Avery's Swim Lessons

Avery had her first swim lessons this week. We were hesitant because she always freaks out if we make her try without her floaties. It was quite the opposite experience though. She loved it! every morning she would jump out of bed and put her swim suit on. She would then ask me if it was swim time. She would ask this every 5-10 minutes from 7 a.m. till 10 am. She really thrived out there and whenever it was over we practically had to pry her from the pool. Amber was her teach and has been so good with her. Avery loves Amber and draws pictures for her and this morning she told me that she wanted the brown sugar in her oatmeal to stay on the top like miss amber taught her to be a starfish and float on the top of the water.

Happy Mother's Day

Wheeler Farm, Salt Lake City

I love visiting my Mom. She is living about 20 minutes north of Salt Lake City in a beautiful town called Farmington. I do miss having her here but to visit such beautiful country is a special treat too. There is always something fun and exciting for the girls to do. This trip we took them to Wheeler Farm.
How both girls are such animal lovers I have no idea! Both Travis and I are not pet compatible. Avery has become very concerned that we are not a pet family and according to her"it's not fair!"
Therefore, they did enjoy visiting the farm. Here are some of the fun pics...





My New Toy


This past week I went to Utah to spend some time with my mom. While I was there I picked up a new toy. I got a used surger so that I can have more fun with my sewing projects. Here are my latest creations...

I made coordinating outfits for the girls. I don't have a full picture of Avery's dress but they are wearing the dresses in the mother's day pic.
