Get your Craft on!

I am the Nursery leader in my ward and I absolutely love it. It is the greatest place to be and I love my little Nursery kids. Since I am in charge I get to do what I want and one thing I love to do with these kids is crafts. So the first 15-20 minutes of our Nursery schedule is spent doing some type of seasonal craft. The day before St. Patricks day we made these adorable St. Patricks day hats. When Avynlea and Rylee saw what I was going to have the Nursery kids make they told me to save some so they could do it also. 

Before they could start making their craft after church I had them pose for a couple of pictures. I got these cute skirts at a craft fair back in November and was going to give them to them for Christmas. After seeing how much they were getting for Christmas I decided to save them for their birthdays. Avy got hers on her birthday and wore it to church and Rylee got hers on her birthday, this day, and wore it to church. Avy wore hers also today so they could kind of match. Rylee looks taller in these pictures but that is only because she is wearing her semi high heels and Avy is barefoot and kind of slouching. In all actuality we found out at their well child checkup a couple of days earlier that despite being two years apart these two girls weigh exactly the same and Avy is half an inch taller. So crazy, no wonder so many people think they are twins. It is pretty fun that they can share clothes and they have been really good about sharing the same closet. Just like me and my sister always did! ;)

Now onto the fun crafts. :)

Rylee got a bath bomb factory from Grandma Alison and was pretty anxious to make some fun things with it. I love that the kit came with gloves and goggles and that she kept them on the entire time she was crafting. Ryker took all of these pictures for me. :)

When she was done making her bath bomb she had the crazy idea to test it out in the bathroom sink rather then waiting or asking to do it in the bath. So that one was a waste but luckily she has plenty more to make and enjoy!

Farm Fun

We went out to the farm last Saturday to help celebrate Alisons birthday. That was the reason we went and I don't even have one picture of the birthday girl. I did, I took some pictures of Rylee opening her birthday present from her Grandma and Grandpa with my phone and I made sure to include Alison in the picture. I emailed the photos to my gmail and before I checked to make sure they arrived safe and sound I deleted the photos from my phone. I was in the cleaning photos from my phone mood. Sure enough when I went to check my email I opened it up and it was blank. For whatever reason it did not send the photos and I am out of luck forever in regards to those particular photos. Not cool of me at all! So no photos of Grandma Alison but I do have a ton of photos that Kenedy took of her cousins to share. I did not realize how many photos I had of the same two little girls until I uploaded them onto this blog and started resizing them. It is a lot but I am glad that Kenedy loves her cousins so much!

When we got to the Farm initially, Alison was holding the newest baby Xander and she passed him off to me. I sat down for a while to enjoy some baby time and had a good time cuddling. After a bit I realized that Sadie was asleep on the chair next to me and had been the entire time I have been sitting there. I could not pass up the opportunity for some sweet pictures so I put Xander next to Sadie and took a couple of shots. Such cute babies!

Tayvia was interested in my camera so I took a picture of her to show her.

The next thousands of pictures are the ones Kenedy took of Madison and Tayvia playing in the sandbox. :)

Trista was in the "Wizard of Oz" play that the High School was putting on and since Brit and I asked Trista to save us seats we didn't feel right about ditching her, Even though her play started right in the middle of Alisons "surpriseish party" and we didn't really want to leave the party but we did want to see her perform so off we went. It did not start until 7 and it was a long play so when the intermission came at 8:30 we made a mutual decision to head out so we could get back home. It was fun to watch and our kids did really good and enjoyed what they saw.
