About Me

My photo
Mike and I got married on January 3, 2008 in the Salt Lake City Temple. We met December 31, 2003 on New Years Eve, after his best friend invited him to a party. It was nearing midnight, and I had never kissed someone before on New Years Eve. He was sitting there all alone, in his University of Utah sweatshirt, and his Grizzlies backwards baseball cap, and he looked pretty cute. I asked him, "Hey, would you like to kiss at midnight?" He looked confused... Then he finally said, "Sure." I went over to him, and gave him a little peck (which apparently did not reach his lips, more like his chin...) and that was the start of it! We have a beautiful boy, Aiden, who will be two years old in June, and he is the joy of both our lives! We are both working, and we are currently living in Lehi, UT.We are a happy family and love doing things together.

Sewing MACHINE! And other fun things.

Awhile back, Mike and I decided to get a sewing machine.  We wanted to be able to do projects and just have fun learning.  Mike's objective was to sew his own hunting masks that he could also sell online. We bought fabric online and then went to work!

Mike still needs to work on his sewing skills, but it was nice to see him using a sewing machine! Although, he actually knows how to knit, and does a pretty good job at it!

My main objective is to make blankets, fix rips or tears, and one day make quilts! I have a lot of learning to do, and will eventually take a class or learn from my mom, but for right now, sewing in a square will be just fine.  The first blanket I made on the sewing machine is pictured below. What you don't see, are the mistakes...which there are a lot of, but thankfully a two year old doesn't care if things are even or if there are gathers, etc. I was pretty proud of myself!

The finished product
Another fun thing I did with Aiden was go to "Get Air" in Salt Lake.  Basically an indoor trampoline playground! He had so much fun, and actually, so did I! I felt like a kid again! It also doubled as a pretty good workout. I was running around, jumping, and making sure my kiddo was safe. There was also a big foam pit that he loved to get stuck in and was just laughing and laughing.  I jumped in there too, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get out!!

Crazy trampoline hair!



Another thing that we did was go to the library for story time.  Aiden was the only one who didn't stay by his mama, and wanted to be in front of the crowd! I love his confidence, and his rhythm.  He is quite the explorer. He wanted to go look at all the books and just take in everything around him. I'm hoping that this is something we can do on Tuesday mornings before I drop him off at daycare. As you can see from the video below, he was pretty happy to be dancing along to one of the songs from "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse".
