I have been wishing that we could get parks picture taken by a professional so that we would have some nice pictures to hang on the wall...but with our budget that is out of the question. So I thought to myself..."photography can't be all that hard." So I took things into my own hands and I called my AWESOME MOM who happens to own an awesome camera. We spent an half hour in Nanny's backyard and snapped some pictures. They turned out wonderful...but not quite professional. So then I turned to my trusted photoshop...and after a little researching I found some new tricks. Each of these photos took literally 30 seconds to enhance! So maybe they aren't quite "professional" they are perfect for my walls and I am SOOOO excited. I am also craving a new camera. After playing with mom's camera and reading up on how to use all the settings...I want one of my own. Tyson said if I save all of my pennies...than maybe one day I can get one :-) Thank's mom and nanny for your help!

Soccer Game!

Maxx LOVED his cotton candy at the Kacie's soccer game the other day!

It was a fun afternoon on Tremonton.

Parks...what a cutie

Parks is going up so fast! He is almost walking! He can pull himself up and walk around a coffee table and he can stand for a few seconds on his own.

Before we know it he will just take off.

No he didn't stay like this the whole nap. Parks wanted to sit by himself so Tyson rocked the chair until he fell asleep.

Fun Shower Curtain

I have been trying to find ways to spice up my apartment for well...free. So I started with the bathroom. We have had a plain clear shower curtain that needed a little life. So I dug through my fabric and found this big piece of cream. It had a few spots but with a little creativity and clearance fabric from wal-mart this is what was created...

 The flower is not quite all sewn on...I ran out of iron on stuff but after my run to joanns today it will be done!

 You can't even see the stain after I put on the stripe.

 To make the flower I cut the different shapes out.  ( I only bought 5 to 10 inches of each fabric and it was plenty to do the curtain and now I have more scraps for my next project.) Then I cut out iron on stuff (I think it is called wonder-under) to fit each piece and pinned them into place. Once I had it looking just like I wanted I ironed them down and sewed them into place.

I even had enough fabric to make the hangers and then added buttons! It was so easy and fun to make!

I'm Santa :-)

It was a messy morning...now it's bath time!




Just a short video from the other day.

April Showers bring more May Showers and a lot of fun!

 May has been wet, but it has still been fun! Parks is getting very big. He went to the doctor and he is growing like a weed. He is 14 lbs 7 oz. So almost double his birth weight. We have been spending as much time outdoors as we can (which isn't much) but we watched Grandma, Grandpa and Kaiden garden and roasted marshmallows. Kaiden taught Parks all about bugs and worms and even let him touch a worm...how nice is he....
I had to snap this picture of Parks and Grandpa Irwin, they are both so intently watching the TV. Grandpa is trying to teach him about basketball.

 

Kaiden was trying to show me his worm, but I think it fell off.

 Parks loves his wrap and his shades. He wanted to help us clean so dad strapped him to

front and they cleaned together. Parks even helped vacuum and wasn't scared at all this time! 

Parks at the Park

Nummy Cereal! But he wasn't feeling to well so he only ate a few bites.

We had a break in the rain the other day so we went on a walk to the park.
My sewing projects lately have been these little ribbon blankets. Parks loves the one aunt Morgan made him. So I have made these for some baby showers I have been going to. They are easy and made completely out of scraps...which means they are pretty much FREE! They were a hit. I also made the bib that Parks is wearing out if scraps. We decided to try him on some rice cereal hoping it would help him sleep through the night again. He wanted to eat it, but ended up not feeling well so we will try it again another day when he is feeling  better.
