This past week was Fair Week out here. They have different sections in the fair building where you can enter things that you have made to be on display during the fair and rodeo.
This is what
Kyler and
Corden entered:
Kyler- Robot picture, blue shelf, painted clay bowl on right
Corden- Alien picture and painted clay bowl on left
This is what I entered:
pictures, scrapbook pages, crayon and twistable rolls, bib, chick notebook, recipe binder, no sew tu-tu, car seat blanket cover
This is the recipe book that I entered. We made these for an activity for Young Women's.
Inside the little binder are different sections. Each of the young women and leaders brought 3 recipes each and everyone got copies of them to put into their binders.
This is the "no sew
tu-
tu" that I entered. So easy and so cute. It's going to be a birthday present for my friend Annette's little girl
MacKelle! (So don't let her see this Annette!) :o)
This is the
carseat blanket cover that I entered. I was so excited when I saw that I got the reserve champion ribbon! How exciting!
I saw someone in town one day with one of these and just had to make one! So when Jefferey and Victoria had Jack I made one for them with their left over material from Jacks nursery bedding set. (It turned out really cute. Wish I had taken a picture. I'll have to see if they have one.)
I got this bee material with plans to make this for our next family reunion auction.
The ribbons tie to the handle leaving room for you to pick up your
carseat without a bulky blanket in between your hand and the handle. This also makes it so that the blanket is held up and off of your baby's face.
Then when you want to see your cute baby's face, you just fold the blanket cover under. How fun is that! Thanks McKenna for letting me use your carseat for these photos!
I love fair and rodeo week. On Thursday we had our parade and our junior rodeo. My mom, Grandma O., Judy, and John all came out for the craziness! Thanks for coming, it was great to hang out with all of you! Our wrecker float won the commercial grand champion ribbon. The boys rode sheep after the parade in the junior rodeo.
Kyler fell off after a couple seconds, after hitting his leg on the chute on the way out!
Corden rode it out underneath his sheep and got kicked under the chin when he finally let go! He has a nice bruise and lump to show for it! My mom has all of these pics on her camera so when I get copies, I will post them.
This kid cracks me up! He loves Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! If it was up to him, he would watch Ninja Turtle movies all day long! He always seems to have a sword or two with him, (notice the popsicle stick in his toes, yeah, that's a sword!) I recorded him singing along to the song on one of his videos. So funny, watch the use of his popsicle stick swords, he's mimicking what the Turtles are doing with their swords. Gotta love those Turtles!
Made this for my friend Tiffany's new baby girl, Avery. Congratulations Tiff and Vince! 
Today my ward R.S. had a watch making party. You pick out a watch face and then you pick out whatever beads that you want to use and put together your watch bands.
These are the watch bands that I made.
I thought I needed one that was somewhat neutral colors so this is what I came up with.
This is my green and zebra stipes. I thought zebra stripes would be fun and green is my fave color.
Now you all know that I love FUN and FUNKY! I really enjoyed picking out the beads to put this one together! Everyone said it was " So Bobi!"
All you need is ribbon, cut long enough to fit around the waist and tie in a bow, and tulle cut in strips that are 3 or 4 inches wide. (You can find very inexpensive tulle at Wally's.) The length will depend on the size of child (or adult) you are making it for. I cut my strips 3" wide.
Fold your tulle in half so that it makes a loop at the top. Stick it under the ribbon.
Take the loose ends of tulle
and put them through the loop.
Pull through...
and down.
Repeat until your tu-tu is the desired fullness that you want.
And there you have it. So Easy, right!!!!
Here's what the front looks like.
And here's the back. 
I love free groceries! I especially love it when I make money grocery shopping!
Kyler got a new camera for his 8th birthday and has been taking some really good pictures. He took these pictures on our trip to Yellowstone park with Grandpa and Grandma H.
This picture and the one before it are of Old Faithful Geyser.
These pictures are of the ants at the picnic area where we stopped to eat lunch.
Kyler and Corden were standing there looking at the ants when all of a sudden Corden starts screaming. Yep, the ants were climbing up his legs! They were pretty big ants and I probably would have screamed too!
More of the big ants! He's really a pretty good little photographer!
