..Pillow Talk..

When I pulled out my Christmas decorations a few weeks ago, I decided my blue and brown pillows weren't very festive.  As luck would have it, I just happened to be in the mood to do something about it.  I spent the next 4 nights behind a sewing machine (in my sewing naivety, I thought the project was a one night deal) making slip covers for my pillows.  I found this great tutorial on how to make a slip cover here. As exhausted as I was nearly pulling 4 all nighters, I think they turned out pretty darn fabulous!  Go me! I kinda have the sewing bug now. ;)

..Eight is Great..

Ronnie turned 8 on December 4th.  I can hardly believe it.  He has been very excited for this birthday and has been talking about it for weeks now.  He is excited to be baptized and is looking forward to starting cub scouts.

I was so excited to give him this gift, and then as soon as he saw the big box, he guessed what it was.  :(

Kinda took the fun out of it.  But I think he's still excited about it.

 A basketball stand.  He started playing basketball last month at the YMCA and he is really enjoying it.  I think we found his sport.  He seems to have a natural knack for it.  We plan on keeping the wrestling going for awhile too.  Once he gets in school sports, he can choose one or the other.

 Masen, Ryland, and the birthday boy.

Tanner, Kyle, and Ronnie.  Opening his Paper Jamz guitar from Papa, Granny, and Tate.  This boy can do a wicked air guitar, so he was super excited about getting this.  He's been begging for one for a very long time.

 Ronnie is 100% Star Wars right now.  He's obsessed!  He wanted a Star Wars cake, and as previously mentioned, my kids get the shaft in the cake department, so this is all I came up with.  I didn't plan ahead very well, so I was working on limited time and resources.  I think he was still pleased.

Rockin' his new guitar!

He also got a spiffy new outfit for his baptism.  Thanks Gma, Gpa, and Kelsey.  

Can't wait to take pictures of my handsome boy in his new clothes. 

Ronnie is being baptized in Utah on December 22, 2010.

All family members and friends are invited to attend.

It will be held at the Heber City church building.

The actual baptism will begin at 7:00pm. 

Prior to the baptism we will be serving a soup buffet dinner for anyone that would like to come early and visit.  We will serve dinner from 5:00-6:45ish, so come whenever you can.
