Eric's Birthday

Today was Eric's birthday. I planned a ton of things to do today so it wasn't exactly relaxing for Eric. The day started with the kids giving Eric his birthday present. They got him a fan for his laptop. I got him tickets for the Jazz game for next Saturday. I'm excited because the seats are on the lower part. Then we had to go to the church to help clean the building. When we were done we stayed for a primary teacher appreciation breakfast. Then we went to another church building to go to a friends baptism. I was asked to give a talk on Baptism. The kids enjoyed the baptism. We went home for about 2 hours for lunch and a small nap. Then the kids went to the store with Eric so then could get birthday presents for my birthday tomorrow. While they were at the store, I sold the glider. That meant that we could go buy the swivel recliner that Eric has wanted for a while. We went to look at Blackers and didn't like their prices. We then had to go to JC Penny for family pictures. Then we went to Soft Mart to buy the recliner. We ate dinner at Red Robin and then went to pick up the recliner. We got it home and were finally able to relax. It has been a full and exhausting day for everyone. I will have to remember not to plan such a full day next year for Eric.

Travis' 3rd Birthday

So Travis turned 3 today. I can't believe that my baby is getting so old. His birthday celebration started yesterday. Grandma and Grandpa come over and took Travis out for lunch and then to the book store to buy a book. Travis choose a Train book and ate at Burger King. Then Michele and Serena come over for cake and to give Travis the birthday present that they got for him. Then today we gave Travis his presents from Mom and Dad. I think that he likes all his gifts. Travis decided that he wanted to go out to dinner for his birthday instead of having a birthday party so we are going to Red Robin as a family tomorrow. It will be our combined dinner for Travis' birthday and to celebrate Valentines.

Tie Rack

I made a tie holder for Travis. He has needed something for a while. I think that it looks nice.

Lizzy's Bows

So I have been wanting to make something to hold all of Lizzy's hair accessories. I found one similar to this one at a friends house and decided I liked it. I'm excited at how nice it turned out.

Christmas Gifts

This is the fleece blanket that I got my mom for Christmas. She brought it with her when she came to visit.

I finally have the Christmas present from Eric done. It took some time getting it framed.

The kids insisted on getting a picture with my new picture.

Grandma's Visit

Grandma Tina was able to come to our house for a visit. It started with my mom missing her flight. We had to buy another plane ticket on another airline for the following day. She finally made it to Salt Lake the next day and then she took a shuttle to Idaho Falls. We had fun playing. We went shopping, out to dinner one night, and watched some movies. The kids had fun playing with Grandma.

One night we watched a movie and the kids had fun dancing to the music.

The kids also had fun playing dress-up. Lizzy decided to dress-up in Travis' costumes.

Travis is giving Grandma a hug.

Projects

Now that Christmas is done I can finally put the projects that I did as Christmas gifts. I made the first one for my brother and sister-in-laws. The second I made for Eric's parents. I thought they turned out really good.
