Everytime I post on my blog I say I’m going to be better at posting. This time I’m not even going to go there because who knows when I’ll post again. Anyhow, I figured I had better talk about Independance Day. It was a lot of fun. My siblings that live in the states came to Logan to spend it with us. So, we had: Lini-Lia and Lei Poli-Meg, Kailei, Nana, Riki, Iuli Me-Jon Rina-Mani, Noa, Tui, PoPo It was a full house! Luckily my MIL and my sister LOVE eachother because my sisters stayed at my in-laws and Poli and his family stayed with me and Jon. We kept very busy trying to do as much as possible while we were all together. We had bbq Friday night with my apartment people. Then watched fireworks from Patty and Erics lawn. Then we got to play...
Read MoreInfant Class of 2009-10
I have been trying for days now to get a class picture…and I FINALLY did it today!! The kids have been in school since May, but with illness and nap times we haven’t been able to get everyone in the picture. As you can see to your left, Julian, is sleeping. It’s a miracle he fell asleep in the swing. Once I saw he was sleeping we hurried and got all the kids together. If you’re wondering why they look a little awe struck it’s because Lorena (teacher assistant & friend) is behind me making noise to get their attention. She did a FABULOUS job!! heehee. Anyhow, here are a few more pics…I just can’t get enough of these babies. They’re so freakin’...
Read MoreAnother Craft…A Lovey
I’m sure you’re all sick of seeing the crafts I’m making, but that’s all I’ve done lately. I’ll post a recipe another time. Anyhow, this project was really easy. it’s small and just something for a baby to hold. Kim, my cousin-in-law, gave me the idea. She said it’s perfect for babies. All you do is get two pieces of fabric and different colored/textured ribbons and sew it up (ok…that’s very vague, but I’m too tired to think of how to explain it…sorry). So everyone go make one or twenty…heehee....
Read MoreAnother Craft Project: Mirrors!
A little over a year ago I bought 9 mirrors from Ikea for only 1.99 each. I stained the frames and left them outside to dry. Well, I ended up going to girls camp and totally forgot my frames were outside. Generally, that’s not a problem in August here in Utah because we don’t usually get any rain. NOT the case last year. It rained on my frames and ruined them. The wood seperated at the corners making it unsalvagable. However, I refused to throw them away. I just stacked them up and put them in a corner. Yesterday I was bored and decided to do something with my frames. So I cut fabric out to wrap around each frame. I adhered it using a hot glue gun. They’re BEAUTIFUL!! Now I hope it doesn’t take another year to hang them. heehee....
Read MoreCrafty Wednesday!!
My school closed down for the rest of the week and will be opening up on Tuesday because half the school is sick. So, I got to stay home and twittle my thumbs all day. ACTUALLY, I got a lot done. I baked four loves of bread, went and hung out with Kim (Jon’s 1st cousin Andy’s wife…they just moved into the apartments) and Campbell, her baby. I had so much fun playing with Campbell that I went home and made a stuffed giraffe. I’ve never made one before, but I’d seen them around. I hope it lasts for at least a week. I don’t really know how to sew so don’t look too close. I even drew the pattern myself. That was pretty funny. I was just finishing it up when Jon got home. He asked where the pattern was so I showed him...
Read MoreChicken Cordon Bleu…oh so cheesy!
I don’t know about any of you, but I LOVE chicken cordon bleu. I’ve never made it myself until about a month ago. I didn’t have a recipe because I figure there’s not much to it…right? heehee. So, I made it up and I’m sure Jon was nervous, but he loves me so he ate it. AND he loved it! So here’s what I did. BTW, I’m not very specific. I really think every recipe has room for doing whatever you want with it. This will definitely be one of them. I’ll give you the ingredients, but I’m not going to say how much I used because I have no clue. Enjoy!
