Springtime in Bear Lake

The weather here in Bear Lake keeps fooling us.  It gets nice and I think, "maybe tomorrow I will start working in the yard," and when tomorrow comes, it's snowing.  I know we need the moisture so I won't complain but I am so excited for warm weather and playing outside.  Atreyu keeps telling me that he wants to play in his backyard.  Hopefully the snow will be completely done soon.

I never had a chance to get pictures of the kids on Easter in their church clothes so I took some this past Sunday.  I absolutely love the one of them looking at each other.  That one definitely gets a frame.  My kids are so beautiful!  I'm a pretty lucky mommy!

I got a cold a couple weeks ago and then passed it on to the rest of the family.  I still have it a little bit.  Atreyu didn't seem to get too sick.  Just a runny/stuffy nose that has pretty much cleared up.  Jesse still has it and Cambria got it pretty bad for a few days.  She would wake up in the morning or from naps and her eyes would be gooped shut.  I felt so bad for her.  She's doing much better now.

 

We have these decorative pillows on our couches and Atreyu loves to play with them.  Unfortunately, because of all the playing, the fringe on the edges is constantly falling out and making a mess all over.  I decided I was sick of it so I made some covers for them.  I even put zippers in so that I could wash them if need be.  I think they turned out pretty darn good.

I really have enjoyed my few sewing projects and I want to try some more.  I think I might get a sewing machine next year sometime.  I would do it this year but the extra money is going to our cruise this fall.
