Baby Girl Quilt

 One of my best friends, Bethany, (who also teaches Math with me at OJHS) is going to have a baby girl at the end of June. I made her a "rag quilt" for her baby girl. Here are the pictures:

This is just a cute picture of me and my niece Payton... isn't she cute?

St. George and Zions National Park

Last week was my spring break and I really wanted to do something that got me out of Orem. We found a cheap hotel on PriceLine and went down to St. George Saturday morning till Sunday night. I wish we could have gone for longer but it is towards the end of Felipe's semester so he had homework and couldn't miss class.

 I love making Felipe pose in strange places.

Felipe's hand compared to a T-Rex dinosaur footprint.

The super pretty and very white St. George Temple.

A cool picture Felipe took during our hike.

Another goal achieved. Stand between a cliff and a waterfall. It was amazing.... and wet.

See the two little waterfalls in the middle of the picture? Those were the waterfalls from the last picture. If you look above those two you can see a little one above it. We went on a crazy long hike (climbing over huge rocks the entire time) to get there. We probably hiked 4+ miles.

Felipe and I towards the end of the day.  Eventually I want to be able to bike all over the park and spend a week down there just exploring!

Baby shoes

Here is a picture of the cute baby shoes I helped my friend make this week:

Spring Break

This week is our Spring Break. My goal is to get a whole lot done while Fil is in classes, then hang out with him before he goes to Ohio for his Summer Internship. So far here is what I got done:

-Saw Hunger Games (amazing!)
-Organized the shed
-Cleaned laundry room
-Did all laundry including folding AND putting away
-Sewed a whole bunch of my quilt
-Cleaned my bedroom
-Put on new duvet cover
-Rolled coins to take to the bank
-Ate veggies for lunch :)
-Bought new windshield wipers and put them on my car
-Tried to clean my headlights - they are still foggy after using the anti-foggy headlight cleaning kit

and its only Monday!!!

there is more to come... stayed tuned for pictures of my clean house!

Christmas 2011

We went to my parents in Maineville Ohio for Christmas 2011. They moved into the house on Thursday, everyone got there on Saturday or Sunday, so there was a lot of boxes and settling in to do. Here are about a billion pictures:

Felipe and my brother-in-law Brice putting lights on the HUGE tree we got.

My super cute nephew Carter showing off his top teeth.

Payton super excited to find all my parents old VHS movies.

Sitting down for Christmas dinner. My mom got a china hutch and we put her China in it. My HomeGoods skills were put to good use!

The stocking were hung by the chimney with care. Although they were too heavy so we had to get extra hooks to hold them all up.

All the siblings with our paint cans full of Christmas Eve PJ's. 

Us with our new jammy jams on.

Felipe and Nick waiting to go down the stairs to see what Santa brought!

Felipe and I after church on Christmas day.

 Trisha and her husband Brice. We went out to this amazing restaurant. They had great ribs, chicken and onion straws. YUMMY!

 

Nick, Felipe and Brice at Montgomery Inn Boathouse.

All in all it was a great Christmas!

Hope everyone is having a great New Year (and month of February as well).

Love you all!

Krystin and Felipe

Payton Stole my Camera

 One Sunday night, not so long ago, Payton stole my camera and took the following pictures (along with about 100 more). I am dedicating this post to her, in her own language.

She was not a happy camper after I took the camera away!

Conference Weekend

A few weeks ago Sally, Grant and kids came up for the weekend. It was fun to see them and very entertaining.

Since Sally hates uploading pictures I will put some cute ones of her kids!

Violet ate the inside of her cinnamon roll like a lollipop! 

 

Eliseo in awe of violets cinnamon roll.

  Alma and his plate...

Yummy cinnamon rolls that were *almost* all eaten.

It was a great weekend. We love having visitors and can't wait to see Sally and Family again soon!
