Happy 4th Anniversary! (late)

With the giveaway I did and everything, I was not able to post anything about our anniversary on June 28. We really did not do anything special. We are kind of simple/boring when it come to celebrating, but need to change that. Anyways, we ordered take out from El Sol, the Saturday before our Anniversary, came home and ate it. I wanted to drive down to The Old Spaghetti Factory and have dinner, but did not. Before the summer is over, we will go!
Anyways, it is crazy to think I have been married to Rob for 4 years and have known him for 6 years. Time sure flies. We have had good years and a faith building year as well, I would not want to go back, we have grown from all of the experiences we have gone through. We are still in love with each other and we have had so much fun together. Rob is always so happy and energetic, he loves to sing me made up songs from some random tune he has in his head and it just makes me laugh. Crazy Man, thanks for 6 great years together and and eternity more to come!

Fireworks

We had a good 4th of July, on the 3rd they did fireworks and we usually go down the street to a park here with my whole family and relatives and we have goodies and chat before the fireworks start. It seemed like the fireworks lasted longer this year than I remember in the past. We had a great time and then we also had a barbecue with family the next day at 6:00. We saw a lot of the family we don't see very often and had yummy food and good conversation.

They also played baseball in the front, using a plastic bat and ball. It was a lot of fun to watch. I got into it more than I thought I would.

When everyone got done with the baseball, they started some fireworks. We stayed for a little longer and then decided it was time to head home to our beds. We had a great 4th of July weekend!

And the Winner is. . . . . .

Well, I put everyone's name on a piece of paper and drew one out of a bowl.

I really just want everyone to win. I think I will be doing this more often, maybe once a month or whenever I finish something I want to give away.

Well, the winner is. . . . .

Congratulations! I know where you live so I will deliver is myself.

Giveaway Closed!

I have drawn out a winner, but you will have to wait until I get ready. It has been a slow morning. Suspenseful, give me about an hour and I will post the winner.

Giveaway!!

Hey, I am finished with the hat and I absolutely LOVE how it turned out! So I am going to give it away, it will be sad to part with but I know I can make another. So, the size I mentioned earlier was a toddler size, but I actually made a young girl size. I tried it on myself also and it fit, so if you really want you could wear it also. Very versatile for any age. They really are only an inch different, and kids grow so if it does not fit now, it will fit later.
The size would fit about a 21" head around. I am pretty sure it would fit a toddler okay as well. There really are no rules, just enter once please and I will end the giveaway on July 3rd, so that gives everyone a week. Anyone can enter, as long as I have met you before.
After I find out who wins, if I do not know where you live, I will need an address so I can mail it or deliver it myself.
GOOD LUCK!!

The Monkey wears Prada

I found a lady on Etsy that makes crocheted animals, and she sells the patterns. So, I bought this Monkey wears Prada pattern, and went to town on it. I can't remember how long it took me, a lot shorter than I thought and it turned out cute. I don't think I will ever make one again, because I hate stitching pieces together. But, there are so many cute ones that I just might, especially since there is a boy Monkey that goes along with this one that I made. Anyways, here are some pictures of my finished Monkey.

And one without the hat.

Lost Interest!

I have kind of lost interest in blogging, I just never have anything to post or I am too lazy to upload pictures. It is kind of sad, I have started up my summer work, goes until the end of July with Fridays off, and I am done by 2:00p.m. every day. I wish I didn't have to work, but I get bored at home, so what do you do. Anyways, life is good, we are healthy, and I couldn't ask for anything more than that. We are going to celebrate our 4th Anniversary on Sunday, and I still have no plans. What I really want to do is go down to Salt Lake and eat at the Spaghetti Factory, oh yummy yummy, I could order anything on the menu. Mmmmmmmmmm! We might just have to drive down for dinner and then come home.
I should be having a give a way on here in the next little while, so keep checking. I am working on a toddler size girl hat that is pink and brown, I can't actually sell it for profit because of the copyright, so I will be giving it away.
I need to get my blogging spirits back up so I can remember what goes on in my life!

Two Thumbs Up!

Rob and I have been watching movies for a couple nights this week and we watched "Forever Strong" that just came out on DVD and it was so good. I cryed several times during the movie. It is one of those feel good movies. I really enjoyed this movie. So, if you ever get a chance, buy it and watch it. Very good!

Robs Birthday!

We celebrated over the weekend with family for Robs birthday, I will post pictures from that later though. To celebrate Robs birthday yesterday, we went to Best Buy to see if we could find a movie, no luck, plus everything is so expensive. We will just find cheaper ones online. We ordered take out from El Sol and we brought that home and ate. Then we picked up a movie from my parents house that my mom suggested was a good movie. We came home and watched "City of Ember" and I really liked it. It was just nice to spend some time with my honey, we don't usually watch movies very often. Just a nice relaxing evening. Happy Birthday, Honey!!
I Love You!

One year older, he turned 31.

And I finally chose a new look for my blog, it is a nice change!

I WON!!

I won a prize, yeah! So exciting, and I never win anything. I entered on Give Away Today (on my sidebar), they give something away every day of the week except Saturday and Sunday. You can enter three times usually. There have been some cool stuff on there. Well, today I was scrolling through the winners, and I saw my name, wow.

I won a Sample Skinny from Knuckleheaders, so my blog will be getting a new look. I like the look I have, but I think I need to update since I have not in a LONG while. They have some fun samples as well. So, get ready for a new look. It will be exciting!!

Sidenote: We are doing great, just finishing up work for me, until my summer run starts. I get a two week break, YEAH! I don't know what I am going to do yet during that time, just wish Rob had time off so we could have fun. Rob is working and doing great. I am getting ready for Robs birthday next week. He is getting old. I will post about that later. Great times, we are loving life!
