Our holiday weekend

We had a fun Valentine's weekend. Our kids had Friday and Monday off of school because of President's Day and my cousin, Kelly was at Fort Lewis for a couple of weeks, so he came down here to visit with us for the weekend. On Friday we just hung out, talked, ate pizza and watched Funny Farm.

On Saturday we got up early and visited VooDoo donuts (that's a crazy place), and went to City Liquidators, which is a crazy furniture and catch all store in Portland, then we headed back home for two basketball games and a birthday party. That night we went to Stardust diner and ate some yummy food for our very romantic Valentines dinner! :)

On Sunday after church we enjoyed going along the gorge and seeing all the beautiful falls behind Multnomah Falls. Some of those falls are gorgeous!











On Monday we wound up our weekend by taking Kelly back to Fort Lewis and visiting the Air Museum in Seattle. That place is HUGE and the kids and Pete LOVED it. I would definitely recommend going if you have never been. It is very cool.

It was a fun weekend. I enjoyed seeing Kelly again and hanging out with him. He is more like a brother to me than a cousin. Thanks for visiting with us, Kel!

Crafting mania!

I have been crafting like crazy the last two days! I have been wanting a heart wreath to hang up and my sister found one on a blog she thought was cute. She forwarded it to me and so I went and bought all the stuff to make it on Saturday and started my crafting Monday. I also made a new headband for Shaylee and a cute shirt that I found on the same craft blog as the wreath. All the projects turned out so cute I was way happy with my crafting mania.

On Monday I made this:



And started this:


On Tuesday I finished it-

And made this:



Shaylee looked so cute today for her Vday party at school, but I didn't get a picture until after she took her bath, so she has her jammy top underneath. Oh well, next time she wears it I will take a cuter picture. You get the idea anyway.

A few weeks ago I made this lovely banner! (this picture is for you, Cindy!)





Phew! I am about crafted out! Now onto more bows....

Cute in her new do!

About a month ago Shaylee got her hair cut! I love her long hair and was sad to see it go, but she came up to me in December and said she wanted it cut to her shoulders, so I obliged. She looks darling with it in a bob, so my sadness was soon overcome with how cute it looks.
