Congratulations...

to my brother Nathan and future sister-in-law Caitlin!

You two make such an awesome couple! I'm so excited for you!

Thanks to Caitlin's brother for taking such awesome pictures. Stolen from here.

a fun 4th of July

at the beach...

eating festive cookies...

going to the movies...and watching fireworks...

hope you're 4th was fun too!

I know it's wrong to covet your neighbor....

But what about coveting your friends?

Congratulations baby Kevin. You have some pretty awesome parents!

fun with felt

The past few months I've been seeing some super cute felt flower hair clips/headbands around and I've been wanting one real bad. But they're just too expensive! So I decided to make one for myself. But obviously I couldn't stop at just one...

This is the first one I made. I thought it looked better on Kelsey so I sent it home with her. (Plus, it matched her outfit that day. So I'm pretty sure it was meant to be.)

Then I made this brown one. I think it might be my favorite.

Next, I made this maroon one. I think it's pretty cute, but it's not my favorite. It looks sorta like a poinsettia to me. (If anyone wants it, just say the word.)

Since the other black and gray one looked better on Kelsey, I had to make one for me. Then I discovered it looked better on Becky, so I made her take it home.

Third times the charm! (I like it!)

I bought lots and lots of felt, in lots of fun colors! (Felt is surprising cheap. Buttons? Not so much.) I'm currently working on a pink one. It's turning out pretty cute. Hopefully I'll have a new batch to show you next month! :)
