Fall Colors

We went for a ride last Saturday to see the fall colors.  I'm glad we went when we did, for some reason we always manage to miss them and I think if we waited even one more week they would have been past their prime.

We stopped to see the view of Bear Lake, stretch our legs, and play with weeds.

Then we headed off road to a picnic in the mountains, played in the leaves, and enjoyed the pretty fall colors.

 The ride got a little long and little boring though, I wasn't the only one that thought so.

Summer 2011 Recap

We had such a busy summer.  I thought I'd do a recap in photo's since i didn't get to blog about a lot of it.

We had shots and bumps and bruises:

We had Birthdays:

We went swimming at Cherry Hill but mostly at home:

We went to our first Parade as a Family: (boring!)

We went to the petting zoo at the Weber County fair.

We also went to the Davis County Fair and saw the Bunny Barn and went to the Derby:

We went camping/hunting in Fairview.  Camping is hard with babies.

Such a busy summer and we're planning on some fun trips and experiences this fall too!

Gifts for Londyn

My good friend and old co-worker Whitnie is expecting her second child in a few weeks.  Its her first girl and I was so excited to make something frilly for her.

I've seen a ton of tutorials out in blog land using pre-ruffled fabric and I've been dying to make something with it since I found a quilt shop near by the stocks it.  

I made a set of adorable bloomers for the summer, and leggings for the winter.  You can find the tutorial here for the leggings as well as a pattern which was actually for tights and i just cut off the bottom; and here for the bloomers with a pattern too.

I also made another diaper case cuz they're just so cute!

I can't wait to meet her new little one!  If she's even half as cute as her little boy she'll be gorgeous!
