Here's some pictures from my very first craft fair/boutique Saturday (June 27th).


Getting all the items to the craft fair.


There I am! I look so tiredly nervous!


A cute picture of Riley and Gracie at my booth.

It was a pretty slow day.. but a great experience for a first time craft fair.
I'm really glad Jessica (from vinylvinyleverywhere.com) invited me, thanks Jessica!
I was able to meet some really fun people and see what they enjoy creating in their free time.. look out Farmers Market and wholesale adventure, here I come!

Here's a post about Father's day... about a week late, but here it is!
I went to Cedar to hang out with my dad and brother the Saturday before Father's Day but forgot to take some pictures... Here's a pic me and dad like two years ago.



On Sunday, Riley and I went to Pine Valley to spend time with his family.. we had some really great food and great times like always.. here's some pics:


This is what happens when the beagles go for rides.
They take over. Jack lies on the middle console and Scout lies on Jack.


Everyone after dinner, lounging around.


Alec, Jordan, Riley and Kaitlin playing some weird game that I still don't understand.


Emi, Riley's nice, being super cute.


Yay! I am so excited to be attending this craft fair, and I wanted to post it so any one who wants to attend can. Please pass the word along, and if you are a crafty person yourself, let me know if you have items you want to display... I'll get you to the right person!

SO...
Someone needs to teach me how to SEW!! I keep coming up with wonderful ideas in my head, and attempt to create them.. and I get SO frustrated because I can't SEW.




This is how far I've gotten.
I can pick out fabric, cut out shapes, and iron the shapes on but that's as far as I can get..
I've already destroyed a few little shirts and onesies trying to practice.
All I'm trying to do is sew some type of attractive stitch around my birdies so they'll stay on!
Anyone have suggestions?

Anyways.. enough boring sewing ranting.

I made a display for my earrings that I've made lately.
I was invited to a little craft fair/boutique at the end of this month.. so I've been busy trying to figure out what people usually do to set up their tables.

Here's one of my earring displays:





It's pretty simple, but it gets the job done.

There's not much else going on. Both Riley and I have just been working, lots.
He works in the home theater department now, and I've been bumped up a position to the operations senior.

He's been thinking of starting a graphic design/tshirt company.. I think that would be really exciting!!

I finally got to meet my Big Brother, Big Sister little sister.
Her name is Anahe (Anna). I'll get a picture posted of me and her as soon as I have one.
She's a really sweet 7 year old who loves macaroni and cheese and the color pink!
I've agreed to meet with her once a week for at least a year..
I think the program is amazing, and hopefully I'm able to be someone she can turn to if she needs some body.

That's all for now, I haven't posted anything for a while, so I figured I'd better.

Approx. 2 hours before our walk outside...


Right after our walk outside...

Honey(s) we're home!!!






-P.s. I borrowed these first 3 photos from online, just so you can have a visual description of our vacation.-

We decided to come back one day early so we have some time to just hang out and relax, but we had a really fun trip minus all the driving in the car (about 22 hours!).

We didn't take very many pictures, but here's some of the good ones...

Sat. May 23
Sasquatch Festival







Mon. May 25
Twin Falls, Idaho




We were able to see lots and lots of random crops and cows.
We also stayed in some pretty interesting places, which included sleeping in our car one night.. we were so tired!
We also found some really yummy resturants, a Idaho-ian Cafe Rio and my favorite new bagel place.. Molly's.

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend!
