Swimmin'

For my sister-in-laws birthday on Saturday, we had a fun-filled day in Billings! The girls left early and did a little shopping, then we met the guys at Red Robin for lunch. After lunch we headed to The Reef, an indoor water park. Whitney had been so excited about going swimmin' all week, but unfortunately she started to get sick on Friday night. She skipped out on the shopping and came up later with Mike so that she would be rested. She looks a little under the weather, but she still had fun swimming. Both kids slept all the way home. Whitney is still running a fever and her voice is pretty hoarse. Wilson has been fussy, so I think he's a touch sick too. Hopefully, they will get healthy quick!

Potty Training

We've really been working on potty training for a few weeks now. My mom got her started when she was here at the end of March. She's doing pretty well and I'm so grateful not to be changing diapers for 2! She usually sits like this when she's on the potty, then her face lights up when she goes--it's so cute!

Smiley

Wilson has turned into a sweet, smiley little boy. In a matter of about two weeks, his colic went away! He is so goodnatured and, he will smile just for saying hello. He is trying really hard to sit up. He's also trying to roll over a little. He sticks his legs up in the air and falls to his side. Yesterday at church, my friend April was holding him during Sunday school and I was sitting on one side of her and another girl named Valerie was sitting on her other side. He would look over at me and start wimpering, then he'd turn and look at Valerie and totally turn on the smiles and charm. What a flirt! I guess we've got a ladies man on our hands! We are having so much fun with him!

Easter Dress

We couldn't find a cute Easter dress in the stores this year, so my mom made Whitney an adorable Easter dress. Wilson wore his adorable sweater vest outfit that I absolutely adore. My mom made him an outfit too, but it was too big. The weather was beautiful! We had stake conference, so everyone in the family had church at the same time which was nice. After stake conference, we went to Mike's mom's house for lunch. She made ham and rolls and I made mashed potatoes and crock pot creamed corn. I ordered a cheesecake from one of my young women's fundraisers so we had that and Mike's mom made some jello pudding pies. The girls had a great time playing in Grandma's garden with their new buckets. We sat outside for quite a while enjoying the sunshine. It was a great day!

Crafting!

My list of things to craft is getting really long, so I got a few projects done this weekend!

An apron for Whitney (this will be in her Easter basket!)

Adorable cloth baby shoes. Here's the pattern:

I made these little girl ones with fabric I already had just to try out the pattern, then I had fun!

A reversible hat for Wilson--this pattern needs some help--it was a little difficult, plus the bill of the hat is way too big!

And shoes to match!


I still have lots of things to make--I love getting ideas from blogs!
