Cousins Baptism and Valentines Date!

 Whitney organized a Cousin Temple Baptism trip and she invited my kids to come if they are able to. Rylee, Kenedy and Tyler were all game to go and Avynlea was driving in from Rexburg and she made it to the Temple just as we were getting there which was so fun. The younger Cousins loved having their older Cousins there participating with them and my kids enjoyed being with the Youngers. Ken edu gave them all a deluight when she accidentally got baptized for male names. The Temple workers used Temple names for her because she didn't bring her own and after she was done and in the shower Whitney notivced that the paper they used for her were male. It was too late for her to come back out so she just did confirmations for females and Tyler got Baptized for the names Kenedy did. It was a funny thing to have happened and a fun memory that won't be forgotten.

For our Valentines Day Kefford and used the gift certificate that Kenedy and Tyler gave us for Christmas and we did a paint and sip class painting lovebirds. It was a fun activity to do and Kefford and I liked the painting. We don't drink alcohol which is typically what people have during a paint and sip and so Kefford did not have a drink and I asked for a soda water with lime, it was delicious and I was very happy with my drink of choice. After the class we went to dinner and then came home and watched a movie while Kenedy, Tyler, Rylee and Avynela went to paint pottery at the pottery place. It was a fun day for everyone.

 

Happy 21st Birthday Avynlea!

 Happy 21st Birthday Avynlea!!! I wasn't able to be in Rexburg with Avynlea for her Birthday but I did send a small package for her to open with treats and small Birthday gifts. The bulk of her Birthday present from Kefford and I was cash sent through Venmo to add two a fund for her Hawaii trip she is taking in June with some of her Mission friends. I love Avynlea so much and am so glad that she is in my family and I get to have her forever. She is always a joy to be around and makes me happy. I wish I could have been there with her to celebrate but I am glad she has good friends who were able to since I couldn't.

Some baby pictures of my girl that I used in an Instagram post for her birthday

I got a pattern to make an eyeglasses case from the quilt store and I decided to use the fabric Kenedy gave me for our Christmas Eve dinner gift exchange to make the case. I recently have needed to wear readers while doing some tasks and I do not have a case to store them in so I was excited to make one. It turned out really cute and I was so happy to have been able to use the material Kenedy gave me.

I remembered that I bought material and another bow pattern while in Utah for Black Friday shopping and I searched my stuff and found it and made this cute bow for my front door for Valentines Day. I love it and now I have a Halloween bow and a Valentines bow, what bow should I make next?!
