Visit with Meghan

My dear friend Meghan came to Utah to visit! The last time we saw each other was at our ten year reunion when her baby Kendall was 1 week old! This little girl is a riot! She is so happy and smiley and completely content with hanging out playing by herself. She also will randomly blow rasberries at you to communicate, and usually she got a pretty good reaction out of people (especially my kids), when she did it so she would keep doing it. Hilarious. Madelyn really enjoyed having her around too, she thought that this baby was pretty neat because she would actually play with her. Ian can't play yet so he isn't fun for her.


We have somehow made it a tradition when we are together to be "crafty." I showed Meghan how to make a tutu for Kendall and Meghan showed me how to make some satin hair bows. We also made some fabric hair bows, a skirt for Madelyn (check it out in my Easter post) and some watch bracelets. A lot of our inspiration came from a womens expo that we went to that had a whole building full of booths with products especially for women, jewelry, clothes, crafts, etc. That place was crazy! There were so many women there and we had two strollers to push around.
Here are a fraction of the bows we made:





We took these fun pictures of our kids because lets face it, kids are cuter than us aging women,























although we tried to take a picture on our way to the airport early in the morning of us because we realized that we hadn't taken a picture of us the whole time she had been there.


yeah not too pretty, huh

Auntie Meghan playing with Ian


Oh we had fun, we decided to make it a annual tradition to get together and craft no matter where we move to. It was so fun to be together, just like old times, it really comforted my soul, and made me feel so blessed to have her in my life. It was also a pleasure to see her be a mom! She is wonderful and it just tickles me to see her in the joy of motherhood! "Lob" you Megs!

Dare Essay winner

 (Early Spring 2022)  Ian was selected to read his essay at his DARE graduation! They called the top three essays for each class and Ian’s was picked to read for Mr Thompson’s class. They had to read their essay on the spot in front of the whole 5th grade and their parents! He was just getting over a sickness so his voice was a bit crackly but he did great! He got a big trophy too! I had a cough drop and bottled water in my purse in case he needed it, but he didn’t. Mr. Thompson pulled me aside and jokingly said that he has highly considering holding Ian back so he could be in his class again, he just thinks he is the coolest kid.  Ian has also loved Academic Team this year! He took 4th place in the science assessment category and was able to compete at regionals.                                                      His best buddies Keaton...

Grandpa & Grandma Young Visit

Image
Grandma & Grandpa Young drove all the way from Idaho to visit us!  It took them 2 1/2 days because they stopped at Mt. Rushmore, but they got here around 1:00 pm and we were all so excited and when Rylan got off the bus, they were there waiting for him! With G & G Young comes the I-pad which is a good way for Grandmas and Grandpas to get to actually hold their grandkids all they want.   Ian learned quite a bit from the I-pad just from their time here.   Ian has learned to say, "cheese" whenever someone points a camera at him  I am sorry to say that we didn't do that much, and when I asked them what they wanted to do they said that just wanted to watch me be a mom and play with the kids. They even babysat while Scott and I went to a dance, and when Scott was out of town I went to play with friends one Friday.  I felt guilty leaving but they insisted on letting me have a night out away from kids.  We did hav...

Rylan and the Beginning of Mission Prep

(Early Spring 2022) Rylan was able to have one last percussion season. He got to play the timpani, which he LOVED!  They got first place many times in their competitions!                                                                                         Rylan asked Kyann to prom with a little help from his mom and her Cricut!                                                                           She said yes! Scott asked the priests in our ward especially those who had achieved an Eagle rank in scouts to teach first aid to the activity day boys. Each boy was assigned a to...
