Articles of Faith Keys

We made these keys/key chain for an activity days project. I found the template on sugar doodle and just added some cute ribbon and left over fabric tied on to a key chain. They turned out so cute and can be clipped on to your scripture case so the girls can study and learn their articles of faith. The one side has a "key word" and the other side of the key is the verse.

The Best Camp in town!

Madeleine just loves her synchronized swimming camp with the Aquabells!

This was the 3rd year that she took it and they did an awesome routine - Keep in mind that they learn this routine in just 5 days and they were able to do a high light feature (lifting the girl out of the water). Plus the water they are swimming is 2.6 meters so they are not touching the bottom.

Strokes of Genius!

Me and my girls painted these lovely Canvas painting a while back. I really love how they turned out and how you don't have to break the bank to have cool art in your home!

My Flower Patch!

A picture from the back of the Joly Ranch!

My favorite Picture!

I always loved the Robert Duncan - Mother with Baby picture. I remember seeing it before I had kids - and loved it, I always wanted to try to duplicate it of me. After finding a night gown at Heritage Park and knowing Èvolette is my last baby - it was my last chance.

So here it is!
Madeleine took the picture - how did she do?

My Baby turns one!

Èvolette was very excited about her cake - she didn't want to wait to get her own plate.

She loved the paper more than the gifts.

My "up see daisy cake"!

Fruits of our labours!

Our little raspberry bush in the back yard is having a great year - we got all these juicy raspberries just today, and there is still more!

Girls Spa day!

Being a mother of 3 girls - I was under tremendous pressure to get these fancy nail polish pens at the stampede, but we sure do enjoy doing our nails with them now. Lady bugs and all.

Pint-size Picasso!

Charlize created this master piece using canvas from the dollar store, white glue with a little pink pant mixed in and an assortment of left over scrap booking supplies. For just 4 years old I think it is beautiful.

My New Addition!

This is my new Bike, that I am sooooo excited about. It is a Beach Cruiser - I got it at a quilting store in Raymond of all places. I just love it.
