Patina Market

So I was contacted by the owner of this new, cute boutique in Pleasant Grove, called Patina Market, who wanted me to sell some of my Etsy items for a two week showing! It is a very cute place, they have a few vendors who show for a two week period from Wednesday-Saturdays. Check it out if you have time, I'm sure there will be some very cute things for sale there and they are all handmade items! I will be selling this week and next, Wed-Sat. Check out their website for hours and their address.

Here is the link:

Our cute, busy girl!

My Mom

I'm a few weeks delayed in posting this, sorry :) But my Mom had her birthday on Jan. 10 and we all got together at their house to celebrate. I just want to mention what a wonderful Mother I have. She is so caring and thoughtful to each of us. We are so busy with our own families now, but she always makes an effort to support our children and encourages us on. She has such a strong testimony of the gospel and has always shown that to each of us through everything she does, how she speaks, dresses, and acts towards everyone. Not to mention she is so talented in many ways, I grew up watching her sew, paint, decorate, and cook some amazing meals! We used to call her Martha Stewart. I remember thinking, how does she know how to do EVERYTHING, she is so well rounded and talented! A lot to live up to :) I am so thankful to have her as my mother, I don't think I could have asked for a better one! Love you Mom!
Chris, me, Mom, John, and Dadio!

Abby

Okay, look at this picture of baby Abby, this was almost 3 years ago now! Look at her little face in that picture, she was totally smiling! She was a happy little thing from day one, she didn't hardly cry at all at the hospital the day she was born. I just came across this picture today and it made me laugh, she has always been so full of it!

She will be turning 3 in a month and a half and we cannot believe it! She is definately acting her age lately and is starting to talk a lot and give us some attitude, AKA "abbytude". Her latest thing is to watch EVERYTHING mommy does and try to repeat it. For an example, I went into get the girls yesterday and Abby had taken out the mattress from Bailey's crib, while Bailey was still trying to sleep, and put it on the floor and took off the sheet. Hmmmmm, all we can say is WOW, we have no idea why she does these things, it is our latest challenge with her, lol. Our idea is that she is just trying to do mommy things, but gosh! Sometimes it is just dangerous! Poor Bailey was asleep on the hard metal springs on the crib, she totally puts up with Abby's adventures!

But Abby is really a sweet older sister and gives Bailey kisses and makes her laugh all day long. We love her!

Our Little Wild Things

abby and bailey are busy busy busy lately! They LOVE their slide from IKEA and are really having fun playing together now that Bailey is on the move! She is walking around really well now and is into everything!
here we have bailey sticking cheese on the cupboard, isn't that nice?
and then here she is folding her arms for the prayer! We are so excited because we didn't tell her to do this, but she is watching us I guess :) She is starting to catch onto things now, it is fun.
look at that extension, we might have a gymnast in the making! Also, can I just say bailey is a little dare devil and likes to climb and do everything, kind of like her older sister!
here is our pretty abby brushing her hair, and she told me to take a picture of her in the act, I guess she was proud! She is wanting to do everything mommy does these days, including cooking, cleaning, hair, makeup, dishes, etc. Little mommy in the making :)

I honestly have been so blessed lately to have quite a few sales in my shop as we really needed the extra income. It is a fun little business!
