Handkerchief Curtains!

So I will be honest from the get-go, I am like a little old lady at heart and love old, vintage things. I love to roam in antique stores and secondhand stores for hours and just "look" and "touch" and enjoy the story that these items can not tell.

Onto one of my wild projects, since I can't sew myself...I recruited a handy woman :) Natalie was my "mentor" in completing this project....she was of course fabulous! THANK YOU AGAIN NAT!!

Me "trying" to sew

Yep! That is right I did it! I sewed all of them except one square, in which I was "taught" how to sew it on by Natalie. I LOVE LOVE how they turned out! Seriously. I LOVE them! This is just one side though. I did two panels. All the handkerchief squares are unique in their own style and color.

Now on to hang them and hope that my husband likes them....

weekend getaway to ID

I got to make a quick trip to ID and I am so glad I did because it was SOOO much fun even though it was literally for like only 30 hours that I was there...sooo worth it though! I flew into Boise really late Friday night and went and stayed at my parents' place in Boise with my Mom and Sisters and Sawyer! Miss Field was up there visiting with my sisters and I am so glad she was still there when I got there so I could see her and catch up with her for a bit too! It had been way too long since I had seen her! It was so much fun to just hang with just us girls - I miss my family lots, wish we lived closer....anyways, that next Saturday morning, our cousin Whitney was getting married and I am glad it worked out where we got to be there to go to the wedding and get to see lots of family!

Whitney and Brad - Congrats! (it was totally windy and started to rain when we got there...however it was so pretty still) Whit looked so beautiful!

LOVE LOVE my sisters!!

Fun after the wedding with some family - Sawyer got lots of love from everyone! She and Palmer got some play time in too after their naps ;) I got lots of love from sweet little Leighton - I just love her to pieces! Parker loved holding Sawyer - he is getting in lots of practice for when he will be an uncle here super soon! :0) Soy of course gets lots of love from our Ginners too!

After we left the wedding/reception Hailey and I quickly swung over to one of my girlfriends house - Sharis! We got to catch up for a bit and play with lil Miss Bentley! She was so stinkin hilarious and wanted to love on Sawyer literally every second! Love you guys! :)

That is one thing Sawyer does not lack of....lots of love from us! We love you Sawyer!! xoxo

Later Saturday we headed back to GF and got to see Ty and then we got to see Pete and Andrea and the kiddos too!

This view in the mornings never do get old....I am so lucky to have grown up where I did. Such a beautiful place - so many wonderful memories!

It was also the first time being back home since Papa had passed away. This time being there wasn't the same without him around. I miss him so much and think of him so often. Of course, we stopped in to have a chat with him, Riley, and Shelby before we got on the long trip ahead of us...that was one thing Papa loved was going for nice rides. Miss you and love you all - thank you for holding such a special place in my heart. I will love you forever.

I rode with Hailey, Sawyer, and Pumpkin on the first stretch to Provo, since Carli had driven up seperately and wasn't go the rest of the way to STG or Cali. Lets just say we did not just go from Point A to point B. :) LOTS OF FUN! Thank you for the fun little trip familia!! LOVE YOU ALL!

look who is 2!!

Klara and Cozette turned 2! Sara, Rhett and the girls happened to be in town so we all got to celebrate with them on their birthday! It was so much fun - they got to swim, eat cake and ice cream, and open presents! They got some super fun gifts that they loved and wanted to play with all night :) As you can see Klara loved her "birthday hat" she got! They are at such a fun age right now trying to talk and talk and love to play - so glad we got to celebrate with these 2 cutie pies! We love you girls!! xoxo

Memorial Weekend

Over the weekend we had so much fun! My mom and my sister Hailey, along with baby Sawyer and Miss Pumpkin came from Cali on their way to Idaho and then Ginny had been staying here in STG for a bit, then Car Car of course made her way here from Provo to come spend the weekend together. I'm so glad that it worked out that we could spend so much time together and get to catch up. This was the first time that I had seen Sawyer since I was out there when she was born. It is crazy how much she has changed and how much bigger she has gotten - I just love her to pieces! Anyways we all got to oooh and ahhh over her and the pups enjoyed playing together of course! Such a fun weekend! Love you Soy!

lil twinners

One afternoon while Sara and the girls were in town, I got to spend a little time with these two lil cute twinners. They love their babies. They love to push their babies in their babies' strollers. They love the park. It was so cute to watch them. They are a crack up. I just love them!

Klara & Cozette

Clutch and Kruz trying to get to "higher" ground so that they girls couldn't reach them. I think they were tired from the girls chasing them. HaHa they got their workout for the morning.

The girls taking their babies on a stroll with Grandpa Steve. They are pretty independent - of course they didn't need help, they could do it all by themselves!

Cozie girl loved the slide....she kept climbing back up and slid down over and over again! They were loving the slide!!

It was so much fun to get to spend some time with these 2 cutie pies! I loved it especially when Sara would ask "where is aunty ky?" and then they would pont to me and try and say my name....haha melts my heart...I just love them to pieces!

catchin' up

So some of the old roomies were coming to town and we got to get together with everyone! It was so much fun to get to hang out with Ash, Ash, Kristen, and our hubs! We seriously do not get together enough....nor did I get any other pictures. Anyways, Ash and Andrew are recently engaged and I am so excited for them. They are getting married the end of September out at Lake Las Vegas. Also, while in town Ash (Mackintosh) competed in a little triathalon - which she did awesome in - seriously she is amaizing, oh and don't worry she has a 7 month old baby. No biggie for her. Clearly I need some motivation to do something like that. I don't even have kids and I find all the excuses in the world not to run. Anyways, we had lots of fun going to dinner, hanging out at the pool, catching up with one another, walking around town, going to some shops, and of course getting our 'SWIG' on. :) Thanks for the fun time chicks! xoxo

R&R in the sun...

Now that school and graduation for Kyle is finally over this Saturday we wanted to do NOTHING but hang out together and enjoy the sun. We did just that. Seriously the first time we'd layed out in the sun all year....lame I know. Clearly we must have been much whiter than we thought because we both got "char-broiled." I hate when that happens. Anyways, we got our first burn over with so bring on the summer sun STG! ;)

My cute boys soakin' in some rays
