I am an Auntie Again

My cute little sister Chantae had her little girl. Her labor went so fast that by the time the anesthesiologist was available it was too late, so my sister is wonder woman in my opinion. I had to work all week so yesterday my hubs and I made the trip to hang out for the day with the new little family. Her name is Josie.


Babies are so precious when they sleep. She looked so perfect. She is a good little baby and slept for 4 hours straight and we even went to dinner and not peep came out of her.


Chris loves little girls. I have no idea if he likes boys seems as every baby he has been around for the last year has been girls. He just loves to hold them and play with their fingers.


We had a great time visiting. It was neat to watch my sis and bro in-law learning to be parents. When we went to dinner they drove so slow I had to laugh. I am so grateful I get to be a part of this little girls life. I kept thinking that one day maybe if we are lucky we will have a little girl that will think Josie is the coolest cousin ever. Those will be the days.

Happy Anniversary Dad and Mom

It has been 30 years today. So glad they figured out how to make it work. Thanks for every thing and sure love you tons!
Thats me the big sister and my little sister Chelsey. I bet I was only four so my parents had been married for 5 years. Our family sure has changed.

Car Seat Cover

When we went to dinner with Kyle and Channy I noticed that she did not have a car seat cover she had thrown a blanket over the carseat. I told her I would make her one. Yesterday I shopped in Logan and couldn't find fabric I like. (Shopping for other peoples taste is hard for me.) I ended up in Brigham City at my favorite fabric shop. So worth the drive. I can't remember what it is called but it is on Main next to Smith' s also an awesome scrapbook store next to it.



Don't mind the yucky car seat I borrowed it to make sure it fit.

Lamp Remake

I bought 2 of these lamps a few years ago a TJ Maxx.




I never loved them but I liked the basic style. I have wanted to do something with them for a long time but never quite sure. Then I found this tutorial on a blog and the rest was history.



I used 4 yards of burlap and my craft room was a big itchy mess. Not too mention trying to get all the burlap itch off of my ironing board Sunday morning to iron the hubs shirt. I also repainted them green and brown. We have had our bed linens for 3 years now and I am trying really hard to not change. They were expensive and I still like them I just really want to go gray and yellow. I even have contemplated painting my new bed yellow and then gray over top and doing burn outs so you can see the yellow. Even Chris thinks that would be cool. I am trying to be practical so my dear mother won't give me crap about it. However, I love the way they turned out and I can repaint them when the time comes.
