Our Bouquets

Our Valentine's celebrating is pretty low key this year. I guess it usually is but especially this year. We had a ward party Friday night, Brent had a contact lens symposium Saturday and Sunday, and he has 24hour duty today. We did get to have lunch together today though, so that was nice. Anyway, he got me a bouquet of flowers Saturday and Morgan and I made him a candy bouquet to take to him at work today. She had a great time picking out the candy and was so excited to give it to daddy. It was pretty cute.
I am so grateful for the love of my life and for all the joy he brings to me. I am so blessed!

Sewing

I was buying material to make the new baby a blanket and felt bad that I wasn't making anything for Morgan. So I bought this material and made her a little dress. I rarely sew from a pattern so each time it's a challenge but I usually enjoy it. As I did with this. For some reason she thinks it's a princess dress and has to put it on to have a tea party with her Belle doll. I love that she loves to wear it and asks me to put it on fairly regularly.


This is a baby Kimono I saw in a craft book my friend gave me and I loved it. I had to make a few changes to make it work but I'm happy with how it turned out. As you can see, it has an envelope at the bottom and at the hands if I want.

Finally, my little quilt. I made one for Morgan 2 days before she was born with help from a friend and decided this new little one needs a quilt made by mom too. I got the idea from the Marta Stewart Magazine and kind of made it my own with many suggestions from my husband and brother. I'm happy with how it turned out as well.

Other Random Pictures

At Balboa Park. She has been obsessed with sitting on animals lately.

San Diego Zoo

Natural History Museum. I'm not sure you were supposed to sit on this one but that didn't stop dad from encouraging her since mom thought it was disgusting.


Safari Park (Wild Animal Park)


Play time with dad.

Sunset Cliffs

My brother Jarom's 25th b-day.

Random Christmas

I was a terrible picture taker this Christmas and therefore was not too excited about posting. (Which is why it has taken me two months to do it.)I figured I should post something for my own memories sake so here are some random pics from before during and after Christmas.
The first picture is our living room before we took all the presents to our parents. I left on Dec. 11th and didn't really have anyone over before then so at least I'll post my decorations on here so someone can see them.

We made Gingerbread houses from a box this year and it was pretty fun.

Hotel Del Coronado. Brent and I had a little date before Christmas and walked around and through this beautiful hotel on Coronado Island.
