Running in Circles

So I found these letters off a cute Etsy shop and fell in love!

I wanted to grab them for Hazel but they were charging $50.00. umm not going to happen when were poor college kids or ever for that matter.

I showed them to two of my cute momma friends and we decided to take on the project together.

Total cost was $4.00 because we got all the fabric for free. I'm so happy with how they turned out and Hazel has loved playing with them. They are definitely a little quirky ( that darn "s" was sooo hard to sew) but I was glad to get to practice my sewing skills again.

I think in a year or so they'll be perfect to start doing letter sounds and names!

Welcome to the world baby Savannah Sorensen.

We have really enjoyed the last few days visiting this cute new baby! Hazel is obsessed and Brice and I are awestruck. How do we forget so quickly how little these babies come!??

^Those little baby burritos...^

^I hadn't realized how RED our little bugs' hair looks^

Hazel sure loves having a cousin already! Good luck this week Melanie + Kris!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful father!

Today is a big birthday and we're all sad we aren't around to visit and celebrate!

When I think of my dad i think of him reading his scriptures every night, making piles out of the newspapers, BLTs, salt and pepper hair, helping me figure out how to break up with boyfriends and then telling me it will be okay, singing me to sleep, staying up until I got home on Friday nights, mutual activities,church basketball, and nights playing racquetball, huge biceps, a stickler for the rules and their consequences, soft spoken kindness, saying "bozo" ,Scout Leader, camping, a dirty truck, friend, a great teacher, and a pruner of a beautiful backyard and garden.

I hope I can develop more of your kindness for others and fierce testimony of the gospel.

Thank you for being a wonderful Father, Papa, and friend.

We love you!

Hazel is really excited for a new baby...NOT ours, my sister Melanies!

Savannah was born just a few hours after we took this video. We are so excited to have a new baby in the family!

Hazel has turned into a really good eater these days. I'm pretty sure she eats more food than I do in a day- and she just started loving green juice and fruit smoothies too!

But she has become a bit obsessed with using her own fork or spoon.... she even insisted on using a fork to eat her dry cheerios this morning.
