Now it's raining....
Now it's not....
Remember these colorful yarns? They turned into this cute crochet bag. I had so much fun putting this together. Adding a new color on each row made me want to keep crocheting just to see what it would look like. I love it!! I followed (loosely) the pattern from Lucy's Blog. I like to visit her daily just to see all of the pretty colors and fun photos she adds to her site.
Another view....
...and just look at these darling flowers!!!!
...too cute!
Guess What This Is?
Here is the final result. It isn't fancy, a very casual form--you just shape it with your hands. The dough is really sticky, not like most yeast breads where you knead in more flour. This isn't even "kneaded", just stirred, even though it's a very thick dough. It ended up making 2 loaves, crispy chewy crust, very light center. YUM!!!! We're going to enjoy the second loaf tonight with a chef's salad. If you're interested in the recipe, leave me a comment, or email me and I'll send it your way.
I had so much fun helping Kelsey get ready for the Prom. Several years have gone by since I've been involved with a daughter's High School Prom. Even though Caleb went to 3 Proms his senior year, you're just more "hands-on" with a girl. She decided she didn't want to make any formal "appointments" for her hair or nails. She asked me to help her, and I was good with that! A little nervous, but happy to help. She wanted a french manicure (which I had NEVER done before). But, I'm all up for a challenge, and I have to say---she was very proud of them after we were done. We only had to re-do two of them!!!
Next up was her hair. Roger had a little fun with the camera,as you can see. We found some rhinestone clips to put in the back of her hair that matched a ring she wore. She did a really good job with her make-up, she even wore false eyelashes!!!!
I love these pics with Caleb. I'm so glad he was home for the weekend so I could get pictures of the two of them together.
Aren't they so cute!
Love, love, love these two!!
Kelsey and her Prom date, Kyle
Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'
Oh, it just doesn't get any cuter than this, does it? Sweet, sweet Morgan.
Choo Choo...
Here's the big 3 year old taking a bath in mommy and daddy's huge tub! It's large enough for him to swim in. This kid does love the water. I can't wait for him to come visit and swim in our pool this summer. We'll have so much fun!!
What do you see happening in the photo above? Yes, we are all three lounging on the couch playing with our iphones. The kids were in bed (we should have been) and this is usually when we finally get to visit without interruptions. But, J & J recently got new iphones and we were all trying out and comparing new applications and games. The girls understand now why I love mine so!!!! Anyways, Joel thought the sight of us playing on our phones was crazy, so he picked up my camera and took a shot to document the moment.....
Fast forward to the next evening....Grayson is watching a Mickey Mouse cartoon on Aunt Sissy's iphone. He has been playing on mine for months and just can't get enough!! I think that's why they waited so long to get one--they didn't want to have to share with him. He picked it up so easily. This weekend I showed him how to take a photo with the camera application, close it, and then go to photos to view them. Didn't take him any time at all!!! What a sight to see! I guess we really do live in a technical world....
