My Projects & A Jack Update (Of course)!!!

The last 2 weeks Andrew has been gone a bit on different student retreats for work, thus I decided to take the time to make a dent on my "project list". These are just the fun ones, worth taking pictures of:
1. My addition to the kids room. As you can see I still have more additions. I thought one could be for each child, specific to them and their gender. Jack loves saying the right one is his and other is for "sitter".
2. I cannot claim this one on my own. To be honest I probably did 30% of this project, the rest was my very talented mother. I knew I wanted to make Emma a blessing dress, for fun and to save some green (which it did, the whole project = $20). It's not totally done, but will be adjusted when she comes, not sure what age she'll be when we bless her!
3. This one was brought on my Andrew. He came home from the Priesthood session of conference, with this great story and awesome quote. It really touched him, and I agreeing with him have made it our family motto. Plus, made this so it looks cute too!
Just a silly picture. He noticed me taking a picture of the quote, and said, "No mom, picture of Jack!"
UPDATE TIME:
We really haven't been doing much lately, which makes the countdown on your left go by ever sooooo slow. Anyway, UVU did a little employee fun night, so we went for an hour or so. Jack loved this slide; he had it all to himself for 20 minutes. First time another (older) kid went down the same time, he crashed and cried. Poor kid.

Our princess :)

FINALLY we got to go to the park today!! YEAH! And for the next week it just gets warmer, we are pretty thrilled. Here's Jack and his favorite girlfriend/ future wife Olivia.

ENJOY!

Well done my friend...I love Emma's dress, even if you only did 30% I would still be pretty proud...that's awesome! I think we are going to have a lost party, we want you guys to come...I am not sure if we will do it for this Tuesday's episode or for the finale....(it's on sunday so that sorta throws things off) but I'll let ya know :)

You might have already cleared this up, but is Jack in a toddler bed then?

Please let me know how the room sharing for little people goes

I love that family motto you picked! How did you make that motto thingy? I'm so amazed by crafts - I guess I shouldn't have played the "I'm a tomboy" card all the time in young women's an actually learned the skills.

Emma's dress is lovely. Who cares you only did 30% of the dress? You'll be doing 100% of the delivery!

Jack makes a beautiful princess! HAHAHA! A couple in my ward just had a baby and they names him Jack. I got exctied! Hopefully that makes you happy too unless you wanted Jack to be the only Jack...

I love your updates - I miss not being able to get them in person but blogs are a great secondary. I love the comments you make on my blog.

P.S. I didn't take a picture of me on the bus b/c I don't want people thinking I'm the crazy one riding the bus...
