There is Sunshine

Well, my wonderful husband started his new job today! He accepted the R & D chemist (Research and Development chemist) position at Nature's Sunshine here in Spanish Fork. I'm so excited! He is literally working 5 minutes away from home! I'm so thrilled to have him close instead of having to drive to Sandy every day. Our family has been so blessed. I'm so grateful to have such a hard-working husband who is willing to go to work every day so that I can stay home with Andrielle. I'm the luckiest. I love you, Gav!

Baby Clippies

I've found another project....hair clips! I got the idea from a fun website and a friend in the ward. I bought alligator clips and no-slip grips (they're so cool-they're for girls with fine hair so their bows don't slip!) on eBay and then got ribbons, flowers, and brads at walmart and a scrapbook store in Sandy.


Here are the cork screw bows.... They're the most time-consuming because I have to make the cork-screw ribbon myself. I think they turned out pretty cute. If you want to know how to make your own, leave a message!


Here are the flower clips. I bought artificial flowers and just cut off the flower part from the stem and glued it on the clip.


These ones are my least favorite. They're just ribbon shaped into bows and then there are also two examples of the alligator clips covered with ribbon before having a flower glued on.

These ones are actually scrapbooking embellishments. They're little flowers connected with brads and then hot-glued to the ribbon-covered clips.

3 Months Old

[L: Yesterday-Feb. 24 R: Day after Andrielle was born-Nov. 26}
Andrielle is now 3 months old - but as you can see from these two pictures ^, she's still pretty small. She is still wearing the clothes we brought her home from the hospital in. I'm getting excited to see her in some new clothes - but at least we get a lot of use out of them!

Just more pictures....

Andrielle's latest accomplishment

Andrielle has really started flipping over. It's been so fun! I didn't think to bring out the camera til we had been 'practicing' for a few minutes, so she was getting tired by the time we actually taped it (I think that's why she started crying - because she was happy again as soon as she made it to her back.) She can go from her tummy to her back but has only gone from her back to her side, so we still need to work on flipping from the back to the the tummy but from what I hear, that takes a little longer. Check it out!

Latest Project

I made Andrielle this to clip her bows on to so I don't lose them. I painted the letter 'A' baby pink (you can't tell it's pink because of the lighting, but it really is pink) and then hot glued the little flowers and ribbons on.

Baby Bracelets

I found my beading stuff that I used to do in high school and made a few baby bracelets... I think they turned out pretty well :)
