Finish it Friday: Spring Blocks Edition

I think I set a new record for myself of not posting in FOREVER.  I don't have a reason either...just not much to blog about. :) Let's see a few things going on lately...

I hosted craft night at my house last night.  It was a blast- good friends, no kids, chocolate chip cookies, talking, laughing, and crafting until all hours of the night, it doesn't get much better than that. Here's what we did:

Now let me explain the title of this post, I saw these cute spring blocks on a blog a year ago and I wanted to make them so I got all the paper and embellishments together and got everything ready to go...except for the wood.  I asked my husband at least a hundred times (bless his heart) to cut the wood for me.  Well spring turned into summer and I figured I don't need spring blocks now that it's summer, so there the paper sat.  One YEAR later  I decided to put together a craft night and finally finish my Spring blocks.  So as a punishment ;) for not cutting my wood last year my sweet hubby had to cut my wood x 10 :) which he did promptly and without complaint might I add.

 I had seen these little cuties popping up all over blogland and I thought they would be the perfect "waiting for the mod podge to dry craft" and they were, love the way they turned out!

A couple of months ago we got this huge ball at Costco.  It's fun for the boys they can climb inside and roll each other around, it was a great middle of the winter toy for all but one.  Joslyn was petrified of it, whenever we would go within 10 feet of the thing she would cling to me and whimper.  Alot has changed since then.

 Love the hair sis!!

Look what's coming...

Last fall I planted almost 100 bulbs of all sorts, now I'm starting to see the fruits of my labors-- YAY! I love tulips.

Last weekend we took the kids up to Idaho Falls for a cousins sleepover at Casey and Kristy's.   It was a blast!! The kids had a blast downstairs playing and watching movies.

Sea of Kids :)

The mom's and dad's were in stitches upstairs playing wacky (and I mean wacky) games! Woke up the next morning to yummy breakfast.



Cutest little girlies.

Professional pancake eater.

Then drove up to Green Canyon Hot Springs for some swimming.



Thanks Casey and Kristy for a great time--we can't wait to do it again. Oh and thanks for letting me steal these pics off your blog since I forgot my camera. ♥

You Know It's Spring When...

One day you want to turn on the air conditioner and the next day you want to flip on the fireplace. Another sure sign is when every single pair of jeans your kids own have holes in the knees and they are getting to be high waters.  I tried to patch another pair of Braiden's pants the other day...umm is it short season yet.

Joslyn's new trick:

What a big girl!! She still gets stuck on that pesky arm sometimes but has made it all the way over a couple of times. I don't know if I am imagining things but it seems like she is rolling over way sooner than my boys did. 

*Just Added*  I just looked through my old posts and found out that Joslyn is rolling over about a month sooner than Hudson did!  Uh-oh is this a sign of things to come?

My mom was going through some things and found a little sweater that I wore when I was a baby, so she brought it over for Joslyn.  It's a good thing she brought it when she did because it was almost too small. 

I wish I had a comparison picture but I could not find one.

This little girl is very vocal she likes to "sing" to us.   She is such a good and happy baby.

Since this post is so random, here's one more thing:

Hudson's funny new saying, said to his brothers (mostly Brody) is " 1, 2, 3... GO BED!!"  Hmmmm I wonder where he's heard that before?

Also we have been working on the yard since it has warmed up a little, we made our patio bigger it is going to be awesome, looking forward to those summer time picnics, BBQs, and hot dog roasts.  Hopefully grass is coming soon, ohhh I can't wait!!
