Zucchini Time

My mom planted zucchini this year and it's been coming out our ears!!
Good thing my kids like zucchini bread & baked zucchini!!
This one was by far the biggest one we got.

but you're welcome to check it out on occasion.)

First Day Of School

The day has finally come for Xander to be in Kindergarten!! It's been a long time coming, he's had 2 years of pre-school. He's one of the older ones in his class (he'll be 6 in October). He was so ready to go, that he almost left me in his dust!! I had to holler at him a few times to slow down on the walk over to the school :)

Here are a bunch of kids from the ward that have class in the afternoon. Xander, Tanner, & Jarom all have Miss Watanabe, and Weston & Sarah have Miss Johnson.

They were so anxious to get in the room that they were all plastered against the window!
They all lined up to go into the classroom.

I love that Xander is so confident and loves going to school. It's going to be nice for him to be at school everyday, it makes for a really nice break :) It's been 2 days so far and we're looking forward to more!

Snakes & Waterfalls

On Wednesday when we were at my Grandma's house, Pat found a small snake in her backyard, caught it, and put it in a jar. Xander was loving having it but we decided to go up to Bridal Veil Falls and let it go that night.

Our attempt at a family picture.

The kids had a great time throwing rocks into the water, and it was nice to do something as a family before school started (not like we won't be able to, but you know what I mean).

Another Day, Another Skirt!

Here's my 3rd skirt for Mara. This one is by far my favorite.

I Think He's Ready For Sports

Too bad we missed the baseball season.

At least there's time for him to fine-tune his skills :)

Miss Watanabe

We met Xander's Kindergarten teacher at Back-To-School night. Xander was able to explore his classroom and is super excited for school to start. Too bad he has to wait another week. I'm SO ready for him to be in school.

I Found Something I Love To Do!!

Make Skirts!!!

This is the first one that I made. I used a 1/2 yard of fabric, made a tube, put a hem in, and elastic! It was very quick and easy.
This is my second one. I bought 5 Fat Quarters of fabric and pieced them together. I couldn't remember how to make ruffles, so I googled it.

I love how they turned out and I'm proud of myself because I didn't have a pattern for either of them! I have fabric to make 2 more tiered skirts and I'm going to try to make them 5 tiers instead of 3. So we'll see how that goes.

Family Fun

The whole Ramey family went out to breakfast on Saturday the 15th to Golden Corral. It was really nice to do something together as a family that was outside of Mom's house.

Ever since I made the princess pictures for Mara I have wanted to do something for Xander's wall and couldn't decide what to do. I had purchased the Cars Cricut cartridge a few months ago and finally decided to pull it out yesterday and get to work on stuff for him. I did the Rust-eze last night and the Dinoco today. I'm glad that this was a fast project, those are always my favorite.
