pretty amazing weekend

Oh  my gosh so much has happened this week and there are like a million pictures so I'm just going to dive right into it.
Lynlee is not much of a cuddler these days so I will take them whenever I can get them. Even if I have to watch Baby Einstein with her



Markham throwing at the Gator Invite. Such a stud!!

Where's Lynlee?

There she is!

Lynlee's cinna-stache she got after taking a bite of my cinnamon toast

Lynlee at Best Buy riding in a car cart for the first time. She loved it

The fireworks they're selling at Sam's. I had to have Markham stand next to them so you could see how ridiculously big the package was.

Lynlee decided to smear her manicotti all over her face

Our new shelves!! They're Ikea and I LOVE them. The baskets are holding our DVD's. I thought it was a way cuter way to have dvd shelves than our old one.

Our new 55" LED flatscreen!!! We got it for almost free thanks to Viggle!

My cute elephant

My flower arrangement I made myself

Tiles I made

My cute vase

SLIP 'N SLIDE!!



It was Lauren, Sarah, Taylor, Cameron, Amy, Markham, and Me.. and Lynlee. SO fun

Taylor wanted to be the guinea pig so this is him trying it out

Taylor covered in soap because we put Dawn all down it to make it more slippery

Lauren and Sarah in our "hot tubs" haha

Me and Markham in Hulk paint

So as you can see, it's been a pretty great weekend/beginning of the week. And my first mothers day was really amazing. Other than the fact that I woke up with a horrible cold. But Markham was so sweet all day and he took care of me and took care of Lynlee so I could take naps. It was so great. I truly have the best little family ever.

Crafting and Girls Night - A Few of My Favorite Things

This has been a super busy/pretty dang fun few days. Tuesday my dear friend Jess came from Ohio to visit and we crafted all day long :] it was pretty awesome. Then yesterday we had the track&field banquet and then I baked all day until the girls track team came over at seven for a girls night. It was pretty killer. I think everyone had a good time. We had tons of food and Mantush brought string to make friendship bracelets and tons of nail polishes to do our nails. I did my toes orange with white polka dots. SUPER cute. So here's the crafts we did, and then some pictures from last night.
These are blocks I helped Jess make. Her last name is Betts

Her and Nick before they were married

On the other side is pics of her and Nick's wedding

Cell phone holders. Yep, that's right. We made cell phone holders haha. Markham said it was the dumbest thing he's ever heard. But they're fun.

How the cell phone holder works. Hangs on the outlet and holds your phone next to the charger.

Coasters I helped Jess make

They are just tiles we bought and home depot and then added these chair stopper things to the bottom

For the track&field banquet Wednesday I decided to hand-make some certificates. They turned out so cute!

Up close

Shirt I made for the Invite tomorrow!! Can't wait (And it's not dry yet so I haven't made the back yet so I can't show you it)

Tiles I made to put on my new shelves I'm getting this weekend

Hinckley's Six Be's. I think I'll frame this one

Wood Block I made

Another wood block I made
ok I don't know why this picture is sideways but I'm not smart enough to fix it so just turn your head.
