May Pin Project!

I watch a little girl in our ward sometimes, her name is Victoria and she is a doll! Just this last time she and Jeter would play together and she has started following him around wherever he goes. When he wakes up from his naps and sees her he goes over and stands in front of her and she gets all excited, I even saw Jeter giving her a hug! Precious!



 Jeter loves going for walks so we just Had to squeeze into the stroller one day....They lasted longer then I thought, it was so cute!
So for my May DIY Pin Project I decided to take a break from recipes and try something crafty. I've been wanting to try my hand at wreath making for a while and had all the material at hand so this was a $0 project and it turned out soooo cute! You use coffee filters and dye them with whatever color you want. http://lovelycraftyhome.com/2012/01/30/the-coffee-filter-wreath/  this is the link to the tutorial. It really wasnt that hard just a little time consuming. Love it!
Just thought I would throw in this picture of Jeter sleeping on the couch...well half way sleeping on the couch. It's getting hotter and the poor little guy just couldn't fall asleep in his crib (even with fans) maybe he's just being picky...but I let him sleep on the couch and have two fans on him.
Yay for naps!

Tremily

Emily and Trent got married Friday, May 12, 2012! They got married in the Gila Valley Temple.
But first we had to do a bridal shower!


 Those Lemon Cupcakes made by Janel were so good I can't even say how many I ate!

 They had these adorable M&Ms with their pictures, names and "Tremily" nickname, so cute!!!

 Friends, Abby and Tara.
 Future mother in law Brenda
Someone gave Emily a gag gift of all these funny things and this gigantic pink panties were one of them. Too funny!!!

The next weekend was the weekend we've all been waiting for! It started out with a BBQ in my parents back yard with the immediate family. My dad made pit bbq ribs. They were so good it was amazing!! All of the food was so good and we had so much fun spending time with the Christensen family!



 Trent's sisters. Camille, Callie, and Lilly


 Max!

The next morning the Christensen's put on a breakfast for all the families. Once again the food was amazing! The homemade syrup was to die for!!

 The serving line. Their family is so large they are well supplied in helpers.


That afternoon the makeup and curling irons started flying! Hannah did Emily's hair and we all had so much fun getting ready. The men were like "why are you guys getting ready so early" and sure enough those last minutes before we left for the temple were close to chaos trying to get all the little boys dressed and everyone ready!

 The ceremony was wonderful of course! I was crying in the waiting room! Sheesh! But these two lovebirds were so happy it was so fun to see and they both clean up pretty darn well!





 Killian blowing bubbles!
 Adorable Paige! And the little boys looks sooo cute in their little ties!
 After the pictures at the temple we all came home and the happily married couple set off for Tucson. They are having a reception in June. Here I am video taping the farewell.

We love you Emily and Trent! We wish you all the happiness in the world!

DIY Pin Project April

Jeter and I get bored easily staying home all day. And now that it is getting hotter we stay inside more. I've decided northerners have cabin fever in the winter, and we Arizonians can get cabin fever in the winter and summer! Oh well it gives us funny pictures to look at!

Here is Jeter finishing off his Easter candy, too bad this one had to be supervised. And I'm glad he wasn't a huge fan of it cause it kind of turned his mouth green...

These picture are from a month ago or so but I had to share them. Jeter was taking his playful self outside one day and tripped and hit his head right on the corner of the door, The cut wasn't too bad but the goose egg was. It's healed now and kid of left a mark hopefully time will heal it completely.

And you can't live in Globe unless the the creepy crawly come to visit you!!!
 Ok now for my Pins. I would have to say this month was a failure! These are sweet potato chips. They tasted okay, kind of soft, and I burnt the first batch. And cutting them was really hard. Sweet potatoes are much harder then regular potatoes I found out.
 Next I decided to make some sugar cookies with a pin recipe and do the fun colorful pinwheel pin. The recipe was awful. It was titled "Meltaway sugar cookies" with simple ingredients. Well I would probably rename them "Throwaway sugar cookies" because that's exactly what I did.
 And to top it off they look like a cow ate skittles and they turned it's poop shades of the rainbow. So I was left with yucky tasting colorful cow pies. Sigh.

One last photo (getting pictures onto blogger has been real challenge lately, and moving this picture up with the others is just too much work) We were on our way home from a Saturday lake trip and Kameron gave jeter a gummy worm, well the little guy fell asleep and this worm somehow made its way in between Jeter's chin and chest and when he woke up they were stuck together! It. Was. Hilarious! He was half asleep and trying to lift his head but it was stuck to his shirt, so Funny!!
