February's Atempts...

This month I found some cute ideas online and just had to try them out. Well I would say that I didn't quiet do as cute of a job but they all worked out pretty well, I was going to post the comparision pictures but was struggling to find them again online.

First I found this new website and it had this yummy valentines smore recipe so I had to try it. You buy the heart marshmallows put on grahmn cracker crust and dip in chocolate- sounds pretty easy huh! That is what I thought too. Well it wasn't easy so I did the best I could with what paitence I had. Everyone that had one said they tasted really good so that is all that matters right. :)


I found this cute idea in "Parent" magazine and thought it would be fun for John and I to do together for Valentines cards. You take alphabet building blocks and spell out a word and color over with a crayon. They turned out way cute and John had alot of fun with this too.


The next one I had to try was a baby sling for my niece. My friend made one and posted a picture and the directions online. Again it sounded really easy but when it came down to it I had to go over to her house and have her explain it to me. I think mine turned out really cute.


Telsha my sister came up before valentines and found this really cute idea on The Dating Divas web site to make for our boys for valentines. They too turned out really cute and were not too hard to make thanks to the website that had done all the work for us. :). By the way if you have not checked out this website I would highly recommend it~

box of love

Okay so I am so excited- today I was just dying to craft- i remembered this idea I read in the Friend this month so the boys and I busted the crafts out and had some fun! Here are some picts of the fun. Below is the Friend's article that gave me the idea-




Box of Love
Each week in February, hang this box of love on a different family member’s door. Throughout the week, put things in the box that tell or show your love for that person. You can leave a note, a drawing, or a small treat. If you like, invite other family members to add to the box and share the love!

1. Cut off the top flaps of a small cardboard box, such as a small cereal box.

2. Cut out a piece of colorful paper or wrapping paper the same height as the box. Wrap the paper around the box and secure with tape or glue.

3. Punch a hole near the top of the two short sides.

4. Tie a ribbon or string through the two holes to make a handle to hang the box on a doorknob.

Kelsi's Wedding

Well Kelsi got married on Jan. 22nd. The wedding events started the night before with a wedding dinner where close friends and family enjoyed a dinner and program together. Then Sat was the big day! It was such a wonderful day! The whole day just went so great! The sealing was so special with tons of our family there and the reception- well it rocked! It looked beautiful (if I do say so myself) and it was a ton of fun! It was so great to see so many old friends and lots of family members. We are excited to welcome Emil into the family! My boys absolutely adore him and are excited to have a new uncle. Here are just a few pictures from my camera that day- I will have to post some from the photographer because I am sure she got alot of better shots!
