Luke's HP Party - Just a Peek

One of these days, I will catch up on the blog, but I was going through photos and thought I should share Luke's party decor. He and his friends had fun learning spells, doing potions, and drinking actual butterbeer with cauldron cakes. It's been fun throwing these parties for the kiddos. I need to put up the actual party pictures soon. Oh so much to do before the new little guy comes into our lives!

Pirate Party Part 1

Time for a PARTY!!

We are throwing a PIRATE PARTY on Monday! More to come about my sweet boys who have birthdays next week! We love December!

I love these giggly faces!

Since 2006 was the last time we took professional family pictures, I thought I would post a peek at my favorite faces. My talented friend, Amy Chamberlain, and I traded taking each other's pictures and I can't say how grateful I am that she came up with the idea and we actually saw it through. I will post more as I go through them, but on a gloomy fall day, I hope these faces make you smile! Is it summer again yet?

HALLOWEEN 2011

Here's a small peek at our Halloween this year. Harrrison is a ghost in a costume I wore when I was about his age and Luke is Bonehead. (kinda fitting since he had a bone infection ha ha!) And I do love all my boys, but that cute little bat is just too much!

Tonight is Women's Conference!

First of Three to Come...

How fun is this?! I am making one for each of the boys' rooms. Can you say addicted? Ok, now I MUST get my photoshopping done for paying clients!

subway art - yes i can!

A friend of mine asked me if I did this stuff and I said I didn't, but it looks fun. All I can say is new addiction. I have so many different versions of the one above and endless possibilities whirling around madly in my head. I am even thinking about printing these out, putting them in a cool frame and selling them...not to mention customizing them for people - think family proclamation, primary songs, playroom rules, favorite quotes...endless I tell you. Fun huh?!

SLC Temple

Just sharing a picture I took last night. I love the temple.

My Favorite Kindergartener

First Day of School - Luke

He Likes to Run Fast

Just posting a few straight out of the camera shots of my little runner. He is growing up way too fast and I can't keep up. Little cutie patootie.

A Pretty Spot in My Yard

It's finally starting to look like I want it to!!

Puppet Friends

Craft O' The Day at the Fullers. Thanks again, Grandma, for all the summer fun! As I write this, the boys and their puppets are having a dance party to the Bee Gees. Creativity at its finest, my friends!

Fling-a-Ring-Thing

Another fun craft a-la-Grandma. These babies fly far and if you take the little ring just off center, they spin like a torpedo. The boys are busy little fighter pilots today!

My Guys

Zachary wasn't as cooperative as his big brothers, but I still love this picture of Jonny with Luke and Harry. I love my guys.

Flying Friends

My cute mom always puts fun things together for the kids. This is one of many to come in the next month or so. The boys chose to make "flying friends" with pipe cleaners and paper. I was a little surprised they stuck to the original butterfly model and I have a feeling with the remaining materials we will see more things like snakes, dragonflies, and scorpions - ya know, boy stuff. You will notice there are sadly no pictures of the boys enjoying this craft, because they ran out the door to play with waterguns as soon as they were done. Nevertheless, they said, "Thanks, Mom (and Grandma)! That was AWESOME!"

A little side note I have to mention - last night the boys were naughty and wouldn't settle into bed, so I took away the privilege of doing the craft today and said they could earn it back by doing work for me in the morning. So bright and early, sweet Luke woke up and emptied the dishwasher, tidied his room, and read for half an hour. He came into our room before 8am and asked if he had earned back the craft. He sure did.
