dewey beach, again!

In June we went to Dewey Beach again with a bunch of friends from our ward.  We had so much fun and it was great to go back there.  I think if somebody had tried to tell me a year ago that I would be going again next year and that I would have a baby I wouldn't have believed them.  It's amazing what can happen in a year!

Zackary loved it!  We thought for sure he would try to eat the sand but all he did was grab handfuls and let it run through his fingers.   

Sadie also had a great time and wore herself out running up and down the beach.

Don't you just love those big blue eyes!

He wasn't too fond of the cold ocean water but had lots of fun splashing in a little bucket of water we gave him.

The sandcastle started out to be a Lord of the Rings mountain but ended up looking like a dragon.  It was built by all the big boys!

families are forever

Saturday May 1, 2010 we took Zackary to the Washington D.C. Temple to be sealed to us for forever.  It was a beautiful day and an amazing experience that is hard to express in words.  There were a lot of happy tears and Zackary was so good.  Everyone at the temple fell in love with him.  I will never forget looking at him while he sat there with his little hand on top of ours!  I wish everyone could have this experience because it definitely gives you a different perspective about eternal families.  We are so grateful to have another member as part of our forever family!

creativity

I love to be creative!  It doesn't matter if I'm using paper, paint, wood, stamps, or fabric, I love to see what I can come up with.  I wanted to share a few of the latest things I've created.

These are coasters.

I made this frame for my friend who had just had a baby girl.  She loved it!

dewey beach

Last month we spent a week at the beach with our good friends Peter and Sarah and their kids. We stayed in a little beach house that was about a 2 minute walk to the beach. Everyday we would get up eat breakfast and head to the beach. We had so much fun!! Here are a few of the highlights in pictures.

The sunrise the first day we were there.

Our first time on the Boardwalk. There were so many cute little shops and lots of yummy food. French fries, carmel popcorn, and soft serve ice cream cones which ended up being our favorite. I think we went back 3 or 4 times while we were there for ice cream!! The benches were really cool because you could move the top back and forth if you wanted to look at the beach or watch the people on the boardwalk. There were some very interesting people to watch!

Every day the boys would build a sandcastle, but they weren't just orindary sandcastles. They had tunnels through them that you could roll a golf ball through. It was fun to see what the little boys would imagine and watch the big boys make it. They came up with some pretty amazing sandcastles.

This last one turned out to be Jeff's favorite. One guy stopped on his way walking past and said it was the best sandcastle on the beach!!

Jeff and Cameron relaxing after a hard days work.

The last day I was sitting on the sand and they decided to build the castle around me. They built the sand around me so I had a chair and then did tunnels that went around and underneath me. I had sand everywhere on me by the time they were finished but the little boys thought it was great fun!!


We were able to take Sadie with us and she had such a great time too!

Peter had a balloon rocket launcher that he would shoot balloons in the air and the kids would chase them. Sadie decided to join in on the fun, which is weird because she never chases anything outside. She wore herself out pretty quick!

This is our new favorite picture of Sadie.

Tiffany and Laney at the beach. We were watching Sadie run around and wear herself out and Jeff took this picture.

Going to the beach!

We didn't want to leave! It was a much needed vacation and great to get away from everything! Good friends, Good food, Good scenery, Good times, Great FUN!

Come visit and we'll take you there!

birthday cake

Sunday was my birthday and I decided to make my own cake. I know it sounds strange but let me explain. Almost a year ago my friend Sarah showed me how to do some cake decorating and she let me borrow a cake pan she had so I could practice. That pan has sat on top of my fridge for a year and I decided it was time I should use it and what a better excuse than my birthday. I tried to make it look like Sadie but I think the frosting turned out too dark. Oh well, it was fun and I think it turned out pretty good for my first try! Happy Birthday to me!
