Week Before Last










Well, here are some pictures that illustrates a few things from the week before last. The first is a picture of the hairstyle that Lana specifically requested. She wanted all those accessories in all those exact places. With two braids connected. She has a few different inspirations but regularly requests to make her hair like "Shana" (her cute friend from school).


We've had ottoman hanging around our house for the longest time that I've been meaning to toss. It comes in handy for things like jumping off of it to reach unimaginable heights, making tents on rainy days, playing board games while sitting on the floor, etc. So, for all those important reasons, I thought it would be a good idea to just cover it. My friend (insert shout out to Jackie here) suggested I just use a staple gun instead of sewing a cover. That made my life so much easier. So: thanks to Nala for helping me figure out how I'd cover it and Kristine for lending me her staple gun (with bullets!!! haha) Anyway, I don't think the cover will last too long, but it's much nicer to look at for the time being.

Those tights Lana's wearing are an ESSENTIAL part of her wardrobe. She wears them with LOTS of outfits. That explains why there are huge holes in them and it also explains why I made an attempt to patch them. Yes I did. The patch lasted the whole day. The pants are now in the trash.

And here's a picture of Lana kissing Jared. We just love that little guy. Can't help it.

Random



Here are some random pictures from this past week. Lana and I are attempting to make an "ABC" book and spell out the letters with her body (she may need an assistant for certain letters like..."Q" I would imagine). She did pretty good for the first three letters though, huh? The letters "B" and "C" got cut off in the collage. Sorry.

And we went to an FHE at our friends the other day and finally got a picture of "the girls." What great women and good friends!

Jared loves to check himself out in the mirror. I can't blame him...he's a cutie!

We made Valentines cupcakes today and they were yummy. Lana got really into it probably because it had to do with helping me cook, it was pink sprinkles and she got to decorate it and EAT IT TOO! Red Velvet...I always think of the armadillo cake from Steel Magnolias. ha!

Mat didn't make much of an appearance in these pictures but he was busy behind the camera this time. Thanks, Mat! His birthday is this Friday and I'm open to any good birthday ideas you might want to suggest. Have a great week!
