture of him with his soccer band aids to commemorate the day.

And as you can see below, he now can sit-up all by himself, and as of yesterday, he can pull himself up into sitting position. He is scooting all around, but isn't quite crawling yet.

He also started eating cereal last month, and he loved it. He has done so well with it, not a single problem. In fact, as far as he is concerned, the only problem is that there is never enough for him :)

On the 5th of March we went to the Draper Temple Open House. It is such a beautiful temple. And I absolutely loved the fact that the three of us were able to go there together. It is not very often that parents and children get to be in the special areas of the temple together, and so it was a very memorable day for us. We look forward to going to the next Temple Open House when the other new one opens in a couple of months.

Other than that, not too much else is going on. I am going to be making an apron on Tuesday for my sister, so when I get that done (and as long as it looks ok) I will post some pictures of the process. I still need to quilt my table runners together--anyone know how to machine quilt and want to give me some pointers???? But other than really needing to do some heavy spring cleaning, not much is going on. Oh, but I am loving the weather. The baby and I got to go on our first long walk with a friend of mine the other day. It sure is finally starting to feel like spring!! I can't wait for it, and for summer!!!
