July 2008

So I was perusing digishoptalk today and someone posted a link I have been looking for! It’s a company that changes your blog into a book. The thing that I love the most about it, is that this sort of takes care of two birds with one stone. I can blog/journal…well, at least the highlights, and then get it into a family book! It makes me so happy! I like digi scrapping because I think it really captures the moments in our lives that are interesting and beautiful, but I tend to put a lot of “other” stuff on my blog…things I’m into, funny antidotes about the kids, etc.

So tired of me rambling about it, and just want the link….lol. Here is it http://www.blurb.com/create/book/blogbook . Check it out and tell me what you think!

In Utah, we have a Pioneer Day celebration on the 24th of July. I’ve never really celebrated it before (mostly because I only lived in Utah as an undergrad), but we had a great time going to the parade and having a bbq with friends and family. Here are some of the highlights:

water balloon toss with Liz and Caroline (me and Siri).

Felicity doing a lot of wandering around (and generally having a great time) at the bbq

My two angels! (Flissa has her bottle because she was almost ready for bed)

Siri’s obsession with Bob and Judy’s Sugar Plum Princess and fairy dolls (yes, she took these pictures)

Watching the fireworks

Making “snakes” (Siri’s favorite part!)

And because I have been a slacker (and didn’t post these ON Pioneer Day), I also have photos of Lola’s Birthday Party from last night. It was at Nate and Michelle’s house and was SO fun! The first part was outside…there was a huge wind storm that can in and blew away napkins, plates, chips…I even chased after a sack and got made fun of (I couldn’t really tell if I was going to really get it or not, so I kept stopping then chasing…you can imagine how ridiculous I looked).

I can’t believe Lola is 2! Happy Birthday Lola!

The birthday girl!

I feel like this is the face I got from her every time I snapped a picture!

Baily and Lola

Here’s a sneak peak of things to come! The Lazy Days collection will be out in a couple of weeks. Be sure to keep an eye out for this vintage line! It’s going to be beautiful!
