Leg Warmers, But Not the Flashdance Kind...

As most of you guessed by now, I'm willing to try just about anything crafty, even if it means that I will suck at it. And I will be honest, most of the time I do! Ha! That's okay with me. I'm fine with it, so when I was looking around the other day at a consignment store I saw these cute leg warmers called BabyLegs. They are adorable. They're for babies who are just starting to crawl and protection from the ground, scuffing and all that that happens to their little knees sometimes.

Well, I don't have kids crawling anymore, but I've been noticing little girls wearing them as arm warmers and leg warmers. So, my friend Deanne Galloway gave me the link to a tutorial on how to make them. I found that some of the steps were confusing, so if you have any questions, just ask me. The link is here.

Evie and I went with my Grandma and Grandpa Johnson to the play and they loved it. I think.

Makin' the Headlines!!! Well, Not Technically the Headlines...

Bucky, Ethan, and our brother-in-law Brady Cash made it into the Salt Lake Tribune! How fun for them. Evie and I saw the show last week and had a great time. I'll post those pics next time but for now here's the newspaper article.

What the Heck???

Something miraculous happened this morning.

Let me preface this story with a little back story. Reed and Annie had us for Christmas this year. May any of the Massey siblings be so lucky next year! They had divine intervention I'm sure of it. Okay, so drum roll please.... This is what my kids did this morning....




They are sitting here playing Sequence for Kids all by themselves. I am in heaven, I thought this day would never come when I didn't have to play the game WITH the kids. Not that I mind, but you know!!! It's exciting and fun. But I should knock on wood, there we go, because they will probably start fighting now. :D

New Hat and Ethan Skywalker (Number V)

No joke this is what Ethan said to me today, " Mom do you think I look like Luke Skywalker when he's in the snow lands?" And I'll let you be the judge...




And also I went to Kid to Kid which is a consignment store and got Evie one of those crocheted hats. I've always wanted to get her one and they were on sale today. She's lucky she's so cute...

Snow Angels

It's snowing again!!!

Homesick

This last Friday I had the sad opportunity to attend the funeral of Jon Roy Meyer. The Meyer's are great family friends of ours. We grew up together and were also friends with his wife's family, Craig and Sharon Stevens. It was amazing to see so many there from the Sterling Alaska Ward there. I miss that ward more than anything and wonder, is that normal? Has anyone felt that way about a church they grew up in? Being around so many people that I grew up with made me super homesick for Alaska. It's a different kind of state with a different type of people...Back me up my AK peeps!
