My first time sewing

My friend Sarah took a class at Domestic Bliss on how to make A-line skirts and so she's been showing me how to make them. My first skirt didn't turn out like I wanted because I think we measured it wrong but I made this one today and it turned out so cute! I am so proud of myself especially since I have never sewed before in my life! Who knew how easy and inexpensive they were to make! This will be my first of many more skirts!

Isn't the material so dang cute! This picture doesn't do it justice because it looks way cuter in person!

Aiden's 4th Birthday

Aiden turned 4 on the 13th so we celebrated his birthday on Easter with family and then he wanted his friend Matthew to go to Amazing Jake's. My pictures are not in the order I wanted! I hate how blogger puts your pictures backwards! Anyways, here is Aiden opening his helicopter from Matthew.



Wyatt was so excited to try the rock climbing wall again. (He went a few days earlier for his friends birthday and only made it halfway). He got 3/4 of the way to the top this time!

Matthew, Wyatt, and Aiden on the frog hopper ride.

Aiden and Matthew on the tea cups! I thought Wyatt was going to throw up after he spun so fast the whole time!

This is the morning of Aiden's birthday. We got him everything Star Wars. He is really into Star Wars right now so he got the storm trooper helmet, build your own light sabers, star wars leapster game, and a storm trooper nerf gun. He absolutely loves them and will barely put them down!

His grandma and grandpa Tegeler got him the blue bike he's been dreaming of! He wanted a big boy bike like Wyatt. He also got those bike gloves from his Aunt Christine and Uncle Jason. Ryan got some for when he goes mountain biking and Aiden had to have some too.

Opening more presents from Uncle Coop.

More star wars stuff!

Blowing out the candles on his cupcakes.

I can't believe my youngest is 4 years old! Where did the time go?!

Easter 2009

We had a really fun and relaxing Easter this year. Not all of our family was able to get together but it was still alot of fun. My mom, dad, my sister Krista and my niece Kirsten.

Some of the cousins. Wyatt, Noah, Hailee, Aiden, and Jason after their easter egg hunt.

The boys woke up to easter baskets full of candy and toys, Book of Mormons with their names on them, the sorry slider game, and an egg hunt.

Here is Aiden modeling the easter egg that he decorated like a ladybug.

Wyatt showing off his bug egg he made. They had so much fun decorating their eggs!

I had to get a picture of the boys in their new church clothes. Don't they look handsome!

My boys all dressed up for church.

Me and the boys. They were so excited to bring their Book of Mormons to class!

Easter Pageant

Every year we go to the Easter pageant we get Ned's Crazy Sub and eat it on our blanket in the grass. This year was no different! My pictures got in the wrong order but here is Aiden getting comfy before it starts.


Wyatt already freezing!

Wyatt and Aiden wanted to keep taking pictures with my camera so they each took a picture with me. It is unusual for me to been in very many pictures since I'm the one always taking them!

That is one big grin!

Of course there had to be one of Ryan and I. Aren't we cute?!

Bike Ride

Ryan and I both got bikes for Christmas and love going on long bike rides with the boys. We started a tradition to go every Sunday afternoon. The boys love finding new places to ride and this time we ended up going 12 miles away to Freestone Park! The boys did a good job and I was suprised they made it without too much complaining! Ryan and Wyatt smiling big for the camera.

Ryan and the boys played some football at the park.

On the way back we saw this baby cow that was so cute!

And we saw this black horse that loved being petted. He kept coming so close to the fence.

It has been perfect weather and we hope it lasts a little longer so we can still go on more bike rides before summer gets here!

Digital Scrapbooking

I love digital scrapbooking! A girl in my ward is teaching a class on how to do it and it is awesome! I don't know why I haven't learned earlier. Here are my first two pages. I think they turned out pretty good since I am still learning everything!

Now I have to catch up since I'm so far behind!

Like Father Like Son

Ryan went out to mow the lawn and had this little helper. Don't they look like twins!

I love the smell of freshly cut grass!
