What we've been up to

So this is just a little update :)

John Birthday fell on Father's Day this year...DOUBLE WHAMMY! And we spoke in church that Sunday! {It was the last Sunday in our Ward, boo...we have LoVED this Ward so much!}

John was spoiled with some tools, some treats, and for his birthday I gave him a certificate for us to run a race together {he's always talking about how he wants us to do a sport or active activity together, not my idea of fun per-se but it means a lot to him, so we're going to run a 10K together! FUN...or something :) I also made him a picture book for Fathers Day *from Everett* of photos of them together this past year, and telling about why he's the best dad, it's tender...

He got an air compressor, and Everett was so funny looking at it just like John, I guess that's what boys do...too cute... click on the pic to make it bigger :)
We had a Weenie-Roast at Willow Park campground the day after his b-day with the whole lance gang, we roasted hot dogs, marshmallows, and I introduced the Lance's to roasted Star-Bursts...yummmm

We finished it off with Chocolate Cake!

We played Frisbee and talked around the campfire, it was beautiful!
Okay, so Seth and Jacob gave John this Nerf Sword for his birhtday {whenever he see's those boys they play Ninja's and John is the Ninja master and the boys are Ninja apprentices...so he naturally needed a sword.} well Everett got really attatched to it, and screamed if we tried to take it away, and so that night it went to bed with him...this photo wasn't taken that night though, this was taken like a week later, he still loves that sword! Such a boy! He's snuglling it like a lovey or something, it's SO funny! John got this picture during one of his naps this past week...LOL!!! Funny kid...
Cute Everett smashing his nose against the window...silly...and SO cute

Nap time, precious. I love this...
Okay, I made this bow belt! I'll post more photo's and explain how I did it on my crafty blog soon, I was so tickled with how it turned out, I did make some mistakes though, live and learn, I made a mustard yellow one tonight, and i'll take some pics and post them too...
Do you love it as much as I do?! {I wanted it to be more scrunchy, more gathered, the Yellow one I made is better, but its still super cute right???
So that's a little update :) Our summer is crazy busy!

I'm still sewing away getting ready for the jackson show, and trying to keep up with house work, tutoring, and a one year old! We're also trying to enjoy the summer as much as possible, we've been swimming at the Lehi Pool, and plan to go camping at the end of the month! YAY!!!

What are you up to?
