My latest creation


Got these little shoes free last week at an exchange. Thought my sister Eliza might like them for her newest addition, Mave. Didn't like the white bow that was on them so i pulled that off and this is what i came up with, what do you think? I thought they turned out nice :)

Skating and Biking











Jet got some money for his birthday so last week Jordan took him to walmart
to get a skateboard. He'd been talking about getting one for a days. They
came back with a full size skate board that Jet has been having a blast on. One night he wanted
to go out and ride but didn't want to put any clothes on. I thought "what the heck, it's
dark out". I had to take some pictures because he looked so funny with his little
underware and then his helmet on. Last week on Jordan's day off we took Jet
to a skate park and let him ride his bike around, he LOVED it!! It was kinda hot out
but we managed. Jet was soaked with sweat by the time we left. He's got such great skills,
I can't wait to see him further develop these talents. That's our JET!!

Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and everything in between....



We just returned home yesterday from our long awaited trip to Utah. Jordan was able to take a little over two weeks off to go home and play. We had such a nice vacation. We celebrated Jet's birthday with family, Jordan went backpacking to the Wind Rivers in Wyoming, I ran a marathon in Idaho, cousin's wedding, Park City .... and everything in between. We had a BLAST to say the least, there's nothing like visiting family. It's nice to get back to the grind again though. We had a crazy trip home.....I don't know how we got everything in our car, it was packed to the brim. Could barely move :) Stopped on Monday night in Cedar and stayed with Jordan's uncle. It was a nice break because Finn had had enough by that point. He's not the easiest to travel with. Jordan was also feeling quite sick with cold/sinus issues, we needed to stop. We woke up the next morning and headed out about 8am. Finn cried most of the way to Page which was about 3 hours, can I just say "living hell". He's got the LOUDEST cry and poor Jordan didn't feel good as it was. We left Page with ring pops, chocolate milk and benedryl. It all worked wonders on little Finn. He had a few nice naps the rest of the way home. But about forty-five minutes from home I began to smell something, checked little Finn and sure enough he'd pooped... not just any poop... it had managed to come out all over his car seat onto the actual seat and then up his little back. Wonderful!! We raced home as fast as we could in Phoenix traffic with Finn beginning to scream again. Got home, bath, unpacked, tried to go clean out the poop in the car...... just as I was walking in from outside I see Jet and Finn building a four foot tall tower consisting of a bag from our trip, a wooden box and then right on top my glass measuring cups and my large glass bowl.... I didn't make it and the whole thing came crashing down onto the tile floor and glass flew EVERYWHERE. By this time I was VERY frustrated and yelled as I picked the kids up. Jordan and I cleaned as fast as we could. Walked in to check on the screaming boys and poor Jet had gotten cut and spread blood all over the carpet. Ended the night on my hands and knees cleaning blood up. Finally, at about 8pm we were all in bed. We'd had ENOUGH!! :)
