The big bash!

So my sister and I have been busy little bees this last week. who would have know so much work and time would go into a 1st birthday/ halloween party. Good thing I love crafts, most of the food is bought, for those of you know me know I don't LOVe to cook:):) Well hopefully it is all worth it and on Saturday I will be posting the hillarious costumes we will be sporting....

So I just wanted to write a little blurb about one of my dearest friends. She is my inspiration on a daily basis. I just don't understand why she has to be going through this trial, I read her blog and she gives me inspiration once again. She is my hero in so many ways and I hope to grow up to be just like her. I love you Lisa Jo. So very much xoxoxoxo

So hopefully I will have some funny costume pictures and laughs to write about on Saturday... wish us luck:):)

Hawaii, and our baby turns ONE!!!

Our little family... at the beach.

So we went to Hawaii for a few weeks and were able to celebrate elle's first birthday! It was so fun to spend her first birthday with our best friends! We had so much fun!
Couldn't get a better view!


Danielle and I found a wonderful little bakery and they made us a cake for her! It was yummy!!!



The girls!

Elle's little birthday outfit that mom made her! She was quite the little adorable girl!

So proud of her walking skills!

We went to the Luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center. Yummy!!!

We took family pictures these were some of our favorites!

The first three days we spent over in Kauai with Bryce's family. It was the first time Aunt Linnae got to meet Elle! So much fun! We tried to get some family pictures there also, but it was so hot and rainy the night we picked! of course! A few turned out pretty cute! We sure had fun with you guys!

All of the girls!

The oh so handsome boys!

What an adorable family! After the three days in Kauai we flew over to the north shore and had so much fun with our best friends. Elle and London sure had fun too! Elle has started walking everywhere so she sure kept us all busy!

The boys at pipeline! We had to go watch all the surfers. Bryce really wanted to go surfing with them, we talked him out of him:)

Look at that cute smile!!!!

What a beautiful Mommy!

Playing at the beach.

Again in Kauai with Grandma

Well after we had two parties in Hawaii to another one at home. We have a Halloween/ birthday party for her this Friday... can we say spoiled. So after four parties elle will officially be one! Does this mean I get to skip the next four years of parties:) jk!

We had so much fun in Hawaii, mainly playing on the beach, playing dominoes, and eating lots of chocolate covered macadamia nuts. Oh and can I say ICE CREAM! We definitely have some gym time ahead of us:) We came home to 50 degrees and are missing the beach already.

Some Birthday outfits!

I looked up Happy Birthday in the Hawaiian language... really hoping that is right:)

I ordered striped baby legs for her. I just can't wait for her to get to wear it!!!

So here are a couple outfits we made Elle. We are going to be in hawaii for her real birthday, and are throwing a halloween party for her when we get back. So yes the girl had to have two different outfits!!! So fun!

Summer projects...

So I was cleaning out my inbox and came along some of my projects this last summer. Thought I would share, of course I didn't take any pictures of the diaper bags I made.. maybe next one I will remember...

Wipes case

Some bags I made for the sisters birthdays. Can you tell I am an Amy Butler fan?

One of my first projects... burp cloths!

A Lovey I made for baby Isabella.

A photo shoot, and play time with Logan!

My girlfriend makes all these headbands and flowers so she used elle as a model for some pictures! It was really fun ( for us moms) but elle wasn't having any of it. Guess she doesn't take after elle macpherson:) She definitely had fun playing with Logan though.

Dearest Winter

Please be good to us this year. We would like no below zero temperatures, and no wind. If you could go away by February that would really make us like you.

Sincerely,

An Alaskan resident.
