Babies and Bags

I saw this bag featured on my friend Rachels blog and thought it was too cute to turn down. She had found a tutorial for it and so I got to work. It took me all night to make but it would have only taken me probably 30 min. to an hour to make if I hadn't messed up or done the whole "square" thing. I am quite proud of how it turned out and can't wait to use it. Just so you know what it is, it's a "wet bag". You can use it for swimsuits, wet towels, pool stuff, etc. You can also use it for dirty pants if you are potty training and your child has an accident. The inside is lined with vinyl and so you can clean it out with any sort of cleaning disinfectant. I had to make-shift my own handle because it doesn't have one on the bag on the tutorial. Fun Fun! Next, the other day I decided to try and straighten Brynlee's hair and curl it under. It was so stinkin' cute. She looked so old! I tryed to get it as straight as I could but you get a 16 month old and and blow dryer and that's as good as I got.

So cute!

Happy Mother's Day

I just wanted to wish all that mother's out there a Happy Mother's Day! And especially those that are closest to me.

Lindsay is my sister-in-law and a fabulous one at that. She is such a good little mommy to her little boy Weston and you can just see the love pouring out from her to him. She is so sweet and I love that my brother married you Linds. I love you!

My mom has always been there for me and I don't know where I would be without her. She is my best friend and I know that she will always be there to listen and give advice. She is someone I can laugh with and cry with and I couldn't ask for a better mother. I am so glad that she has been such a great mother so I have someone to look up to and ask for advice when it comes to mothering my own children. She loves her grandkids and they love her right back. I love you mom! My Grandma Neff is such a funny little lady. She is quiet, until she knows you and then she will speak her mind. She always has such nice things to say about my kids. I love you Grandma!

My Grandma Fullmer. There is nothing I can say that will do her justice. She is an amazing mother and I'm so glad that she has been such a wonderful mother and has taught my mom how to be such a wonderful mother also. She too is someone you can talk to and never feel like she is judging you. I love you Grandma.

And the best mother-in-law anyone could ask for. She is an amazing woman and I just want to thank her for raising such a fabulous son! She loves my kids so much and I love that I feel so comfortable around her. Thank you for making me feel that way. I love you Sharon!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Farewell Belle:(

After 5 1/2 wonderful years we finally decided to give Belle to someone who could spend the time she needed with her. We put her up on KSL on Friday and had one family come to look at her on Saturday night. They never called back and tonight at 5:00pm another couple called wanting to come look at her. They talked to Josh for about 3 min. and then took Belle for a walk around the block. When they got back they said they wanted her. It was all bitter sweet (for me anyway). When we told Jaxon to say goodbye to her he kept asking why? We told him she was going to go live with this nice couple, when he went to give her a kiss and a hug goodbye he started crying and saying that he didn't want her to go. It was heart wrenching. I didn't know it would affect him that much. Josh is having a really hard time with it, and surprisingly I am too. I know that many of you have heard my many complaints about Belle but deep down inside she was still my first baby. I really do love her and am going to miss seeing that face out my back door. I'm just glad that she went to the family that she did. They are a young couple with no kids. They live near Liberty Park and the wife only works 3 days a week so she is going to be home with her alot. She said she can't wait to take her to the park and play. I hope they will have as many fun memories of Belle as we do. We love you Belle and miss you already!

This was Josh spending some one-on-one time with her on Saturday night before the first family came to meet her. We didn't know if they were going to want to take her or not.

You can tell how much he loved her in this picture.

Brynlee loved looking out the window everyday and saying "Be" "Be"
