Our new what ever table

I am so excited to finally get this done! I found this thing i have no idea what you would call it. It's a really huge tray. I found it at a going out of business sale for 1$ and i just couldn't pass it up. I had no clue what to do with it. Luckly I have an awsome creative neighbor, check out her blog poppiesatplay.blogspot.com, who help me make it awsome. She helped me sand it down (as in she sanded it down) and gave me tips on painting it. Then she cut out the coolest vinyl for the middle and then i just painted it. Luckly i found the grey paint for 5$ the purple stain for 3$ the the black polyshades was left over from my sister Stella's project the polyurethane was left over from another project. So the whole thing cost me only 9$. Since we dont have a coffe table in our family room I just set it on our ottomen and we use it for what ever. It's really nice t use for the girls when they color or paint because it hold everything in. I really like it for puzzles so i can put it on my table and keep it there until dinner and simply move the tray to somewhere else. I absolutly love it. Thank you so much Andrea for your help! 

Tired Little Itylee

Ok so Itylee is going through this stage where I dont want her to take a nap because she wont go to bed on time. This is the outcome of not letting her take a nap. I was trying so hard not to laugh.

Transfer pictures

Woohoo. It's been forever. A lot has happened but it's not my fault I couldn't post. We did not have Internet but now we do! I will slowly update you on what I am doing and a ton of fun project. First We moved To Eagle Mountain and we love it here. My neighbors are all awesome and creative and so motivating. Now it's my turn. First I am not feeling so good today so I decided to just watch t.v. this morning. I was watching Katie Browns Workshop and she did this fun photo transfer thing that I just had to share. here is the link to her website with her instructions. http://katiebrown.com/kbep3.cfm?seasonid=3&episodeid=15&cat=nest.

First copy a picture onto regular paper. Warning do not just print one with a regular ink printer. My pictures do change through out the tutorial because I started with an Ink picture but it does not work & I forgot to take pictures of some steps.                      Next Overlap some packing tape over the pictures make sure it is nice and smooth and fully covered. Depending on the size of the picture this may take a couple strips of tape.

This is what it will look like after you tape it.

After you trim it.

Soak the picture In water and rub off the paper with your finger,

This is what it looks like with half of the paper rubbed off. When I first did this I thought I was doing something wrong because something were not staying on the tape. Then I realize the only parts were the white parts and that's because printers do not print white. DUH EMMIE. lol

This is the picture just up against my window because the snow is white the girls hats and jacket turns out great.

This is what it should look like. the toner has transferred to the tape and is now see through.

There are a ton of stuff you can put these pictures on but i can not tell you what I am doing quite yet because I am going to do something for Father's Day for my husband, dad and father in-law and for mother's day for my mom and mother in-law. But if you do something with this please let me know what you did so I can have some more ideas. Thank you!d

Saturday Night Drinks-Blushing Virgin

Yeah we moved into our house! I'm sorry I do not have pictures. We do not have the internet and I have not figured out how to post pictures from my phone. Anyways so James and I have decided that every Saturday night we are going to try a new drink. If anyone want to join please come over. Don't worry they're alcohol free. I bought two different books of non-alcoholic drinks so we decided that we will try a new one every week. This past week we had blushing virgins. They were so good I am actually drinking one right now as I type this up. I am going to post the recipes and if you try any of the recipes I post please let me know what you thought about it. But it would be best if you would just join us for our Saturday night drinks. Maybe play a little poker too.

Blushing-Virgin

Lemon wedge for rimming
coarse sugar for rimming
Ice
1/4 cup no sugar added pomegranate juice
1 TB fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 grapefruit juice (Squirt)
lemon slice for garnish

rub the lemon wedge around the rim of your glass. I chose to use a marti glass. Then dip the rim in the sugar.
Fill the rimmed glass with ice. Add juices and serve garnished with the lemon slice.


Now I actually like it better with out the lemon juice. I don't know If my lemon was bad but I thought it tasted better with no lemon juice. Well I hope you enjoy, and please feel free to come over saturdays to join us for drinks

Another blog download

Sorry I know I should really be updating my page all the time but I sure do get behind. So I hope you love this download from the Fuller family.

So to start of Vienna is 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah! We had a ducky party for her. This is her cake that my dad shaved its head when he put it in the fridge. Good thing I was just so happy that Vienna was one that I didn't care.

These are cake poppers which where amazing! I love cake poppers. I'm not a big fan of making them because they make a lot and take a lot of time to make them.

She had so much fun! And I had so much fun making her little bow thingy. If you look closely i put a little ducky in the center of the yellow part.

Time for CAKE!!

Time for the 4th of July. This year we had lunch at dads with all the Graham side and then headed down for an early dinner down in Provo with the Fullers. Grandma Fuller and LeeAndra and David were all there plus LeeAndra's daughter Kristy and her family. It was lots of fun. After that we headed back to dads for fireworks. James went home with Vienna and Itylee and I went and say the Fireworks. The best part of the day though was Itylee's hair. I had so much doing her hair plus she sat sooo good for me. For Vienna's hair I just sprayed it like a flag but the blue kept coming out of her hair so it doesn't really show up in the picture.

Next we had the Davidson family reunion and had a blast. James, the girls, and I camped out in the grass and there was a huge zip line this year that i never went on but Itylee and James did.For the kids on the zip line they connected a baby swing to secure them in. Itylee had soooooo much fun. Also Itylee just had soo much fun playing with my cousin Beauchene. They just played and played it was sooo cute. James decided one evening that he was going to climb to the top of one of the nearby mountains and he wanted to drag me along but there was no way I could do that. I am so out of shape. but I am soo proud of him.

I think this is the only picture of James kind of smiling. I guess that's as close as he gets

Now time to move onto the 24th of July. I had the lesson for nursery and I wanted to teach the kids about how the pioneers lived. So I made aprons out of hot pads and wash rags, and rag dolls, and we even made butter in little baby food jars. but the best part was my dad and I built a little handcart out of my old bike trailer. The kids had soo much fun and to top it off I made an amazing cake! Thank you Alessandra. Check out her website at howicook.com for the recipe and directions because you will be the hit of the party if you show up with this cake.

The top picture from left to right is James, Jesse, Hailey, Itylee, Henry, and Brynne The rest of the pictures you can figure out yourself :)

Okay now to move into our HOUSE!!!! here is a preview of our house with all the walls up

As of last night they had all the walls and ceiling painted so now they just need to put the flooring in then cabinents and the rest of the plumbing like toilets and sinks and they are finished with the inside!! I will post a picture of the front of the house as soon as they finish it. They have the sides and back of the house finished but in the fron they only have the base coat of the stucco done so it's not so pretty but I am going back tonight so hopefully they have done more in the front. Well I don't think I forgot anything else. I hope you have all enjoyed my download :)

helpful little Itylee

So tonight as I was brushing my teeth and itylee came into the bathroom with a box of tampons humming a song and then looked up at me and said "I'm cleaning your room" then she continued on humming a little song and walked back to my room. I was like YES i'm traing her soooo well. so I decided to follow her as I saw that she had put anything that was on my floor and threw  it in the hallway. It made me laugh then  I decided to take advantage of her genorisity and told her that everything needed to come back in my room from the hallway and in a cute little cheerful voice she said"okay" and continued on with her humming. It was so fun to sit and watch her as I sat on my bed to see her come in and just kind of stuff things in places and when she didn't know where she would put it she would ask me where to put it and then she'd continue to hum her little song until she was finished and with a big slump of her shoulder and a big humph of relief she said "few, i'm pooped" I have to say she did a pretty good job too. I am so grateful for her. She just fills my heart with happiness. And i'm not only  saying that cuz I got a free cleaning out of her but because I didn't even have to ask her and that at 2 years old she knew what needed to be done and she did it out of the kindness of her heart and all while humming a cute little song and a smile on her face. Bet your all jelous now aren't ya.
