Teacher Gifts

As the school year was ending I wanted to make something for Preston's preschool teacher and his speech pathologist.  I got this idea from SVG cuts inspiration section entitled "Back to School Teacher Gift" by Amy McCabe.  The instructions to make this teacher gift can be found here.  Surprisingly they were really easy to make and I really liked how they turned out.

Memorial Day: 2014

Happy Memorial Day! We have made it a tradition to take flowers and see our grandparents graves each year.   I'm hoping my boys will gain an appreciation for their ancestors.  I am also so grateful for  those who gave their lives to protect this great country we get to live in. 

Spencer did not want his picture taken at all.  It seems like he always starts crying when I whip out the camera.  All he wanted to do was run around and play with all of the fun stuff on the grave sites, especially the pinwheels.

My Grandma Lanier.  It looks like Spencer is putting flowers down but he's actually trying to steal them.

We had lunch at the City Creek Mall and the boys loved the waterfall.  They actually love everything about this mall.

A Mother's Day mini album

A couple of months before mother's day I decided that I wanted to make our moms a mini album.  I don't think I have ever spend more time on a project than this, but I love how it turned out.
