Project for Logan

Well as you can see we really have been all about the projects lately. I have been having so much fun! This was actually the first project because i started working on this during school and I'll take more detailed pictures later but I am so excited that i have finished what i wanted to get done before Logan that i just have to share. I wanted to make Logan a bedding set. I took home decor sewing and needed projects so I made a bed-skirt, curtain, and a bumper pad. (the quilt is still in progress but as i said I'm not in a hurry to finish that). And I just finished the bumper pad today! I got the idea off of a bedding set from J.C.Penney's and I really liked it but it did not tie in the colors of Hailey's room already. So I had to find a way to incorporate those-they will be sharing a room for some time. But it had to be boy! So I came up with this!

The bed skirt has little sport embroidery( football, soccer, golf, basket ball). I love that machine! But this was so fun to make-not perfect that is for sure but it looks so cute and I am just so excited for little Logan to come now!  I feel that we are ready when he is now that his bed is set up and Hailey is getting excited to I think.

New Bed

So Logan will be here soon and so we will need the crib-which means Hailey needed a new bed. So over the break Jason and his Dad built Hailey a new bed. They went and got all the supplies and used there power tools and really enjoyed spending their time together.

 When we got back from the break we brought the bed up to our place and sanded it with Jason cool new sander and put it together during Hailey's nap.

 When she woke up we asked her if we could put the bed in her room and put her mattress in it. She only agreed to putting the bed in her room. We rearranged the furniture so that the bed would fit. Which is a hard this to do if half your walls are closets that are a must need at least every other day of the week to get into. But we made it all fit and it looks pretty good and I think we are going to keep it this way. Once it was in there we just talked to Hailey about how this is her new bed and how Logan is going to need the crib and how the bed is so much cooler the the crib because you can climb on it three different ways and so on... Shortly she agreed and we were able to put her mattress in and she has been sleeping and loving it ever since!!!

I have not totally decided how i want to finish it and its not like the weather would let me anyways. We love the look that a stain finish would give it and it would look so good if we stained it the same color as the other furniture in the room...BUT how cute would it be if we painted it white with her name(in pink or purple) on the foot board and flowers on the head board that matched the room... I'm still deciding.

 Now the question is will she let go of her old pillow and take the new? She has been using the boppy as a pillow for a couple of months now-ever since she found it in the drawer under her bed. But with Logan coming I kinda of need it. So I am hoping that with a little more time (don't want to push too many new things on her) that she will start using her new pillow (I'm so excited i made the pillow cases for it and they are so cute!- I love sewing) and let Logan have the boppy. We shall see...

Project

A couple of Christmas's ago my sister gave use some bean bags and since then i have been wanting a bean bag toss board. And I finally found an image that i wanted that i knew the kids would enjoy. So I use this opportunity to get my mom helps.

So I am so excited that we were able to make this (thanks to my mom and her wonderful art talent) This turned out so cute! I am so excited to be able to bring this out and play with it.


We had such a wonderful visit with my family. It is always a bitter sweet to leave and come home. The way back from me was better and thankfully less uncomfortable for some reason. But my parents are just so wonderful and we loved being there and can't wait to see them again when little Logan come to join us in this world! It was such a need get away for us and such a nice break from school!
So Thank you Mom and Dad! We love you!

Just playing

We had so much fun and took full advantage of the beautiful weather. We played basketball, my mom took Hailey for a couple of walks. We came out to the field( back-back yard ) to my parents house and played croquet it was so fun. We tried to get a picture of Hailey doing it but I was able to- I think my mom did on her camera I'll have to see if she did and get it. It was so funny.

She sure did love having so much attention and free space to roam with out having to be herded to get back here or there.

Just a couple of picture of Jason and Hailey playing together!

Spring Break

So for the break we headed down to Cheyenne, Wyoming so we could spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Whitehead. It was so fun to go down and be with them for a couple of days. The drive there for me was not the most fun. I could have just stayed in Rock Springs (3 hours a way) then to continue to drive. But we made it and it only took me a day to recuperate. And totally worth it. We just had so much fun spending time doing fun random things. One of the days we were there we went to the park...

and fed some geese and duck-just as friendly as the ones here in Rexburg...

And then we went to story time at the Library. It was so fun. Cathy is a really good family friend and we had so much fun with her. Hailey did great and loved it.

She did some really fun activities and the stories were great. And then the learning area on the children floor is so fun. Hailey really could just stay there all day.

Girly Girl

Hailey is such a girl and we love it! She found these curlers under the sink and asked for me to put them in. So we put in a couple in her hair and of course we also had to put some in mine to. So we were just playing around and then Hailey went to her room and started to read the books we checked out from the library to her puppies.

She loves brushing her teeth. If we would let her I'm sure some days she would brush them ever time we would go into the bathroom. We use mint tooth paste and she has some berry tooth paste and occasionally she asks for both kinds on it at one time-yuck-but she likes it.

Thank You

I just wanted to express my gratitude to all of those who made graduation possible. It was not until about a month ago that i realized that Hailey has been excepted into so many of your homes so I could go to class. and many of you for numerous hours a week. There would have been no way for me to have gotten this far without each of you. Hailey really enjoyed coming over to your houses. Those who have moved she still remembers and asks where you are. So i tell her that you have moved and we look up up on your blog to see how you are doing.

But truly THANK YOU we are so grateful for you service and taking such good care of our daughter.

Celebrating

We had a little party for her on Saturday too. We had some friends over for pizza, cake, and ice cream. while we were getting ready for them to come over- we were having some fun...


I just don't know who looks better?

OR

So I did not have too much time do to school projects to make a supper cute cake for a Hailey but still had time to make her what she wanted-asked for- a fun fetti Dalmatian puppy cake. So that was fun. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 HAILEY

So Hailey is officially 2 as of Friday. It was so fun. We decorated the house so when she woke up it would be all pink! We had a good normal day. Hailey was loving the balloons!

It was so fun to spend her birthday with her Grandparents. She had so much fun with the. Grandma made some cupcakes and Hailey loved having us sing to her and to blowing the candles out!

Pretty sure this was her favorite gift-the sunglasses. She also got some books and a great busy bag and a swimming pool! We plan on using that one a lot this summer!

Oh Sunshine!

Oh how I have missed the sun.Welcome Welcome. I only had one class today and was not feeling the best (luckily the worst pregnant days far--which really is not that bad at all compared to some) and I knew that if we stayed inside movies would be going and that just not was not an option to me. So we headed out side around 2. Hailey loved it and so did I! It was so fun to see everyone(almost) outside. We stayed out side for 3hours just playing. It was so nice and peaceful. And I can still feel the sun on my face. I never would have thought that i would get my first sunburn today. It is a slight pink but it just feels good to know that i got some sun. Which means we need to be careful  so Hailey does not get sunburned. 

 

SUNSHINE!!!

Daddy-Daughter time

Last Sunday we all had so much fun playing with each other. Hailey asked Jason to put on her tutu and butterfly wings. I just had to get a picture of him in it. unfortunately that was as far as it could go.

Shopping

We were playing in Toy's R us and just looking around and we both turned around and Hailey had this helmet already figured out and thought it was so cool. So we stayed around and played in this section for a while. It was so cute---maybe she'll play softball...I think it is so fun to play the guessing game of what she is going to do as she grows up.

Her thinking it is golf-

Jason trying to show her how a baseball bat should be held and how to hit the ball.

Sorry- no luck this time---THIS is the way to hold it...lol

Ducks

Just last week on that really nice warm day Hailey and I went for our first walk of the year. It was so great to get out and feel the sun. We walked to the nature park to feed the ducks. She really enjoyed seeing them. i have a feeling we will be going a lot this summer ( and we will really enjoy every minute). These ducks those are getting more and more comfortable humans. They get just a little to close and a couple(the geese) are a bit nippy. So We have to kind of shoo them away from us while we are feeding them, but that it what is kind of fun is that they will get so close.

Once we were out of crackers another car pulled up right in time and they all started running over there. The mom was not even able to get he child out before they were over there ready for more. Crazy...

Right after a man and his dog walked by Hailey started running after the dog say "here puppy" it was so cute. The old man was nice enough to see that and stop the dog and let Hailey pet it. She really enjoyed that. Any time she sees a dog now even from the car she wants to go and pet them. She is not fully comfortable around them yet but she sure likes them- Can't wait, only two more years and we can get our own dog!!!

Hailey was soaked by the time she was ready to get back in the stroller. When we got home i was able to pour water out of her boots.

And then it took like 4 days for them to completly dry off so she could wear them again.

Weather

I just wanted to  complain. I wish Rexburg could decide if it was winter or Spring!

Cause this is sure what is seems like. We can all be out playing and enjoying a semi warm day with the snow melting all around us and only having to wear a light jacket. And then it snows all the next day...

Don't forget day light savings tomorrow!

Aspic

So just today in class we worked with aspic. It is a jello giggler but it the max. Gelatin can hold a 7(water)parts to 1(gelatin)part ration. We were working with an 8-1 ratio. and because it was not flavored they were saying it smelled really bad. Luckily i had a stuffy nose so i could not smell it, but it is a lot of fun to work with. Really the only reason you would work with this is for center pieces. You could flavor it, but as we described it- it has the texture of cartilage. So really not something you would want to eat.

So this is a Calli Lilly, It was so fun to work with the colors. I want to do another one before the semester is out. I want to do one on a mirror. They look so amazing. but what is fun and i hope my classmate does not mind but you can peal these of the plates and put them somewhere. So he did the transformer logo and peeled it off and put it up on our window in the class room. crazy. it got a little dis-formed, but you get the idea
