Up To

Oh goodness.

Are the days getting shorter, or is my to do list getting longer? 

Or both?

It's official. 

The first couple of months of the year are definitely our busiest. 

{Of course, if you ask me again in a few months, my answer might be different}

A few things we've been up to:

Baking cookies.
We had some M&Ms left over from Kam's party, and I couldn't think of a yummier way to use 'em up. 

Packaging photography orders.



Did y'all know that you can sew paper?  Oh yes, you can. 



I made a few folders from scrapbook paper. 
Sierra thought I was crazy, but I rather like the way they turned out.



Mostly, though, we've been doing this:




We've had sunshine and temps in the mid/high fifties for nearly a week. 
It's been gorgeous!



Kam couldn't be happier.  Little Love is soakin' it all up!

How's the weather in your neck of the woods?

Busy Busy Bees

We've been busy, busy bees!

First off, all of my whining about the weather has, apparently, paid off ;)

We've had a two day break from the rain, and the thermometer hit 86 degrees this weekend! WOOHOOOO!

Sierra and Makenna have been practing and preparing for their upcoming dance recital. They dance all.day.long. Up and down the grocery aisles, in the living room, outside, you name it. It's pretty cute. After my doctor appointment on Friday {more on that later}, we stopped by Michael's to pick up some things we could use in making little gifts for the girls' classmates. Kenners chose these little suckers. And we saw the butterflies, and couldn't resist. So we turned them into hair clips.

Sierra decided to make bracelets for the girls in her Jazz 3 class. After I snapped this photo we added a little sterling disc stamped with the girls' initials.

Oh, and did I mention the weather has been gorgeous?! I did? Oh, well, it's worth mentioning twice ;) {Did ya notice that someone lost another tooth?}

If you're new here, or missed it before, we live right next door to my parents. We each own 20 acres that adjoin, and it's such fun for the girls to have their grandparents nearby {Jeremy's parents are just up the road too, making it extra special!} Sierra's been holding on to this mailbox since Valentine's Day in hopes of putting it up where our driveways meet, so that they can exchange notes.

Oh, and did I mention? We've been having some nice weather ;)
