Baby Crafts

Here are some more little things I've made for baby Chloe (the name Kiel says is 99% for sure... I think he's holding on to his 1% just to torture me:).

The Top 2 things are blinky holders I made with cute fabric, a snap and cute flowers to cover up the snap.

These are my first attempts to baby bows and a baby head band... it'll fit her for like a week.. it's a little small but first try*

Sewing 101

I got inspiration from one of the ladies in my ward... I did her hair today and I've seen her with these shawls and slings in church and I asked her about it. She told me that she made them and they were so simple to do.... so the adventurous girl that I am... on to JoAnn fabric's I went and 2 hours later I made a Baby Sling and a Nursing cover. Here are some pictures from the website you can order them from... if I Bought both of them together it would have cost me over $95.00. but mine are pretty close. I'm excited to use them!!!

Utah Trip

Connor and I flew up to Utah to spend a Week with my family!! It was a good trip. We shopped for our new baby Girl... and Connor loved being outside in the snow! We love visiting Park City.

We spent one afternoon at Grandma and Grandpa Pedersen's house!! The boys played with Cars and kicked the soccer ball around!!

Connor Loves his Uncle Eric!!! Throwing Rocks in the stream with Aunt Erin and Uncle Eric.... 2 different days!!

*It's a Girl*

Yesterday our prediction was confirmed!!! It's a girl! She was pretty shy yesterday and wouldn't show her face and heart too well so they'll do another ultrasound in a month to get a better look. Espically with Connor's SVT's the Doctor is going to be extra cautious with this baby. Maybe just for my sake but I appreciate it! Well here's some pictures!!!

This is her cute little butt...

This is the end of the ultrasound.. watch for it... she waves!!!

Connor's Body Parts

I got Connor to focus and show all his body parts... He makes me laugh so much.... He loves finding his "Manhood" but we're working with him not to venture down his drawers! What a boy. Anyways.. here's a little clip.

Nate's 4th Birthday

Kiel, Connor and I went out to Laveen on Monday to celebrate an Early Birthday with Nate!! He was very excited about his BatMan Themed party!!! As my Mom's personal shopper (a calling I love and do very well...) we brought a big bag of goodies.... Well here's some pictures to capture the day!

Slowly Nate started to dress up......

and eventually turning into BATMAN!!! This is a threat Picture to Uncle Eric... He's coming to get you!!!

*I Love Flowers*

My Obsession with flowers continues! I found a couple of pots around the house that I turned Into flower pots... weither they will last long or not I think it's cute... I'm loving the smell of fresh flowers in the kitchen window!! I think I missed my calling or something... Anyways.. My last post on Flowers... promise! I just love Spring time!

A day with Ups and Downs

I had a Doctor's appointment today and for some paranoid reason.. I've been nervous about the baby's growth. It doesn't seem like I've gotten any bigger.. and Today I was told I've actually lost 4 pounds... but no worries.. that's all due to my cucumber and grapefruit cravings!! Hahaha.. but we heard the heartbeat and everything looks good! So that was nice....

Later today we officially gave Buddy away... We've been thinking about it for a long time but to relive some stress for me and to give him to someone who can give him more attention... A great young girl met us at Petsmart after I got Buddy groomed and she fell in love with him. She was in her 20's and just was So excited about it. She's a nursing student. She seemed really responsible and very loving towards him. I felt good about it.. I was really strong until I got back into the car with Kiel, then I completely broke down and it all came out. Buddy was my first baby.... Anyways.. don't want to cry again but I thought I would share some of my favorite pics of him growing up!!! He will be Missed!!

*~*~*~*~Blooming Flowers~*~*~*~*

Everywhere else in the world plus some humidity is like Arizona right NoW!!!! It's crazy but I'm enjoying the weather now that I have energy to go out and play outside! Last week I planted vegetables in my back yard due to my fresh food cravings! I've always enjoyed fruits and vegies but lately I crave them and that's it! I eat a bowl of cucumbers with vinegar for lunch. So here's my backyard garden....

Out here we have... cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, parsley, chives, and strawberries

Out front.... I wanted some pretty colors... Arizona's kinda lame...

Folding Arms

This morning we sat down and had a word of prayer together as a family and we always ask Connor to fold his arms and he actually did!! So in Sacrament meeting later during the prayers he did it again!! We were so proud of him... no he doesn't hold it for very long but at least he's learning to pray and be quiet during the prayers! So here's a shot of him tonight.... Yes he's running around naked!! It's barely March here but it's already in the 80's... so.... naked... whatever! He likes his belly button!
