St. Patty's Day Party

We had a good time at our house a couple of Saturday's ago. Everyone brought yummy food and had a lot of fun. We did a quiz that Jami made up about St. Patrick. Later, the kids did a scavenger hunt that I printed from Pinterest. 

Sucked into March Madness:)

Trying to decipher Jami's St. Patty Day's quiz.

The spread. I'm going to have to say that the Key Lime Cheesecake Bars were a hit. I couldn't stop eating them anyway. 

Pant less Kelsie. Potty training.

Angry Bird addicts!

5 Pounds and 5 Inches

Most people would post this and say they lost 5lbs and 5 inches in a month but that doesn't happen when your pregnant! This is me at 26 weeks. My new midwife has been cracking the whip to make sure this pregnancy goes a little differently then the last. She's told me to work out at least 4 times a week and wanted me to only gain 4lbs last month. So I think I did pretty good with 5! She also measured my belly as having grown 5 inches. I'm starting to feel much larger.

I'm now at 28 weeks and this baby is such a kicker. I only remember Kelsie stretching a lot. Ahh pregnancy. Not my favorite time of life.

Sledding

We took Kelsie sledding the other day to a hill in Bountiful. Last Winter, she cried the whole time. The first time down she cried and cried and cried.  She didn't want to go down again but I told her that Dad would protect her and that we could tell Grandma all about it. She finally agreed to go again and of course loved it.

Would she go down with Mom? Nope. But every time I put her on Chad's lap she would say "Dad will protect me!" Yes he will. 

Crafts

I made this crayon and coloring book tote for Kelsie. She takes it to church and calls it her purse. It was actually a really easy tutorial. I haven't done any sewing for a while so it was fun to do a project. Next time I will make the crayon pockets just a little bit large. For these crayons, they were just barely too tight. When they were all in they tugged that side of the tote in.

You can see the tugging in this photo. It sort of bends toward the middle.

I just got called to Beehive Advisor in my ward so I made these rick rack rosette rings and chocolate strawberries for my beehives. It was their Valentine's Day present. I hand sewed instead of hot gluing because I thought they would hold up better.
