New Beginnings

Our wards New Beginnings was last night, and it was the best New Beginnings ever!! Our YW presidency just got called a few weeks ago, so have been working like crazy to pull this off. We wanted it to be a bit over the top in cuteness. It was a huge success and we even had our cute investigator that is 16 come and say she would have never wanted to miss this!

I made super yummy chocolate cupcakes with coconut cream cheese frosting.

I also made these super cute marshmallow pops...so fun, and everyone loved them!

I made little place holders for the name of the dessert.

We had wedding cake balls, and buttercream mints on this beautiful stand form the HL!

I made a theme banner too!

Isn't beautiful???

We ordered this awesome poster from mormon.org (i think), and we made tons and tons of these cute flower rosettes. They are my new favorite thing to make!

I glued button, rhinestones, and pearls in the middle of some of them, and we used some doilies too.

I made bright yellow star suckers and put them in this cute tin from HL.

My Mallory is going to be a new beehive this year, so she came with me. She is so so cute! We did new beehive spotlights.

This was the front table where we talked. I talked on Personal Progress.

Yummy pretzels too!

...and White Chocolate Lemon Truffles! YUM!

I made adorable pixy stix wand for all the girls. These are my fav!

Here we are...we were so glad it was almost over!

This is all of our girls afterward! They loved the wands.

Mallory, having a sugar party! She was so excited for this.

Valentine's Day

My little Valentine, Hallie. She is 7 months!!!

We had to hurry our Valentine party along because I had to be at Young Women's, and Michael was out of town so I had to take all the kids...don't worry, he got me lots of Twisted Silver!!! LOVE IT!

Mallory, so cute!

She got earrings and bracelets!

Little Jillian got a cute necklace (that she has since broken...I hate buying her things), and a cute little jewelry to hold her broken jewelry.

We had Cherry 7-Up, and chili! Whenever Michael leaves we always make chili. He hates it and the rest of us love it!

We made yummy Valentine sugar cookies too and a delicious new cinnamon popcorn. LOVE!

It was a busy, crazy, fun day...minus the fact that on the way to school I got a flat tire and spent all day at the tire fix-it store!

Destination...Utah

We took a quick trip to Utah last week to visit Michael's family. We haven't been there for a year and a half, and we know why!!! It is FREEZING for us Arizonians, and we HATE dealing with the snow. On the other hand, the kids LOVED the snow! They couldn't wait to get there and play in it. Logan is asking where all the snow went!

The girls loved playing with all their girl Utah cousins! I wish I had this many girl cousins!!

They played for a few minutes than ran back in...think they were cold!

Cute Girls!

It was snowing as we were trying to pack the car to leave. That was fun!

Snow Baby!

They even made a snowman. It was decorated the day before!

I think Logan could play in it all day. We would need snow clothes though.

We really went for Michael's oldest nephew's mission farewell, but ended up not being able to stay for Sunday. We had to drive home then Michael had to keep going on to Tucson, for 5 more hours. NOT FUN!!!

Let's Grow Together

In our ward they just changed the Young Women Presidency, and I got called to be the 1st Counselor! A little crazy, but it's gonna be a blast! I love YW!!! So, for our 1st Sunday teaching, I made some cute little handouts for the girls. We played some get to know you games too. It was a lot of fun.

I of course had to break the cricut out and get busy!

I made homemade suckers and glued them on a paper flowers. I tied all of our numbers on them too.

Hallie's new Skirt

Oh My...Little Hallie is so adorable! While my mom was here visiting, we went to a cute little boutique-like shop. I had to get this little skirt for her. So cute! I forget how much fun I have dresing up my baby girls!

Re-Do

While my sister was here visiting we re-did all sorts of stuff...she is the spray paint queen! We took Mallory's old pink and brown magnet board and painted it, and added a cute knob. The knobs were all on sale at HL that week! We took my red frame and painted it "Aqua", and spray painted that little can! Cute!!

we took my ugly brown shelves and painted them...made them look kinda cute again!

We have an old book shelve that broke in the move, so we each made a little board. Got cute knobs at hobby lobby and spray painted them!

This thing is the under basket thingy to our broken coffee table. We spray painted it and made it into something to be talked about!

We made a little Valentine paper garland to sting across it to. Looks cute!

I was sick of everything being so brown, so we did it...spray painted my clock. Crazy, I know!! It was lots of fun to re do lots of stuff. She needs to come back!!!
