Little Miss

I found this shirt and other Little Miss shirts at Target a few months ago and I thought they fit Ava's personality to a tee! This one happens to be Ava's favorite "Little Miss Stubborn" Ava actually asks to wear this one, she will dig it out of the dirty laundry pile and put it on proudly, I just couldn't resist a picture of here cute, stubborn face!

Happy early holidays

So we scrapbook teachers have to make our projects so early, kind of a pain but it really gets me excited for the upcoming holidays! This is a book I will be teaching in Flagstaff on the December 12 weekend at a cute scrap store called Making Memories and More. This is just a sneak peek at what we will be making.

Halloween Night

We had a great time Halloween night with our extended family. Grace wanted to be the tween version of Alice in Wonderland and Ava of course changed her mind three times. For Ava's school party she was super girl, then she decided she wanted to be Luke Skywalker or Anakin (which I told her I wasn't fond of her dressing as a boy) so we compromised and put together a girl version of Batman. With scraps around the house, we used Grace's dance leotard and tights, a Hannah Montanna skirt, Ava's batman mask, arm guards, and utility belt, and we sewed a bright pink bow on the black cape to "girl it up" don't forget the pink high tops, it truly finishes off the costume.

Multiple Pumpkin Patches

Every year we love to go to a pumpkin patch, we have been to the ones in Az and Nebraska (can't be beat!) this year we were lucky enough to go to two. The first set of pictures are from Schneff farm, this has become somewhat of a family tradition and my girls look so forward to it, you'd think I was taking them to Disneyland! Since Az is lacking in the pumpkin patch department compared to the midwest, Schneff does a pretty good job. We had a ball, spent to much money, danced, laughed and stayed for 5 hours, a much needed family night out!
One of my favorite activities, picking our pumpkins!


While we ate dinner, this awesome band was playing and Ava and Grace decided to do some crazy table dancing, the audience was very amused.
My children have a serious love of animals, we loved the barn animals so much we visited twice, in fact Kale told the girls that they could have a pet goat if they wanted out of my earshot and I vetoed that decision immediatly with our HOA and all.


This patch is from Mother Natures farm and we went with a bunch of ward mommies on Fall break, the little girls in these pictures are our very good friends kids, Keana, and Malia.

Flagstaff class

I had the opportunity to teach one of my scrapbooks at a cute store in Flagstaff, this is my wonderful class(minus a few who went home earlier) My in-laws have a beautiful cabin in Mund's Park so when I teach I have a great place to stay to make a mini vacation.

New season, New book

This is another project I have been working on. I will be teaching this canvas autumn book at Scrapbook Barn in early November. Happy Fall!
