London's new skirt

Here is London's "woah-that's-a-bright-flash" face

She is so long and skinny that it's a little tough for clothes to actually fit her right. Onesies that fit her around the waist are too short, and ones that are long enough are ginormous around her torso. SO, I decided to make her a cute little skirt. I have never seen a newborn/tiny sized skirt for sale anywhere. Only dresses... not sure why because they are adorable! So I had this fabric laying around from an old project that I never did and decided to put it to use. An hour later, ta-da! Cute skirt :)
I wish I had the time, energy, and more talent to create a whole line of baby clothes. I'm definitely going to be making more clothes for London though, at least while she's small and it's easy :)
p.s. mom - no, this skirt was not made from a pattern, and no, I still don't know how to read patterns. hahaha

fun with justyce&braxton

Holly came over for dinner and to hang out with me last night and brought Justyce & Braxton with. It was a fun night, Lincoln was in heaven having other kids to play with.

Finally!

I've always seen pictures of kids falling asleep in weird places and have wanted Lincoln to do it too. I know, I'm strange. Well, today was the day! We were eating lunch and me and Nathan were playing monopoly and we looked over and he was doing the hovering in a circle with his head, nodding down and jerking back up thing. It was so hilarious we were trying not to laugh while Nathan got a video. I'll have to post that soon. Anyways, here he is- fast asleep sitting up!

Ice Skating - New Years

Since Amy & Kevin are being lame and moving to Washington in a couple days, this was our last hurrah with them. We actually managed to get the group together to hang out with no kids too! That has never happened before. lol
We drug the boys downtown to go ice skating at the outdoor gallivan center, then hurried back to mike&julies house for midnight. It was a great night!
We're going to miss you guys, amy&kev.


the girls! i hate when i'm the only one not looking. haha










Here's the speedo guy at the marriott over looking the rink. He thought he couldn't be seen...



Kevins sweet moves

the boys





my new years babes

Our first new years activity of the night was to go to the church with some friends from the ward to play dodgeball and eat delicious chili. It was fun! I hadn't played dodgeball since the tournament I did years and years ago with Randy Mangum and his friends. Here are just a couple pics of the kids before we left. Adorable if I do say so myself!



He found his pockets so now he loves walking around with his hands in there.
