Thanks Grandma Hart! Wes loves his new book and had fun putting together his candy necklace!

Back in Hilton Head

We are back in Hilton Head for the 4th time this year! Wes is loving having Mathew and Ryan so close by. The weather has been fantastic this week and of course, the flowers are lovely.

I'll be sure to post some pictures of the boys soon.

This is late but...

Happy Birthday Kelsie!
Kelsie turned 17 the beginning of the month, and this is the train wreck of a cake I made her. Funfetti cake with chocolate buttercream icing and white chocolate "scribbles" on top and some sprinkles just for fun.

An Oldie but a Goodie

I took this pic last time we were in Hilton Head. This drawer was Wes' "toy box", but we also kept his blanket in there. I was sitting at the desk on the computer (probably blog stocking someone haha) and found him like this. It reminded me of that Seinfeld episode where Kramer has the Chinese men sleeping in the drawers :)

We're Back!

Since we've been back I've been making the most of my time with family, and of course crafting. Saturday night I combined the two by going over to my Mom's house during the Preisthood session of conference to work on this lovely project. Mom provided all of the materials so all I had to do was paint, peal, and stick! I had fun with all the other ladies that came too. THANKS MOM! (want to see more of my mom's stuff? visit her etsy shop HERE )

Always wanting to try something new I decided to try out this cute baby bootie pattern. I'm sending these ones to my cousin in Idaho who is having a girl this month.

I modified and enlarged the pattern to include a leather sole for babies that are learning to walk. They still need a few finishing touches (see all the loose strings inside) and they need a home, they're too cute to sit in my craft room!
One of the things I miss the most while we are away is my kitchen. I made these ice-cream sandwiches for Hunter's birthday that we missed while we were gone. Brownie on the top and bottom with ice-cream and sprinkles in the middle.

Of course I have to throw in a picture of WES! Here he is enjoying one of the ice-cream sandwiches :)

One of Wes' favorite things to do here in Hilton Head is be outside looking at the turtles in the pond. He gets so excited and is always sad when we have to leave.

One of my favorite things about Hilton Head is all of the beautiful flowers. There is always something blooming!

Did I Mention...

That we are back in Hilton Head, South Carolina again. We got home from our trip Tuesday night and Thursday night we found out we were leaving SATURDAY :) We've been here for two weeks and should be back in Missouri soon. More pictures to come.

Days Three and Four

The Boys outside the National Baseball Hall of Fame

Wes was pretty tired by the end of the day so he decided to take a little rest inside Hank Aaron's locker.

Day Three

On Day Three we explored Pittsburgh during the day and went to another Cardinals game at night. We started off by walking across the bridge and into the downtown area. Here is a picture of the stadium from across the bridge.

A picture of us on the bridge.

There were Three bridges just like this. Aren't they fantastic?

At the ball game.

There was a wonderful fireworks show after the game. These pictures don't do it justice, but it was great.

So long PNC Park!

Day Two

On our way to Pittsburgh Friday morning we passed by this HUGE cross. Just as a reference, those are full grown trees underneath it and a billboard to the side.

A picture of Wes at the field before the game. He's great at saying "cheese" now he just needs to work on actually looking at me while he does.

Pujols

The view of the city from our seats. Isn't it Beautiful!

They gave out free pirate beanies to everyone that came to the game and Wes thought they were great. In fact, he likes it so much he wears it around at our house still and even outside when he goes to play with the neighbor kids after school. Like it? I have two more I'd love to give away!
