Family Night

A few weeks ago we went to the beach for a bonfire for Mindy's birthday. We had so much food with the hot dogs, chips, cookies and birthday cake that by the time we got the marshmellows out none of us were really in the mood for them. So we decided to have family night last week in the back yard with a fire to roast marshmellows and make our smores. The kids wanted me to play a few of the songs they remembered from camping when they were little. "Our House",
"El Rancho Grande" and "Lolly Pop Tree". Ally loved that part... she sang all the songs even though she didn't know the words. There was only one picture of her and it's blurry but OH well. Can't get rid of it. It would have been cute had it been clear.

Me trying to see my music in the dark....without glasses. Not too bright!!!!!

I think Tanner really thought he was roasting these marshmellows. He really took this seriously.

Sewing with my girls

Ashley is here from Hawaii for a couple of months. She has been looking forward to coming home so that she and I could do some crafts and sewing together. She saw this dress on a friend's blog and wanted to make it so we watched a video on Martha Stewarts website and we whipped some up. Mindy came over and she wanted in on the fun and then mom/grandma didn't want to be left out so she made one too. They are so easy and fast. If you want to make one here is the link to the video http://www.marthastewart.com/article/smocked-sundress?autonomy_kw=little%20girl%20dress&rsc=header_2
