A little of this and a little of that.

Yesterday we went to the Rigby, Id Stampede Days Parade and really enjoyed it despite the cold weather. David's favorite part was getting candy! He would wait for the people to throw it to him, then he'd pick it up, and put it right in his bag. He was so excited for the candy, that he wouldn't wave at anyone. He did however say thank you when they'd give it to him, so I guess all hope is not lost with that boy. We wish we had a picture to show you, but we forgot our camera, so you'll just have to know that it was fun and he was cute.

Friday's Farmer's Market went so well (with a big thanks to my wonderful husband for that one too!) that I need to make new clips to fill up my board again, so this is what I got accomplished yesterday night in just a couple hours. None of the clips below are finished completely, but I'm well on my way to filling up my board again. There are fabric, felt, and korker(ribbon) flowers.


I'm a little anxious to have our new baby here, so I've been working on some clothes for her and this is what I've done so far. The pink onesie isn't quite finished, but if you can't tell why not, then neither can I. : )

This skirt, which I made without a pattern and thus had to redo part of it once, was made from half a leg of some of my old jeans. It's also not finished. I want to add a "flower" of some sort to the bottom of the skirt and make more than one different kind, so that they're interchangeable to match any outfit.


The many facial expressions of David. We're not quite sure where he learned this one, but it's so funny!


We really don't want two kids in diapers, so we're trying to start potty training David. The only trouble is that he's not quite ready to be potty trained. He doesn't want to use the potty for anything other than a toy. However, the first time we introduced it to him, he did pee on the potty, so I had to take a picture.

The Happenings Lately...

My second Farmer's Market of the season and David kept me company.

He's showing you his delicious bagel.

Cindy Baldwin is doing the market with me and this is part of her display.

Cindy setting up her skirts and my craft table.

David found a little boy of one of the other vendors to play with. They were very cute together.
Todd decided to see if David would fit in the cupboard and what do you know? He does!
Since this time, David has tried to climb into the cupboard again...He seemed to enjoy it.
For one of our family home evening lessons, Todd was teaching David about Nephi and his brothers. They were just so cute together, I couldn't help but take a picture.
A random day when Todd decided to tie David up. He enjoyed it until he figured out that he couldn't get out.
Last week my mom, sister and nephew came to visit and we had so much fun! Here are some pictures from that time together.

We found this giant beetle while on our walk, so we stopped to take a picture of it.

Andrew and David after the walk...Our happy boys.
Todd sucking the boys' brains out, something he learned from his father.

One of David's favorite things to do is wear my shoes and go walking all over the house.

Margaret and I did crafts while she was here and this is one of the nursing covers that she made. Isn't it cute?

What we've been up to lately...

The weather's been so nice that we've started taking walks occasionally and on this trip we tried to let David swing, but (if you can't tell) he didn't enjoy it very much.



David's also been copying us a lot more lately and talking like crazy! He even occasionally asks for things the way he's supposed to, so hopefully we're getting out of the whiney stage...(I can dream right?)


David also got to try on Daddy's sweatshirt, I think it fit well.

Our St. Patrick's Day Feast...As tradition, corned beef, potatoes, carrots, and delicious rolls. I also made cinnamon rolls and we had green frosting and I dyed the butter green, but I didn't get a picture of it.





The Before...



And the After...I learned how to make things only on Thursday and I've made about forty.

I'm a little excited to be having a girl, can't you tell?
