Craft idea...

Here is a artsy project you might want to try with kiddos. Lilli and Abbi loved it. Sorry, I put the pics in opposite order starting with the end first. Scroll down for Step 1...Enjoy!

Here they are together...
Here is a close shot of Lilli's...
Step 3: Mix Strong Cast and pour into mold (1 part cast to 1/2 part room temp water). Let it sit for at least an hour. When dry, cut out carton, pull away the clay from the cast.


Step 2: Use found objects around the house to create your sculpture. Press into clay.




Step 1: Use an old carton (I used a boxed soup carton) and line it with clay.


Happy 4th weekend...

We spent the 4th of July weekend in Bend. We went to a funny dog parade downtown, got our faces painted, bbq at relatives house, watched fire works, and had fun on the boat...


Lilli got to drive!

Spokane adventures...











The day after the wedding we spent some time in downtown Spokane.

Daddy and Lilli wedding pics continued...

Lilli was Daddy's sidekick that night. Here they were dancing in the courtyard together...




















We have been out of town for the last 8 weekends now! Crazy how busy the summer months go. We have attended 3 weddings (California, Spokane, Seattle), one funeral:(, Bend, camping, and we will fly to Indiana in a few weeks to see my family. Here are some pics from our wedding in Spokane, WA. The girls were the flower girls...oh I wish I could of gotten it on camera their march down the aisle. Picture Lilli with her arms crossed and a big fat frown on her face! They both were exhausted by the time the wedding started---5:30pm. But, they did look cute!
