Discovery Park

My "Bonus Mom" Dawn works for JetBlue & one of the other airlines was having a BBQ at Discovery Park & invited JetBlue employees & their families to come along as well. I've never been to Discovery Park so I thought it would be fun to go. Plus there were going to be Bounce Houses, games & food. Bonus!! Me & the boys met up with my sisters Alicia & Amelia & our Parents & had a nice afternoon together at the park
(even though it was seriously HOT!!)


The boys had fun in the bounce houses you see in the background & here is Blake waiting for his turn athe the ring toss where you win suckers.

And here he is trying to win.

Here's Naunie with my Sonny & my nephew Mason waiting to win their suckers.

Blake played this spinning game for a long time & won a bunch of stuff. 
I would love to make one of these & have it for Birthday parties & other stuff.

Sonny & Mason.

Look!!!  We got our suckers!!!

Naunie & Mason.

He is such a "Kuty" pie!!!

Mmmmm...nothin makes a little boy happier than a sucker!!
We had a nice time & I thought the park was nice. 
Lots of places to have a picnic & to just run around.  I didn't see any playgrounds so if you ever go make sure you bring stuff to do...games or your bikes & make sure you have money for parking.

 (this was also the same day that my mom was released from the hospital after slipping & falling in a store she was shopping at.  she had a concussion so I picked her up & took her home because she was not allowed to drive.  I also helped her out by checking in on her over the next few days & picking up some groceries for her.  it's been about a month & she is recovering but she still gets a little woozy sometimes.  my poor mom.)

Happy Birthday Libby

Happy 5th Birthday Libby!!! 

Libby's Birthday was back in September & she  decided that she wanted to celebrate at one of  her favorite parks!!  It really is a cool park!!
 It was a great day for an outside party & she got lots of fun "girl" stuff.
Here's a fun picture of the new 5 year old that I took.
Doesn't she look oh so dramatic?!


The party was lots of fun with a pinata, cotton candy, cupcakes & a fun playground to play on.
Check out the pictures of Blake on the spiderweb.

For Libby's Birthday present I decided to make her this cute little tote bag & fill it up with markers & pads of paper.  I found the instructions here on this cute blog called Cluck Cluck Sew & her instructions were easy for me to follow & execute.  Go check it out if you want a simple little tote bag.
Outside of the bag.

Inside of the bag. 
I had fun making this bag & yes I whipped it up the day before the Birthday party.  I am such a procrastinator!!  I decided that I should make some for "Trick or Treating".

Couldn't leave out some fun pics of my boys!!!
Picasa is a great way to "spice" up my pics that don't always turn out so great.
I love it because it makes me enjoy the pictures that much more :)


Aren't they cuties!!

A Temple Sealing


Back on September 11, 2010 I had the opportunity to attend the Temple Sealing for my cousin Jason & his wife Melissa. It was wonderful & I was so glad I got to be there. I'm so happy for the wonderful life choices that Jason & Melissa made to get to be a family through all Eternity. They also had their son Jason 2 sealed to them that same day. I'm so grateful for Temple sealings & that the Lord has provided a way for us to be together not just though this earthly life but through all Eternity. 
It was just a great day...inside & out :)

(Here's a couple of "fun shots" of some family members that were there)

CONGRATULATIONS JASON & MELISSA!!!!
