bbq all year
one good thing about living here is that i can bbq all year. i'm getting pretty good at it if i do say so myself. don't you wish you were here for this meal?
crafty summer projects
Here is the quilt that I started buying fabric for about 2 years ago when I visited Cassie in UT. I finally got most of it together. I still want to change a few of the squares, but hopefully by the end of the summer i can get this done! Whoo hoo!
And........
I took a sewing class, beginners for the community, last semester and we learned all the basics. So i decided to try a dress pattern.....
I'm going to make another one so they can be for the twins! We'll see if they fit. It's not done yet, there will be red ribbons tied on the top of the arms. And it was supposed to have a zipper in the back, but my machine can't do zippers, so we'll have buttons :) Get ready Livvy and Rachel!
I love doing buttons. Who knew they were so easy?
And did i mention that I'm making myself one to match. we are going to be quite a good looking bunch.
Jess, can you do me a favor, can you get me their measurements from their shoulders to their knees and also around their tummies?
Thanks. I know, you're all amazed at my mad sewing skills.

Sitting around together again.
Just hanging around in Cassie's house :) She had just imitated Alli drinking her drink, and it was quite funny.

the low down in texas
Hi everyone! Well it is hot here. And probably everywhere now. We spend more time inside than outside because they only want to play for like a half an hour outside and it's a lot of changing, sunscreening and mess for just a little backyard water fun, so we stay in a lot. I tell myself that i am saving their beautiful skin, not because I am lazy! Anyway we find ways to have fun indoors too. Climbing in cabinets and closing them on each other, putting them work vacuuming, and trying out glasses that are meant for outside are just a few. They are starting to have more fun together now. They sometimes run off into the other room together and are just laughing and giggling. It is really cute. I wish we could see you all and you could see them. They are growing so quick and doing so many cute things all the time. They know the sign language for baby, holding your arms in front of you and rocking back and forth like you are holding a baby, so the other day Livy was eating pizza and she put both of her crusts and all the tiny pieces in her hands and held it against her chest and did the baby sign with it and said baby. Although strange it was cute to see her do it! Exciting stuff like that you are all missing!
