Day 4

Warner and Abbie (aka. Coach) had their first soccer game so we suited and sun screened up and headed to the field. 

Sweet girl

Team Huddle: The Fire Bears

War was more interested in kicking the dirt around

Warner wasn't feeling soccer that morning

Even with a  grumpy face he was the cutest little soccer player out there!

Her feet were hot. She's a smart little cookie!

Running up and down the hill proved way more fun than soccer

Doing her gymnastics tricks

Summer Olympics 2020 here she comes

Gabby Douglas better watch her back!

That night we went to the Gerber's beautiful new home for swimming and a bbq with the fam. Somehow I managed to get a total of "0" pictures there. Huh... We had a great time regardless and it was fun to see everyone!

Day 3

Day 3 started with a delicious breakfast and sisters date to get pedicures. When we left the house Ant wasn't feeling very well and when we walked in the door we came home to Brandon cleaning up throw-up. It was both sad and hilarious. We laid low the rest of the day and played games, watched movies and read stories. It was lovely.

Lollie and grammy were supposed to come but Lollie was more interested in watching einstein with the boys and grammy was busy at home preparing for the bbq the next day. We missed them both. Here's Em's and my toes, I went with an appropriate Cass color and love my bold toes.

Girls Trip day 2

Day 2: After my early morning dentist appointment we headed up the canyon to Tibblefork and spent the day going for ranger rides, fishing with grandpa, picnicking, playing in the water and feeding small animals sugary, sweet treats. 

Lollie passed out cold on the ranger, apparently she has quite the track record of naps on the ranger. Silly girl!

Sisters

Who knew little chipmunks liked rice crispy treats and chocolate chip cookies so much

 The water was more freezing than refreshing but the boys loved it and braved it longer than I did

First Annual Girls Week

Day 1

Day one started with me arriving in SLC wednesday morning. I had the opportunity to go to lunch with Becky and Tess for a girls lunch and my birthday. I wish I had gotten a picture but we had a lovely time and it's always nice to be with the Seare girls. We walked through Fashion Place Mall after lunch and it's the first time I had been there since the construction has been done. It is a beautiful mall and I felt like we were walking through Fashion Show mall in Vegas.

Emily and Anthony flew in around 4 pm and we all headed to Abbie's for a BBQ/birthday party that I spoiled by walking in on Ab setting up. Oops ;) We had a delicious dinner followed by home cranked ice cream and cake. Abbie also purchased a 'Cass' piñata and everyone got a turn at cracking her open.

Buckett was in town, it was great to see him. (Even if he does stink like cigarette smoke haha)

Mom and War getting the churner? all prepped

Ab, Ant, Lollie and the piñata form of myself

She's a Freak!

This is a great photo of my dad, I love it!

Decapitated! Yikes.

Happy as can be

  Happy Birthday to me :) thanks for another great celebration fam!

Buck, if you're going to take pictures of yourself on my phone then prepare to have them shared!

He's a Gold-Digga!

My Golden Birthday

 Golden Birthday n. Definition: a person's birthday when they turn the age of their birth date.


On July 23, 2012 I turned 23 and celebrated the one and only Golden Birthday I will ever have.  Although I broke my personal cardinal rule to not work on my birthday (for the 2nd year in a row ;( ) thanks to my loving husband, I had a great day. He took me to dinner and then we went home and enjoyed cupcakes from my darling friend/coworker Britta while he treated me to a spa foot treatment. I usually don't like foot rubs because I am 1. really ticklish and 2. would prefer a back tickle and/or scratch but it was like heaven and I can't think of anything I would have rather done.

Thanks to all the love and birthday wishes from everyone else out there! I had a great birthday thanks to all you as well :)

Sew Nice

My sweet sister Abbie lent me her sewing machine last month and I have been trying to take advantage of it while I have it. I haven't sewed in years but so far so good. I started off with a small project to get my confidence up and it has been very fun and successful since. Now I just need my own machine! (HINT, HINT jeff ;) he knows already but a kind reminder never hurts) [I know I'm getting a house people, I'm not really asking for anything else anytime soon but I wouldn't take it back if one found its way into my possession] Ok, on to my projects then..

First, I made this small "park" bag for Scout to carry his water and ball in. Silly I know but I had the fabric and needed the practice.

Next, I made a hooded towel for my sista Lisa who is pregnant with her first baby. Turned out pretty good, minus the crooked "N" but I don't think she'll mind! It was super easy too! Here is the link if anyone is interested in making one.

Maxi skirts are all the rage right now and since it's unbearable to wear garments and pants for more than 20 minutes at a time here in Vegas,  I made myself one. And there will be plenty where that came from as soon as I get myself over to the fabric store this week!

I bought this shirt a while back, I love the top and sleeves but it was too long, boxy and drapy? drapey? Anyway, you get the idea. I cut it off and put a band on the bottom, problem solved :)

Scout loves to help me sew

he takes off with my scissors and leaves me little surprises like this one. 

My sewing skills are definitely a work in progress but I am enjoying having a machine and time to play with it! Hopefully many more to come :)
