SUMMER and SUNCREEN TIME!!!

It was hot on monday and our sweet neighbor got her pool out and we all came running with our suits, towel and sunscreen. 

It was a blast and Maddison was the sunscreen woman she was making sure everyone had enough on!!

This is the swimming crew!

Splish splashing by the pool and enjoying a nice cold drink!

Safety First

We are big about safety glasses around our house. We wear them when we do yard work, crafts, when taking a bath you name it we wear them!! "Safety First"!! Maddison got a hold of some and just wanted to model them for you!!

Walking

Jax is off and running!  He is crusing all over the place.  He pulls himself up and then takes off!  It is so fun to see his face when he is walking. He is such a stud muffin!!

craft it forward!!

Craft it forward 2009

I have fun friends, who also have fun friends. When I saw this post on Heidi's blog- I thought it would be fun to do! Now... just know that if you are the lucky recipient of what I will "craft" for you, it may not be anything spectacular. I am really not a crafter, despite my best efforts.

Here's how it works.

The first three people to type "Chantell is trying to be crafty!" in the comments on this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you.

The catch is that you must re-post this on your blog and give the same offer to the first three commenter's who will also craft it forward.

Here are my contingencies: 
1. I make no guarantee that you will like what I make!
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It will be done this year.
4. You have no clue what it's going to be.
5. I reserve the right to make something extremely strange.
6. You must post a picture of what you win when you get it.

WHO'S IN?!?

5K and a lot of snow

Today I ran my first 5k for child abuse and boy was it an adventure!! As you can see from the pictures the weather did not cooperate. I was hoping all the way to Wellsville that they would cancel but as we arrived of course they did not. It was a little chilly starting out but as I got going it was not so bad. It was a great run and thanks to the lady in the red she was my running buddy and did not even know it. I thought to myself if I can just keep up with that lady I will do great. I reached the last mile and was drenched and everything got really heavy so it slowed me down a bit but I reached the finish line in 39 min and 20 seconds!! WAHOOOO it was so much fun!!

flip flop fun

I am teaching the YW to make these flip flops next week and I wanted to try them out to see if they would be cute or not and they turned out great!! It is so easy and fun you just get water balloons and tie them in a knot all around the flop and wala fun and festive. I hope the YW girls like them. I know Maddison loves them and never takes them off!! Also she is finally getting some hair so we did a fun do today!!

Scooter Rides

We have coaster cars at our house but Maddison calls them scooter cars. They are so much fun. This April conference we were blessed to have all of our family over and while the men were at the Priesthood session the girls let thier hair down and went wild and crazy having scooter races down in the basement!! It was a blast thanks every one for being good sports!!
