Purple Grapes

Jenika played spring soccer through the Clinton City Rec. She did pretty good this year, she scored a couple goals, met some new girls, and had lots of fun! It's funny how small of a world it really is, Jenikas soccer coaches was our neighbors brother and his wife, they were goog coaches as well. They were so thoughtful and made each of the girls a metal with their name and team name on it. Their color was purple and decided on being called the purple grapes!

Lemonade anyone??

Lately Jenika has had this thing with wanting to sell Lemonade, she has done it a couple times with some of her little friends at Grandma Weavers house and is always begging to do it again. So when Grandma Sprau kept asking her what she wanted for her birthday she said a Lemonade stand and Grandma took her seariously and bought her one! Her first chance to use it was when we went over to Uncle Davids house for Easter. Jenika sold Lemonade to everyone who wanted a cup and loved doing it! I think she made around $3

Beach towel backpacks!!!

So we love to play in the water and go to the and stuff so I had this idea hangin' out in my head on a water friendly backpack. So I bought a couple towels and figured out how to make little towel backpacks for the kids to put their swimming stuff and sunblock in...I came up with these! I think they really like 'em

Set in stone (cement)

We had lots of projects to do this summer we put in our fence and we poured a mow strip underneath it for stability, water control, a nice clean look and easy to mow around. So when we were setting the pole for the gate we decided that was the best place for ours kids to leave their mark. We thought about hand prints but Kaycie was only 2 months old it was easier to do their feet...so we did!

Picnic table

The kids checking out the table that mom built!

I dont know how my pics always end up being backwards of how I want them to be. So anyways Kendall and I were in Home Depot one day and I saw a cute picnic table and told him I wanted him to figure out how to make one for the kids........Well little did I know I would be the one in the garage making it happen. So now not only am I addicted to sewing I am also liking playing with wood! I was blog searching as I do occasionally and found a blog called Knock off wood and saw the picnic table and instructions and dimensions on how to build it so I just couldn't resist and built the kids the picnic table. Needless to say they loved it!

The table all finished I just need to stain it!

A couple projects

So I started on my kids crayon rolls a few weeks ago and haven't been able to finish them so last week I finished everything I had to do and made a little time to work on some projects I have been wanting to make or finish making. So I finished the crayon rolls for the kids. Our portable dvd players have been on my mind since we bought them that I need to make a case for them so they dont get scratched or broken or anything so I figured I had better figure something out, so I got out some fabric and figured out how to make a case for one of them all by myself! I was so proud of myself for figuring it out, I usually need help with things and have trouble thinking things all the way through the first time but I thought of everything I would need and how to make it it turned out really good I thought. Then when I was done I was kinda searching through blogs to see if anyone had made one and couldn't find one then I came across a blog where a lady had made that both the dvd players would fit into so I might try and make one like hers also.

Easter

This Easter was lots of fun, some cousins came to visit. All the kids dyed Easter eggs and had dinner and an Easter egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa Weavers house. The kids also did the South Weber Easter egg hunt, Marshall got quite a few eggs this year and got a ticket to pick a prize, he picked a 4 pack of small squirt guns and everyone had fun with them. We also went to Uncle Davids new house for dinner and an Easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday. Jenika was so excited that she got her very own Book of Mormon for Easter when she saw it she screamed out "Scriptures!!" it was so cute! The kids got a couple toys and new church clothes. After the egg hunt at our house was over we explained why we have Easter to the kids, then we watched conference on tv.
